Zhaohua·Tingzhu Homestay

Staff is very nice, bbq equipment will be provided. Rooms are clean.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Zhaohua Homestay, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the very beginning, the staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. They added us on WeChat a week prior to our arrival, where they promptly answered all our questions and even sent us detailed location information. This proactive communication made us feel welcomed and well-prepared for our stay. The homestay itself is just as beautiful as the pictures on their website. When we entered our room, we were immediately impressed by how cozy it felt. The temperature was perfectly set, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the room smelled clean and fresh, which was a lovely touch. One of the highlights of our stay was the hot spring water—soothing and warm, which was exactly what we needed given the unexpected snowy weather. In the evening, they kindly offered us hot milk or soup to help us unwind, and in the morning, a delicious Western breakfast with fresh orange juice was delivered right to our door. It was such a thoughtful and special touch. An added bonus was the stunning view from the courtyard, where we could see the Great Wall! The homestay is within walking distance of a less crowded area of the Great Wall, where we paid just 35 RMB per person to experience it. It was beautiful and peaceful, offering the perfect opportunity to truly admire the historic site without the usual crowds. The location itself is perfect for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The air is fresh, and at night, the stars are visible, adding to the tranquility of the area. It’s incredibly quiet, making it the ideal place to relax and recharge. Overall, I had an amazing experience at Zhaohua Homestay, and I would definitely visit again. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with exceptional service, breathtaking views, and a beautiful setting, this place is an absolute gem.

Overall disappointed with this hotel and would not recommend it. The location was decent, and the room itself was nice, but overall far too expensive for what you get. I was disappointed that several advertised amenities were not a reality. For example, they do not have private parking - they told me to park in the public lot down the street. The pool was closed - they said the temperature was too low(it's June and we're in a heatwave?). We could not use the fire pit - there was a drought(Beijing is almost always in a drought, so when can you use the pit??). The AC did not work well - the room got up to 26 degrees at night and the hosts kind of gaslit us saying we weren't using it right (we were). The wifi was spotty and the show we tried to watch had to stop and buffer multiple times. The hot tub had several dead insects and debris in it which took a while to clean before we could use it. The water pressure was not good and the shower head had a nozzle that shot water over the shower wall and got the floor all wet. I don't want to sound needy, and I know some of these things were not the hosts fault, but this was the most expensive stay we've booked in China after living here for 2 years and it was simply not worth the high price. If it was half the price we paid we maybe wouldn't have minded the flaws as much.

It was a really great experience. The Great Wall is right there. Few minutes walking. The rooms are superior than expected and also the service and breakfast. It really worth it. Trust it. Don't look for other accomodation. Hot spring in the room. Amazing.

The scenery surrounding this place was absolutely breathtaking but I think what put the cherry on top of this beautiful place was how accommodating and friendly the staff were. I decided to celebrate my 30th birthday here and the staff were kind enough to give us a free room upgrade and greet us with mulled wine. Because of the impeccable service we received we will continue to be repeat visitors. Could not recommend this place enough if you're just looking to get out of the city for a bit of peace and tranquility. Thank you again for providing me with a memorable birthday! 😊🙏

Tout était absolument parfait et j’espère que les propriétaires pourront lire cet avis. Nous avons séjourné ici en couple pendant 2 nuits. La propreté était impeccable, la nourriture délicieuse, l’environnement sublime, la décoration magnifique et le personnel extraordinaire. Merci à eux d’avoir pensé au moindre petit détail afin de rendre le séjour inoubliable. Les + : la portion de la muraille de Chine à côté du logement, les petits restaurants traditionnels alentour et le vin chaud avant de dormir ! Certes, nous n’avons pas eu de chance niveau météo, mais cela n’a pas altérait la qualité de notre séjour. Nous vous recommandons à 100%!
