Guest Reviews
- Libeaud (10/5): - Très bon emplacement pour visiter le parc le matin avant l'arrivée massive de touriste. L'hôte donne de bon conseil sur l'itinéraire en fonction de votre temps et capacités physique
- Miguel Ángel (10/5): Ideal para visitar el parque - Estaba a 5 minutos a pie de la entrada al parque nacional.
El tipo es mega simpático y te ayuda con la ruta.
Tienes agua gratis cada día, las habitaciones son amplias y la cama es muy cómoda y limpia Me gustó todo
- Somchay (10/5): - l emplacement au top et le patron trop gentil et super professionnel
- Emily (9/5): Brilliant location and excellent host - We had a fantastic stay at Wally’s - the hotel is lovely and our room was large and really comfortable. Wally helped us so much with our route planning for the national park and it really is a 5 min walk to the east gate. The location is perfect with lots to see nearby as well as the park. We also used the laundry which was a great bonus. Nothing!
- Joycelyn (9/5): Comfortable stay - Staff was very kind and helpful None
- Toby (10/5): - Lots of great guidance and perfect location. Allowed us to do our washing twice! And even upgraded us. Super kind Nothing
- Baldwin (10/5): - The Wally House offers fully equipped and clean rooms, with particularly comfortable mattresses. It provides unlimited free mineral water and free capsule coffee. The host is excellent.
- Amandine (10/5): - An excellent location. It only takes about 6 minutes on foot to reach the east entrance of the park. The owner will give you a free park map and he will quickly mark the tour route on it. I'm sure I'll have a wonderful vacation here!
- Gargan (10/5): - Owner Wally is very willing to help you solve any problems. He is always very patient and can ensure basic English communication. He planned the route for us to visit the park on the map. We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay here.
- eric (10/5): - In early April 2026, I stayed at Wally's for 4 nights and it was extremely pleasant. His location was very convenient for the east entrance of the park, just a 5-minute walk away. If you consulted him in advance about booking tickets, he would help you purchase the tickets. He is an excellent host, always willing to share his ideas and help us plan our trips, and also assist us in exploring those amazing parks. Add his WeChat and he will also provide assistance during your visit. Wally, thank you for allowing me to have such an unforgettable time!
- Clémence (10/5): Séjour raffiné et confortable chez Wally - La guesthouse est située à quelques minutes à pieds de l’entrée du parc, dans une petite rue très calme et est entouré de restaurants.
La chambre était très joliment décoré, raffinée et confortable. Tout était très propre.
La douche a de l’eau très chaude avec une bonne pression. Les serviettes de toilettes étaient douces et agréables.
Il y a une bouillotte pour se faire ses boissons chaudes.
La literie est très confortable avec une bonne qualité de linge.
De plus, Wally est un hôte adorable et très arrangeant! Il nous a aidé pour beaucoup de choses (organisation du séjour, restaurants, il est venu nous chercher au bus, il nous a aidé pour notre lessive…)
Et pour finir, il y a un gros chien adorable ! Rien - tout était parfait !
- nacho (10/5): - Wally is a very good host. He runs a small hotel at the entrance of the park. The rooms are clean and comfortable. He is always ready to help. You can consult him about any problem during your trip.
- Louth (10/5): - If you want to visit Zhangjiajie National Forest Park - the filming location of the movie "Avatar", this is an excellent choice for you. It offers great value for money. If you prefer small hotels rather than large hotels, Wally is a local who knows the park well. So he will guide you on how to enjoy your visit.
- Anton (10/5): - Хозяин очень дружелюбный и заботливый. Помогал решить любые вопросы - от планирования маршрута по парку до помощи в покупке необходимых вещей (в нашем случае это был чай). В отеле живет старый добрый пес, в коридоре бывает от него сильный запах, но это некритично, т.к. в самом номере запаха не было.
- Igor (10/5): -
- Igor (10/5): - Very good location; 5-10 minutes walk to East Gate entrance to Avatar mountains. Owner is amazing; gave us a map and explained everything step by step for all 3 days of our stay and our visits to National parks (we also visited Tianamen mountains, watched an evening show there and we visited Canyon with zip line and 2 slides. He booked us tickets for a show in Grand Theatre with some discount. Every room has a shower even though it's called hostel. Overall very nice and convenient place to stay. N/A
- Lucy (10/5): -
- mariolhg (9/5): - Hotel coqueto cerca de la entrada del Parque Forestal de Zhangjiaje
La atención de Wally, te ayuda en tofo lo qie necesited
- Mauro (9/5): -
- viridiana (9/5): Perfecto - Wally es increible, te explica como visitar los parques con un mapa y te da los mejores tips.
El alojamineto está caminando a la entrada del parque de las montañas de avatar, es un lugar muy cómodo y lindo.
Super recomendable
- Yasemin (10/5): - Unser Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel war einer der besten auf unserer gesamten China-Reise. Die Lage ist perfekt: Das Hotel befindet sich nur etwa 5 Minuten vom Eingang des Zhangjiajie Nationalparks entfernt, was unseren Besuch extrem bequem gemacht hat.
Trotz unserer sehr späten Ankunft nahm sich der Gastgeber viel Zeit für uns. Er half uns ausführlich bei der Planung unseres nächsten Tages im Nationalpark und stellte sogar individuelle Routen für uns zusammen. Zusätzlich erhielten wir einen Preisnachlass, und als Abschiedsgeschenk bekamen wir einen regionalen Tee, den es nur in dieser Gegend gibt – eine sehr herzliche Geste.
Diese außergewöhnliche Gastfreundschaft und der großartige Service haben unseren Aufenthalt unvergesslich gemacht. Wir können dieses Hotel absolut weiterempfehlen!
- Natalia (9/5): - Отель хорошо расположен, до входа в Парк 10 минут пешком.
Владелец отеля очень помог с составлением маршрута по Парку на 2 дня, все понятно и доступно, действительно, пригодилось.
В номере было все необходимое. Номер уже немного устаревший.
- Xabilo (9/5): - Ubicación insuperable, a 5 minutos a pie de la entrada al parque nacional de Zhangjiajie. La habitación muy limpia y cómoda, con aire acondicionado, ducha excelente y baño privado. Hay una lavadora en la azotea, donde también se puede colgar la ropa. El dueño Wally es muy atento y habla muy bien en inglés, te recomienda que recorrido hacer en el parque dependiendo de tus planes, 1-2-3 días. Hay varios restaurantes y tiendas de comida alrededor del hotel. Nada
- SHAOHUA (9/5): 很不錯!性價比高 - 地點離標誌門很近,遊覽景區方便。老闆友善,樂於助人。 電視似乎只有網路的節目
- Perizat (10/5): - уюный, постель чистый, в первый раз была с друзьями, второй раз тоже остановились с родителями всем советую, хозяйка делает все для вашего удобства,
- ULYANA (10/5): - Радушный заботливый владелец. Охотно рассказывал нам как лучше добраться до парка. Бронировали номер с одной кроватью на двоих, но он предложил нам раздельные кровати - это подошло нам гораздо больше.
Местоположение отличное - всего в двух минутах ходьбы от восточных ворот парка.
- Raquel (7/5): -
- Lara (10/5): - El chico es súper atento y está siempre muy disponible. Nos dió un cuarto más grande del que habíamos reservado :) la habitación era grande, bonita, luminosa y muy cómoda. Aunque sin duda, lo mejor fue DORO, el perrito de la recepción que es super adorable
- Dylé (10/5): - Très bonne adresse. Des chambres joliment décorées et très confortables. L'hôte est super disponible et donne de précieux conseils. Bien situé près d'un marché de nuit.
- D. Santos (10/5): Best place for visiting Zhangjiajie - Everything was perfect. Wally is the best host ever and helped us to organize the visit to Zhangjiajie. I can’t imagine a best place to stay! Very close to the entrance park. Thanks a lot, Wally!
- Nassar (10/5): -
- Odiaz76 (9/5): - Es la segunda vez que nos quedamos en este hotel, la atención y servicio es excelente, el chico te ayuda en todo lo que necesitas y esta cerca de la entrada del parque Nada
- Manuel jesus (9/5): - Nos ayudaron mucho a planificar la ruta por las montañas. Fue de gran ayuda.
- SILVIA (10/5): Ubicación inmejorable y se habla inglés - La ubicación es perfecta. A 6 minutos a pie de la entrada este del parque. Y el propietario es sencillamente encantador. Para empezar habla un inglés muy decente y no hemos visto eso aún en los 10 días que llevamos en China. En este lugar es especialmente importante poder comunicarse porque el parque forestal es un galimatías importante y que alguien tan amable sea capaz de orientarte y explicarte cómo organizar tus días de visita al parque para no perderte nada no tiene precio. También se ofreció a gestionarnos la compra de la entrada llamando incluso a las oficinas del parque. En fin, una maravilla. En cuanto al hotel, es sencillo pero no le falta nada. Escogimos camas tipo tatami porque nos apetecía y resultaron muy cómodas. El baño también bien con ducha, gel, champú, zapatillas, cepillo de dientes… Agua sin cargo y recomendaciones muy interesantes para cenar por la zona. Definitivamente lo recomiendo y no dudaré en repetir si vuelvo. Ah, su perro es un magnífico animal, tranquilo y pacífico que da aún más la sensación de hogar Nada. Todo me gustó
- Mostafa (8/5): -
- Alberto (10/5): - La ubicación es genial y el personal excepcional Las camas eran un poco duras pero eso va en gustos
- Eddie (9/5): - Good room size for 2 and luggage
5 min walk to National Park
Convenience store, restaurants and street food few seconds away from hostel
Informative and helpful owner, cute laid-back dog
- Ma (10/5): Exceptional - Very accommodating and helped us book tickets nd plan the park visits and owner went out his way to buy cake coz it was my partner's birthday Nothing
- Bandula (10/5): 5-Star Review for Mr. Wally at Wally House - I strongly recommend “Mr. Wally” and “Wally House”! From the moment I arrived, Mr. Wally proved to be an exceptionally kind, honest, and helpful host who went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
His excellent English was a huge advantage, making communication effortless—this alone might be one of the top reasons for native English speakers to choose his place. He was always accommodating, flexible with changes, and genuinely cared about his guests' needs.
The location is another major plus—close to many scenic spots and hotspots in Zhangjiajie, including the Wulingyuan entrance to the National Forest Park, Tianzi Mountain, and the stunning Avatar Mountain. This made exploring the area incredibly convenient.
If you're looking for a welcoming, well-located, and hassle-free home stay in Zhangjiajie, “Wally House” is the perfect choice. I strongly recommend it to anyone visiting the area—you will hardly find a more helpful and trustworthy host than Mr. Wally!
Superb hospitality and experience!
- Young (10/5): Keep up the great service! - The stay is comfortable and the facilities are adequate but most importantly the host provides excellent service and gives a warm human touch to the stay 👍🏻👍🏻 Nothing
- Wojciech (10/5): Perfect! - Perfect localization next to the night market and good restaurants. 5 min walk from the entrance to the park. Very helpful staff - they provide you with a map and tips about what to do in the park
- Amin (10/5): Exceptional - Great host, Wally was super helpful and kind. He helped us with planning our 2 day itinerary and it was awesome.
Great location.
Spacious rooms.
Affordable.
Highly recommend. The WiFi was ok
- Zulu (10/5): Lovely guesthouse close to East Entrance - Wally was very helpful with providing information about the park and helped us with an itinerary. The location is amazing, just 5 minutes walking from the East Entrance to the park. The bed is comfortable, the wet room is clean and the shower has good pressure. Wally even let us leave our bags in the room and use the shower again after our last day in the park (of course this was conditional on there being no new guests directly after us). Lovely place, fully recommend!
- Daniele (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was exceptional, he helped us a lot in finding the best route in the park for our needs. He also speak English and helped us on our next accommodation late check in. The location is perfect to enter the park through east gate. Nothing
- I. (8/5): Great location with friendly staff - Location was great. Owner was very friendly and helpful. You get discount in several restaurants (breakfast and dinner) if you get referred by him. I like dogs but the living room had a dog smell. One of the rooms did not had enough warm water.
- Sofia (9/5): definitely recommend for solo travelers and friend groups, a very cozy place to enjoy the area from! - Overall, the place is really nice! We liked how close it was to the food street and the park entrance, also pretty close to the bus station. For breakfast we went to next door neighbor for cheap and tasty chinese breakfast to fuel up before mountains, then on the corner there is a good chinese food spot for dinner, and if you go towards the park entrance, the korean place is great too! The owner of the hostel can speak english, he will advise the routes and places for you to visit, according to how many days you have, and he can even get you some local tea, which was delish! The one-bed room was spacious and clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the big window looks pretty nice! The place itself is not new, so it may look a bit old, but i’d say it adds a charm to it. I wouldn’t say it was bad, but since there is a lovely dog on the first floor, the smell is kinda strong, so make sure you love dogs enough to not be bothered by that. Also, since its close to the main food street, even in the evening and night, it can be a bit loud, but still tolerable.
- Kok (9/5): Superb -
- Evan (10/5): great host, great location, and nice rooms! - very clean, rooms were super nice, wally was extremely helpful and generous nothing
- Supan (9/5): Superb -
- Jon (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great, very close to the East entrance to Zhangjiajie National Park and a food market.
Wally was exceptional. He would stay with us for as long as we needed to help us with our itinerary and ticket booking.
- Yap (9/5): Superb - Very good locations. Just a few minutes walk to Zhangjiajie natural park. There are also a lot of food stall near the hotel
- Mitchell (10/5): Such a great stay at Wally House, the owner gave us fantastic advice for the national park which meant we were able to m - Location, staff, price, facilities Nothing
- Anora (10/5): the hotel is wonderful, very convenient location. The hotel itself is very close to the main park. T -
- Min (10/5): Comfy place in a great location! - Amazing location - 15mins to the national park entrance by foot.
The place is very clean and comfortable. Mr Wally has been a great host, advising us on places to go and helping us with booking them too
Highly recommend!!
- Ai (9/5): Good location and value for money. - The Wally house is very near to the east entrance, about 5mins walk. The King Room is big but there is no lift available. Will need to carry the luggages up to your room. Mr Wally helps to carry though. There is no daily cleaning of room, so need to put disposal rubbish outside the room for collection. Changing of towels per your request. Fee flow of bottle drinks and toilet paper when needed. Washing machine is available for guest to use.
The host Mr Wally is very friendly and helpful. He helps to receive our Taobao purchases before our arrival at the hostel. He also assisted us in explaining the places to visit and to book discounted tickets to the National forest park, Grand Canyon and yellow dragon cave. The washing machine is located at the roof top. Need to climb to the top floor and up a ladder to reach the top. Quite a long steep steps to go up and down the ladder.
- Samuel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ilona (10/5): Exceptional - the property is very authentic, and atmospheric. it is like you dive into the different world. rooms are big, which is a very big plus, and have a conditioner heater/cooler. at first it is cold, but then it gets warm very fast (remember we are out of season) I think it is paradise here during the summer. as many of the people wrote there is a night market just by the hotel. Wally helps with everything which is a big relief when you don’t know the area, the language etc, it saves a lot of time. don’t expect 5* hotel, expect adventure. and of course being located almost next to the entrance to the park gives a tremendous convenience. thank you Wally!
- Victor (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and really nice host who helped us a lot in English.
- Sojowe (10/5): Exceptional - We had a really nice stay at Wally's House. The rooms were nice and spacious and the owner Wally was super nice and friendly. He offered us a second room for free, took time every evening to show us which parts of the Forest Park to visit and even let us take a shower after checking out and before taking the nighttrain. Thanks for everything! The rooms were a bit cold due to the season but the ac helped a bit to heat it up but I think that's normal in China in winter.
- Jeffrey (9/5): Cozy stay, great host. - Host was awesome, very helpful and provided a lot of useful information
Room was big, clean and cozy
- Dalibor17 (10/5): Excellent service and location!! - It was so lovely and cozy place to stay!! The host is awesome and he helped us plan to visit the national park and explained everything to the detail. Also the best thing about it is that it is right next to the entrance to national park, only 5 minutes walk!! We manage to go very early and we have been first up by cable car and had time enjoy it all before all the crowds came in!!
The host also helped us with early taxi booking to go to train station. Also good for dog lovers as they have one lovely dog downstairs 👍
- Lee (8/5): Very good - The owner was really helpful with the itinerary. The room felt good and there was a friendly dog :) Overall quite clean, very good location, about a 5 min walk from the East Entrance. The room was really cold, even with the aircon blowing warm air. I chalked that up to me sleeping on the floor, because my room is a tatami room, where the bed is just a mattress on the floor.
- Chia (8/5): Very good -
- Matthieu (10/5): Amazing place to visit the Zhangjiajie National Park - Super friendly staff. Amazing location - super close to the National Park, the bus station (to go to the glass canyon or in zhangjiajie downtown), and the little night market to eat something afterwards. The room was really comfy and we really enjoyed our stay there !
- Senjaya (10/5): Exceptional - Boss always help, no doubt for his excellent service Short duration of our trip, hope more and more
- Tom (10/5): Great location and very nice rooms - Very close to the scenic park and a 30mins drive to the Grand Canyon. Very nice rooms, large, hot water, aircon/heater. Great host, stayed here last year and he helped plan my day trip in the park. He speaks English.
- Quinn (9/5): Superb - Owner sat me down and prepared a comprehensive plan for my stay, and really helped me build a strong itinerary. He also suggested restaurants and made sure to check in. Facilities were lovely and clean, perfect location for walking to the forest park. Sometimes the owner was hard to find, but given the amount of help he gave me that was hardly a problem.
- Theron (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kristan (8/5): Very good - The location of this hotel was perfect, and easy taxi ride from Zhangjajie station to the hotel did not cost much, and we were able to easily walk to the National park entrance for opening (and be the first ones into the park)
The hotel was nice, clean, comfortable. The simple room for the night that we were looking for. Nothing
- Lee (9/5): Superb - Great location and value for money. The owner very friendly and help us on our journey
- Ana (10/5): Definitely we will come back again in wally house - Mr.wally is very nice hotel owner…he always assist us to ur needs and gives us accurate directions to where we are going in zhangjiajie forest park..we will come again and stay the same hotel..very near to all the restaurants nothing..its a perfect location
- Martin (10/5): Amazing location and Wally was very helpful! - The location, so close for the east gate of Zhangjiajie national park, and the local night market. It was still relatively quiet. The owner was very helpful with tips, such as the route for Zhangjiajie, and breakfast location. The room was very comfortable.
- Joyce (10/5): Great location and host, close to Forest park - Great location and host. Close to the Zhangjiajie Forest Park east gate. Enough restaurants and shops nearby. Nothing
- Levin (9/5): great location, very helpful and nice host! - we really liked the location which is right next to the night market and 5 minutes walk from the park entrance.
the host was very helpful and helped us plan a 3 day trip at the natural park it wasn’t the cleanest but is was still a very nice stay
- Yelena (10/5): Great location, amazing host! - Wally is a great host! Took care of every little thing for us.. like staying with the family level of care…thanks to him we had best time in Zhangjiajie…Location is great- 5 min walk to East gate , highly recommend! Nothing
- Yelena (10/5): Great host! - Wally is an amazing host! Helped us plan our routes in the park, got us Park tickets , drove us to bus station and helped with everything we needed. Without Wally we wouldn’t have such seamless experience in Zhangjiajie…Location is great- 5 min walk to East gate , highly recommend! Nothing
- Dianasu (9/5): Great stay - Great location, just near to the gate to the park and street food, Wally helped with everything we need. -
- David (10/5): Great place with a host who cares about his guests - Really enjoyed my stay at Wally House. The room was large and comfortable (on 2nd floor) and Wally was a great host and really helpful, including suggesting an itinerary for the Zhangjiajie National Park. Wifi worked fine and the location was close to the streetfood market on Jiuding Road (just across a bridge small stream and on a parallel street). The Wujiao gate for the National Park is a short 10 min walk away (where you'll also find Starbucks and Luckin Coffee if you need it). I would definitely stay here again. I found it slightly tricky to find and the address I was given didn't work with didi (taxi), but that was it
- Sarah (9/5): Highly recommend by Australians, thank you Wally! - Stayed 3 nights, very good location, 5min walk to ticket gate. Wally is very helpful and provides map and route which we followed and helped us a lot getting from each area. Wally provides free laundry and clothes dry very quickly. Food market right out front and restaurant in front of Wally’s is very good and coffee available early hours next door. Highly recommend Wally’s. Room was very big and very clean. If you needed anything Wally was happy to help and provide. Wally speaks English and thank you for having us from Australia. Basic amenities but if you needed anything Wally will happily help and get it for you. Plus, you are there to hike the mountains and beds are comfortable and shower has good pressure and hot!
- Junita (9/5): Little comfort house. - Great location. Clean and comfortable beds. Very caring and helpful owner. The aircon was leaking, but Wally tried to fix it.
- Ilya (9/5): Superb - Nice and cozy place, 5 min away from entrance to National Park.
- Zina (8/5): The convenience and location of wallys made our stay so much easier to go and explore the local sights - Wally’s was ideally placed for the national park and Grand Canyon . Wally was so helpful spending time mapping out how to get the best of the park and use of local transport There was nothing we didn’t like but having a couple of cups in the room to make drinks would make it perfect . That said when we asked wally he did provide them to us🙂
- Hugo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (10/5): Exceptional - Highly recommended this hotel for anyone visiting Zhangjiajie Park. The owner was super helpful in advising what to do each day, and you really need to have this kind of insight in order to make the most of your time there. Property was beautifully decorated and kind positive vibes from the owner. Nothing, really recommend
- Giorgos (9/5): Superb - First and foremost the owner, Wally himself...he was very eager and helpful and friendly. Being able to speak English facilitated the communication. He even suggested a detailed plan for the park according to our needs and time available. The location was great and really close to the entrance. The lobby was beautifully decorated too. The rooms were comfortable but had the basics regarding the commodities inside and room cleaning was not provided during the stay.
- Jan (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location very close to everything (ticket gate, eateries, night market). Wally is a great host who does everything to make your stay comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay.
- Jozef (9/5): Superb - Location great, host is very helpful. Good internet and airco.
- Stef (9/5): Perfect location with helpful host - Perfect location for visiting the national park (5-10 min walk to entrance), and is right in front of a night market. The host speaks good English and helped to plan our visit in the park. We could use the washing machine as well. Room was a bit dusty, but other than that clean and comfortable.
- Eva (8/5): Very good - The staff was very helpful for planning all the stay. With the help of a handmap we could plan all the routes in the park. Also good recommendations for food in town. The owner was always around and ready to ask for how was the day and the trip.
- Luke (9/5): Helpful owner - Wally was extremely helpful. He provided us with a map of the National Park for our two day stay and recommended an itinerary for us, which we would have been lost without. We had an excellent time thanks to him. He also recommended a lovely local restaurant.
The room was comfortable and we were able to do laundry at the hotel, which was very useful. No breakfast provided, but there are places close by to eat at. Nothing
- Albert (9/5): Nice room and excellent location for a visit to Zhangjiajie - Very nice friendly staff and clean room in an excellent location. As in other places in China, even people with poor English went the extra mile to help.
- Paul (10/5): Amazing location, Amazing accommodation and Amazing staff. - Great location, very spacious and clean accommodation and the staff were so helpful. We were given excellent, detailed advice about how best to see the National Park as well as brilliant recommendations for restaurants and local amenities. Amazing place.
- Hui (10/5): Exceptional - The owner Wally is so thoughtful and helpful. He planned our trip in Zhangjiajie accordingl to our schedule (he also checked the weather conditions) and helped us buy tickets at lower price. Location is excellent as it only takes 5 minutes to reach the park entrance. The place is nice and cozy, also not noisy at all.
- Emma (9/5): Great stay - Wally was a fantastic host! Very friendly, helpful with the itinerary for zhangjiajie and restaurant tips. We also loved his dog “duorou (more meat)”. Less than 5min walk to the park entrance Nothing
- Pei (10/5): Wonderful Stay - Incredible host - Wally House is an absolute gem of an accommodation & Wally is a wonderful host with a human touch.
We arrived at the place rather late at night, and Wally was waiting for us and helped us with our luggage. He patiently explained to us the routes we can take to explore ZJJ even though it’s so late at night, and let us go back to the room to rest even before we paid for our tickets to ZJJ. Throughout our stay, he has constantly been incredibly helpful, always checking in on us and helping us check the weather and our itinerary to ensure that we will have a superb trip. On the last day, my boyfriend fell sick and Wally helped us with the medication and provided us with all the care even though we have already checked out. I am very grateful for the hospitality and human touch Wally has displayed, it made staying at this homestay such an incredible experience!
Besides, the rooms are extremely clean and comfortable. The beds are soft and blankets are really thick. The location is a plus point as well, there is a night market right under our doorsteps and we got to eat so many yummy food every night. It’s also a stones throw away from the ZJJ East Gate Entrance. There is also a lovely dog 多肉 waiting for us every night by the doorstep!
We absolutely loved staying at Wally House & interacting with Wally and his cute dog. I would definitely recommend anyone to book this accommodation for a truly authentic experience of Chinese hospitality thousands of miles away from your actual home.
- Vos (10/5): 100% recommended - Location is fantastic and Wallie adds immeasurable value to the trip. During our month long China trip, he was our only host and our travel arrangements in Zhangjiagie was made much easier because of him. And our furry friend guarding the front door was super cute and very loveable. Nothing
- Kee (10/5): Best stay in China by far - Location was great but the owner Wally was greater :). Very kind and helpful, he spend time explaining in details to all his guests individually about what to do and where they should go. Move our room to lower floor on our second night as we told him we were a little tired after two weeks of walking in China. Room is clean he even offer us free laundry use on upper floor which came in really handy . Nothing
- Ivan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maxime (9/5): Nice place - Nice little hotel managed by Wally. Located 5min from the Eastern park entrance, and 5min from the bus station, so super convenient. The bed was confortable, and the street is quiet. Wally was helpful and always available to answer my questions. I was backpacking and I really appreciated the option to do a laundry and to take a shower after my check-out, at the end of a long hot day in the park! It must be a pretty demanding job since Wally seems to be manning the place 24/7 so hats off to him. For breakfast there's a Chinese breakfast buffet for 15CNY next door, or Starbucks at the park entrance. The room is not in absolute perfect condition (one ceiling light was dead, hair dryer not attached to the wall, a hole in a towel...), so don't go expecting a 4-star hotel. But it's nothing bad in my opinion, for the price and the service I think you get great value here.
- Geoff (10/5): Exceptional - The Manager Makes it So - Wally organized our transfer. Thanks.
We arrived late due to late train. Wally was there to greet us and then organize our park (and day visit to Fenghuang) schedule for the next few days. This included booking train tickets. And so the service continued for our entire stay.
Great location, 10 minute walk to the park entrance. Super quick responses to Booking messages appreciated.
Super large room, really comfy bed, super quiet, great shower and very clean.
Free laundry a bonus. Water provided.
