For the vast majority of travelers, Bole Alashankou Airport (BPL) is the only practical gateway, as it is the only airport located within the city itself. It provides the most efficient and cost-effective access to downtown Bole. The other options serve neighboring cities and require significant land travel. Ili Yining International Airport (YIN) serves the city of Yining and is a popular secondary entry point for those exploring the wider Ili region, though it necessitates a multi-hour journey to reach Bole. Xinyuan Nalati Airport (NLT) is located in the town of Xinyuan and primarily caters to visitors of the Nalati Grasslands rather than travelers bound for Bole. Finally, Usharal Airport (USJ) is an international facility situated in the Alakol District of Kazakhstan, serving as a remote transit point that involves lengthy cross-border ground transfers. Travelers are advised to prioritize BPL to avoid exhausting ground logistics unless their itinerary specifically includes destinations in neighboring regions.

Bole|5.04km from city center
Facilities: Basic facilities are OK, but there are two points: First, the charging socket is really weird. The business may think that guests generally don't have many charging devices. There is no charging device on the table, only one under the table; there is only one on the side of the bed. The business considerately considers that the guests need to go to bed early after a day of playing. Second, the underground parking lot is like post-war Iraq, with few lights. The hotel does not have breakfast, but the 24-hour beef noodle restaurant on the corner has a unique pickled cabbage noodles.
Hygiene: The basic hygiene of the hotel is OK
Environment: The hotel is in the center of Bole City, and the surrounding facilities are complete. Bole Municipal Inves**ent is huge, and it is built like a tourist city, clean and tidy.
Service: As an economy hotel, the service response is in place. The air conditioner in the room I just checked in was broken, and I was immediately changed to another room. But I asked the floor attendant for a toothpick and was told that there was none 😂FromUS$23

The room was high-end and the atmosphere was high-grade. I forgot to take pictures. At that time, I placed the order wrongly. I modified the family room. After arriving at the room, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a suite. The front hall was 1.2 meters bed, and the back was 1.2 and a 1.8 meter bed. It can accommodate four people, and there is a small billiard table. The windows are large and you can see the fire in the afternoon. Breakfast is also very rich, it is recommendedFromUS$33

There is a yard for parking. The breakfast area is not big but the dishes are very good. The staff is enthusiastic. The room decoration has many functional areas. It is the first time I have encountered such functional design. It is beyond imagination. I ate at the restaurant of the Internet celebrity hotel, but I stayed at the Hilton. It was indeed the right choice.FromUS$55

The first hotel in Bole that is very dog friendly ～ really love it, the environment is very clean ～ This hotel is really a treasure hotel. Unlike other hotel front desks, the residents may be asked to give a good review, but this is really true. After two days of staying, I suddenly thought that I forgot to give a good review. Then immediately take the phone to give praise ～

This stay at Boleyu Qiang Hotel was really great!
Let’s talk about hygiene first. As soon as you enter the room, you feel very fresh and clean. There were no stains on the bed, the pillows and quilts smelled good, there were no water stains or odors in the bathroom, and the toiletries were neatly placed. Even the corners are kept spotless, and you can tell that real effort has been put into it.
Let’s talk about the service, it’s really too good to say anything about. The staff at the front desk were very enthusiastic and efficient when checking in. They also introduced me to the surrounding food and attractions thoughtfully. Once there was a small problem with the lights in my room, so I called customer service. The maintenance staff came shortly after. They were very kind and fixed it quickly. When I meet the staff in the corridor, they will greet me with a smile, which makes me feel very good.FromUS$22

The B&B room is fully equipped with all the standard hotel amenities. The large floor-to-ceiling window faces the commercial street, and there are many restaurants nearby, making it super convenient to find food. It's a shame I didn't take actual photos of the room, but overall, the stay was comfortable, and it offers excellent value for money. I genuinely recommend it!FromUS$116

Sayram Lake/Swan Playing in Water Bole|58.14km from city center
This is the guesthouse I booked when I went to Sayram Lake with my parents. The environment exceeded my expectations, and my parents were very satisfied. The location was easy to find, parking was convenient, and there were guesthouses all around. I was also quite lucky; we even caught a party event in the square next door, with thousands of people having a bonfire and dancing – it was so much fun! We booked a triple room, with each person having their own bed, and the beds were very comfortable. The owner and the receptionist were very friendly and even helped with our luggage – thumbs up! 👍 After comparing several places, I think this one was great value for money! Unfortunately, we got back too late yesterday and just video chatted with my friends, so I didn't take any pictures.FromUS$84

This is the most comfortable LI CHENG Hotel I've ever stayed in, and the experience was superb! 👍🏻 The front desk staff, Ah Lai, helped upgrade my room. The hotel is right next to the east gate tourist center of Sailimu Lake, and it's a 3-minute drive directly to the lakeside. This means no need to travel back and forth to the city. It's super convenient for catching the sunrise early in the morning and chasing the sunset's 'golden mountain' in the evening. The hotel also has a large free parking lot, so self-driving tourists don't have to worry about parking at all.
Highly recommended! 👍🏻FromUS$126

Facilities: The hotel's hand soap, shower gel, and shampoo were all of good quality. They provided a travel-sized pair of toothbrushes and enough toothpaste for half a month. The drinking cups were individually wrapped in plastic, making them convenient to take on the road. The attention to detail in the amenities for travelers was impressive.
Right in the hotel lobby, there's a self-service machine to buy Sayram Lake tickets. The hotel is located just behind the Old East Gate, and it's very convenient to drive to the New East Gate area for dining. After staying a few days, I no longer needed navigation to get to and from the lake for meals.
Room: The duplex room had two bathrooms, one on each floor. The bedding was excellent, and I slept very comfortably with the two types of pillows provided. On the fourth floor, there's a platform that gets plenty of sunlight and is very quiet, offering lake views. The laundry room on the basement level had relatively new and clean ironing facilities.
The hotel also has a campsite within the 'Dianjiangtai' area. I even borrowed the hotel's kettle to make coffee and watch the sunset by the lake, which was very satisfying. In July, during Xinjiang's peak season, hotels are fully booked. Many hotels priced between 1500-2000 on Ctrip often receive average reviews for their accommodation experience. This hotel was recommended by Ctrip's itinerary planner, Yan Yan, and I personally feel that the amenities are five-star+ with a great personalized butler service experience.
The yogurt at the hotel breakfast was delicious!FromUS$220

My husband and I booked a hotel on a whim today. We were exhausted after arriving at Sayram Lake, and we were planning to rest for a while before heading into the scenic area. But the hotel surprised us with such a wonderful experience! We booked a Lake View King Room, and the view of Sayram Lake was breathtaking from the moment we entered the room. It was truly excellent value for money! [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up]FromUS$190

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.FromUS$219

I absolutely have to give the Indigo Hotel Sayram Lake a perfect five stars! This stay at Sayram Lake far exceeded my expectations, and I can't help but rave about it! First, a special thank you to Hans at the front desk. Check-in was incredibly efficient; he even helped us with our large luggage and patiently explained all the hotel's facilities. His gentle yet professional attitude instantly relieved most of our travel fatigue, making a huge positive impression! At check-out, we met the manager, Maggie, who was incredibly welcoming. She not only patiently helped us with the check-out process but also showed us the hotel's unique landscape design and offered thoughtful suggestions for nearby attractions, making us feel truly warm and welcome. As for the room, we stayed in a mountain view room, with a breathtaking and soothing view of the snow-capped mountains right outside the window. The room facilities were new, the bedding was soft and comfortable, the toiletries were of high quality, and the entire room was clean and tidy, making for a very relaxing and comfortable stay – truly meeting the standards of a high-end resort hotel. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Sayram Lake. The service and facilities are impeccable, and I'll definitely choose it again next time!FromUS$305
