Kashgar Returning Friends International Youth Hostel（Ella's Home）

This is an international youth hostel with an extraordinary atmosphere, and the environment and hygiene are also quite good. I first heard about it from a friend who stayed here before. It’s truly fantastic once you arrive! The two hosts are extremely kind—since it’s winter now, they even provided us with hot water bottles, which is so thoughtful. Especially coming to Kashgar from the colder regions of Central Asia, I feel much warmer here. I will definitely recommend this hostel to my friends if they come here next time.

There is a kitchen. But the kitchen can only be used if the owner is there and awake. So normally it should be open at 10 a.m. but when I was there, it was not open because she was still sleeping.

Ella / Shen, the owner is a very nice person and her DIY wine project is cool. The male dorm was nice and clean, the bunks had a good curtain and I was lucky with the people staying there, people were respectful with the sleeping times etc. and I think the instructions by the hostel helped with this. The instructions were definitely a good thing to have but they could be also developed more with the guest’s needs in mind, I would think how to make the things as accessible as possible and try to think outside of the box, try to see ot with the eyes of a foreigner that most likely struggles a lot with the local character system and finding their way around - very basic things. The client service is key here. Thank you for the stay, I wish all the best for the future.

It is an amazing place to stay, nice environment, clean, people from around the world gather here are very friendly. And the owner Ella is very helpful to give me tour advise, i will definitely stay here again if i come here to visit again.

This hostel is most excellent and very popular with trans-Asia cyclists.

I booked four days and I like to stay there! I will come back again.
