Everything

The family was great. She can cook really delicious and he can help you with the transportation around, knowing perfectly the surroundings, you can win a lot of time, and visit a lot, even catch the sunrise on the Great Wall which is for sure unique and only with a local can be done. I stayed only one night but felt as it was a week. Perfectly planned with the help of both of them. Thanks a lot for everything!! Rooms are super spacious and newly renovated. Bed super confortabile. Hot water at your disposal, towels, slippers, everything u need. Perfect.

The hosts were amazing! They were so helpful and were able to help with drop offs and pick ups at the wall. They were incredibly accommodating with a late check out as well as helping us with our transfer from Beijing and to Mutianyu! I would definitely recommend this homestay!

One of the nicest guesthouses we have ever been to. The couple was so lovely and welcoming, they drove us around and helped with everything. They also served very good Chinese foods, and we ended the night with some karaoke togetger with other guest.

Friendly hosts.

This homestay is by far my favourite place I’ve stayed in China. As a solo traveller it felt so nice to be in a family environment and feel at home. They make such an effort to be friendly and chat and I couldn’t have had a better time! They arranged everything for me and made breakfast and dinner which was all delicious! The rooms are also so nice and was a lovely place to relax after a day of hiking. The parts of the wall you can go to are also so so beautiful and so quiet if you are visiting the Great Wall I don’t think you could visit anywhere better than here! They also drop you off and pick you up and are available if you need any help. They are such fun and kind people and I was so sad to leave! Hope to be back one day to visit in the summer time :)

The perfect place to stay in Gubeikou, could not be better anywhere else. Our host came to pick us up at the train station and gave us all the information for our trail on the great wall. Great hospitality! Great guesthouse! Great food! We hope to come back one day!

Nothing!

Accommodation is amazing, truly boutique hostel. Hosts offer everything you could possibly want or need - from collecting at the station to fantastic breakfasts/evening meals and freshly brewed coffee as well! In terms of visiting the wall you will get the very best authentic experience including drop offs and pick ups, sunrise/sunset walks or be left alone to be totally independent. One of the very places I’ve been lucky enough to stay in. Yay.

Wish we could stay longer ❤️ If you can’t decide where to stay near the Great Wall pick this place! Right near Gubeikou train station. Close to Jinshanling and other less busy sections of the wall. With the hosts knowledge we were often the only people on the wall. The place is beautifully designed and rooms are modern and spotless clean. We had so many laughs and great conversations. They will help with anything you need. It’s close to Gubeikou town where there are a couple restaurants but the hosts make such delicious food in-house at a very reasonable price. Thank you and we hope to be back in summer next time 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I never leave reviews but this guesthouse deserves every good word to be written about them. Xiu and Jack make you feel so at home during your stay and genuinely enjoy getting to know each guest. They kindly upgraded my room free of charge as I was the only guest at the time. The rooms are clean, modern, and are well designed for your needs. Xiu makes wonderful Chinese dishes for breakfast and dinner. They offer taxiing services around the local area, which is reliable and affordable. In the evenings, we did karaoke together in their living room, with myself singing English songs whilst they sang Chinese songs. Although English communication was limited, translate apps greatly helped so it was not an issue. I would consider this kind couple to be more than just owners of a guesthouse, but as friends. I have been travelling for 6 months and have not experienced this level of hospitality at any other establishment, which is high praise from a traveller like myself. I very much enjoyed my time here and will be a fond memory of my entire trip. I hope to visit again someday and bring others too. Maybe next time I come I’ll try to wake up early enough to see the sunrise at the Great Wall !!!!

My only regret is not staying longer!

I loved everything about this place. The host and family were so kind and accommodating. They arranged my time and helped me get the most out of my trip here. They drove me to the water town, the Jinshanling Great Wall and dropped me back to Beijing. The information they provided me really helped me to enjoy my visit, it was accurate and detailed. Communication was excellent. The facilities are just perfect, so clean and the most comfortable bed ever. A beautiful property, excellent meals provided and very hospitable people. Thank you so much ☺️

Just that the duvet is a bit heavy for me, but it could be preferred for others.

It was a great stay - room is tydy and comfy with good taste and well thought details. Big capacity water heater ensures a good hot shower, good quality shampoo and shower cream are provided, along with other essential utensils: tooth brushes and paste, shower slippers and room slippers, towels, intelligent toilet etc. Good equality beddings guarantee a good night of sleep. The owner couple are friendly and caring. Transportation can be arranged if you wan to visit JinShanLing greatwall. Last but not the least, the food is homy and yummy. Overall it was a pleasant stay and we will come back.

The location and the housing of the property is great. It is neat, modern and the food is very tasty! But what especially made us happy was the hospitality of the owners. We immediately felt at home and had a great time. The driving service to the water town and the great wall was very convenient.

The hosts were lovely, very helpful and knowledgeable. Took us up for a sunrise walk on the wall, as well as providing maps etc for hikes I did solo. Felt very at home, would recommend to anyone considering going.

I had a fantastic stay at this guesthouse, where I was hosted by kind and welcoming owners. The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated, but it was the owners who made my stay so unforgettable. They helped with transport to/from the Great Wall, even when I wanted to leave early in the morning, and cooked delicious food too! I would highly recommend their home to anyone visiting gubeikou.

The couple who owns the guesthouse are very very nice! They help with everything, drives you to the wall and back, drives you to the train, makes tea and food for every meal. Highest recomendation! Perfect if you want to visit Jinshanling. Rooms were brand new and very nice as well.

The couple managing this Guesthouse are very warm and welcoming. They took good care of us, meeting us when we reached the train station. They arranged transport for us to do our treks at different sections of the great wall. The weather was not in our favour on the first day but we enjoyed the good company and friendly conversation over many cups of tea. Our beds were also comfortable, and it was convenient to have attached toilet with good supply of hot water. There are not many food options around but we purchased very delicious meals and ate at the Guesthouse. Overall we were very pleased with our stay.
