Villas in Shandong, China

The two owners are incredibly warm and welcoming, and the room was very tidy and clean. The sea-view room I booked indeed offered an ocean view right outside – a top-notch choice for enjoying the sea! It's part of a villa complex right by the beach, so stepping outside straight onto the sand was incredibly comfortable. It's a shame the weather wasn't perfectly sunny during my stay, so my photos aren't as good. The location is excellent; taking a taxi to places like the May Fourth Square isn't far at all. I'll definitely come back if I get the chance!

The third bathing beach is right at the door, and the sunrise and sunset are both nearby, which is very convenient. It can be a bit cold at the beach at night, and the air conditioning in the room was always on, which was considerate. It happened to be my birthday, and the staff also helped to give me a surprise, which left me with great memories.

A very amazing B&B, and also the most satisfying one during my three-day stay in Qingdao. First of all, it has an excellent location, right next to the May Fourth Square. We booked a balcony room, from which we can directly see all the beautiful scenery. Secondly, the service is very considerate. They confirmed the order in advance, confirmed the arrival time, and provided directions to the store. After I checked in, they sent me surrounding information, recommended restaurants, etc. The key is that the things I followed the boss's recommendations were all very good. I will definitely stay here next time I come.

STAYCATION | Qingdao in the off-season is simply a dream come true 🏖️ Qingdao in the off-season is absolutely stunning! When you're on vacation, you simply have to stay in a room with large floor-to-ceiling windows. You can lie in bed and watch the seagulls and waves crash against the rocks 🪨. The location is super convenient too, right in the most prominent spot on Qinyu Road. The room amenities are fantastic! ✅ Bvlgari toiletries ✅ Dyson hairdryer ✅ Kohler bathroom fixtures. The room's design is also very thoughtful! It has a micro-cement texture, so no worries about allergies 🤧. There's also a sea-view cafe on the first floor, and from the rooftop, you can overlook the famous 'S' curve of Qinyu Road. 🌃 You can even see a sky full of stars 🥹. Nearby, there's Luxun Park and Xiao Qingdao Park, and Qingdao's Signal Hill isn't far either. Oh, and this place is perfect for watching the sunset and evening glow 🌅. The sunset in Qingdao in the evening is something you'll remember forever. It's just so delightful 🥹🥹🥹. 📍 Qinyuhai B&B 👚 Styling tips: I recommend light-colored sweaters or coats for better photos.

The sanitation is good, it is not humid near the sea, the environment is very good, there are many flowers and plants, there is a small coffee shop, it is very comfortable to sit and watch the sea, the back door can go directly to the wooden boardwalk, it is very convenient to walk on the beach, visually it is the only hotel with sea view in the surrounding area, otherwise you have to go around a big circle to get to the beach. The takeaway is directly delivered to the front desk service is very good, and they also helped to get the takeaway. The location for watching the light show is perfect. However, there is a store under renovation next to the homestay recently, and the noise is relatively loud during the day. It doesn't matter if you go out to play, so you should be cautious when preparing for a vacation. The homestay cannot be cancelled once it is booked. In addition, I lost a charger, and asked if I could help find it to see if it was lost in the house. I agreed and then there was no sound. A charger is not worth much, but you have to let me know if you can find it.

Let me talk about the advantages first: the location is good. Although it is in a residential area, the navigation can accurately guide you to the entrance. After placing the order, the customer service manager will contact me proactively and pull a group of 7 people to solve various problems. He proactively upgraded to a sea-view king room and helped me carry my luggage. Let's talk about the disadvantages: I came here because of the high ratings, but after moving in I could still feel some shortcomings in the hardware and software. Let's talk about the hardware first. The guest rooms are in a villa with three floors. The first floor is the thighs, the second floor is the shoe-changing area and some guest rooms, and the third floor is another part of the guest rooms. The size of guest rooms is generally small, which is easy to understand if it is an economy hotel, but there are seven or eight bedrooms in a three-story villa. It is hard to imagine whether it is an original design or a later renovation. Disadvantages 1: There is no elevator, so it will be very troublesome for guests with suitcases. 2: Guests entering the guest room area are required to change into the slippers they provide on the second floor. They cannot wear their own shoes to enter the guest room area. They said that the wooden floor used in the villa decoration is more precious, so they must change shoes. I have stayed in so many hotels, whether they were handmade stalls or century-old hotels, the floors were already creaking, but no one asked me to change my shoes. I thought I was secretly staying in a palace. 3: The windows of the room face the street. Whether it is day or night, if the curtains are opened, the view inside the room can be seen without reservation (Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5). The housekeeper said there was a gauze curtain, but I didn’t find it. I also want to ask, what should I do if I want to hang clothes to dry? 4: There are many green plants planted outside the building, and many flowers and plants are arranged at the entrance of the first floor, which causes a lot of mosquitoes. Friendly reminder to the housekeeper that you can take long-term mosquito repellent measures around and at the entrance. The worst case scenario is mosquito coils. The cheapest ones don’t cost more than a few yuan a day, which is better than nothing, right? I just can't think of it. Now, let's talk about software. Question 1: A pair of slippers was provided in the bathroom, but there were foreign objects in them (Figure 6 and Figure 7), which clearly indicated that the bathroom was not cleaned or inspected properly. When you encounter a problem, there are a lot of explanations. Question 2: When cleaning, the housekeeper asked, ”We only clean the garbage in the bathroom and room. Do you want us to help you throw it away?” The expression is startling. Is there anyone who doesn’t throw away garbage? Or is “only cleaning the bathroom” a VIP service? Is there any other space besides the bathroom? The land is only this big.

After looking at many villas near Badaguan, we finally chose this one. It's just a few minutes' walk from the subway station. Our child absolutely loved it! It's a completely different experience from a regular hotel. The villa was spotless, and the staff were all incredibly warm and hospitable – truly heartwarming. The breakfast was also delicious and substantial enough for everyone. Badaguan and the Second Bathing Beach are just a few minutes' walk away. It was so relaxing to come back to the villa to rest after exploring!

Qingdao Cape No. 7: A Santorini-esque Surprise Tucked Away in Badaguan I initially chose my accommodation in Badaguan for its scenic beauty, but Cape No. 7 completely won me over with its 'beauty and substance' – it truly made my Qingdao trip exceptional! Exotic Charm: Instantly Transported to Santorini The moment I stepped into the courtyard, I was amazed by the blue and white palette. A Greek-style windmill stands at the entrance, a blue mailbox complements the arched doorways, and even the corner decorations exude a Mediterranean vibe. Every snap could be a viral social media post. The absolute highlight is the rooftop terrace, offering an unobstructed 270-degree sea view. Watching the sunset paint the sea crimson here in the evening, with the romantic sea breeze, I truly felt as if I was on the Aegean coast. The rooms continue the simple yet elegant design of white walls and blue accents. Opening the window reveals the azure sea and lush trees, and you can even enjoy the ocean view from the bathtub – talk about a complete resort experience! Hygiene and Facilities: Quality in the Details As a clean freak, I found the hygiene here completely reassuring. The sheets and duvet covers had a faint fresh scent, there wasn't a speck of dust on the tables or in the corners, and even the washbasin was sparkling clean. Thoughtful amenities like disposable towels and toilet seat covers were also provided. The facilities far exceeded those of a typical guesthouse: the Sealy mattress felt like sinking into a cloud (the same model used in the Burj Al Arab in Dubai), a Bose speaker played soft music, and details like Kohler fixtures and a MUJI aroma diffuser added a touch of luxury and comfort. An even greater surprise was the soundproofing; even in a downtown scenic area, closing the door ensured a quiet, private space. Service and Breakfast: Heartwarming and Delicious From check-in to check-out, I received gentle, butler-style service throughout. They proactively helped with luggage, prepared umbrellas on rainy days, and provided incredibly detailed recommendations for local food and attractions. Breakfast was a daily delight; I could choose to have it delivered to my room for a private experience, starting the morning with the sea breeze – utterly blissful. The café on the ground floor also served afternoon tea, and the white peach oolong paired perfectly with the sea view – such is the happiness of a lazy afternoon. To seamlessly blend exotic charm, quality hardware, and warm service so well, it's no wonder this guesthouse is certified as a Class A B&B by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Next time I visit Qingdao, this will definitely be my first choice!

Very friendly and helpful staffs, they provide excellence services. The room is so cosy and relax. The location is so good, walking distance to seaside, coffee shop, shopping malls, May Fourth Square, some local restaurants and Metro station. There is a cosy and romantic coffee shop near the hotel, called Waveside Coffee House, enjoy my coffee with romantic sunset.

I highly recommend everyone to stay at Mu'an B&B when you go to Weihai. The boss is very nice, a typical Shandong person who is hospitable and enthusiastic. Although the location of the B&B is far from some attractions, the boss can rent a car to go anywhere conveniently. There is the sea outside the B&B. It is very quiet at night. Listen to the sound of the sea hitting the shore. Get up at four in the morning to watch the sunrise. I put two pictures for everyone to feel. I feel that this life is not lived in vain. People only live a few moments in their lifetime. I am very lucky to meet the boss I am looking for. It is also very fate. I really envy the boss who lives here every day. There are also many attractions and food around the B&B. The room is clean and comfortable, and the feeling of being awakened by the sun and the sea in the morning is so healing. The most unforgettable thing is the hospitality of the boss. From the thoughtful travel suggestions to the thoughtful service, our entire journey is full of warmth. Whether it is the style, environment or living experience of the homestay, it is far beyond our expectations. If I come to Weihai again, I will definitely stay here again. I came here in a hurry this time and I missed many attractions and sea experiences, but the regret is for the next meeting. Next time, I must come to Weihai to have a good time. I have connections here and met such a good boss. Such a good homestay must be recommended to everyone who pursues quality and warmth! Discuss it! Discuss it! Discuss it hard! The boss makes a lot of money!
