Homestays in Inner Mongolia, China

Since I was traveling with elderly family members and was concerned about them getting cold at night, I decided against booking a ground-level yurt and instead chose this 'Starry Sky Pasture' accommodation. I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. First, parking was incredibly convenient, which is crucial for a group of five traveling in a 7-seater minivan. Then, we were greeted by charming Mongolian-style buildings, topped with yurts perfect for stargazing. The rooms were fantastic, and the owner was incredibly kind – he even upgraded our room because we were with seniors. The room was spotless, the bedding was clean and comfortable, and disposable toiletries were provided. The 'starry sky yurt' had air conditioning, so it wasn't cold at all. We could even watch the sunrise and sunset from the third floor, which I thought was great value! The restaurant food was absolutely delicious. We ordered roasted lamb ribs, mushroom with sliced meat, cold beef slices... and even some kumis. Wow, both the taste and price exceeded my expectations – so tasty! Especially the beef and lamb ribs, they were incredibly fragrant and highly recommended! The owner even gave us a small gift when we left, which was a very thoughtful touch. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends because I feel I made the perfect choice! It's very unique, clean, and tidy, in a great location with easy parking, and delicious food! The main thing is, the owner is wonderful!

I spent the weekend with family and friends visiting the Desert Herdsman Homestay, and the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended! The courtyard landscaping is very tasteful, with an exquisite and elegant Chinese-style welcoming pine tree. Sitting in the private courtyard, enjoying tea and conversation is incredibly relaxing. The outdoor barbecue area is well-planned, with tables suitable for small gatherings, a large canopy with a rainproof roof for team building meals, and a full range of commercial grills, making it convenient for self-service grilling skewers and roasting whole lamb. The elevated camping platform under the trees offers shade from the native forest, decorated with Mongolian patterns that add a local touch, creating a fantastic tent camping atmosphere. The owner cleverly uses the well house as a popular photo spot, with auspicious text and koi fish decorations, resulting in excellent photos. Nestled in the countryside, backed by cornfields and protective forests, the environment is quiet and free from urban noise, with low light pollution at night, allowing for clear stargazing. The venue is well-maintained, with gravel paving and hardened floors that are both aesthetically pleasing and fireproof and drainage-resistant. The owner is warm and welcoming, and food and equipment can be booked in advance. It's suitable for short trips to the suburbs, family gatherings, company team building, and camping stays. It's a rare gem of a rural homestay in the Dalate Banner area, with an elegant and pristine environment, thoughtfully designed photo spots, and attentive service. It's suitable for team building and family trips. The hygiene details are handled meticulously, making it a worry-free experience. Every facility and room is newly renovated, with coordinated colors for the bedding and curtains. The rooms are clean, bright, and comfortable, and quiet, perfect for relaxation.

The existence of Dream Love Inn is full of charm. The house and the scenery blend naturally. Any photo you take is a masterpiece. The attentive butler service is perfect. The food is complete and delicious. When the entire grassland hostel was out of power, the service was thoughtful and orderly, allowing tourists to continue to enjoy the leisure of the holiday. Although it was an accident, it made people feel that the accident happened beautifully. Bicycles, lambs, Ponyo, chess games, each seemingly ordinary setting meets the children's entertainment needs, allowing adults to enjoy the tranquility while children will not feel bored. The service sister was very patient and coaxed my little brother to play happily. There are too many pictures, and dinner is accompanied by a good night sweet soup. A super five-star experience, I will continue to choose Dalezhiye

The B&B's environment perfectly matches the photos online. If the weather is good, it's a fantastic spot for pictures – we even caught a breathtaking sunset during our visit! The lobby is stylishly decorated with a strong Mongolian cultural flair. They have a restaurant on-site, so all your dining needs are covered. With coffee, drinks, and hot springs, the facilities are truly comprehensive. The staff, both male and female, are very friendly and provide great service. It's truly one of the best B&Bs in the area.

If you’re staying in Hohhot and want a genuine, memorable experience, this is the place!!! I can’t recommend this homestay enough. From the moment we stepped into the compound, the warmth of the family was immediately felt. You’ll be welcomed by a lovely lady, her husband, and his brother, who treat you less like a guest and more like family. Within minutes of arriving, they greeted us with snacks, a gift, and let us know they were already preparing a local dinner. We sat down with them that evening, sharing a spread of local dishes and drinks, it was a genuinely special night. I don’t speak a word of Chinese, and yet through Translate we had a wonderful time together. Before heading to bed, they asked what time we needed to leave in the morning so breakfast would be ready for us which was very nice! Morning came with their dogs greeting us and a delicious homemade local breakfast waiting at the table. As for the yurt itself, it’s beautiful and incredibly cozy inside, exactly what you’d hope for. There’s heating in there in case you get cold as well. We stayed two nights, and on our second evening we had to turn in early for an early flight. The other guest, though, stayed up late singing and dancing with the family, which honestly made me wish we could have stayed longer. I’d give this place a 20/10 if I could. I booked it thinking it was just somewhere interesting to sleep for the night. What I didn’t know was that it would end up being a highlight of my trip to China.

I am a young Englishman on a 20 day solo self-drive road trip across northern Heilongjian and Inner Mongolia. After my stay in Hulun Buir, I decided to drive down to Arxan for 2 nights exploring. I booked this stay based off of the other foreign guests' positive experience. I arrived in the town late in the evening. The boss was waiting for me and was attentive and welcoming from the start. The room is very spacious and comfortable, and the temperature was just right. Everything is provided and replaced when needed. After hiking in the national park, I came back to the boss and his extended family making CNY preparations. Then I was invited to drink Chinese tea (Dian Hong) at their tea table. I was then welcomed to eat with the family, drink beer and eat until I was full. I was welcomed not just as a guest of theirs, but as a family friend. In mid-winter, Aershan/Arxan is a quiet and cold place. I came as part of a long journey taking my rented 4x4 Tank 300 through the snow and ice on routes apart of the Hulun Buir Snow and Ice Festival. My journey was peaceful, solemn and isolated. The hospitality and warm welcome was exactly what I needed after my long drive alone and it is a memory I will take home to the UK with me. I highly recommend this guesthouse, especially if you are travelling solo across this wilderness. Thank you brother. I look forward to returning in the near future with my partner, and when my mandarin is better.

I traveled alone with my 3 year old daughter and we had a fantastic stay! The owner was very kind to upgrade us to the largest king size bed room which was very spacious for my kid to run around. Unfortunately she didn’t realize we booked 2 nights and made us move the second night but still gave us an upgraded room! She made up for it by helping me move and watch my child while I settled into the second room. She and the restaurant chef were so kind with allowing us to eat a late breakfast because my child was too tired and could not wake up in time before breakfast ended. The chef made us a delicious fried rice with some tomato/eggs and hot Mongolian milk te which was the best meal we’ve had in Inner Mongolia because we are tired of eating lamb. Everyone treated us so well and loved my outgoing daughter. We sang karaoke at night and my daughter sat on the swings and ran around in the courtyard playing. I loved that the light to the AC turns off when the room lights turn off but the AC is still working. It makes sleep so much better to not have a light shining on you. The rooms are very new and there’s lots of cabinet space. Parking is available. Bottled water, slippers, shampoos/body wash are all provided. We also got free tickets to the grassland which we unfortunately could not make it to but appreciated. Thank you to the owner and the staff for making our stay so comfortable! We will definitely come back and stay again!

The best equestrian camp on Hulunbuir prairie! The boss and his wife are super nice👍The wooden villa is very comfortable to live in! It’s not cold at all in winter with heating! The meals prepared by the boss are also super delicious! The boss lady’s cooking skills are amazing! Every night I happily chat with the boss and his wife until late at night before going to bed. I am very happy🥳

It was a wise decision to stay in this loft B&B next to the East Railway Station when traveling to Hohhot this time! As a tourist from other places, you can arrive quickly after getting off the train. The transportation is super convenient. The host was as enthusiastic as family. He not only patiently answered our questions, but also shared travel tips and food recommendations for the surrounding area. I was stunned the moment I walked into the room. The design of the Loft is very stylish, and the space layout is reasonable and full of artistic sense. The room is spotless, the facilities are new and complete, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and the toiletries are exquisite. Living here is particularly safe and comfortable, and it feels like being at home. I highly recommend it to friends who come to Hohhot. I will choose here again next time!

Nice stay, food is available for morning, lunch, dinner extra activities: - go kart - horse riding - dancing and singing from locals during lunch/dinner a performance show available close to here, the owner can sell you the tickets for 140 instead of 280 from the ticket office. sometimes you don’t have warm water, so it might be a bit difficult during winter.
