To ensure the authenticity of the displayed ratings, we do not simply calculate an average. Instead, we take into account the review credibility and the date of the guest's stay to determine the final rating.
The hostel stuff is very kind and helpful. They would make sure that you have a pleasant stay. It is clean and tidy at all times. Location is only 10-15 minutes walking distance from places like Kucha temple and the kucha mansion. Only 1 hour driving distance from the Tianshan Grand Canyon which must be visited. Kizilya is also very close ny which both can be done in a day trip. Kucha is an essential part of Silk Road. The museum is also a must to visit. This is a good place to stay.

Amazing

This is a well located hostel in Kuqa. The price is really good and the facilities are nice. Free laundry and good kitchen. The best thing is the friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff and guests, every evening there is a nice atmosphere and everyone comes to eat and drink together
The bed was clean and comfy. The host made the place feel really warm and friendly — everyone could sit around the fire, chat, and get to know each other. He also helped us find taxis to explore nearby spots at a fair price. I really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely come back.
It's a really nice hostel, with spacious dorm rooms, a great social area, a well equipped kitchen and a rooftop terrace. I enjoyed my stay and had a good rest. Shops and local places to eat are close by. The owners are sweethearts. They are super nice, very helpful and want to make sure, that you have a good time there. Definitely recommend staying in this hostel!

Very nice new hostel with fantastic vibes. The couple who runs the hostel is amazing and very helpful.
Beds are comfortable. Big community zone, rooftop and kitchen. There are some restaurants and shops around. Cleanliness hopefully will be improved (however, also depending how messy guests are ;-)

The hostel is relatively new, located near the old town.
The rooms are clean, and I particularly appreciated the western-style toilet in the room. It was a significant plus for me after encountering many squat toilets in the region.
The common area is an open space, which can get a bit hot during the day depending on the season. The staff are very friendly and charming, creating a very welcoming atmosphere.

The location of this hotel is excellent, with convenient transportation and close proximity to the old city, within walking distance of the city's main attractions. The facilities are relatively new, and the interior ambiance reflects the residential style of the old city. The owner is also very welcoming and proactively provides information on nearby attractions and restaurants. I stayed there in mid-September. Kuqa city has strong ultraviolet rays, dry air, strong winds and sand, and poor air quality. My pharyngitis, which hadn't recurred in a while, felt like it was about to flare up. My roommate had a cat indoors, and it urinated on our suitcase. I only discovered this when I was packing to leave. It seems the room was only cleaned once during our three-day, two-night stay. This description is for future reference only.

The room is large, and the work area is also large. It's very clean, you can do laundry, and there's a large outdoor terrace. The people there are also very welcoming. The front desk staff are particularly nice and helpful, and they usually have shared meals. Very good.
It was a very happy experience. I chatted and drank with a group of strangers. I was very happy. Thank you for the hospitality. I highly recommend this youth hostel.

The hostel is in a great location, right next to Police Square, which even has a light show at night. The entire hostel is decorated with ethnic elements and is very beautiful. The facilities are all new, especially the bathroom, which has separate wet and dry areas for washing and bathing. The toilet seat automatically changes, which is a real plus!
