Extremely satisfied! The amenities kit even included sunscreen, and they proactively provided kids' shoes and toiletries when they saw I had children. The bottled water was also a good brand (Yibao). But the absolute highlight was the Chinese restaurant! It was seriously delicious! My only minor complaint is that it's a bit of a walk from the lobby, going around here and there. I'd suggest just entering directly from the restaurant's main entrance. They have specialty dishes from Dunhuang, and it's clean, hygienic, and has a great atmosphere. Definitely skip the night market; it was such a disappointment. I really regret not eating at the hotel restaurant more often instead of searching for food outside. It's unlikely I'll have the chance to go back and enjoy it again.

The location is fantastic! The shuttle from Mingsha Mountain to the city center stops right outside the hotel, making everything super convenient. It's truly right by the night market, and just a short walk to the famous 'fancy' restroom photo op. The service was excellent and communication was smooth. They helped us upgrade to a room with a view of Mingsha Mountain and even offered breakfast delivered to the room, though we had an early train and couldn't enjoy it the next day. Next time, I'll definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends. Our one-day trip to Mogao Grottoes and Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring was incredibly fulfilling and wonderful. We visited 20 grottoes in one day, ate the famous Jingyuan Galu hand-grabbed mutton, went to Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring, watched the sunset, and saw the night lights and the Big Dipper. There was absolutely enough time to enjoy everything. Plus, there's a bus stop right by the hotel – the experience was really great! My only regret is not staying longer in Dunhuang. I'll definitely be back.

Highly recommend the Earth-Built Hotel! The room styles are unique, making for a warm and cozy stay. The hygiene is top-notch, with every detail sparkling clean. Their beverages are great too; the pour-over coffee is aromatic, and the teas are authentic. The staff provides thoughtful and genuine service, very friendly without being overbearing. It was a truly relaxing stay, and the price is reasonable. Whether it's for a short getaway or a stopover, it's an excellent choice and a perfect spot for photos. Definitely worth a return visit!

I booked a basic room, and luckily, there were still rooms available that day, so the butler upgraded me. The tent is really picturesque for photos. The good mood I got upon entering the room compelled me to write a review about the butler!
Before check-in, the butler proactively contacted me, informing me that the room included one fixed-point airport transfer. They also told me about the weather, helped me plan my itinerary and offered travel advice, and even recommended Dunhuang Print Shop for a visit.
During my stay, the butler always responded instantly (except when they were picking up/dropping off guests, which I totally understand if replies were a bit slower). Even when I returned very late at night, a butler was still there. The front desk also left a phone number. I talk a lot and can be long-winded, haha, but they patiently answered all my questions. Huge thanks to the Shazhou Wild Luxury Camp butler team for making a solo female traveler feel so welcome and cared for. I will definitely be back next summer. I highly recommend it to every young lady looking for quality and experience – come and enjoy!
Our stay at Colorful Danxia Flower House Hotel was truly exceptional—easily a 5-star experience. From the moment we arrived, the owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even personally helping us carry our luggage upstairs. His hospitality didn’t stop there—he kindly assisted us in booking tickets for a local show and even drove us there himself, which made our trip so much more convenient and enjoyable.
The room was spotless, one of the cleanest we’ve stayed in, and it was clear that great care is taken to maintain high standards. We also really appreciated the free laundry service, which was incredibly helpful during our travels.
The location is perfect—just a short walking distance to the west entrance of the Danxia park, making it easy to explore. Right across the hotel is a fantastic restaurant, so finding great food was effortless.
To top it all off, the owner even prepared thoughtful departing gifts for us, which was such a warm and memorable touch. His kindness and attentiveness truly set this place apart. If you’re visiting the area, this hotel is an outstanding choice.
The room was great and the hotel's location was good, with warm and attentive service. The only downside was that the breakfast selection was very limited and not tasty at all. Perhaps it's due to limited resources here or the taste just didn't suit me.

I think, apart from the little hiccup with the dining, this hotel is highly recommendable in all other aspects. The booking included a hot pot set meal with beef shabu-shabu for dinner, which was probably worth around 300 RMB. The dining staff, however, definitely need to improve their service; they were too arrogant. I hadn't paid close attention to the menu before, specifically the discrepancy between the listed meat dishes and what was actually served. Since the hot pot seemed to have very few meat options, I ordered an 88 RMB plate of lamb dumplings, which was tiny, only 24 pieces? It was then that I thought to check the dishes, and I realized that the food served was inconsistent with what was listed in the order, and they hadn't even informed us (it was called a 'beef shabu-shabu hot pot,' but there was no beef shabu-shabu or yak meat duck feet that were supposed to be in the set meal). There was also no fruit platter and no juice. When we discovered this and asked the server, she said they just provide whatever is available in the restaurant at the time. She then offered to send us a plate of fruit, to which I replied that a fruit platter was included in the set meal. That's when the server dropped a classic line: ”What's listed on the menu isn't necessarily what we have to provide!” I asked, ”Then what's the point of having the set meal contents written in the agreement?” Finally, I asked her if she could take responsibility for what she was saying, and if she needed to consult her manager. Only after a lot of back and forth, and me fighting for my rights, did they finally appease us with a portion of lamb. Honestly, that 88 RMB dumpling dish was a rip-off, and the hot pot set meal being different was also a rip-off. The way they responded when I tried to claim my rights was also terrible. Luckily, I asked her if she could be held accountable for her words, which helped me salvage my legitimate rights. I think, apart from the dining incident, this hotel is highly recommendable in all other aspects.

Honestly, when you come to Dunhuang, there's no need to rush from one attraction to another every single day! This time, I deliberately chose this guesthouse tucked away in a village, mainly to slow down, relax, and just chill. The overall experience was really therapeutic, but there are a few honest critiques I want to share to help future visitors.
First, let's talk about the major positives! The location truly exceeded my expectations. It's not in the bustling city center; instead, it's hidden in a village, completely avoiding the crowds and traffic of the city. It's peaceful and quiet, not noisy at all, setting the perfect mood for a relaxed vacation. It's also not far from Mingsha Mountain and Mogao Grottoes, and taxis are readily available whenever you step out, making it super convenient to get to attractions without having to wake up early or squeeze onto a crowded bus.
The value for money for accommodation is also great. For around 300 RMB per person, you can stay in a courtyard room with two large beds, offering excellent privacy. It's really pleasant to sit in your private little courtyard and have afternoon tea. I have to praise the memory foam pillows provided; they're just the right balance of soft and firm, ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of traveling – a huge plus point!
The guesthouse itself has an Instagram-worthy cafe. The freshly ground coffee is excellent. There are several spots for afternoon tea, including a sandy area, a pool, and an orchard. Sipping coffee and taking photos with the cool breeze from the desert makes every shot look like a professional, atmospheric photo, instantly bringing a sense of relaxation. In the evening, there's also a stargazing platform. Far from city lights, you can look up and see a sky full of stars, instantly melting away all your travel fatigue. You don't have to worry about food either. While there aren't many restaurants within walking distance, the guesthouse can arrange customized local specialty meals. Having a BBQ or hotpot in the courtyard feels so special. If you don't feel like moving, delivery services for takeout are also very fast, perfectly satisfying any lazy traveler.
Now, for a few honest minor complaints – consider these if you're particular:
Since it's in a village, there aren't many shops along the street nearby, so it's not very convenient to just go out for a casual stroll, snack, or buy groceries. However, anything you need can be ordered for delivery.
The temperature difference between morning and evening is significant, and it can get quite windy in the courtyard. Remember to bring a light jacket if you plan to have outdoor afternoon tea.
Overall, the pros outweigh the cons. This place is perfect for those who don't like rushing from one attraction to another, prefer peace and quiet, and are looking for atmosphere, healing, and a truly relaxing and laid-back vacation.
Perfect location for visiting the Rainbow Mountains, with the western entrance in walking distance. The exceptionally friendly reception also recommended scenic spots in the area, and we were able to borrow traditional clothing for our photo shoot free of charge. The overnight stay in a heated yurt was very comfortable, with shower and toilet facilities within easy reach. The breakfast was excellent and varied; even our demanding children gave it two thumbs up.

The room is clean and comfortable, with a small balcony. The daily necessities are of good quality and taste. There is also eight-treasure tea and a foot bath bucket. The breakfast is very good-looking and tastes good, which makes people feel good when they wake up in the morning. The overall decoration is very sunny. There are also souvenirs for sale. The price is right and the quality is good. The two beauties have good temperament and are gentle and kind. In short, they deserve my careful review!

We stayed at the hotel in late 2025.3 Everything exceeded our expectations. When I book, it seems the location outside the city is a drawback of this hotel, which is compensated by a free pickup. But for a sightseeing trip in ZhangYe and with services the hotel has to offer, the location doesn't matter at all. Not to mention that the hotel's car+driver offer is quite competitive compared to what we have pre-booked. ###Room###: The room was spacious with comfortable beds and lots of amenities. WiFi speed is decent. There is also a public washing & drying machine, where the maid offered to wash our clothes. ###Restaurant###: The breakfast was plenty. The dinner offer a wide variety of local and standard dishes at an accpetable price. We got a free decent late night snack/dessert (with milk for children) delivered to the room at night. ###Staff###: The staff was very attentive. It started with the driver waiting at the train staion exit. Then we were greeted at the hotel by a staff with a good command of English. The staff has good knowledge of sightseeing spots in ZY. At dinner, the staffs made their best to help us understand the menu, patiently expained the food choices, as well as help estimate how much food we should order. (We are traveling with 2 children.) When we arrive back at the hotel in the evening, they enthusiasticly offered to help carry our stuffs. Tips are not expected nor accepted. If I have to comment, a moisturizing lotion and extra blankets in the room would help when the weather is cold. This hotel will definitely be my first choice if we ever come to Zhangye again.
I chose Hailian Hotel without caring about the rating. Dunhuang is not a big city, and it is not expensive to take a taxi anywhere. The hotel opened in 2023. The room is large and it is very quiet to sleep at night. Traveling is very hard, and you can take a bath to relieve fatigue. The service is very thoughtful, free breakfast, free station pick-up, as long as there is any request, they can help solve it.
Excellent place to stay in Dunhuang! Room is big but cozy and decoration is exquisite. Breakfast is hearty and you can have sparkling wine early morning 😀 Price is on the high side but hotel made up for it with top notch services! At night they have several cultural activities in offer. I was able to join 2 of them and it was pretty fun! Plus they have me free cocktail on my last night there. Two thumbs up 👍👍

I can't praise Qiao Hongli and the family enough for their welcome and support. The lady of the house walked me to the West Gate entrance to the Rainbow Mountains. The hotel then organised tickets to 2 night shows and the Binggou Danxia. Perhaps the highlight was a tour of the Extraterrestrial Canyon, which Hongli took me on. He took concern for my aged knees! The many kindnesses which Hongli and his family showed to me made it a wonderful 3 day trip. Xiexie.
