Beijing Yuanzhu Xiaoshe Villa

Good service and recommend when you travel to Gubei Wtown

Good location near to the ticket office, room is nice and the view from the balcony is super great specially at night when i can see the great wall..

Beautiful place and very good attention! You need a car for going to water town (not walking distance)

Don't book this unless you want to be stranded and left without accommodation. The booking is completely misleading as the villa is nothing like it's advertised. We thought we booked a room in the villa as this was the name of the booking and the address and amenities mentioned in the booking on Trip.com. However, it turned out the room was in a completely different location and building and had none of the amenities it said it would in our bookings. After mentioning this to the owner,板筋, he argued and quickly started shouting at us. Before we knew it he cancelled the reservation and left the us without saying another word. We did not get a refund and he kept the money for the reservation. While Trip.com tried to be helpful, they couldn't get our money back, even though the information on their website was absolutely incorrect.

The place is clean, spacious and look exactly like how depicted in the pictures. Check in is easy with check in code, host is very responsive. The location is right next to water town that we could walk to water town and Great Wall. However it’s gated community. Our Didi and Taxi couldn’t go inside due to locked gate. We had to walk all the way to the parking lot outside to get Didi.

This accommodation accepts foreigners. After booking this place, tried to contact owner via WeChat with contact provided, but owner never added me until I needed to text in Chinese from my phone (using translator). When arrived to the location he sent me on a map, I received directions to find the apartment myself. We never once met the owner of the property. All conversations using Wechat were in Chinese (me using translator). The little studio was clean when we arrived, but later at night was full of loud insects that we had to eliminate in order to sleep. The bed was very hard not comfortableat all. The kitchen was supposed to have everything available to make meals (at least was what I have read in previous reviews) but in reality had nothing, not even a spoon. It was a very simple place, a bit expensive for what you get.
