Villas in Shandong, China

If I could give this hotel more than five stars, I would. My parents stayed here while travelling alone through China, and I organised their journey from Germany. Since they do not speak Chinese, I was worried about them, but the wonderful staff gave me a feeling of safety from the very first moment. Their service was truly exceptional. They organised tickets, traditional clothing and styling for my mother, dinner, transportation, an early transfer to the railway station, and breakfast for the journey. When my father became ill, they immediately helped him get medicine and even paid for it themselves. What touched us most was the genuine kindness behind everything they did. They treated my parents like friends and family, not simply as hotel guests. When I offered them a tip to thank them, they refused and said that we were friends. I still feel emotional when I think about their beautiful hearts. The hotel itself is wonderful, clean, peaceful, and beautifully designed, but the people are what make this place unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care of my parents. We will never forget your kindness. My husband and I sincerely hope to visit Qufu one day and meet you ourselves. This hotel deserves every possible recommendation.

I stumbled upon this coffee shop with an incredible ocean view while visiting Qingdao. After chatting with the owner, I learned they also have a B&B! So here I am! It's so popular! I'd been looking at it for days and was about to miss it, but I managed to book it for my last night in Qingdao! This B&B is truly amazing. It's literally 100% of the ocean, and not only is the ocean view unbeatable, but it's also just a short distance from the city's landmark, May Fourth Square, and the beach! The fiery sunset and light show (which started around 7 or 8 a.m., creating a vibrant and colorful spectacle of buildings) offer unparalleled views of Qingdao's most beautiful scenery! The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable, with comprehensive amenities. The common areas inside and outside the villa were also beautiful and clean! The environment was quiet, and I didn't have to worry about the coffee shop ruining my B&B experience. The housekeeper was incredibly attentive. Before I even arrived, I called and added them on WeChat, sent them the location and check-in instructions, and even greeted me at the door. Upon arrival, we were treated to a refreshing summer drink freshly brewed in the cafe, which completely washed away the fatigue of the journey. We were quite casual and didn't need anything, but the housekeeper took better care of us than we would have. Such thoughtfulness! When we checked out, they even helped carry our luggage from the room to the car. Such a thoughtful touch! I absolutely must share this warm and high-quality B&B with friends who are visiting Qingdao for a seaside vacation. I'll definitely be bringing my family back next time. Book a few days in advance; don't try to leave it to chance like I did.

This was my favorite place to stay throughout my trip. It's a 2-3 minute walk from Gate 3 of the Naval Museum, and 5 minutes to Xiao Qingdao and Lu Xun Park. Although it's technically a guesthouse, the service and facilities are on par with a hotel. The room was spacious and bright. The 'Huaisha' room is perfect for families with two children, featuring a 2-meter king bed and a 1.4-meter tatami – the kids absolutely loved it! You can even see the Naval Museum from the room. Qin Yu Road is right outside on the first floor. We enjoyed leisurely strolls to the Naval Museum and Xiao Qingdao around 5 am; it was cool and there were no crowds. They offer a generous afternoon tea every day, which the kids adored so much they didn't want to leave. Breakfast was a bit pricey if added separately. Dining options nearby are limited; you have to walk about 10 minutes to the main road for more choices.

A fairytale-like little house by the sea! The room was small but clean and tidy! Right outside the French windows was the beautiful bay! You could watch the tide rise and fall throughout the day! Standing by the window, all you could see was the vast blue ocean 🌊! Just outside the community, there's a seaside wooden boardwalk, perfect for a stroll in the morning or evening, enjoying the sea breeze and the views! It's really lovely!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! I originally booked the queen room with the balcony, which was lovely, but after heavy rain the ceiling developed a leak so I got moved to the best room in the hotel. The owner got workmen in to fix the leak within a couple of days, and even gave me and my partner a free drink as well as the room upgrade. Both rooms were clean, nicely decorated, and comfy. You can add the owner on WeChat to request daily cleaning and whatever else you need. The hotel is literally next to the sea, and you can get a great view from the roof top terrace. There is also a nice pool and a resident dog, Mike, who is very friendly. The staff are all friendly and the owner even spoke some English. Tbh, the hotel is on the pricier side for China, but it's well worth it!

This hotel definitely deserves a strong recommendation! Location: The hotel's location is excellent, right by the sea at the Olympic Sailing Center. You can catch the ferry right outside the hotel, making it super convenient to queue up and see the 'Orange Sea' (sunset over the water). It's also very close to Ginza and Hisense Plaza, so it's easy to find plenty of great food, including authentic local seafood. Environment: We had a sea-view room, and you could see the ocean right from the bedroom window – it was absolutely beautiful. You could even catch the Lights Show at May Fourth Square from the room. The location truly is fantastic. Cleanliness: The room was clean and tidy, with a very stylish and tastefully decorated interior. It was particularly lovely and felt very cozy. Service: Although there's no elevator, the owner's attitude was exceptionally good. They helped carry our two heavy suitcases upstairs and came to assist us when we were leaving. They would always ask if we needed water when we went out, and if we left anything behind, they'd enthusiastically bring it to us. In summary, it was an incredibly good stay with super high value for money. Owner, please keep making lots of money! 😭😭

The hygiene is really not clean. Probably the aunt is old and the boss is very good, but the taxi is very convenient. Although the road is very tortuous, the driver will find it. There are many messy machines in the room, maybe the basement is a bit smelly. There is no network, TV can't be watched, the hair dryer is bad, and there are still a lot of hair on the sink that has not been cleaned. What's even more terrible is that I don't know who left half a bottle of water, didn't throw it, the child drank it... I was scolded for one night. Really a bad experience, so I left early the next morning.

The hygiene was good, and the environment was fantastic. The rooftop was perfect for stunning photos. I just wish the small devices in the room, like the mini-speaker and mood lights, were fully charged. What truly stood out was the amazing, first-class service from the staff – that alone made it worth it! Next time I'm with my girlfriends, we'll definitely stay here again.

Environment: Looks okay, no problems, and the space is sufficient. Facilities: All facilities are available; you can order takeout, but the wait might be a bit long. Cleanliness: Good, no issues. Service: The staff member was beautiful and kind. The room environment is as follows: Located in a relatively remote area, it wasn't too crowded during the National Day holiday, making it suitable for those seeking a quiet and comfortable stay. It was quite comfortable, with fresh air. You can enjoy the sea and sunrise from your bed, and the beach is only 600-700 meters away—practically right downstairs. Compared to the hustle and bustle of May Fourth Square in the city, I really liked the atmosphere here.

Perfect location for exploring Badaguan district and its surrounding. Mr Sun and his business partner were perfect hosts. Nothing is too difficult for them. Other staff were very courteous and friendly. Apart from catered Qingdao style breakfast, the hotel Cafe offers a la carte western style meal. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Note: Hotel is a 3 level property and housed in an older European style villa. There is no lift facility. Staff will be very to help with your luggage though.
