Homestays in Beijing, China

Initially, a little hard to find as the location on trip.com map is inaccurate, but locals were very helpful in guiding me to the right building upon arrival Very attentive, helpful host - great value for money, would recommend for hikers after a long day at Jinshanling Nice places to eat in the town, and great bathroom and kitchen facilities included

Host is friendly and helpful. Booked a family room as we have 6pax. But the family was small for us and host offered another room at cheaper price. There's a weird sewage like smell in the family room. Only rain shower and no handle shower, the water out is not strong. Overall good 2 nights stay. Near USS, there's shuttle bus. We took e shuttle bus to USS but Didi back hotel coz the time to go back from USS have only 1 timing.

The location is excellent, making it convenient to go anywhere. There are subway and bus stops nearby, and taxis are easy to find. The homestay is very close to Sanlitun, just a few hundred meters away, making shopping convenient. There are also convenience stores and restaurants downstairs. The guesthouse has a beautiful view, and the price is very affordable for the area. The rooms are also very comfortable, with large TVs upstairs and downstairs, and a kitchen for simple cooking. We rented an eight-person room and stayed for seven days. A cleaning worker came to clean the room every day, and both adults and children were very satisfied. However, only the bathroom upstairs has a shower, which might be inconvenient for elderly people with mobility issues.

From the moment we arrived, the staff came out to greet us in such a friendly and welcoming manner. During check-in they added us to a WeChat group and provided lots of useful information to help make our stay enjoyable, including nearby restaurants and local attractions. We could speak enough Chinese to get by, but even if you only speak English it would still be manageable as one of the staff members speaks some English. If needed, using a translation app was never a problem because all of the staff were patient, friendly, and always willing to help. One thing that really stood out was that they disinfected the hot spring right in front of us before use, which was a really nice touch and made us feel reassured that everything was clean. The entire room was spotless, including the sauna room, shower and bathroom. They also provided free TV services for our child, which was great for relaxing in the evening. I went to get some beers from the front desk and they insisted we didn’t need to pay. Later on, there was free BBQ with complimentary food and drinks, which we were not expecting at all. The staff were amazing throughout the stay. They even helped look after our child while we were eating, and brought breakfast directly to our door when requested. Breakfast itself was excellent with a good variety of food. The only small thing was there wasn’t any juice available, but honestly it was such a minor issue that I completely forgot about it afterwards. The 阿姨 was incredibly warm and friendly, just a genuinely lovely person, along with the owners and the rest of the staff. Everyone made us feel truly looked after. This is honestly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. It’s also in a fantastic location — only around a 15-minute walk downhill to a quieter section of the Great Wall, and about a 20-minute taxi ride to Badaling Great Wall. When we left, they gave us dates as a way to say thank you for staying at their hotel and to welcome us back again in the future. I would highly recommend staying here and would happily return again.

We chose 'Sleep Lab Homestay' for our trip to Universal Studios, and it was truly an excellent experience! We booked a twin suite, which was incredibly practical. The bathroom had a double vanity sink, so two people could get ready simultaneously without any hassle – super convenient. There's also a sliding door between the two beds, allowing for privacy and undisturbed rest for each person, which was a huge plus. The homestay itself is a minimalist white building, looking clean and refreshing overall. Every spot is picture-perfect, making it easy to snap great photos. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a very peaceful night's sleep. We visited during the off-season, so the price was incredibly reasonable, offering fantastic value for money. Overall, it was a comfortable and affordable stay. I highly recommend this homestay for anyone visiting Universal Studios!

Highly, highly recommended!!! Our group of four climbed Dongling Mountain this morning, and the scenery was so beautiful we didn't want to go back to Beijing. On a whim, we wanted to find a hot spring hotel nearby where we could relax and soak, and we found this one. The scenery was absolutely stunning!!! The entire village has excellent red-themed architecture and a very positive atmosphere. Even the small village museum's 3D video was quite good, creating a great ambiance, and in the morning, you could see the iconic red star right outside your window!! And the best part? The hot spring was incredibly relaxing! Enjoying a barbecue in the misty mountains, listening to the rain while soaking in the hot spring… friends, it was indescribably comfortable!! The owner and the manager were very kind, providing us with free breakfast. After breakfast, we immediately bought two jars of the same fermented bean curd online—it was so delicious, hahaha! In short, a perfect recommendation, we will definitely go again!!!

Great Location and a Very Helpful Host, but Bathroom Drainage Needs Improvement The location is fantastic! It is very close to the metro station and conveniently located in the iQiyi building. Overall, it was a good stay, except for a few issues. First, the sink was clogged and the window couldn't be locked. However, as soon as I informed the host, they took action and fixed both issues immediately. Excellent host! The main problem, however, was the bathroom floor. The drain was severely clogged, and the water would pool up and not dry even after leaving it overnight. I informed the host, and they advised us to shower inside the bathtub and make sure the shower curtain was fully closed. We did exactly as instructed, but the water still flooded the floor. I didn't want to argue or complain about the same thing twice, so I just let it be. On the bright side, the hospitality was great. The host cleaned the room, changed the towels, and replenished the mineral water every single day. They even helped me receive my Taobao deliveries! Overall, it was an okay stay, but it would have been perfect if not for the bathroom floor drainage issue.

We had the most amazing stay! The hotel went above and beyond! He helped us order food and translate made sure we had everything we needed when we left to Explore. We were checking out earlier than when he makes the breakfast and asked what time he would have it ready so we were fed. so he had it ready at 6:30 in the morning. we’ve never had a hotel yes beyond in every detail! we will recommend this hotel to everyone we know. they even welcomed us with fruit and dessert, plates and yummy drinks. and every night gave us more amazing drinks before bed.

Hotel was very clean. Was in a good location where it was near a lot of bus lines and some grocery stores. Excellent view from the city in where I was at. Washer was very good in how it washes the clothing well. Clothesline is in an excellent area in her house near the kitchen where it dries the clothes very quick in like 2 days! The owner can be a little shady at times as well as her workers that works for her. I really didn't like how she moved me back and forth to her other house on the 2nd and 3rd days of my stay back to the first house on the first day, under the story that I was a special guests. More like she is trying to get maximum usage of the room that I was in where she was able to move me to her dingy house which wasn't being occupied by anyone at the moment. It was very disruptive where I couldn't go out sighseeing very well on those days. Thank god this was done to me when I was already on the last week of my trip where I didn't need to travel to anymore famous attraction in Beijing and was ready to leave. I really hated the way that I was feeling like I was being rushed by her younger 2nd worker with the bleached brown hair to hurry up and pack to move to the other house. I felt really irritated by him at times! Her other worker was friendly and ok. I really wanted to do it by myself and then move to the other house. She also gave me a bunch of torn and tattered bills when she gave me back my deposit. What is with that? I am mad with her but yet feel sorry for her that she has to do multiple businesses to survive like cleaning other people's clothing and a grocery store because of her economic situation where she is forced to do these underhanded tactics to survive as well as most other people in China that have to deal with a similiar situation. Hopefully we won't have to live in a world like this soon that is so cruel.

The room was spacious and clean, and the heating was excellent. The bath towels even came in plastic packaging, showing great attention to hygiene. My kids absolutely loved the in-room play facilities, and the children's play area at the front desk was also fantastic. The front desk staff, especially the ladies, were very enthusiastic and had a great attitude. Highly recommend for family trips! ⌯oᴗo⌯
