Our stay at Pandora Vista Retreat was truly exceptional. The hotel offered outstanding service, going above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. Surrounded by breathtaking views, the location was both peaceful and picturesque. Linda, our main contact before arrival, was incredibly helpful in ensuring we reached the resort safely. During our stay, Winnie, the resort staff and English translator, was always available and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

If you want to stay in the country side with no room service, no restaurant, outdoor bathroom (which I don’t recommend in the winter) then this is the hotel for you. It is probably not the best option for tourists that are visiting Zhangjiajie as it in an isolated area. The hotel itself is clean, and the views are amazing! It was a good experience but it wasn’t what I had hoped.

Quaint break from city life

This is such a cute hotel. The service was great, food was delicious, and the property was so quiet and peaceful. It was raining when we were there so we couldn’t use the pool, but I bet it would be even more beautiful on a warm sunny day. The staff is friendly and wanting to please the guests. There isn’t really anything nearby which was fine for us as we needed a break from the chaos of a city. They have a bar, which is beautiful, up on a hill with karaoke and the bartender was so sweet playing us some American music! Would definitely recommend his hotel.

Unique magical place with great hospitality

Super surprised by the quality and uniqueness of this hotel. The staff were super attentive, food was fantastic and the area is magical. There is a great hike right up the valley behind the hotel. Rooms are nice and toasty in the winter but the rest of the hotel is a little cold so bring warm clothes. Looking forward to going back here one day

Great place to mentally relax in

Absolutely fantastic hotel , it will disconnect you from the world and it's very close to the Zhangjiajie national forest park . Grace at the reception is incredible and extremely helpful. Everyone at the resort are just so kind. I highly recommend you to use the hotel services for any airport pick-up and drops. Airport taxi will not accept to drop you there because it's very far away from the city center and the way is dark at night and a bumpy ride. All the important attraction could be arranged from the hotel. Due to the location it's challenging to do it on your own except for the national park forest which is just few mins away.

Mixed experience

Mixed Experience at Pandora Vista – Great Staff, But Several Drawbacks Pandora Vista is conveniently located just outside the west gate of the national park, and the hotel offers transport to the entrance, which is a nice touch. The highlight of our stay was Tiffany, a staff member who went above and beyond to assist us. She helped with tour bookings, route planning, and general advice—her support truly made a difference and was the best part of our experience. The hotel itself is small and has charming, cozy rooms. However, cleanliness was lacking, and we noticed mold on the walls, which was concerning. During our visit, the hotel was crowded with families, and the noise level was very high—from early morning until late at night. The hallways and pool area were filled with loud shouting and screaming, which made it difficult to relax. Meals are served a few hundred meters away from the hotel in a rather shabby back room. Breakfast consisted of noodles, dry bread, and occasionally some fruit—no drinks were provided, and overall it wasn’t worth eating. Dinner was available at the same location, but the menu was extremely limited, overpriced, and lacked flavor. Unfortunately, the hotel’s remote location means there are few, if any, alternative dining options nearby.
