    Low water pressure in shower.

    Property sits on top of mountain with wonderful views and good restaurant. Car ride up hill is necessary due to steepness.

    Lighting in the apartment could have been better. But that’s being really picky.

    Great location, friendly staff. Very relaxed, beers and food on the deck with a view of the wall!

    The drive up the steep hill is not easy and you cannot walk up and down it without great effort. Some Didi drivers refused to go up all the way. Also, know your prices because the staff tried to price gouge me and charge 100 yuan for 10 small bottles of water and 100 yuan for a 30 yuan Didi ride.

    The view from the property is really great and there are cool viewing platforms near the restaurant and coffee shop.

    The view is wonderful, the room spacious with a great terrace. However it looks like the staff is running the hotel by themselves without a professional management team. Also you need a car because the hotel is on the top of a hill. We still had a nice time but it is too expensive for what it is. The staff was very friendly & kind.

    The staff was very helpful but cannot speak English so that complicated things slightly when some support was needed and there is no room cleaning during the stay

    Very nice place with a very good view of the great wall, the room is very spacey and well equipped, a good place to have a "city d-tox" with good privacy

    - no hot shower. - the room is cold (no central heating). - slippery trails (no stairs from one room to the next). - pricey food. - sheer almost-see-through curtains.

    - secluded modern and chic cabin. - friendly and helpful local staff and receptionists. - a breathtaking view. - balcony surrounded with greenery. - pet friendly room. - room interior design.

    Good location, but has a long way from luxury stay

    • Double Room with Mountain View

    - Reception area looks not maintained & generally ugly compared to the rooms - rooms have plenty of small-ish stuff which are in need of repairs (broken window, lights not holding properly) - dirty windows in the room - staff is mixed story - feeling wise like village home stay - will all good and bad it comes with. People are smiling, trying to help - but chaotic, not talking to each other, noisy,..). - overall place would benefit from some professional touch/management - it has a big potential to be a luxury place, but at this point it’s a luxury wannabe … still worth to stay for the view though.

    - Location on the mountain is nice - we got bad luck with pollution & limited visibility, but if you get clear sky day - view from this place will be great. - fun road to the hotel - very steep; make sure you go there with car; I’d not want to walk that with luggage - interior of the room was quite modern looking & nice + clean; even though lacked some basic maintenance - restaurant is good (Chinese local oily & salty food, but good)…if you’re in location longer, you’ll probably want to run away for some foreign food (+ expensive beer, get some in convenience stores along the road)

    Unforgettable. The perfect location to set up for an enjoyable day on the Great Wall.

    Information on transportation both to and from Beijing and to the Wall itself. We paid 500 Y for the taxi to the hotel because the Didi App couldn't locate the hotel. It only cost 125 Y coming back by Didi which worked fine when we were there. Perhaps the hotel could do something to provide cheaper transportation and particularly support drivers who don't mind tackling the formidable driveway, which is both steep and long.

    While the price was a little high compared to other places of this standard, you cannot beat it for its location and the serenity of the environment that it is situated within. The staff are great and do their best to make sure that you have what you need and when you need it. The views from the room, if it isn't foggy, are simply stunning and time seems to stand still when you are staying there. Stan kindly provided us with transport to and from the Great Wall and this helped to set up a wonderful day for us.

    Very poor

    Room was very, very moldy. Bed clothes and towels smelt of mold, also all the windows didn't open so it was impossible to move the smell of mold. They at first refused to move us saying that we needed to pay more. They also said that the mold was due to the weather, but the truth is the room just should not have been up for rent. After quite a lot of back and forth we got moved to different room and left a day early. The communication between the staff was very poor, they didn't seem to communicate at all which added to the stress of the situation. Breakfast is cheap, but there isn't much options.

    Great location, right beside Mutianyu.
