I spent the weekend with family and friends visiting the Desert Herdsman Homestay, and the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended! The courtyard landscaping is very tasteful, with an exquisite and elegant Chinese-style welcoming pine tree. Sitting in the private courtyard, enjoying tea and conversation is incredibly relaxing. The outdoor barbecue area is well-planned, with tables suitable for small gatherings, a large canopy with a rainproof roof for team building meals, and a full range of commercial grills, making it convenient for self-service grilling skewers and roasting whole lamb. The elevated camping platform under the trees offers shade from the native forest, decorated with Mongolian patterns that add a local touch, creating a fantastic tent camping atmosphere. The owner cleverly uses the well house as a popular photo spot, with auspicious text and koi fish decorations, resulting in excellent photos. Nestled in the countryside, backed by cornfields and protective forests, the environment is quiet and free from urban noise, with low light pollution at night, allowing for clear stargazing. The venue is well-maintained, with gravel paving and hardened floors that are both aesthetically pleasing and fireproof and drainage-resistant. The owner is warm and welcoming, and food and equipment can be booked in advance. It's suitable for short trips to the suburbs, family gatherings, company team building, and camping stays. It's a rare gem of a rural homestay in the Dalate Banner area, with an elegant and pristine environment, thoughtfully designed photo spots, and attentive service. It's suitable for team building and family trips. The hygiene details are handled meticulously, making it a worry-free experience. Every facility and room is newly renovated, with coordinated colors for the bedding and curtains. The rooms are clean, bright, and comfortable, and quiet, perfect for relaxation.

QingfenghanxueluoyuyunOverall it is OK. The special room I lived in was very large and spacious. The bedding was also changed for each guest (because the cover was wet when we checked in, it proved to be just changed).
The front desk service is also very enthusiastic and needs to be solved in time. It is also very convenient to eat nearby. The only downside is that the air conditioner is also cooling and the noise is quite loud. The bath water is also hot and cold. But it does not affect the accommodation.

Coop84Very clean and comfortable hotel. Warm welcome and excellent service from the staff. My car even got windscreen wash out inside before I left the next day!
Delicious afternoon tea snacks and a very good breakfast selection. My bed was big and comfortable. The shower had reusable products which smelt amazing! The seating in the room was very stylish and comfortable.
There was a convenience store next door too.
Would recommend if you are in the area!

Guest UserSuper close to Xiangshawan, making travel a breeze.
The whole place was clean and tidy, with excellent facilities – I slept incredibly well.
The owner is a gem and also the chef; the roasted lamb chops are a must-try!
You can even go off-roading and sand-sliding in the uninhabited desert.
The courtyard offers parking, a place to dry clothes, and is pet-friendly.
In the evening, [the original review cuts off here, but usually, this would be followed by an activity or observation about the evening].

The shower was small, and the room wasn't big either. I was thinking the cleanliness would be acceptable, but then there was a wet towel left under the sink... To make matters worse, there was a municipal power outage. The room was right next to the stairs, and there was a lot of noise from people carrying luggage downstairs early in the morning. The room wasn't soundproof either. The air conditioner didn't work either. The worst part was that I thought I could at least get some sleep even if it was noisy, but then the power came back on, and the TV automatically turned on again. I turned off the TV, and then the power went out again, then came back on, and the TV turned on again, then went out again. I was completely unable to sleep. Because of the power outage, there was no food for breakfast, and I had to use two candles to keep the other things warm. How could they even charge for breakfast? Breakfast was listed as an extra charge when I booked the room. While the municipal power outage is unavoidable, it definitely affected the experience. I specifically chose a new hotel, and the entrance was hard to find. Three cars behind us all went to the wrong entrance.

Facilities: The decoration is very new, the room is very small, how can the Dyson hair dryer be displayed on the platform? It is actually an ordinary brand. There are many rooms, but there is only one elevator. The laundry room is on the third floor, with two drum washing machines and two dryers. It shows that this is a four-star hotel, it feels better than Hanting, not as good as the whole season Atour, it is a Samsung hotel to me to score.
Environment: There are a lot of mosquitoes on the first floor, and mosquitoes follow them into the elevator.
Service: The service is generally average. There are many guests staying in the room, the restaurant is not big, and the breakfast replenishment speed is a bit slow. Mongolian milk tea in breakfast, fried dough sticks are delicious.
There is a supermarket and several specialty shops around, and there are several charging piles in the parking lot at the entrance.

Couldn’t be any closer to the Kubuqi Desert! Such a great view from our cabin - we were very lucky. Within seconds you are standing on the sand.
The team picked us up from the tourist station, helped us settle into the room and helped us buy attraction tickets (with discount). They couldn’t have been more accommodating - especially as we had to do everything by translation apps.
We had a fun afternoon at the park next door - it’s not thrilling and aimed more at families - but it’s an enjoyable thing to do.
In the evening we ate in their restaurant, lots of choice and food was tasty.
The rooms were spacious, clean, modern and comfortable. We watched the sunset and sunrise, and enjoyed a noisy thunderstorm in the middle of the night.
Shower is hot and powerful.
Breakfast was a small buffet option, and tasty.
Some things to note - a kettle is provided in the room but no tea or coffee. There is also no fridge. They also only provide one use disposal towels - a proper towel would have been a better experience, especially as you need more than one shower for an overnight stay.
Would recommend staying here - we had as close to a desert experience as you can with a touch of luxury.
The staff made the experience even better!

The facilities are new with no musty smell, and the toiletries are high quality. My stay was incredibly comfortable.

Simply unforgettable! Yilisha Resort is a dream carved right into the desert.
You could not ask for a better location at any price; this resort sits in the heart of the magic with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that frame the desert, the nearby attractions, and sunsets so spectacular they feel otherworldly. We spent hours just gazing out, completely mesmerised.
Our room was exquisite: spacious, beautifully designed, and crafted to showcase those magical views. Every detail—from the plush bedding to the thoughtful layout—made it hard to even think about leaving.
The staff were exceptional, treating us with a warmth and care that felt genuinely heartfelt. Every request was met with a smile, and we never once felt like anything was too much trouble.
Breakfast was a delight in its own right, featuring a comforting spread of traditional Chinese dishes that gave us the perfect start to each day.
Yilisha isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a memory etched in gold, the kind of experience that lives rent-free in your mind long after you’ve left. China’s natural beauty is breathtaking, but this resort amplifies that grandeur and turns an already incredible landscape into pure magic. If we return to this region, there is no question: we will rebook in a heartbeat.
