Gubeikou Great Wall Chengtaoxiaozhu Boutique Homestay

They helped us a lot organising our visit at the Great wall including all transfers. The dinner was delicious and our kids loved the pool and the football table.

Wow. This place is magical and the hosts are SO lovely. They make everything possible. I was initially unsure whether I’d be able to do a self-guided tour to the Great Wall but it couldn’t have been easier. First you take the train to Gubeiko and they’ll pick you up there with a sign with your name. They feed, water and drive you the whole time all at a very good price. The accommodation is very comfortable and the WiFi is super strong. I’m a digital nomad so work while I’m away and the WiFi was strong enough for video calls. Stronger than in Beijing. You can easily walk from here to the Great Wall. I did a whole day hiking from here. You can hike from the restored section in Jinshaling to here as a 6 hour hike taking in both the restored section and the unrestored section of the Great Wall. It’s an incredible walk that’ll leave you so so happy! They even helped me sort a problem with my mobile, which I massively appreciated. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Nothing. Everything was perfect

Super séjour dans cette famille ! La cuisine est excellente avec les légumes du jardin. Je n'ai jamais aussi bien mangé en Chine, La chambre est très grande et très propre. Le propriétaire est adorable, il m'a très bien conseillée pour visiter la muraille dont l'entrée pour la partie non rénovée est toute proche. Ensuite il propose ses services de taxi pour visiter la partie rénovée. Situé hors du village on profite du calme et de la piscine après une longue journée de marche.

Very good location for me. Just a few minutes walk to PANLONG Great Wall Scenic Area. I could see Simatai Great Wall from the ROOF TERRACE. The vegetable gardens. I could pick the vegetables that I like and Mr. Chang Cheng would cook them to my liking. He is very accommodating and caring. He arranged for a car to pick me up at a village after I got lost at the end of my hike. I even play TABLE FOOTBALL and CHINESE CHESS with him. Gubei Water Town is less than 15 minutes drive by car. The Gubeikou Train Station is 10 minutes away by car. The Driver whom he assigned met me very promptly upon my arrival. Lastly he arranged for the same Driver to send me to Beijing Capital Airport from the Homestay. Thank You Chang Cheng for a wonderful stay.

During my stay I could not watch TV due to some maintenance work in the area.

Very nice family and incredible helpful

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful from the beginning, and we really had an incredible experience very close to the Great Wall. Fully recommend!! 谢谢 for everything and all the best:)

This was my second stay in this quest house and the owners have modernised the place by renovating the rooms and bathrooms. The rooms are spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The Wifi works very well. The accommodation is literally at the entrance of The Gubeikou Great Wall and only a short 10 min hike away. But the best part of our stay were the friendly hosts. Angela speaks very good English and communicates very well via messages beforehand and her husband Chen Is such a friendly guy who makes sure that your stay will be unforgettable. His cooking skills are the best. Highly recommended!

Nothing

Everything , I’m writing this from the train station about to leave . The setting is perfect to go around the multiple parts of the Great Wall , there is one unrestored a short walk from the hotel . Honestly this place and its people are amazing . You will feel at home, they arrange everything for you and the food is delicious. It feels like home .

That I had to leave

It's a miracle that we could find such a paradise during May holidays We barbecued on the first day and had their sweet and sour fish and chicken stewed mushrooms on the second day. All the mushrooms and wild vegetables there are picked in the mountains or home-grown. We will definitely come back here next time we are back home. This is definitely the place to go if you wish to get away from the downtown area.

Had to leave....

Everything, the family, the food, the location! It was during May labour day holiday time and it was so quiet there. We almost had the great wall to ourselves! We will def come back again!

We had to leave. It was too short!
