After reading the previous review we were a little apprehensive about proceeding with our may weekend booking at the commune but despite the pouring rain the day we arrived, overall we had a really enjoyable time at the Commune. The senior management all make an effort to talk to you and help you out with queries etc. Only after we... more

This is a hard review to write, as I wanted to love the place. And the senior management are clearly so keen to make it all work. However, it was a good way from what we expected. Will list the issues, then you can decide if these would concern you. General Ambience and rooms - although the natural scenery was... more

I stayed at the Commune for one night after arriving into China. We decided to head there straight from the airport (the hotel arranged for transfer in an Audi A6). This is definitely a great place to relax after a long flight and walk around a portion of the Great Wall w/o all the tourists (the hotel owns a private... more

Stayed in the red cantilever house with a couple of friends, which was fantastic. The individual rooms were cozy yet spacious enough for our friends with kids.

And the view on the Great Wall is unforgetable. All the different villas are spacious and luxurious and the staff is very kind and helpful. I warmly recommand... more

When I came to Beijing I first was a bit afraid of the shire size of the city and thought, how will I ever make it to the hotel. Luckily my company ordered a pickup which wellcomed me warmly. It took about 90 minutes to the Commune. (Driving in China is an Adventure but the Driver knew very well, what... more

Being in Beijing for a while, what I really appriciate in Commune by the Great Wall in the peacefull atmosphere, calm, great weather (no sign of pollution) and fresh air and this is a kind of luxury in Beijing area. I agree to say that the Western standards are still not reached, but this is a fact that happen everywhere... more
