Haojia Farm House

The homestay is situated a little further in the south part of Gubeikou. It is really quiet and it has nice little inner garden. The rooms are basic but for the price very reasonable. They do have rooms with arco. The family is very helpful and kind. We had no trouble with the communication.

Comfortable and lovely stay with happy hosts. We love the real local feel of the place. From their courtyard you could see a tower of the Great Wall too. We arrived in town in the evening after walking down from the Great Wall. It was getting dark and we couldn't find the place. We didn't have internet access and couldn't make a call. We only had a rough map and picture of the place printed from Trip.com which was not quite enough after dark, ha ha. Fortunately we found someone who knew the place, so they phoned the place up for us. Soon the landlady came to meet us with a happy face. Their hospitality was genuine. Language was not a problem, translation app was more than sufficient. After checking in, my daughter wanted to go out to get something at the entrance of the village. It was late in the evening, the landlady was concerned so she offered to go out with her, how very kind! When we stayed, there were no other guests. We had a good sleep, warm shower with comfy and clean beds. We asked for breakfast. The price was reasonable at 15 CNY per person. The breakfast was simple but delicious and plenty; the host kept topping everything up until we couldn't eat anymore! There's a bus to the train station at 9 AM but we enjoyed the breakfast too much so it was doubtful if we'd get to the bus stop in times. The host was concerned we might miss the train and suggested we took a taxi and helped calling one for us. The price was very reasonable and of course the driver came with a happy face too! All in all it was a lovely experience. We'd stay here again.
