“Gets An Extra Star On Location Because Of The Views”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Pros: + The rooms are finished very well and have fantastic views of The Great Wall, on a clear day. + Cafe-style food was delicious, if a touch expensive. + Staff were always very friendly and polite. + A courtesy car is arranged to take you to the entrance of the Wall. You can then get one back to The... More

“Environmental Friendly Stay on the Great Wall”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Gorgeous blue skies, delicious food, relaxing yoga and a wonderful overnight experience at the Great Wall! We just returned from a 24 hour stay - in the fresh air of Beijing. Who would have thought:) Cannot say enough......

“so much for my happy, relaxing experience”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

First of all, I would like to say that we enjoyed the wonderful scenery around Brickyard. 1. Our room was fine with lovely views over the hills but may lack a bit of Chinese characteristic. 2. One of your English-speaking staff sounded so 'dragged out', bored, and unenthusiastic on the phone when I was trying to make a booking. I... More

Our intern from the USA who took your booking call has asked me to apologize to you but he had no idea at all he was... More

The perfect location from which to explore the Great Wall. Excellent service and unique accommodation. A must for anyone traveling to Beijing who wants to escape the crowds and enjoy part of China's heritage.

“Not exactly a "Retreat"”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

My husband and I came into the Great Wall area hopeful for a retreat from the busy and polluted city. While the environment was definitely rustic, the stay was a little less than pleasurable. Pros: 1. Service and attitude of employees were great. Extremely courteous. 2. Free tea/coffee, soft drinks and snacks at the Lodge 3. Fresh air 4. Cute... More

“Away from the crowds”

Reviewed 20 April 2013 via mobile

We spent a night at The Pavillion, a house/hotel that is part of the Brickyard. It has a large main bedroom in a renovated old house. Beautiful! Then there is another annex with a double bedroom, a kitchen, and a fire place with exceptional views of the Great Wall. Wow! Breathtaking. An added benefit is that there are fewer tourists... More

“Peerless”

Reviewed 14 April 2013

Bringing out of town guests to the Great Wall always included a visit to Mutianyu with a late lunch at the Schoolyard. I had heard about the Brickyard Retreat and read about it in a few magazines. I was expecting a converted bed and breakfast that blended into a village - a relaxing spot that would strive to excel and... More

Very friendly, family run place with amazing views of the great wall! We loved staying here with our two small kids and using it as a basis from which to explore the surroundings. It was nice to allow a little extra time because on the first two days we couldn't see a thing, then when the fog finally cleared we... More

“Mixed Feeling”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

Brickyard is very well located for enjoying the Great Wall at Matianyu. The shuttle to the Great Wall is extremely useful. The staffs are friendly. The room is clean and comfortable but the design is nothing to write home about. What I love the most about the place is the cozy fireplace and ultra comfy lounge chairs in the lobby... More

Dear jj388, This is Jim Spear, one of the partners and owners of the Brickyard. We met during your spa package visit and I was sorry to learn then about the service issues you raised and took steps to address them reasonably and fairly.
