Pros:

Staying in the national park itself is such a special experience, we felt really immersed in the park. It gives you the opportunity to get to parts of the park before and after the crowds. The tea farm is stunning, and the accomodation is simple but everything you need for a short stay. The beds were comfortable and very fresh linen. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. They send very helpful instructions beforehand, booked our tickets, and gave us suggested routes to take in the park. The my also gave us free tea grown from the farm which was delicious! The food is super tasty, we ate breakfast and dinner here; reasonably priced and prepared very quickly (which is great - as you’re hungry after a day of hiking!). The staff (thanks Frank!) also took us to the sunset spot and it was incredible, a real highlight. We met other travellers here and it was really nice to sit outside looking over the tea fields chatting with them. As others have mentioned, the bathrooms in the rooms are a bit more rustic, however they have flushing toilets and warm water; so all good - it’s important to appreciate you’re on a farm in the middle of the national park so facilities are a bit more rustic than in a city. We are really glad we stayed here, and definitely recommend to others as a unique experience. Ps bring bug spray and it can get cool in the evening even in summer.

Super friendly hosts and staff! Frank and Alex are really keen to help no matter what you ask them! Next time, I'd stay the full 4 days of park entry with them.

Pros:

Is currently not open- looks beautiful but got told a couple days before we arrived that they were currently shut. We stayed somewhere else. Nice messages but would have liked being told earlier.

The ideal option to explore Zhangjiajie national park
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay here and wouldn’t consider any other option to visit Zhangjiajie national park. It is an incredible location in the middle of the national park giving time and freedom to explore. The hosts are very attentive. They know the park inside-out and propose tailor-made circuits depending on weather (in particular localised cloud cover) and preferences with real-time updates ! They have a great cook and food is absolutely delicious. The place is an operating tea plantation and has tons of charm. Accommodation is comfortable. As is often the case in China, the mattresses are very firm, but we were kindly provided with an additional softer mattress. Because it is quite isolated we found that guests tend to chat together in the evening which we really enjoyed.

The best way to visit Zhangjiajie park for the adventurous traveller
Pros:

There are a few different ways to visit the Zhangjiajie area if you are not a local. You can get a package with a guide or you can book individual tours that use a guide. Going on your own can be a challenge if you speak little or no Chinese. And it turns out the ways to visit the area are more complex than you expected despite doing a lot of research. So Alex was invaluable in getting the best experience from inside the park. Also Carol helped us a lot via WeChat before our arrival. The meals can be ordered at any time from reception and served in the resaurant from early morning to late at night.

Cons:

I hated to give the hotel less than 5 star rating in comfort and facilities but you have to be honest as it is not a luxury hotel as compared to other hotels we stayed in the area. You know about that when you book it if you read the reviews. That is made up for many times over by the experience and convenience of staying inside the park the whole time. I'm so glad we didn't book a different hotel.

Avoid cold season there
Pros:

I think the view is good if the weather was nice. Location far not good if your staying 1 day. Its our fault anyway. But the place is nice quiet and surrounded by nature.

Cons:

Pour AC is turning off by itself. Our room is very cold we cannot call someone because it night time. Manage to control it but keep turning off. Bathroom not really clean, door must be seal because cold air keeps entering the room.

Incredible stay at YOLO
Pros:

Had an extremely nice time in Zhangjiajie national park, and that was also due to staying in YOLO resort! I was lucky and did not have to stay in line even in the park, Alex was very helpful planning my routes in the park. The resort is also very nice and have an chill vibe - «hytte - vibe» as we call it in Norwegian! Also very good food, if you are a nature lover - you will love this place! PS; I don’t think you can watch the sunset over the mountains in the national park elsewhere..
