If you go to Commune to enjoy 5-star service and amenities, you are making the right choice. To to go to Commune is to experiment your own little slice of the great wall, in its original decayed state, with lots of character and interesting curves. To go to Commune on a w-e, is to meet expats and wealthy chinese, who... more

The concept is brilliant - an architect-designed bamboo house by the Great Wall but our house (No 8 of the bamboo houses) only had a view of the road and other houses, this was a little disappointing. We were also shocked that 7 of us went through 41 little plastic bottles of water in 2 days there and that the... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had a family suite which was perfect for the kids. The service is not up to international standards or Kempinski standards by any means and the staff speaks little English, which is fine for a guesthouse or local place but not fine for an international chain. The landscape was so amazing and the... more

I would like to thank to the team for making our stay unforgettable. The room was so cute and we found nice welcome gifts on our arrival. The memory which will stay forever in our minds is the champagne on the Great Wall. We had a yummy dinner first night in Terrace Restaurant and a fantastic breakfast next morning. All... more

Had an enjoyable weekend at the Commune. Staying at a resort normally means that you're heavily-dependant on the F&B & spa facilities. Both didn't disappoint. Fantastic dinner with a great wine list; try the risotto. Afternoons can be spent lounging around, bring some boardgames or a pack of cards, you can also rent their private movie theatre. We were twice... more

Spent one night this summer 24hours before the Olympic opening ceremony. As a result, roads were partly closed and hotel was almost empty. The location is magnificient and peaceful. Entry is through the Bandaling leg of the Great Wall then driving through the 10 original designed villas. We stayed in a Bamboo Villa and had the whole villa for ourselves... more

We enjoyed our stay at one of the villas. The obvious - but truly great - plus of this place is the access to a private part of the wall. Also, the spa, nice restaurants, beautiful surroundings and stunning architecture are impressive. The rooms are comfortable and huge. The only downside was the fact that some of the staff don't... more

We stayed there for one night. The location is great and the private access to the Wall a real bonus (if you don't like crowd avoid Badaling official wall site). We had 2 communicating rooms (2 kids) in a 4 rooms house and were lucky to be alone in the house. So we had the 300+ square meters for ourselves,... more

It's all about location at the Commune. I read about this hotel online and thought it looked amazing so my husband and I booked it. The service was very good. The hotel is very spread out so occasionally the service could be a bit slow. The most wonderful thing about our stay was the view from our room. We had... more
