Perfect 😍
Great hostel super lovely lady running it, good food and very easy to walk to the Great Wall from it
This was an incredible way to experience the Great Wall!! Hostel is beautiful, everything is so clean and Rachel is wonderful. Very close to the train station so it’s easy to get to and from Beijing. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
great hostel! owner is so sweet and helpful, it’s just a 10min walk away from the Gubeikou to Jinshanling section of the great wall. would recommend staying there two nights and doing the hike on the full day. veggie food she cooks is really good! bathrooms and rooms are super clean and really nice (heated toilet seat hahah). 6 really cats make it perfect ◡̈ first night there was only one more guest staying there so it wasn’t very social, but second night more people came which was great
Booked this place after the great reviews and exactly what I was looking for. Quiet house located in traditional village right next to the start to the Gubeikou leading into then Jinshanling Great Wall walk (7-9hrs) The host Xiao Wei is extremely nice and helpful, even helped me get a driver to get me home late at night when taxis and didi’s had stopped. Super clean, the host was cleaning and scrubbing every day and delicious home cooked organic vegetarian meals were a bonus! Would to come bac...
If you're wondering if it's worth staying here the answer is an absolute yes. The lady there took such good care of us we felt sad leaving so early. Thank you for everything!! We will miss you and the cats deeply.
This is probably my favourite hostel I have ever stayed in :) the location is very peaceful and is excellent for access the great wall from Gubeikou, the staff are so lovely, the facilities are amazing and I would definitely reccomend getting breakfast and dinner here as it is a family style event which really adds to the chill social vibe :) 10/10!!
Great for hiking the Great Wall, made friends here over the dinners, would recommend!
Wonderful hostel next to the Great Wall. The staff were amazing and offered breakfast and dinner which was amazing! I met lots of people there, if you message, they will arrange a pick up from Gubeikou station for around 10-20 yuan. Amazing hostel.
Small and very homely homestay. Amazing location, you only 5 minutes drive from gubeikou train station and you can hike straight onto the wall, along to the Jinshanling section.
such a great experience! i highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit the wall in a unique way without the crowds
This hostel has a very homely vibe!! Really enjoyed my stay here and the host Rachel was one of the nicest hosts we have had, also the meals she offered were really tasty and convenient. Great location for walking the wall. Rachel also provided us with instructions on which route to follow which was really helpful :)
Had a great couple days here. The lady in charge was wonder. Very attentive and helpful. The meals she cooked were all vegetarian, if your a meat eater don’t let put you off, they were delicious and plenty of it. About 6 different dishes per meal. The hostel itself was spotlessly clean, with great shared facilities. Our room a private double was tastefully decorated and came with air con, both hot and cold and a lovely heated floor. Atmosphere was spot on. Totally recommend this hostel.
An excellent place to stay for hiking the Great Wall. Warm comfy beds, hot showers, heated toilets, clean facilities, and the kindest staff. They provide all you need including meals and transportation to/from the train station. Would recommend to anyone wanting a unique immersive experience in the mountains away from the city.
Best hostel to discover the Great Wall!
Lady’s were extremely helpful and friendly, could not recommend enough. Great facilities also, super cozy.
Brilliant hostel out of Beijing in the peaceful Gubeikou and very close to The Great Wall! The staff were so accommodating and helped me to get the train there and even picked me up from the station. Very cozy vibe and comfortable and clean rooms.
Great place to stay in Gubeikou. The ladies picked us up at the station, then explained everything about the hike on the Great Wall. We had a dinner they prepared with the veggies from the village (vegetarian dishes only, they were really good). Showers are clean, there is soap, shampoo and conditioner, which is nice in a hostel. Nice vibes with the other people at the hostel. Big common area. There are 3 cats living there, which are very cute. Definitely recommend!
A great place to stay if you want to tour the Great Wall. The hosts are very nice and always ready to help. The common area has a very cozy feeling including three extremely cute and fluffy cats!!
One of the best hostels that I've ever stayed at and definitely the best in china. The managers are some of the nicest and warmest women I've ever met. They definitely made me feel at home. The hostel itself is super clean and cozy and has a really social vibe. Everyone is there to hike and people do the hike together. It is also an amazing place if you want to visit the wall in a more rural area and do a more serious hike.
