JuliaThis hotel was a highlight of our Xinjiang trip! Every area of the room was spotless, making our stay very comfortable. Layla provided exceptional service, even proactively offering tips for exploring the scenic area. The breakfast spread was extensive and delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised by the afternoon tea and late-night congee/supper options – truly thoughtful service. A few days after checking out, I realized I might have left some clothes in the lobby. I contacted Layla, and she quickly located them for us and promptly arranged for SF Express to ship them. So grateful! 🥹

This guesthouse is only 500 meters from the visitor center, making it super convenient to get to the scenic area. The room is equipped with an XiaoDu smart device, so you can control the curtains and lights with your voice – it's really easy and convenient to use. There's plenty of hot water all day long, so you can wash up and relax whenever you want. The room was spotless, even the corners were perfectly clean, making for a very comfortable stay. The housekeeper was incredibly thoughtful, always available when needed and very efficient. The afternoon tea included freshly cut watermelon and cantaloupe, which were sweet and refreshing. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. At check-out, you can even take away freshly ground, packed coffee, which was perfect for our journey. The service details were meticulously handled, making our stay relaxing and worry-free. If you're coming to Sayram Lake, I highly recommend this place!

Guest UserI highly recommend Atour Hotel Sailimu Lake! It's super close to Sailimu Lake, just a 5-minute drive from the new east gate, so the location is truly unbeatable. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the bedding is top-notch, guaranteeing a fantastic night's sleep. You can catch stunning lake view sunsets from both the hotel restaurant and library. Plus, they offer delightful perks like afternoon tea, late-night congee, snack bags, and even souvenirs, which were a pleasant surprise. The staff, including Xinyi, Yehuan, and Luyean, are genuinely friendly and provide excellent service. The environment is clean and peaceful. The breakfast is rich and delicious. Whether you're staying for a short stopover or a relaxing night, this is definitely the best accommodation option around Sailimu Lake.

Guest UserThis hotel is located in a newly developed area next to Sai Lake, so there's still a lot of construction happening around. It's not too far to drive to the scenic area entrance. The hotel environment is decent, and given its location by Sai Lake, prices are generally on the higher side, which is to be expected. They offer afternoon tea and coffee, along with dining options. You can even get the afternoon tea to go, and the food itself is pretty good, saving you the hassle of finding places to eat outside. The hotel is quite large and offers laundry service, which is very convenient. The rooms are new and in good condition.

Five-star review! The lady at the front desk is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly helpful; you can contact her anytime with any issues. The hotel owner, a handsome gentleman, is also very kind. We couldn't get a taxi, so he personally drove us to the scenic area for free. The hotel's location is great, surrounded by plenty of food options. Sayram Lake is breathtakingly beautiful; I'll definitely be back!

y3nch1ngWe 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.

Guest UserThis 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!

Guest UserWe made a last-minute decision to stay in a yurt. Our car took us to a place beyond the reach of navigation, with snow-capped mountains on one side, a pine forest to our left, and Sayram Lake behind us. My friends were thrilled, and we'll likely never forget a night like that. While the conditions were a bit rustic, without flush toilets or showering facilities, that was part of its charm – its raw, natural state. The owners, a Kazakh family, were incredibly genuine and kind-hearted. The lamb skewers were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh, and the braised lamb stew was equally delightful. Our whole group was utterly delighted, as we witnessed both stunning starry skies and breathtaking 'fiery cloud' sunsets. The next morning, we rode Akhal-Teke horses deep into the pine forest. There was no need to join the crowds at popular spots like 'Songshutou' (Pine Tree Head); it was simply breathtaking, making us cheer with joy, with vibrant yellow wildflowers everywhere. The trip couldn't have been more perfect, and I'm so grateful to have experienced the pastoral life of the nomads. After leaving through the East Gate for lunch, we spotted two young couples who had come for lunch based on our Dazhong Dianping review from the previous day. We enthusiastically gave them further recommendations. They were truly lucky to run into us enthusiastic middle-agers, haha! Thank heavens!

Special price room, exceeded expectations. It’s much better than living in Yunshang opposite ten days ago. It was beyond my expectation. The guy at the front desk was very enthusiastic. Because the hotel I stayed at the day before didn't send me the information and I didn't know the phone number, he checked again and again, got on the phone, helped me send me the information, and checked me in.
