If you are used to 5 star hotel accommodation and this is what you are expecting you may be a little dissapointed however to compensate what you will find at this hotel is a unique experience: Access to a private and unrestored section of the great wall with spectacular tourist free views of the Wall, It is a short walk...

The service is pretty good, the food is ok but the location, and the different room and building types are terrific. We were able to access the "old" unrestored wall from the propery and is was awe inspiring to hike it.

Stayed there for 2 days / nights for conference. The concept of individual houses with shared common living room is really unique and impresses. Rooms are just big enough - not good though, i suppose, if you travel with small children. Great location - walking distance (a bit of a hike) to Great Wall. Food is ok'ish - hardly any... More

Amazing place! The villa's are all based on the original designs, great architecture, Most houses have about 4 rooms, so best would be to go with a group and then you have your own private house! The walk up to the Wall is beautiful. It is very unique to be alone on the wall so close to Beijng. And it... More

The architecture of the buildings is amazing. The wall in the commune is old and it's a 10-15 min hike to get there. Once you're up it's an amazing... More

The first impression is a 8th wonder of the world. The whole place is just exclusive, at anytime there can only be 100 guests in the resort. The Great Wall is like 10 min walk away and u literally r staying next to it. Going up the Wall, standing out alone overlooking the great plain is so humbling. It is... More

The reviews on tripadvisor are very mixed - this is a "love it or loathe it" kind of place. I loved it. The drive from Beijing airport at 11pm was extraordinary. Three lanes of trucks travelling at 20kmh the whole way! I was too tired to be tired, just stunned at a traffic jam of trucks at midnight.... On the... More

Stayed here October 18 - 22 inclusive as part of a regional meeting. Pros - The concept is brilliant, and the access to a remotely visited part of the Great Wall is a bonus. The Cons - Service. - 30 minute check in ...I was the only person there. It was already evident from here that language was going to... More
