Perfect Gubei Water Town Stay! This boutique villa was amazing—clean, cozy, and just steps from the scenic area. Loved the comfy room, great amenities (parking, pet-friendly!), and lovely views. The host was helpful too. Highly recommend!

great breakfast--- both asian and western. we were able to start our hike with full bellies. The bed were very comfortable and spacious. when we arrived it was 0C and the heat worked great!

I had a fantastic stay at this guesthouse, where I was hosted by kind and welcoming owners. The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated, but it was the owners who made my stay so unforgettable. They helped with transport to/from the Great Wall, even when I wanted to leave early in the morning, and cooked delicious food too! I would highly recommend their home to anyone visiting gubeikou.

We had an amazing stay here the villa is gorgeous and the staff are very nice, perfect place to stay to see the Great wall definitely recommend this place! could spend a few days here

I loved the people. They were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thank you so much for your help, advice, transfers and friendliness !!

Amazing location, super helpful staff went above and beyond for us, and we got a great traditional chinese dinner and a lovely european breakfast for a decent price. Amazing access to parts of the wall where you wont be drowning in a sea of tourists - we hardly met anyone while hiking it.

The entire process from booking to check-in went very smoothly. The landlord is very good. Contact the arrival time in advance and send a special car to pick up the station

We were extremely happy with our decision to stay at this lovely family-run accommodation. The hosts were exceptionally kind and helpful. We were welcomed with warm smiles and a basket of fresh fruit, and on the day of our departure—when we were running a little late—they even offered us a free ride to the bus station. Such genuine kindness truly made our stay special. Our room was spotless, beautifully decorated, cozy, and perfect for a good night’s sleep. The beds were very sturdy and comfortable. The whole place has a peaceful family-home atmosphere, and it’s clear that the owners take great pride in keeping everything clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The property is set in a quiet little village with a couple of nice family-run restaurants just a short walk away. It’s about a 20-minute walk to Beijing Wtown and the bus station along a quiet paved path by the river. The walk is lovely, with beautiful nature views, and there’s even a small riverside park with towers and sculptures that light up beautifully in the evenings—great for photos. If you prefer not to walk, there are plenty of Didi drivers available at any time, and the ride to the accommodation costs only 10–14 RMB. For travelers coming from Beijing, I highly recommend taking the direct bus, which costs 48 RMB per person and takes around two hours to reach the Water Town Bus Station (cash only). The bus leaves from Dongzhimen Outer Bus Station (东直门外) at 09:00 and 13:00, and returns from Water Town at 12:00 and 17:00. Just wait beside the brown signboard that lists all departure times. Beijing Wtown itself is absolutely stunning—full of canals, traditional architecture, small cafés, restaurants, and even boat rides that glide through the waterways, making the whole place feel like a fairytale village. In the evening, when the lights come on, the scenery becomes truly magical. At 20:40 there is a drone show with the illuminated Great Wall in the background, which is unforgettable.
