This was an exceptional find especially at the price point. Mr and Mrs Zhang took care of us like family. For a little extra, they prepared meals including one of the best braised pork I've ever tasted. They also could arrange for convenient transfers in and out of the capital to our selected locations at a reasonable fee. My only regret was only booking one night

Friendly seniors couple running the homestay. They provide transportation services at a reasonable price. The location of the homestay is not as shown in Google maps. Its about 3km from the main entrance of the watet town.

For a long stay, the small bathroom might be inconvenient

Very traditional guest house, great hospitality from the family that owns it! A good chance to try some local dishes! The owner can take you from the airport and return you in the city!

Fantastic place close to Gubei water town and Simatai Great Wall! The food was absolutely delicious and the hosts make us feel like we were at home. They help us with the driving and they took us to the airport on the last day for a very reasonable price. Thank you very much for everything, we loved our stay!

Better if you could provide toileteries in the bathroom such as enough tissue, and also need to provide drinking water to the hotel room.

Excellent Service

Owner and his wife treated their guests like family. They even make sure that their guests dress properly to their outings.

Room a bit small.

Very warm and hospitable couple who gave good advice and ensure our comfort throughout our stay.

Loved everything! Only thing to be aware of is there’s not much else around but don’t let this deter you! They provide delicious home cooked meals for a very reasonable price. We ate all our meals with them and being vegetarian want an issue :) and they will drive you anywhere if needed.

Everything! We were treated like family! Close to Simatai and Jinshanling sections of the Great Wall. They offer transportation for a reasonable price. The son lives in Beijing and the place is run by his parents who will go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. They communicate efficiently through translator apps and if there are any issues their son is available to chat. We didn’t want to leave ❤️

As you can tell it was more of an experience & while they were definitely fair prices be aware you will be paying a bit more for your trip when you add the transport costs and delicious food cooked for you into account but don't let that put you off it is an unforgettable stay!

We loved getting picked up and dropped off at the train station at either end of our trip & also the guidance and transport around to all the sites of the area. We were able to communicate through WeChat so would recommend it to anyone visiting. We actually didn't find the bed too uncomfortable while it is hard and slept very well. Would definitely recommend staying here for those wanting to visit the region!

I know there are comments on the bed being hard but this is quite standard and honestly the whole experience more than made up for a firm bed!

Our hosts were simply amazing! They were just so lovely. Amazing overnight ha stay! Very authentic. We had trouble with organising transfer from Beijing but then found this accommodation. our host picked us up from our Beijing city hotel and too us back at a very reasonable and much much cheaper price than anything we looked at! Also took us to and picked us up from the water town when needed. Honestly never post normally but felt I needed to share what a wonderful experience we had! We also had breakfast made for us and there was plenty and at a very reasonable price and was very yum!

The hosts are extremely flexible and gave me a warm welcome ! The owner drove me to the main sites of the region which allow me to enjoy this place much more than expected ! Thanks.

Such a lovely family running this guesthouse. This is my second time staying with them. I try to come back to Jingshaling every year in the fall (it is glorious ). The place is fantastic. They organize my transport from the airport for a very honest price. The food is SO MUCH and SO GOOD. XIE XIE to the lady that runs the place. If you want authentic countryside Chinese experience, this is the place.

Excellent organisation by the host ( who has a good english) to have the most wonderful Great Wall experience. He did everything for us ( drives, tickets, drop us for the sunrise, uncrowded place).

It’s like a family, they took care of us and we felt at home

The 3 bed room we stayed in, the attached bathroom water does not drain fast enough, so gets a bit flooded. But not a huge issue.

The host (Rock) and his parents are wonderful !! Anticipated , attentive and accommodating to all our request. Accommodation is basic but it's clean, value for money. Host's mom cooks the meals (typical Chinese meals) and also offers private car service to shuttle us to and from Beijing downtown and to Gubei Watertown and Jinshanling if needed.

This place truly melted our hearts! We had the best time here, and our hosts were like grandparents to us in China. From the moment we arrived, they took excellent care of us. We stayed for two nights, which gave us the chance to visit Gubei Water Town and the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall. Both were incredible experiences! Our hosts drove us to and from both locations each day, and they also cooked delicious meals for us. It was a truly heartwarming experience, and you can feel how much love and dedication they put into hosting travelers. Highly recommended for Western visitors!

Didn't enjoy sleeping on Dwayne Johnson. The only downer.

Home stay run by beautiful parents for 3 nights. Arranged a drive to and from Jinshanling part of the Great Wall, with help on buying tickets and which part to start walk at (cater this to your fitness levels and time you wish to spend there). Amazing day. Also got picked up from bus station just outside Gubei Water Town. We thoroughly enjoyed spending a day and night here (entrance fee). The Simatai Great Wall can be accessed from within Gubei Water Town, or from the outside. Note, to see the wall at night as well as the day as we did, you must purchase 2 tickets and come back down in the day and go back at night when Wall is reopened. Both views worth the visit and cost. 5 minutes walk from the bus station towards the Gubei Water Town entrance are 2 Lawsons. Great for snacks, brekkie items for Jumanyuan House. We had both one breakfast, lunch and dinner at homestay. Filling and simple home cooking.

We loved the way they welcome us and shared with us their family friendly spirit. Rock and his parents are amazing and we will still remember them. They provided good breakfast and dinner during our staying and let’s us free to enjoy time at their home.

Everything was good

Mr and Mrs Zhang were exceptionally kind to us during our stay; they made us feel at home, made sure that we had everything, made us homemade comforting food for cheap whenever we were hungry. Also kindly took us to the great wall (Jinshanling) and Gubei Watertown. They make you pay everything at the end of your stay, and the price is more than reasonable and fair.
