Its alright. The rooms are nice, but the toilet is in very bad shape. Probably will still choose this stay as its quiet, bht the toilet will definitely need some upgrade.

A perfect stay experience beyond expectations! Must give five-star praise! Every detail makes people feel the thoughtful service and quality. The room was bright and spacious and spotlessly clean. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the front desk reception is warm and professional. Room service is responsive and patiently handles any request, no matter how big or small. Special thanks to the housekeeper Xiao Li, who took the initiative to recommend nearby food and scenic spots and provided thoughtful service. Feel the starry sky in the desert, the best place to stay for the scenery outside the Great Wall

This trip to the desert, the experience of staying at Shizhisha Desert B&B was amazing! I couldn't find the way, and the driver arranged by the homestay was very convenient and the service was warm and thoughtful. The room is air-conditioned and very comfortable. The food in the restaurant is super delicious! The bonfire party at night was very lively and the feeling of dancing in the sand was amazing. You can watch the sunset when you check in, eat barbecue, watch the fireworks, and wait for the starry sky quietly. It's a perfect day! There are many entertainment activities around, desert camels, sand sliding, and off-road surfing are all very exciting, really satisfying!

When traveling to Zhongwei, it was a wise decision to choose Shizhisha Desert B&B! The staff contacted us in advance to inform us of the parking lot location and also thoughtfully turned on the air conditioner. The room is very large, like a two-bedroom and one-living room, with complete facilities. The children love the swing and giraffe chair inside. The bathroom is spacious and the shower is comfortable. The B&B provides breakfast and dinner, as well as pick-up and drop-off services, and a rich variety of dining options. I missed breakfast and they still helped me pack it up. How heartwarming! It is close to the Tengger Project Area, about ten minutes’ walk away. You can enjoy a lot of activities by buying a package. The bonfire party at night is super exciting, and there are fireworks and star classes. The desert hiking study in the morning is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

The boss is very friendly and enthusiastic, just like family. , we will answer all your questions and actively share local fun facts and treasures. Here, I felt the meticulous care and attention, and my body and mind were greatly relaxed. Even in the desert, the facilities in the room are not inferior to those in a five-star hotel. It is super clean and comfortable. It is really a pleasant surprise during the trip. I highly recommend it to everyone.
