Hotels near Huánghuāchéng Great Wall Lakeside Reserve

"This is a great spot to explore a beautiful section of the Great Wall out of the hustle and bustle of Beijing. We were at the hotel on Labour Day (1 May to 5 May) which is typically a very busy time in China for all major attractions. The hotel and village were not overcrowded at all which was great. The Great Wall is a 20 to 25 minute walk from the hotel to the ticket purchasing area. The hotel also offers a free shuttle to the ticket purchasing area. We got to the Great Wall at around 8:30am on 2 separate days to beat the tour bus crowds. The Great Wall was a highlight and was not overcrowded."

"Staying at this “home stay” was a great experience. The staff was very eager to please. It was so helpful to have them pick us up from Beijing in a very comfortable car and then drive us back after our stay. If you want to see the wall with almost no crowds, stay here. We arrived and did the cable car side in the afternoon. Our host advised this (and arranged for all tickets at no extra charge) as this side would be less crowded in the afternoon. He was right. We got up early and went to the other side at opening. It was amazing to climb the wall nearly alone. Phenomenal. Our family has wonderful, lifetime memories. Highly recommended!!"

"This was a beautiful homestay! The owner was lovely and very helpful explaining everything to us, good basic english aswell. The room was lovely and clean and it was only a 7 minute walk to the great wall! Highly recommend "

"The manager Vivien was amazing and so supportive with English, booking tickets, getting taxis, sharing directions and helping with shopping and dining. Simply can’t thank her and the staff enough. Most amazing experience for a non Chinese speaking traveller in a very non English speaking location that is close to ski fields and the Great Wall of China. Simply amazing "

"Excellent in every way. Staff is attentive and go above and beyond, facilities are beautiful and well upkept, and the location is peaceful and serene, yet still convenient. We will definitely book again when we visit Beijing in the future. "

"Really vlose to the main entrance to the Great Wall."

"I prepaid a three day’s room which includes half board (dinner included). When I checked in, the front desk even did not mention the arrangement of three days’ dinner. Until I presented the reservation details, the front desk asked me to go to room first and wait for the call. Then I received two calls from hotel to ask me cancel the online orders and pay cash to front desk. I said NO, it is nonrefundable. The kitchen called me soon for food service for 2 adults and 1 kid? I corrected that there is only one adult. I can only choose three dishes, I can not order from the menu, so I denied. I ended up with eat nothing from hotel, I had to order a take out. The second day, I tried to solve this issue. Three days half board dinner I paid is equal to 1.7 room price. So I asked hotel to give me just 2 more days stay, I feel it is fair to both sides because it comes back and forth 8 times. The hotel denied my proposal. I asked for refund, the hotel denied again. Finally I called China National Platform of Consumer Dispute Hotline 12315. 12315 informed Yanqing District’s Cultural Tourism Bureau of Beijing to process this issue, it works. The manager called me soon to offer 2 more days free stay, BUT I must agree this issue is over, I agreed. In addition, the breakfast were same everyday, only 3 vegetable dish, 3 meat dishes, noodles are overcooked etc. The services of hotel’s reservation department, front desk, dinner, breakfast and manager’s response are not professional."

"Great place, service, yard. Staff are very helpful."

"The hotel and room are nice. Breakfast is so so. Too far to the city center."
