5-Star Hotels in Xinjiang, China

The hotel is quite large, and at first glance, it gives off a five-star vibe. The room is spacious, and the decor is clearly well-thought-out. The style is very modern and trendy, and the materials used are all of good quality. The hairdryer is similar to a Laifen (and works great!). They even provide latex pillows by default (which is a huge plus!). However, the cleanliness isn't up to par (a common issue in Xinjiang hotels). You can clearly see stains. They have two robots that deliver food, and when they arrive at your door, there's an automatic voice reminder in the room. The breakfast spread is also good, with a wide variety of options. ⚠️ The only thing that really drags it down is that the rooms aren't smoke-free. One day, when I left my room, the hallway reeked of smoke. I'm not sure which room it was coming from, but it immediately dropped my perception of the hotel down to a 3-star level. 🤦‍♂️

The room was clean and tidy, and the view was fantastic – right opposite the winter ski slopes. They even gave us complimentary cable car tickets to go up to the mountain top, and the scenery was beautiful. The hotel service was excellent; the butler was very responsive, enthusiastic, and friendly. Breakfast was also great, a blend of Western and Chinese cuisine, and it was the most satisfying breakfast I've had during my stay. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time.

The environment is absolutely fantastic! It's a riverside campsite, and you can tell it's been thoughtfully designed, with clever touches everywhere. We unfortunately spent too much time at the attractions and arrived quite late. The campsite offers a bonfire, BBQ, and Uighur girls dancing. On the way to the river, there's also a splash pad for kids, so we really should have arrived earlier. The only minor thing is the gravel path at the entrance, which seems intentionally designed. You can contact the camp beforehand to have staff help with your luggage, as it's a bit difficult to drag suitcases yourself. Also, the soundproofing in the tents isn't the best, but that's to be expected when choosing a campsite. Overall, it's a great camp, and the breakfast selection is very rich. You can also request an oxygen machine.

Even in Yining, Xinjiang, the Intercontinental Hualuxe maintains the consistent high standards of an IHG brand hotel. We traveled a long way with our friends, arriving in Yining from Urumqi after 4 PM. The lovely manager at the front desk (a Uyghur lady) immediately helped us check in. Seeing that we were a family of three with a lot of luggage, she even upgraded us to a deluxe twin room and gave us a complimentary breakfast 🍳. The hospitality of the Xinjiang people was truly evident. That evening, being unfamiliar with the area, we decided to dine at the hotel's Chinese restaurant. They offered a blend of Xinjiang and Cantonese cuisine. As someone from Guangdong, I was delighted to find an authentic 'Yang Zhi Gan Lu' (mango pomelo sago) dessert 🍨 – it was absolutely five-star amazing! We will definitely choose to stay at the Intercontinental Hualuxe again when we return from the grasslands and canyons! ~👍

My recent stay at the Silk Road Rendezvous B&B in Kashgar Old City completely overturned three of my preconceived notions about B&Bs in just a few days. Change 1: Re-evaluating B&Bs – More than just a place to sleep, it's about living your dream life. The moment I stepped into their private courtyard, the world instantly quieted down. Outside, there was the vibrant hustle and bustle of the thousand-year-old city, but inside the courtyard, it was a tranquil oasis where time seemed to stand still. Drinking tea and simply relaxing under the big tree, bathed in dappled light, I truly experienced a 'haven in the heart of the city.' This was exactly the Kashgar I'd dreamt of – the B&B itself was a destination. Change 2: Re-evaluating service managers – From 'call if you need anything' to 'being quietly accompanied and pampered.' Xiao Mu and Xiao Yue were warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive. They even kindly accompanied us on tours of the old city, explaining its history, helping us book show tickets, assisting us in attending a Uyghur wedding, and teaching us Uyghur dances. Their constant care made us feel incredibly warm, surprised, and touched! Change 3: Re-evaluating accommodations within a scenic area – Who says vibrancy and tranquility can't coexist? I used to worry that B&Bs in scenic areas would be 'noisy, chaotic, and expensive.' But here, opening the door brings you into the vibrant daily life of the ancient city, while closing it envelops you in the serenity of my private courtyard. It turns out that even in the heart of a scenic area, you can find the blissful feeling of a secluded retreat. Finally, I want to extend a special thanks to the two managers, Xiao Mu and Xiao Yue. You transformed 'service' into genuine 'companionship.' One created comfort in the rooms, and the other planted warmth in our hearts. While the beautiful sights and delicious food of Kashgar might eventually fade from memory, your smiles will stay with me forever.

We booked the guest rooms, which are actually a “盲盒” concept where you get whichever room is available upon check-in. Luckily, we were upgraded to wooden cabins with two rooms each. Since I booked 3 rooms, they arranged 2 wooden cabins for us. Each cabin came with two independent bedrooms with attached bathrooms, plus a shared living room. We absolutely loved it because we could gather and spend time together in the living room. We even had steamboat there one evening, which made the stay feel extra cozy, lovely, and convenient. There was also a huge open area in front of the cabins, but unfortunately the wind during our stay was too strong for us to sit outside. In the evening, sheep were grazing right outside our unit. On good weather days, you can even see Sayram Lake and the snow mountains directly from the cabin, which was really beautiful. The cabins are spread across a large area, so you do need to walk to your unit, but the pathways are properly paved and easy to walk on. Our cabin was about 200m from the car park. Special shoutout to the staff, Hemu and Dan Ni Er, who were extremely helpful. They used their small transport buggy to help move our luggage during check-in and check-out. Since we were travelling with elderly family members who had difficulty walking, they also kindly gave them rides to and from the cabin, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommended for those looking for a different and more memorable experience compared to a normal hotel stay.

A perfect stay, truly a top choice for accommodation when traveling. Gina provided 24-hour service that was professional and efficient, and her reception was polite and appropriate, with no cumbersome procedures throughout my stay. The room decor was simple yet upscale, with exquisite soft furnishings, and the entire space was immaculately clean, free of odors and stains. The mattress and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a superb quality of rest. The facilities were well-maintained; the lobby was elegant and quiet, and the environment was tranquil. The location is prime, with convenient transportation. From the service to the amenities, everything showed great care. The value for money far exceeded other hotels at the same price point. It's my first choice for travel accommodation and worth repeated bookings!

This Tashi County Treasure Stargazing Camp is absolutely amazing! The views are incredible, with snow-capped mountains and meadows right outside your window. The starry night sky is simply breathtaking. The tent setup far exceeded my expectations, with oxygen supply and underfloor heating, making our high-altitude stay incredibly comfortable. The hygiene was excellent, and the staff provided warm and attentive service. It's perfect for family trips and definitely a must-visit for anyone traveling to the Pamir region!

A truly satisfying stay! The guesthouse was exceptionally clean, spotless throughout with no dust or odd smells. The room was meticulously cleaned, making for a very comfortable experience. The room itself was new, with a charming local-style decor and all facilities were complete, convenient to use, and modern. Being located within the ancient city made getting around easy, and the rooftop offered stunning views. The service was thoughtful and attentive, and overall, everything was excellent. I couldn't find a single fault with either the cleanliness or the room facilities. It offers great value for money and I genuinely recommend it to anyone visiting Kashgar!

This stay truly exceeded my expectations. The facilities are well-maintained, the location is great, and the cleanliness is meticulous. Breakfast offered a fantastic variety. But what impressed me most was the service. From the front desk to housekeeping and the restaurant, every staff member greeted us with a genuine smile. When my child was being a bit restless, a lady at the front desk proactively gave them a pixel art toy, which was such an unexpected and delightful surprise. This warmth, more than any amenity, is what truly made our stay special. A well-deserved five-star rating!
