We had a fantastic stay at No.5 Valley Lodge. The accommodation was fabulous, great infinity swimming pool with Mountain Views, hotel restaurant serves authentic delicious dishes. The receptionist was extremely helpful :) He contacted my via WeChat ahead of the trip to help arrange a pick up from the airport. He also arranged 2 days of tours for us with driver and guide. This was all last minute ! Thank you again, we will recommend this hotel to friends and family. Zhangjiajie is one of the most impressive scenery in China. Must visit !

The resort is in a beautiful, natural location with easy access to the National Park and great views across the valley. The staff are super attentive and at least two speak very good English if needed - Rain in particular was extremely helpful. We really enjoyed the food in the Chinese restaurant (less so in the Western one) and the infinity pool is a great spot to relax if you want to give your legs a rest from hiking. The rooms are a generous size and well maintained. Overall a really enjoyable stay but maybe just a little overpriced.

We were very well looked after by Rain who contacted us before we arrived and organised everything we needed for our stay from batteries to entrance tickets. The views were stunning, the hotel room was gorgeous and spacious, the bed was comfortable; plenty of hot water.

The perfect green scenery for a nature refill
Our experience was awesome! we took a small honeymoon without kids and was a lovely stay. The hotel is really clean, the rooms were in excellent conditions. All really clean, the bed was perfect, the TV with great movies selection. Not to mention the overall place that was amazing, so much nature around us. Also the hospitality of all the people was lovely, Rain help us with everything, very nice, friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious and home made. We are looking forward to go back with our children there to enjoy that warm infinity pool over the mountains.

The facilities at No. 5 Valley Lodge are great. It is close to Zhangjiajie and has a shuttle that transports people to and from the site. Rooms are clean and spacious and the overall scenery is great. I enjoyed interacting with the staff who were always very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend a stay at Valley Lodge.

This place was a dream. I’ve never had such a good experience at a place. Johnathon was SO helpful every step of the way, everyone was so kind and the food was phenomenal, the lady who cooks the food in incredible. The place is expensive but if you’re on the fence, do it. This place goes above and beyond. I chose a room with the bathtub on the balcony, and the ONLY problem I had with the whole stay is that the bathtub was too perfect and I didn’t want to get out. I had to force myself to get out and go see the sights.

Not a traditional 5-star experience
This has more of an eco-lodge vibe than a straight 5-star hotel. The views from the rice terraces are absolutely stunning. The bedroom was very comfortable and I enjoyed showering under natural light. The service was great and they had an English-speaking representative who organised everything for us, from hotel pickup to on-demand shuttles to the entrance of the park. However, the breakfast was pretty limited and there was a power cut.

Great location, idyllic hotel, fantastic service!
Brilliant! Wholeheartedly recommended. Lovely wooden lodges on a hillside with an enchanting view of the valley. Very well appointed inside with everything you could need. Great local food served. Great location just a few minutes by hotel battery car from the very quiet western entrance to Zhangjiajie National Park. But best of all was the service from all the staff and in particular our host Amber. She was in touch a few days before we arrived to check if we needed help getting there. Once there she attended to our every need and gave us a great map and invaluable advice on where to go each day which really made our trip. She also arranged a car and a driver for us on the day we went further afield. The hotel even has tiny mobiles/ GPS trackers you can take each day if you wish so that you can easily contact your host at any point in the day if you need help or advice!

This property is truly special. The staff goes out of the way to make you feel welcome and at home. Staying here made our trip. After a couple long days spent in the park coming back to this haven was everything we wanted! The location is so peaceful and beautiful and right near the park entrance. We splurged a little and booked the “suite” with the tub on the balcony and it was worth it

We really liked this hotel. Really perfect for visiting the National Park (Avator) as it is about 5 minutes drive. The hotel had stunning views and the food was delicious and plentiful. The room was clean and had a traditional mixed with modern facilities. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. Our stay was really enjoyable despite it raining. We were able to visit Tianmen Mountains despite it being 1 hour and 15 minutes drive. This was arranged for us. Big thanks to Amber especially for all her help. We would happily come and stay here again.

No, 5 Valley Inn was a beautiful inn in the Zhangjiajie area. It had stunning views and great food. There were free shuttles to the the national park daily. On our last day, it was gorgeous outside, so we decided to stay and relax at the pool.

our best experience in China in 2018
It was really great hospitality and service in a very beautiful Valley. They took care of our transfer to the airport at a reasonable cost and free ride was available upon our request from/to the national park. All the people were so responsible and did their best to meet our requests. Nice view from the swimming pool on top of the valley and the rooms there also enjoyed such deep long shot view. the only problem was low pressure it was not that comfortable when took a shower which was not a big thing.
