This stay was absolutely sublime. Located peacefully in the heart of the mountains where you can see parts of the Great Wall, it’s the perfect base camp for those wishing to tackle one of the wonders of the world! Host Andrew and his wife were phenomenal in their hospitality. Super responsive from the moment the booking was made. We had originally booked a two-bedded room for three travellers (2 men & woman) and upon Andrew realising the make up of our group, he allowed us to have an additional room so everyone could sleep in their own bed, without charging us any extra cost. Andrew went above and beyond in his attempts to provide us with an authentic Chinese experience, personally recommending a lunch stop at a local Chinese restaurant neathe Mutianyu area following our Great Wall hike earlier that morning. He was very generous with his time, driving to the Beijing Capital Airport to pick us up despite our flight being delayed over 30 minutes and again to return us to the Beijing City Centre at the end of our stay (charging a competitive minimal fare relative to other rideshare options operating at that time). The homestay itself had all adequate facilities including wifi and was a short drive from the starting point of the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall, with Andrew providing complimentary car drop-off and pick-up service. Complimentary breakfast provided (and for those lucky enough, you may even be greeted by Andrew’s cute pets, a cat, kittens and a dog).
