Gubeikou Great Wall Chengtaoxiaozhu Boutique Homestay

The accomodation is well located and very peaceful at night. The host was attentive and warm-hearted. Highly recommended.

This property is a little gem. Just a 15 minutes walking distance from the Panlongshan section of the Great Wall, it gives you the chance to experience the sunset and sunrise on the Great Wall, and from there to reach the Jinshanling track from the West gate. But logistics is only one part of the story. The family who runs the inn is just unbelievable welcoming and helpful. They fetched me at Gubeikou station, came to pick me up after the hike, and even prepared a delicious breakfast and packed lunch for my hike. On the top of this, the quality of the room is exceptionally high. Fully equipped and very nicely decorated. A 5 star stay, that’s for sure.

In my opinion its people who always make a place -- the owners (the whole family - Angela, her husband, two daughters and mother-in-law) are extremely kind, generous, helpful and funny!

I cannot recommend this property enough. The family who run the property were so helpful, kind and generous. They went out of their way to help us- booking transport and catering meals, making recommendations for our trip. To get here, we took the bus from Beijing to Gubeikou Water town and stayed 2 nights here, then took the train from Gubeikou back to Beijing. The couple cooked us vegetarian dinner, breakfast and made us packed lunches for our day hike along the wall. Delicious homemade Chinese food! The property is so conveniently located to access three parts of the Great Wall: Pandong is 5mins walk, Jinshaling is 20-30mins by car and Gubeikou water town is 15mins by car. The hosts helped us organise transport to the property and plan our visit to the wall. Translation was no problem- we used WeChat translate and Google translate to communicate. And we used AliPay to pay for everything while we were there. There was a fussball table, scooters and skateboard toys for our daughter to play on whilst we were at the property too.

This place is A-MA-ZING! No words can describe how friendly, helpful, joyful and kind the hosts are. The homestay is located at an amazing place. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the food is a real feast and the hospitality is like nowhere else. Please pay them a visit and have the same great experience like we did.

Brilliant accomodation, incredibly close to a beautiful, remote part of the wall. the hosts were fantastic and extremely responsive to our needs (especially as we had to cut our trip short due to the rain). we also felt very comfortable staying there as a gay couple!

genuinely nothing to improve!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The owner was really helpful - we missed the train in Beijing, so she helped us with an alternative route. When we arrived, we had dinner with vegetables from their own garden, and the next morning after breakfast she had prepared a lunch package to take on our hike to the wall. The location is really convenient, just a 10 min walk to one of the entrances near Gubeikou. You can choose to walk only there (already great) or pass to the Jinshanling area as well. The rooms where comfortable as well. Would definitely recommend!

Nothing.

Easiest recommendation I've ever made. This family owned Inn is just perfect to me. The hosts are extremely caring and generous, the food is delicious, the Inn is located in a quiet area, very close to the Great Wall. You truly feel taken care of with tasty home made dishes, car transportation to places you wish to visit, and a genuinely warm-hearted owner (and his lovely son we had the chance to meet as well). Comfort is good, everything is clean, and the rooms are spacious. Great experience, we really felt at home and we will never forget our stay here !
