Villas in Shandong, China

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.

I had an amazing stay at Villa Inn No.30 in Qingdao. It feels more like a cozy seaside home than a hotel, which made my trip even more special. The service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything I needed. Their hospitality made me feel truly cared for throughout my stay. The room was comfortable, clean, and offered a beautiful view. Waking up to the scenery every morning was one of the highlights of my trip. The location is also excellent—it’s close to the beach and within walking distance of many delicious local restaurants. I truly loved staying here and would definitely come back. If you’re looking for a peaceful, charming place with outstanding service in Qingdao, I highly recommend Villa Inn No.30!

This guesthouse boasts an excellent location with plenty of entertainment options nearby, including a fantastic light show. I have to praise the cleanliness of the room – it was meticulously cleaned from top to bottom. There wasn't a speck of dust on the floor or windowsills, and the bathroom was dry and mold-free. All the bedding was freshly laundered, completely free from the damp, musty smell often found in seaside accommodations. The appliances are all new, the AC cools down quickly, and hot water is instantly available. The screen mirroring quality is crystal clear, and the smart home features are very user-friendly. Being right by the sea, it was a clean and comfortable stay. Highly satisfied!

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! 😭😭

This was my first time to Qingdao and I had no idea where to stay. Then I choose this. The location is a bit far from the may fourth square or other tourists spot but its a good location for homely stay. The hoise location was exact and so I could find it even at mid night on the first day. The room has all modern facilities but I must stay the room is a bit small. You may not be able to enjoy freedom of space here. But the owner was a kind hearted lady. She is always smiley and helpful which will make any tourist happy. I loved her attitude and gesture. I recommend this if you have a long vacation and you want a more homely environment..

This hotel was a complete surprise! It's just a two-minute walk from the Confucius Temple, and the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. All the accommodations are charming two-story villas, each featuring a living room, study, two bedrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs), and even a drying room – they truly have everything. The room design is a stunning blend of classical Chinese aesthetics, and it's incredibly clean. The breakfast for two was also incredibly comprehensive; my daughter and I aren't big eaters, so we didn't even get the buns, wontons, and noodles served, fearing waste. My daughter didn't want to leave because our stay was so comfortable. I also have to commend our butler. The museum guide and Three Confucius sites guide they recommended were both top-tier professionals in their field, and they explained everything wonderfully! They also helped arrange our visit to Nishan Sacred Land, which saved me both money and effort.

The coastal homestay I stayed in this time was a great experience! The location of the homestay is great, just a few minutes walk from the beach. Standing on the balcony, you can overlook the sparkling sea, and the sunset in the evening is beautiful! The room is warm and clean, the details are very well done, the bedding is soft and skin-friendly, and it is very comfortable to live in. The front desk brother and sister are so enthusiastic! When checking in, they patiently introduced the surrounding attractions and transportation, and recommended affordable and delicious seafood stalls. When encountering problems, they are available on call, and help solve them quickly and well. It is safe and comfortable to live here, and the cost-effectiveness is super high. Next time you come to the beach for vacation, you will definitely choose here again!

Coming to Qingdao this season was such great value for money! It was my first time staying here, and the owner was incredibly welcoming. The breakfast was exquisite, and the underground parking was super convenient. The sea view from the rooftop was absolutely stunning, and a walk along the beach was so relaxing.

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.

This guesthouse is almost a hundred years old, and the decor has been restored as much as possible to its original European style. Staying here can't help but remind me of my life in Europe back in the day. The indoor facilities are complete, the room is clean, and the owner is incredibly kind and enthusiastic. I'd definitely come back if I have the chance! ❤️
