"The best aspect of this stay was by far the owner. He was incredibly, incredibly helpful and friendly — from the moment I walked in the door he offered me a cup of tea, then provided tea and bread the next morning for breakfast, offered advice on what to see in the area, arranged a car to take me to Dalzong Lake, and finally even found me a spot on a local minibus going to my next destination. I couldn’t have done half the things I did during my stay in Xiahe without his advice and efforts on my behalf, so that alone made staying here fully worthwhile! It’s worth mentioning that the guesthouse’s architecture is also absolutely beautiful, and everything looks quite new. It’s located down a quiet side alley off of one of the main commercial streets in town, which seems like the ideal placement. On the accommodations: I stayed in one of the two tents erected on the second floor of the guesthouse. This was largely quite a good experience! The bed was very comfortable (with a heated pad), water and towels provided, etc. The tents are not in a closed-off area, but rather on the second floor/balcony area that also is used for sitting, serving tea, etc., so privacy is somewhat limited, but the whole guesthouse is relatively quiet anyway so it doesn’t feel like a public space. My only suggestions for improvement would be related to the bathroom: during my stay, the shared bathroom for the tents was a sort of temporary-style booth installed in the corner of the room with a toilet, sink, and showerhead. The bathroom was very clean and everything inside worked well, but its sliding door separated from the wall enough that there was always a substantial enough space on one side or the other that could be seen through (the door also didn’t lock and slid back and forth easily). The booth was also small enough that, realistically, I think it would be a bit of a challenge to actually use it to shower. If possible it might be worth looking into some simple fixes to improve these situations, but otherwise I have no complaints!"

"Minulla oli ihana oleskelu ******* Perhe Labrangissa. Isäntä on fantastinen – hän puhuu hyvää englantia, järjestää siirtoja, ja jopa tuli hakemaan minut asemalta. Sijainti on erinomainen, vain lyhyen kävelymatkan luostarista ja hiljaisesta sisäänkäynnistä pois väkijoukoista. Hän antaa paljon hyödyllisiä neuvoja, ja huoneet ovat puhtaita ja lämmintä, jopa kesäkauden. aamiainen on yksinkertainen mutta hyvä. Kaikki oli positiivinen – isäntä todella tekee paikan erityistä"

"Kaunis kotimajoitus, huone on mukava, sänky ja keittiöt ovat mukavia, se oli yleisesti melko puhdas, mutta hiukset unohdettiin suihkussa, ei suuria. Henkilökunta oli mukava ja apukas. He lainasivat meille parannuskeinon, jotta pääsemme ulos sateessa. Sijainti ei ole liian kaukana Labrang luostarin, mutta hieman kaukana kaupungin keskusta ja paikka kaikki ravintoloita."

"- Hyvä isäntä!  Sijainti on lähellä labrang ja Main Street, mutta on hyvin rauhallinen. Rakastamme viehätys talon ja isäntä vieraanvaraisuutta.  Vieraille ei ole pyyhkeitä."

"The hotel is clean and the location is perfect. Near Labrang monastery and restaurants."

"The boss is a young couple who are very enthusiastic about introducing nearby attractions and food. They also find us a good parking space. The hotel facilities have everything. Very unique Tibetan-style homestay. There are disposable toilet sets and custom-made toothbrushes and combs. Breakfast is also made by the boss himself. It’s not easy to be busy. I will stay at their house next time."

"Probably the largest hotel in Xiahe. It's a short walk to Labrang Monastery. There's no air conditioning, which might be because it doesn't get hot here in the summer. They said they had floor heating, but it wasn't turn-on yet when we checked in, and it got a bit chilly after the rain. The hotel has a restaurant, and you can order dinner, though I found it a bit pricey – I guess that's common for tourist spots. Breakfast was decent, and the cleanliness was acceptable. Overall, I didn't feel like there were any major downsides."

"Ystävälliset vieraat, hyvä kahvia. Lisäksi antoi meille hyvää neuvoa aamiaista naapurustossa"

"The price/performance ratio is very low, very low... It took half an hour to eat a meal, and the hygiene is also average. There are no screens in the accommodation, the water is extremely unstable and scarce, and it is hot and cold. The scenery outside is okay."
