Excellent views, access to the convenient (and less crowded) west gate of Yuan Jia Jie 5 min from the lodge. Staff, Rain, is excellent and dropped us off each day. Food was lovely, scenery was even better. Excellent tea master and tasting, thank you! Max the reception dog was a treat each morning.

Frankie was the best butler, he went above and beyond my expectation in helping us arranging travels, food. I booked the room with tatami mat and tea room, it was perfect for us.

Everything was perfect! Staff - professional, so very helpful and friendly. Location is absolutely stunning for people that like more remote places. And we do! ☺️ Easy Check-in and check-out. Rooms (we had a free room upgrade) - so beautifully decorated with amazing views. The balcony with the bathtub. The breakfast - delicious. Close to the Park Entrance. The free ride to and back from the park. Recommending it 💯 and we would stay there again with no hesitation. **The only thing to be noted is that even if the pool shows as being open on the listing, it will not be in the colder months. Unless it is a national Holiday. Probably the best thing to do if you are interested in that is to check with the accommodation before booking.

Location, super friendly and helpful staff. They organize for you everything you desire, transfers, tickets, advises. The location is very good for the park, however is far from the city and all the other attractions in the area. It is just something to be aware of for organising your days here 🙂

The location is amazing. It is very remote, giving you a great sense of peace. The staff is amazing. Frankie went out of his way to make it comfortable for us. He had great advice on what to do in the region and helped us a lot. His English is also great. Yang Ma let us taste a lot of tea that she made herself. It was absolutely delicious and she also taught us new things! In the bar they have a karaoke setup and we sang to our hearts content with Yang Ma. The food is also superb and really comforting after walking in the park for a day. Sadly the weather wasn't great when we visited so we did not enjoy the infinity pool, but it looks amazing. We will defenitely return here if we come to Zhangjiajie again.

We went to No5 Valley Lodge to explore the Zhangjiajie National Park, and we loved every bit of it. The lodge is in a very remote area, meaning that you're not close to shops or towns, but that's exactly what we were looking for. It's 5 minutes away from the west entrance of the park, which was perfect in our opinion because we managed to escape the crowds on most of our hikes. The lodge is beautiful and the pictures don't always do it justice, especially the view from the restaurant and swimming pool. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and very cosy. We started in one of the rooms, that was next to the swimming pool, and as the weather was getting colder (low season), the heating system had been turned on, which meant it made quite a lot of noise. We let the staff know about this and they immediately changed our rooms and upgraded us. The staff, and particularly Frankie, is very friendly and helpful. They're very organised and will provide you with pre-defined routes of visit for the park, which is great as it's quite a confusing and large park, so you just have to follow their guidance! Finally, we loved the food there, it was of really good quality, but note it's not western. Again, that's what we wanted, so we were very happy with it.

The food was amazing, all home cooked and sourced locally. The location is incredible; views through the valley are beautiful. The outdoor heated pool looked out over this incredible view. Our room was spacious comfortable and felt very luxurious with a balcony overlooking the mountain. Finally, the best aspect of our stay was the staff, everyone we met was kind, helpful and spoke great English, in particular Frankie, who went out of his way to help us organise our trips to the national park and even dropped us of and picked us up each day (even when we were hours late!) . We cannot recommend this place enough and are very much looking forward to going back again soon.

The hotel is surrounded by mountains, making it perfect for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature. The design combines a cozy, rustic feel with modern comforts, and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The restaurant serves tasty food made from fresh and local ingredients, which you can enjoy not only at breakfast but also for lunch and dinner. Moreover, the staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, whether it’s helping to organize excursions or providing transportation to the national park entrance.

This is an amazing place surrounded by beautiful nature. We were here for 5 nights, from September 3 to September 8. We enjoyed the incredible hospitality of the hotel team (especially thanks to Ryan), proximity to the park (about 2 kilometers). The hotel has delicious breakfasts, a swimming pool with a gorgeous view, comfortable rooms. I would like to separately note Ryan's help in all matters: transfer from the airport and back, buying tickets to the park and friendly conversations on any topic. Five days in this hotel were so wonderful that we will definitely try to return!

The staff go above and beyond to take care of your every need. It’s pretty darn good. The views are spectacular and the food is delicious. Pretty much all you could ask for just minutes away from the national park.
