Commune By The Great Wall -The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

The location is good but it’s not so close to The Great Wall as I thought. If you are planning to go in the winter season think twice, the heat system is not enough and the portable heater they can land is enough only to heat very close to the bed.

I booked a 2 bedroom suite using the Hyatt app and although the rooms were nice, I’d recommend perhaps booking 2 connecting rooms instead and not use the Hyatt app at all. More on that later. If you drive here, the lobby is near the front of the property and you’d want to leave your luggage in the car until you get assigned a villa. There is also buggy service if you came using a different mode of transport. ||We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy at check-in. We were provided a map and given a directions to find our villa and sent on our way. The first thing we did after check in was jump in the outdoor pool. Although the pool was nice, I felt like it’s a bit small for a property this size.||So back to the rooms. There are so many different styles of villas in this resort that I’d recommend you view all the options prior to booking. Perhaps use Trip.com or any OTA. I personally would have chosen a bamboo room had I known that’s an option and skipped the suite which I felt was a bit cold and had really no views. That’s on me.||As far as our overall stay, I can’t say enough good things about the staff here: from the front desk, management, breakfast hosts, drivers. Everyone was so friendly! ||Finally, the property grounds were so tranquil. I’d definitely recommend an early morning hike on one of their marked trails to start your day. Finally, pro tip: Skip the Badaling Great Wall and just go to another access point which is 5 min from the resort.

I have wanted to visit The Commune Great Wall when it was first opened many years ago but never had the chance until now. Everything exceed my expectations. There's even a lovely lady at the reception desk who speaks must better Cantonese than my Mandarin! The dinner came a bit slow but of good quality！ the buffet breakfast is even greater!

I had wanted to visit this place when it was first open some 20 years ago but just missed it. Now l come as a tourist but to my mind, it is still iconic. We were not able to book the posher bigger houses but these rooms suites are just as nice. There is a girl at the reception desk who is very friendly and helpful. She speaks better Cantonese than my Mandarin. I would like to come again in not so cold days!!

One of my favore spot in beijing. With Hyatt service is the just the best getaway from beijing. I feel even far away you are in good hand. :) The golden autumn just so beautiful .

After an hour's journey from Beijing International airport, we arrived and were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful, peaceful and natural surroundings. The architecture of each villa was different and contributed to the serenity and privacy of the whole place.||It is necessary to have your own car as the Commune is in a secluded place with no public transportation.||||The room was clean, spacious and bed was very comfortable. There was adequate supply of amenities.||||The breakfast had a good spread and the food quality was excellent. We were very impressed with the service. The staff was always courteous to meet our needs.||There is a choice of visiting many good quality local restaurants in the valley. ||||It was truly an unforgettable experience!It is definitely a great place for either a personal or family retreat.One felt safe, refreshed and satisfied.

Theres not much to do around. The menu is completely Chinese. Nothing western. Same as the drinks. The staff is literally 4 people, which makes things quite difficult in case you need assistance. When we arrive to the hotel, the check in said 3pm but they only gave us our room around 4:30! The said they gave us an upgrade for the delay. Our room had a balcony, which was locked when we arrived. It took about 1 hour for someone to come and open the door from the balcony. The pool was closed also…they said they only open the pool around July! We were clearly in summer when we decided to book so the weather was perfect for a pool day but they didn’t have it available.

If you can be touched from a good opera or ballet, you will love this place. If you go for the reason of selfie in the modern hall, you will probably be disappointed. This place is magical, if you have the quality to understand.
