Privatzimmer in Heilongjiang, China

After taking 5 hours Journey on a 40 seater public bus that cost me 100 yuan i arrived at a beautiful homestay run by family, the homestay is the 1st at the entrance of the village. Room is comfortable with huge bed and heated bed and floor, eventhou the bed is just a thin mattress (its call a Kang Bed) but i still can sleep soundly every night. Only things need to change is the toilet because our toilet bowl is right at the center so i cant shower or use the basin (no space to stand)😀 They provide toothbrush and disposable face towel only so you have to bring your own towel and toiletries. Restaurant, reception counter and living room are together, this is a place for the owner and all guests to have meal and gathering. You will see them all day at the living room. We also have some activities such as making tanghulu (fruits coated with syrup), making dumpling and just chit chat eating popcorn and frozen persimmon and pear. Food is so yummy, no need to eat outside because you can order from this homestay. Breakfast is free. Its a simple and healthy- plain porridge, bun and pickles. The northern people are not so much into sugary or fancy drinks, even like tea or coffees. plain hot water is what they had most of the time. Lunch and dinner you can choose from their menu. Few activities you can do in town such as walk around town and enjoy the beautiful scenery like what i did, i also took the sleight horse (200 yuan) to go to the national forest and also stroll along the river for sightseeing. If u want to have ski, snow mobile, tubing there are 2 private own mini park that you can go just by walking distance 5-15 minutes. There is a bigger park Rime Ridge, also known as Wu Song Ling, is a place in Harbin, China where you can see rime and snow scenery, and participate in winter activities this will cost 400 yuan. At night there will be campfire and singing at the village. You can join for free. Go for a walk at night to see lots of villagers selling foods by the road side. I also enjoyed experimenting the ‘boiling water thrown into the sky’ ..beautiful effect from the ice steam. Most important please bring extra cash incase the alipay not working you will still have money. There is no bank or atm machine in the village. Its all solely depending on online payment such as allipay/wechat. I have problem with my alipay payment and I didn’t bring much cash so i cant spend so much at the village. The homestay owner knew about my problem so she worry i dont have enough money to eat so she cook meals for me FREE.. such a nice person. God bless her 🙏🏼 I wish to come again with my family, and i will stay here

Harbin Anshu Family Hotel has only 7 rooms and a family who look after the rooms and guests. Their services are just outstanding. I had a serious problem when i arrived as i had not had time in Beijing, where i was in transit from UK to Harbin, to get a phone SIM Card. Anshu Family Hotel took me to the China Mobile shop in Harbin and stayed with me until i got my card. They flatly refused payment for helping me even though it cost them a lot of time so i got them some grapes as a very small gift to say thankyou for helping me so kindly. The process took nearly two hours due to a complication on my UK phone number settings. However the staff at China Mobile were really good, the Anshu Family were just incredibly patient. They simply would not leave until i was fixed up and able to use my phone. I stayed for just under a week to go to see the major attractions in Harbin, a City with a totally unique identity in China due to its Russian and European Architecture. It is one of the most fascinating cities i have ever visited, Harbin Museum being quite astonishing in its variety and quality of Artifacts. It was the 16th Museum or Museum type building i have visited in China and one of the most enjoyable. This year was Harbins 26th Ice Show, with the Winter Games coming up soon. The Anshu Family Hotel is spot on location for both events, just a $3 taxi ride or Metro for just cents. The hotel has lots of shops, supermarkets, several food roads bristling with many many choices of meal. The Anshu Family make a very low charge for their rooms, in my opinion it could be far higher but they stick at their price. I had not asked for breakfast as i go out early to get to see as much as possible during my day sightseeing. The night before i left i asked them if they would get me a taxi for the morning to get my train. I was to get the taxi at 6.45am. At 5.50 a knock on the door and they came to give me three boiled eggs and a meat stew with noodles. Honestly no Hotel has treated me so kindly. I really recommend grabbing a room with Anshu most especially if you are going to the Ice Show or Winter games. It is a budget Hotel, so be aware of that, but I got a spotless sheet, cover duvet and i was as warm as toast room at night. The water shower is piping hot. Opposite the Hotel road is a huge Govt building as a landmark, i never had any problem finding it. There is a Bank of China two hundred metres from Anshu Family Hotel. Anshu, in my opinion must be one of the top deals on offer from Trip.com.

We love staying at Snow Village so much and decided to stay there for 4D3N. Chosen Xinfu Inn after long consideration. We are family of 6 with young kids so we prioritize a place where kids can enjoy playing snow to the fullest. The view was so nice. There is frozen river in front of the inn and a hill at the back of the inn with the snow slides made by the host with a nice landscaping. The host really helpful and treated us like their family-guest. Communication before the stay and during the stay was using WeChat and Google translate 😅. They helped to book bus from Harbin-Xuegu (Snow Village), pay direct to them (CN¥80 one way) using Alipay. They have 2 inns. The first room we booked was the new inn which around 800metres from the main inn. The new inn has modern kang bed and toilet but no play area and lawn to play snow, we have decided to move to the main inn and the host and hostess are happy to move us to the main inn. But the room in the main inn more traditional. The kang bed using old fashioned heating method - wood-burning-stove with bricks that retain the heat. It was very hot with just a layer of thick quilts. Feels like a hot sauna when laying on it. So we can't really sleep at night when the heat still ”fresh”, especially at the side of the bed where the wood is burned. If you sleep at the end of the bed it is much better. And for us personally with one layer of quilt the bed is so hard and not comfortable but it is good experience to live like the locals. The kids really love the snow slides built by the host at the back of the inn. Since we are Muslim, we informed the hostess to prepare food that we can eat - rice, eggs and tofu. The hostess all really understanding and always friendly and loves to play with the kids. The host helped took a nice picture of us with firework but we missed to have a picture playing hot water turned ice. The host helped to book a bus to Snow Town on the third day. Departed at 1pm and back to the Snow Village at 8pm. All the charted bus from Harbin or to Snow Town will come pickup at the front of the inn. Really convenient. We did not go to Wusonglin, instead we went to the local play area where we can play anytime anyday with only one time entrace fees. It just besides the new inn and there are skis, snowboard, snow mobile, ice skating and many mores. With kids, it is really recommended. We truly enjoyed staying at Xinfu inn and will come back in future maybe in other seasons to enjoy the view of the river.

I am Malaysian (Malay), travelled with family of 7 adult + 2 kids. Here’s my review: 1) Location: The location is called “Kaili Used Car Market” in Didi app. If you used the description that given in the booking detail by Tripcom, it might be quite confusing to book Didi or to tell the taxi driver the exact location. Hence, “Kaili used car market” is what you can search for in your Didi app. 2) The room: We booked the 3-bed apartment (comfy for 6 pax). The unit is a 2-floor unit, with only 1 bathroom located at the second floor. The first floor has a kitchen with big kitchen cabinet, sofa, a fridge, a square dining table and a double bed at the main hall. The second floor, got one room with a double bed inside and the hall at the second floor also has one doublebed. Heating are okay. Hot shower available. Washing machine available. 3) what you need to know: The area is around 10-15km distance from Central Street (Zhongyang street). The area is a car sale area, but the neighboorhood is full of things that you need. The buiding is a 10-floor apartment building .My mom and sis shop for fresh seafood for cooking and also bought some winter attire just by walking distance. Considering the price and what it offers, I think it is good enough. If you are travelling by Didi as main transport, this place should be fine . The railway station is quite far and you cant stand the cold weather outside for a walk to station. 4) Host: Host were nice. He waited for us until 3am-4am, and greeted us nicely. It just the language barrier truly crucial before check-in as he did not communicated using chat in Tripcom. The tripcom chat only run by AI assistance, and did not have any further details on check-in. The AI assistance keep asked us to call the host number, but the thing is the host cannot communicate in English and to make a call also requires international charge. The phone number provided also cant be found in wechat. Last choice we had was to contact him via SMS (also international charge required). Haha 😅 My suggestion is I hope the host can maintain the communication via Tripcom chat services to ease the checkin process for all international traveller. Thank you for the lovely and warm accomodation🤍 we love it 🤍 Rate my stay here 8.5/10 🤍🙏🏻

The guesthouse owner is very attentive and friendly. They gave you the feelings like you are staying at your own hometown. They are Muslim friendly as they prepared breakfast using seperate utensils and treat you like their own family. There is also Makanan Melayu menu that they prepared for Muslim if you want to eat for dinmer or lunch. The price is affordable. At the guesthouse, there is a poster of snow activities that you can do written in English translation. Just point to what do you want to do and the owner will directly arrange somebody to pick you up and drop off to the guesthouse again once activity is done. I did the ski playground activity and Wu Song Ling , both of the experience is very great. If you travel solo, then this guesthouse is perfect for you as they really caring and attentive to make sure you are safe and comfortable. I also got to eat frozen fruit given by the owner. No need to worry if you cannot speak chinese as the owner is equipped with translation devices. The owner can arrange the bus to come from Harbin City to Snow Valley, and also when you want to go back. The bus drop directly infront of the guesthouse with the owner already waiting to help with your luggage.

房間佈置精緻、採光好、視野佳，衞生狀況沒得説，乾淨，讓人入住無比放心房東貼心周到、溝通順暢、回覆信息也很及時，周邊交通極為便利，下次在來遊玩，必然選擇這酒店

Pros: 1. Very friendly and helpful host. She can speak English as well. Ready to assist anytime. We loved the attitude! 😍 2. Host helped to store our luggages at her house for 5 days during our road trip with charges but cheap. 3. Apartment is spacious with 2 super queen bed, clean and worth the price. There was aunty clean the apartment everyday. 4. There is washing machine (without dryer), so if you plan to wash the clothes, bring extra hanger and portable clothes line to dry the clothes. 5. Modern toilet bowl with bidet. Bath tub so big and nice but located outside of the bathroom at the dry and open area. So, a bit scared to use it in case we will wet the house. 6. There is aircond/heater in the house. The floor heated as well made the house it warm and so comfortable to walk around. We slept soundly, didn't even realize when it was snowing outside the building. Cons: 1. The building looks old and ran down. Inside the building was dirty and messy, not taken care of, not like inside the apartment. 2. People smoking inside the building and apartment next door. So the smells of the smokes travelled around, into our apartment. So annoying and suffocating. So we always kept the door closed and put something underneath the door to avoid the smell coming inside. Plus point: 1. There are few stalls opened in front of the building selling snacks - tanghulu, street foods and limited winter wear. 2. Baroque street 800m from the building, but too cold to walk there. So we just admired from afar 🥹 3. Zhongyang street only 1.5km from the apartment, we used Didi to avoid the cold weather. 3. Train station not far from the apartment but we never try as we used didi to move around. 4. There is halal restaurant not far from the apartment. Didn't get chance to try either, as we always back late and usually already ate. Fully recommended considering the kindness of the host and the apartment itself.

房間挺大的，離哈西站挺近，但是如果拉行李還是坐一站公交站吧，路不平，拉行李累。。自助入住，附近很多吃的，客運站也在附近，趕飛機很方便

Wir hatten einen sehr komfortabelen und glücklichen Aufenthalt im Qiuqu Donglai Inn. Es war viel günstiger als die anderen Unterkünfte in der Schneestadt, und überstieg unsere Erwartungen. Die Eigentümer und Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und geduldig, um die gesamte Hilfe, die wir während unseres Aufenthalts benötigten, zu bieten 😄 Vor der Reise war es auch leicht mit dem Besitzer über Wechat zu kommunizieren, da sie geduldig alle unsere Bedenken antwortete und uns sogar mehr Leitungen über unsere Reise dort lieferte. Sie half uns, die Mutliple-Auto- und Bus-Pick-Services in/von der Inn und/oder von Snow Town zu bedienen. Das machte unsere Planung sicherlich viel einfacher und bequemer, als wir unsere Tage nach den pick-up-/drop-off-Zeit planen konnten. Das Zimmer war außerdem sehr gemütlich mit nur 2 Etagen Zimmern, aber es war sauber und gemütlich, genau wie in den Bildern gezeigt. Die Kang heißen Betten waren komfortabel und das WC war außergewöhnlich sauber, mit einer Heizungseinheit und einem Toilettensitz. Wir könnten auch Lebensmittel aus dem QR-Code im Zimmer bestellen und unsere Mahlzeiten aus der Küche unten bereitet haben. Die Komfort und Qualität der Lebensmittel haben uns sicherlich beeindruckt. Für unsere Reise nach Snow Town hat der Besitzer uns Vorschläge für Aktivitäten gegeben, die wir versuchen könnten, und auch uns geholfen, das Aktivitätspaket zu einem günstigeren Preis zu buchen. Der Besitzer hat sogar einige kostenlose Aktivitäten für uns vorbereitet (Foto-Nehmen mit der traditionellen Jacke + Wasser splashing in Eis) aber es war ziemlich bedauerlich, da wir nicht Zeit finden konnten, es zu versuchen. Sie sollten es sicher versuchen, wenn Sie hier bleiben und die Zeit haben, das zu tun! Wir empfehlen dieses Inn für Komfort, Komfort und einen Frieden im Sinne von Snow Town. Dieses wird sicherlich unsere GO-to-accommodation sein, wenn wir für unseren nächsten Besuch zurück sind! 💯 *Bitte beachten Sie, dass einseitige Handtücher bereitgestellt werden, aber bringen Sie Ihre eigene Handtücher, wenn Sie mehr Komfort benötigen.

Mein bester Freund und ich entschieden uns für ein Vier-Personen-Zimmer im Nordosten mit beheiztem Kang. Obwohl wir ebenfalls aus dem Nordosten kommen, waren wir erstaunt, wie „schön“ es ist. Die großen roten Blumenvorhänge und das große grüne Blumenbeet waren für uns die besten Motive zum Fotografieren. Die Temperatur im Zimmer war angemessen, besonders wenn wir bis Mitternacht schliefen, wärmte das heiße Kang immer noch unseren unteren Rücken, was wirklich angenehm war. Die Toilette ist sauber und hat keinen Geruch. Der Service der Vermieterin war aufmerksam und enthusiastisch, und ihre Einstellung war wie eine Frühlingsbrise. Sie organisierte einen Fahrer, der uns am Flughafen abholte, zeigte uns die Reiseroute, arrangierte eine angemessene Reisezeit für uns und sorgte für ein kostenloses Frühstück hat meine Schwestern sehr glücklich gemacht. Ich freue mich darauf, nächsten Juni wieder ins Arctic Village zu kommen!
