Mountain view Hotels in Bole

Just parked my car, quite a distance away, and someone immediately came over to help with my luggage – super enthusiastic! You can do laundry here, and when someone was hogging the washing machine, the owner even stepped in to talk to them. The hotel offers views of Sayram Lake and is very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle. It's not far from Sayram Lake, just a seven to eight-kilometer drive. The price is half that of other hotels in the tourist area. Overall, it's a great value!

The hotel is right opposite the east gate visitor center of Sayram Lake, with a whole street of restaurants. The only downside is that parking spots in front are quite limited; if you come back late, you might have to park a bit further away. The soundproofing in the rooms isn't great. Around 1 AM, I could still hear kids running and shouting in the room next door. Breakfast in the morning was incredibly busy. With so many tourists and not enough seating, the staff were clearly overwhelmed during peak hours. Food wasn't replenished fast enough, and tables weren't cleared promptly.

The location is superb, with direct views of Sayram Lake from the lake-view rooms, showcasing the lake, mountains, flowers, and even cats. On clear days, you can even see snow-capped mountains. The service was also good; any small issues were resolved smoothly. The hotel offers afternoon tea and late-night snacks, ensuring you're always fueled up with carbs, so even late-arriving travelers can enjoy a satisfying meal and drink.

When I booked the yurt, my simple desire was to bring my 4-and-a-half-year-old to experience Kazakh culture and a different way of life. But... Surprise 1: Located at the highest point of Sai Lake, I could wake up to watch the sunrise and even see the entire lake. For adults, the view is incredible. Surprise 2: The owners are a family of three. Their son is a handsome Kazakh man who speaks Mandarin the best in the family. He handles all customer communications, making communication seamless. The family is incredibly friendly and helpful, and they'll do their best to satisfy any request, as long as they can. Surprise 3: They have a herd of cattle, and another family on the hill behind them has a herd of sheep. They also have two sheepdogs and several horses. It's a truly delightful experience for children. They can play with the dogs, talk to the lambs, ride horses, and ride horses... And they even learned to distinguish between sheep and cow dung, as it's so common and natural. Surprise 4: For dinner, we ordered lamb skewers, braised lamb chops, and pilaf. Two adults and one child couldn't finish them all; the portions were generous and the flavors were excellent. The clear mutton soup had no mutton smell at all (it's best to order it in advance, as it takes about two hours to simmer). Of course, if you're choosing a yurt, you should be prepared. Only consider choosing one if you can accept the following: 1) There's no private toilet, only a dry toilet, and no showers. 2) There's a stove inside, and you have to add the charcoal yourself at night, otherwise it won't last until the next morning. 3) The standard of cleanliness should be comparable to other yurts, not five-star hotels. Overall, if I were to stay in this area again, I would still choose this yurt.

I chose the Muyun Shanjia Hotel for my trip to Sayram Lake, and the location is really convenient. You can walk to nearby supermarkets, shops, and unique restaurants. The room was clean and tidy, with complete facilities, making for a comfortable stay overall. The front desk service was attentive and helpful with all my questions. I had a fantastic experience and highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel facilities are great, and the breakfast is good too. They even offer complimentary fruits and drinks, which is fantastic! I was told check-in was at 2 PM, but I couldn't actually check in at that time because they said the room wasn't cleaned yet, which caused a bit of a delay. However, they did allow me to store my luggage. The hotel is right next to a construction site, and while the noise isn't too bad, the view is really disappointing, honestly. After other guests checked out, they just handed out room cards without verifying any information, simply by asking for the room number. This led to someone else opening my room door and then rudely entering and rummaging through my belongings! Although the front desk later apologized, for a 5-star hotel, their staff training is really subpar and shows a complete disregard for customer privacy! The service staff were all polite, but I just feel like the hotel management is unprofessional. I hope the hotel improves in the future!

This is a fantastic new hotel, just a few minutes' drive from the east gate of Sayram Lake. The underfloor heating was wonderfully warm, and the facilities were comprehensive. Parking was convenient, and they even thoughtfully provided earplugs for light sleepers. The breakfast spread was incredibly rich – many hotels around Sayram Lake don't even offer breakfast, and this one was still reasonably priced!

I was traveling with my parents, and I specifically asked for a quiet room. However, we were placed next to a room where people played mahjong all night, and my elderly parents barely got any sleep. I thought the room was 40 square meters, but it turned out to be 40 square meters spread across two floors (a duplex), and the owner told me it was 'usable area,' not 'room area.' This is the first time I've ever heard of a hotel listing 'usable area' – I'm speechless! On the positive side, the staff's attitude was quite good, and the hotel is very close to the scenic area with lots of snacks nearby. We checked out a bit late after exploring, and they even extended our checkout time for free, which was nice. It's also very close to Sayram Lake, making it super convenient for watching the sunrise.

The room features a panoramic glass window, allowing you to enjoy the grassland scenery right from your bed. On a clear day, you can even catch a glimpse of Sayram Lake. The room itself is very spacious, with excellent natural light and complete amenities. We also met a lovely, friendly black kitten at the camp. If you're visiting Sayram Lake and don't want to stay in a traditional hotel, I highly recommend this place. It's super convenient for watching both sunset and sunrise, and it's also very close to the scenic area.

This hotel is a great choice for visiting Sayram Lake. The view from the window is of windmills and grasslands – absolutely stunning and soothing. The rooms are clean and tidy, the service is warm and attentive, and the amenities are complete. It's convenient for watching the sunrise and sunset, and you can see the starry sky just above – what a beautiful place!
