Hotel Mountain view di Harbin

Ini adalah penginapan homestay yang paling membuat saya rasa seperti di rumah sendiri sepanjang perjalanan saya setakat ini. Apabila saya tiba di Xuegu, pemilik dan isterinya datang menjemput saya dari homestay. Setelah penat dalam perjalanan, mereka juga menghidangkan ladu, pir beku, dan kesemak beku untuk saya makan, saya sangat terharu hingga menangis, ladu itu sangat sedap pula! Sepanjang perjalanan seterusnya, pemilik membantu menempah tiket, sama ada untuk menempah kenderaan atau mendaki Bear Ridge. Selepas mendaki Bear Ridge, pemilik juga membantu mengambil gambar dengan dron. Pada malam Krismas, ada acara istimewa iaitu pertunjukan bunga api, sungguh mesra dan indah. Saya juga bermain 'air beku'. Apabila saya kehilangan barang, isteri pemilik juga membantu menghantarnya kembali, sungguh menyentuh hati. Saya pasti akan mengesyorkan tempat ini kepada keluarga dan rakan-rakan!

Pemilik sekeluarga sangat mesra seperti keluarga sendiri, sentiasa sedia menjawab sebarang pertanyaan. Bilik dihias dengan ***a Timur Laut yang unik, selesa dan elegan. Pemanas lantai sangat berkesan, jadi orang dari selatan tidak perlu risau tentang kesejukan. Lokasi homestay ini sunyi dan tenang, tetapi sangat dekat dengan kawasan pelancongan utama, jadi kami boleh pulang untuk berehat bila-bila masa kami letih. Pir beku dan kesemak beku percuma, perkhidmatan bawa bagasi yang prihatin, dan masakan rumah yang sangat lazat – setiap butiran membuatkan hati kami berasa hangat. Saya sudah mengesyorkannya kepada rakan-rakan yang akan melawat Snow Town!

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.

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.

The bosses are very friendly and fetched and send us from the yabulixi train station. Upon arrival to the homestay, lady boss free upgrade to a beautiful bigger room for us! I have been communicating with lady boss via WeChat xyxms999 before arrival and she helped us planned the full 5 days 4 nights itinerary including to horse ride, snow play, ski and xuexiang! They literally drive us around to and fro around by their chauffeur. We ordered TB and they help us pick up our stuff too They serve daily breakfast too The room is very new and is exactly as per the photos and housekeeping is awesome The bosses own a restaurant next door and serve super yummy authentic dong bei food that we had our dinner there every night! And they are so nice to give us a discount of the food… Even though this is a homestay but we feel that the service they offer was far so much better than a hotel. They have their big snow area with their own snow play with snow bike and snow car and snow slide and swing too Also they help us buy discounts tickets to all places of interest as well as loan ski gear at a discounted price too… My girls loved it so much that they wanted to go back again!

Dari saat saya membuat tempahan, saya merasakan profesionalisme dan semangat mereka. Kakitangan segera membalas mesej dan menjawab pelbagai soalan, menjadikan proses tempahan sangat lancar. Apabila tiba di B&B, mereka mengambil inisiatif untuk membantu membawa bagasi Sepanjang penginapan, perkhidmatannya lebih teliti. Bilik itu dibersihkan dengan bersih setiap hari dan peralatan tempat tidur dibuat dengan kemas. Jika anda mempunyai sebarang keperluan khas, tanya pemiliknya dan mereka akan sentiasa mencuba yang terbaik untuk menampungnya. Sebagai contoh, kami mahukan beberapa nasihat perjalanan tempatan Mereka bukan sahaja dengan sabar memperkenalkan pelbagai tarikan, tetapi juga merancang laluan yang munasabah untuk kami -kelas. Mereka menggunakan keikhlasan dan semangat mereka untuk mencipta rumah yang hangat dan selesa untuk setiap tetamu. Sangat disyorkan kepada semua orang

Amenities and services are way beyond 5 stars if can give 7 stars I would. Drove us everywhere! Gave us recommendations Food wise, I would suggest that you order food to hotel or ask to go a place that you prefer. The recommendations are fine. But if you stay there too long is a bit too repetitive. I marked down cleanliness because the room had a drainage/ sewage smell. Had to keep all drainage eg bath tub toilet cubicle showering area and basin all closed then it was fine. No lift only staircase. Is a 3 storey high villa. This room is on the 3rd floor. The staff kindly helped us to carry our luggage. Things to note: outside shoes are left just inside the entrance. So overall inside is clean. Just need to be mindful of your shoes. Don't take the wrong shoes don't let people take your shoes too :) Skiing area 1. Just directly outside the accommodation good for very new beginners as it isn't too crowded even in the afternoon but it might depend on luck cos if got tour group then can get crowded but they don't stay long 2. Ti wei: nicer for experienced beginners. The intermediate slope is suitable for beginners too. 3. Yang guang: the beginner slope on the cable car from midpoint of area A is more steep than the intermediate slope of ti wei. But it is quite costly to go here for beginners. Experienced skiers will prefer this place. For beginner slopes, driver li helped us get discount There is also a snow play area. Driver li helped us get discount too! We paid for 2 activities and got 3 activities for free haha. Bonus we booked it quite early so no breakfast included. But the owner still gave us breakfast for free 😋 the breakfast was nutritious and yummy! PS: this place was a pleasant surprise. Met 3 other groups of Singaporeans here!

Before coming here, we were worried about getting to the accommodation and attractions. But the bosses were really helpful and arranged everything for us thoughtfully allowing us to have a worry-free stay. They prepared dongbei style traditional costumes, organised activities like tanghulu making, fireworks and many more. The room was spacious, clean, and had the traditional dongbei atmosphere that we were looking for. The room was well-heated such that we were able to walk around comfortably in thin clothes and wake up well-rested with smiles on our faces. The boss greeted us every morning with a light hearty breakfast and made sure we started our day right! He even brought us to the moutains and made sure we were well taken care of before leaving. Furthermore, he even arranged a photographer to help us take beautiful pictures for memories. The location was also perfect as it close to convenient stores and delicious restaurants. Overall, we loved our stay so much. They were the most welcoming hosts we have met. Highly highly recommended!

One of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had — the service here is truly exceptional. We arranged for car pickup from Yabulixi Train Station, and the hotel team was already waiting when we arrived (in -10°C weather!). 小王 and the driver (I suddenly forgot his name) helped us with our luggage and made sure we were warm and comfortable right from the start. Special praise goes to 小王 and the driver, who went above and beyond in every possible way. She recommended activities for us (ATV rides, camel rides, photo taking with the white fox, etc.), and both she and the driver personally drove us to the locations, waited for us, and sent us back to the hotel. They even drove us to Sun Mountain for skiing (even stayed to help us find an instructor first before leaving) the next day. 小王 also offered a complimentary half-day extension of the room just so we could store our luggage while skiing, and she pre-booked all our activities and ski tickets during the drive. Everything was so fuss-free — she took care of every detail for us. The hotel room was clean, comfortable, and decent in size. When we mentioned feeling a bit chilly, the front desk immediately sent a heater to our room and even set it up for us. 小王 surprised us again with some complimentary breakfast dishes too. Though the breakfast buffet didn’t include coffee, when I asked the staff, they kindly provided instant coffee — another small gesture that showed their attentiveness. There’s a convenience store (closes at 10pm) connected to the hotel, and another shop next door where you can rent ski suits and helmets — very convenient. At the end of our trip, 小王 and the driver personally sent us back to the train station. The level of hospitality is truly amazing — some of the best service I’ve ever experienced anywhere. I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Yabuli. Highly, highly recommended.

I’ll start with the highlight of our stay: the ski rental team at Yabuloni Hotel. Since rentals are included in the stay, we spent a fair amount of time with them, and they are truly world-class. Led by a charming and compassionate boss, the team of four （photo attached) is incredibly professional and approachable. They don’t just hand you gear; they perform thorough safety checks, ensure a perfect fit, and offer genuine tips for the slopes. They made our trip seamless and safe. They will be the reason why we will come back and stay here Unfortunately, the hotel itself doesn't live up to that same standard. The hallways are dimly lit and poorly ventilated, a theme that continues into the rooms. The biggest issue was the bathroom, a persistent, foul sewage smell made us feel like we are using a public toilet that has not been cleaned for years. If this is 5 star standard, i'm afraid they have to do much much better. To top it off, the reception staff felt poorly trained. Despite having plenty of people behind the desk, no one could answer basic questions about local attractions, slope openings, or even help us arrange a driver for dinner around the area. For the price point, they should think of how they can justify their service other than having a world class and helpful ski rental management team.
