“ Really lovely hostel with great staff. It's a little adventure getting to the hostel itself but worth it for a rural look at the wall and town in China. Absolutely freezing in the winter, -6 when we were there! The bathroom was great and room lovely. Just very cold in the dorm, even though there was 2 heaters it was a big room so still freezing, especially at night. Apart from that a great hostel, great staff and the food was a little pricey but really tasty! ”

“ We booked this hostel just because it got awesome ratings and everyone raved about the hike along the wall, so we decided to adjust our trip to Beijing to allocate heading north to this hostel and it was WELL WORTH IT!

“ If you want an amazing experience on a secluded part of the great wall, this is the place to go! It is roughly a 3 hour commute from Beijing by bus but entirely worth it! Amazing staff, the family meal was out of this work and the grounds were very clean and very homey. Sophie was an amazing guide and took some really fun pictures of us hiking up to the wall. It was a wonderful experience and I would do it again in a second. ”

“ Characterful hostel with lovely accomodating hosts. This is a great place to see the Great Wall, it's quaint and certainly not overrun by tour busses and day tourists. Great hiking options at different levels, the staff can advise. Can get a little chilly at night, but enough blankets are provided for. Loved the communal dinners with nice home cooked food and met some interesting fellow diners. The many cats roaming around add to the atmosphere of the hostel. ”
