Villas to Rent in Beijing

"Great apartment. Everything you need is there already, like soap, toothbrush, toilet paper etc, but there is also everything you need to do some simple cooking- very useful! The location was perfect, a 10 minute walk to taxi drop off (the whole town is pedestrianised) and about 5 minutes to Simatai Great Wall ticket entrance and the entrance to Gubei water town attraction. Good restaurants about 5 minutes away too and they are cheap. The apartment is cosy and there are 3 balconies to choose from if you want to relax in the sun! This would also be a very safe and comfortable place to stay with young children. I was very happy that the host also provided a lot of drinking water. It's useful to know that the apartment is inside a bigger apartment complex, just enter through the first gate as you approach from the town and maybe add the host on WeChat before you arrive so you can communicate easily. There are lots of small shops selling food and drinks nearby. The back balcony has a dreamy view of the Great Wall. Enjoy!"

"Extremely satisfied with our stay. The villa is on the ground floor, which was super convenient with a parking spot right outside. Plus, there's a State Grid charging station less than 100 meters away. It was perfect for our family of five with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of the bedrooms even had a tatami mat, and both beds could be pushed together! The owner, a very genuine Inner Mongolian, was incredibly kind. He immediately gave us a large bottle of mineral water, recommended restaurants, suggested tour routes and timings, and even helped us book breakfast. The service felt like it deserved 120 points, I highly recommend staying here! Turning left out of the villa, the entrance to Gubei Water Town is closer than walking to the small park across the street from my house!"

"Oh dear, I came with high expectations to experience your establishment's ”Japanese Garden,” and what an eye-opener it was! The ”utterly faithful” recreation is simply astonishing – the serene dry landscape and exquisite stone lanterns pictured in the photos were, in reality, just a few weathered, broken chairs standing forlornly, embodying a profound ”wabi-sabi” aesthetic! Ah, this minimalist beauty, I finally understand; it's simply that we common folk lack the refined taste to appreciate it. The bathroom experience was even more ”Zen-like”! The showerhead delivered water in a mere trickle, and the hot water was exceedingly tardy, requiring guests to wait patiently with a devout heart. Craving a truly refreshing shower? Don't rush; this is the owner's meticulously designed ”slow living” segment, allowing you to contemplate life amidst the sound of dripping water. As for bottled mineral water? Oh, for a ”high-end” establishment like yours, advocating for environmental protection, bringing your own reusable water bottle is clearly the correct approach! Mosquitoes? Those are merely proof of the garden's ecological friendliness, a complimentary ”natural spa” – why spoil the fun by mentioning them? The most ”splendid” part, however, was browsing the owner's replies! Wow! What a master of debate, churning out witty remarks one after another! Their attitude towards negative reviews was even tougher than our ”wabi-sabi” chairs! After reading the owner's eloquent responses, I instantly realized that low water pressure in the shower was no longer an issue, as the ”high-pressure” impact on one's psyche is far greater! This service attitude truly makes one feel ”at home” – specifically, making you eager to rush back home. The 300+ price tag was unremarkable, so I'll give it a 3-star rating, just to make a point."

"The rooms were beautifully decorated. What really stood out was the guesthouse's complimentary pre-booked shuttle service. This was a huge plus because parking at all the local tourist attractions is paid, and with so many visitors and vehicles around, finding a free spot is virtually impossible. What's more, their shuttle isn't one of those large, crowded vans where everyone is packed in; instead, it's a private car service, exclusively for one family or party at a time. The staff were all incredibly helpful. The restaurant they recommended through their group chat was also fantastic. We arrived in the evening and went straight to the restaurant. The grilled skewers were absolutely delicious – truly expertly prepared! We visited the scenic spots on our second day, and on our third day, we even went back to the same restaurant for lunch to have more skewers, haha! We didn't head home until after we'd finished our meal. This guesthouse is indeed excellent, and we'll definitely book it again on our next visit!"

"Live in a very comfortable homestay! Last time I lived in Jingxinju, there was a restaurant downstairs, and it was very convenient to eat. This time, I brought the elderly to the Osmanthus building, which has a wide view and is very quiet at night!"

"The room is clean and well equipped with good facilities and equipment. There is also a game console on the first floor. Children who are tired from walking will be energetic immediately. It is very close to the scenic spot and is suitable for a family of four or more people!"

"Nearby Attractions: Gubei Water Town, a 5-minute walk from the entrance. Parking: Gubei Water Town Parking Lot, 25 yuan per use. Amenities: Plenty of hot water, refrigerator, air conditioning, TV, comfortable bed, spacious room. Amenities: The balcony overlooks Gubei Water Town, offering beautiful night views. Nearby: Restaurants and convenience stores."

"The room is spacious, a duplex with two floors. There's a minibus shuttle service to and from the hotel. The service is excellent; they respond promptly and resolve any needs quickly. It's great value for money. Takeout is delivered directly to your door. A fantastic stay experience; highly recommended. (Authorized review)"

"Right at the entrance of the scenic area, it is very convenient to walk to the scenic area. It is very clean, it is really not at the level of a homestay, it is completely comparable to a hotel. The auntie's service is also good! The cost performance is quite high."

"I spent 3 weekdays at MingTang LinShui Inn, right next to Gubei Water Town, and had a great stay. The host doesn’t speak English but was very kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout my visit. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Gubei Water Town is within walking distance—while there's an entrance fee to explore the old quarter, the surrounding area is also peaceful and scenic, perfect for a relaxing stroll. Just a note: weekends can get crowded, and there may be some noise from nearby night events. But on weekdays, it's quiet, calm, and truly a lovely escape. Highly recommend for a peaceful weekday getaway!"
