- Free pickup from the Hovd Airport
- Free breakfast (Fried egg with bread, tea/coffee)
- Free hot shower

Other perks of staying in the Big Family Guesthouse are a 24 hour check-in service, an English-speaking manger, a clean bathroom with a nicer shower than those at the Shower House, a spacious sleeping area, and a separate common room with cable TV, internet, and a kitchen for the guests to use. There is also a small art shop in the common room with handicrafts made by the owner's mother, and Mongolian deels (dress robes) on hand so the guests can take free photos of themselves wearing traditional Mongolian clothes. There is no curfew at the guesthouse, and there is no smoking allowed inside. In the winter the heat is supplied centrally by radiators, in the non-winter months heat can still be controlled by a stove on colder days.
