    The hostel exceeded my expectations, it was like a 3 star hotel. Very clean, specious room. The location was great, 10min walk to the Great Chinese wall entrance. The host was really polite and always responded to our questions promptly. She did try her very best to assist with everything she could even with her limited knowledge of English.

    Personally, I guess I'm not a fan of the traditional Chinese breakfast, but it was nice experience to try it, anyway.

    Cosy room adjacent to a semi-heated courtyard. The heated floors in the room were AMAZING! Outside -10, inside toasty +20. And I mean, the floor was actually almost hot.

    Could not pay AMEX even though it was booked like that on booking.com, fortunately had different card to pay, but minor inconvenience

    Even though the 2 ladies did not speak english, they were wery helpful. You wont get service like that in a hotel.

    Nothing. I loved everything about it.

    It was a bit noisy at night time. It didn't get quiet until about 11pm. Normally, this wouldn't have been a problem but I wanted an early night to get up a race the next day.

    Host was very friendly and helpful. I went for the great Wall marathon and he even gave me a lift to the venue the next morning.

    it‘s sweet place, the staff was super nice and it was easy to get around. Also, it was no problem to check-in as foreigners and the heating in the room was good as it had a floor heating. The main hall was rather cold, but they put on an oven for us. It can be reached easily from the train station and it’s less than a 5 minutes walk into the “old” town. we totally recommend this place.

    A great place for an overnight visit from Beijing.

    The rooms are very small. They are fine for one or two guests, but a too small for a family. Next time we will book two rooms. Also, the lobby was not heated and too cold to relax in it during the winter.

    This is such a quaint hotel. The lobby is simply delightful. The proprietors were very helpful and knew how to use a translator to communicate with guests that do not speak Chinese. The location is perfect and within walking distance to the Great Wall. The room rate is very affordable.

    There was perhaps a damp smell in our room, and it was pretty cold. This didn’t detract from the stay though.

    This is a beautiful, traditional courtyard house transformed into a hostel. The covered courtyard in the centre is a tranquil, communal space complete with the relaxing sounds of a fish pond in the centre. The bedrooms I saw all led off from the courtyard, each complete with its own bathroom. Sunny and crew- including their gorgeous little pet schnauzer- are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome and at home. Finally, the location was fantastic: it was a 10 minute walk to the cable cars that take you up to Badaling, and from there you can enjoy a 2 hour walk down the wall to come off it at the Bear park entrance. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Very well decorated, full of plants, with nice Chinese ornaments. Wonderful location! Walking distance to Badaling Great Wall. We walked everyday to go eat at Subway, KFC, Dico and other options in the Badaling food court area. The Badaling train station (not bullet train) is only 200m away from the hostel. Tickets to Beijing costs surprisingly cheap, only 7RMB per person. My kids and I liked The Great Wall Courtyard so much that we decided to stay an extra day. I recommended this place to friends and would definitely stay there again!

    We did not plan it well so we spent too much time and money on the travelling in and out between Ba Da ling and Beijing. We should have stayed few days to enjoy the scenery.

    I like to room, the heater is on the floor so we can stay warm. The property is very near to Great wall. With the good planning we can stay more days and enjoying the Great wall
