The check in process was very easy! The host was very communicative! One of the rooms were cold and the host immediately switched us to a different room.

We have no idea that we have to share the bathroom. And also the shower was flooded ##### Adriana Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Melissa Sep 14, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a guesthouse/hostel. The bathroom is shared and there are padlocks on the bedroom doors. It is not as advertised and we immediately left and booked another accommodation after finding people who were sleeping in their cars who had access to the house. ##### Melissa Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### jason Jan 29, 2026 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Nice homestead but there was no mention of shared facilities (ie a single toilet & shower) to accommodate the entire house when booking. Other guests decided to fry up some fish late at night and the smell permeated into the bedroom, very unpleasant but guess we cant fault the host for this. Our bedroom was right next to the shared bathroom and soundproofing was limited! Bedding was clean but found a random sock and some other bits which implies a surface clean only between guests. Drinking water was absolutely awful, tasted very metallic and had a brownish tinge to it. Cheaper than other places so guess you get what you pay for - we booked for two nights but moved on after one. ##### jason Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Isabella Aug 13, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Overall felt unclean and misled The property details omitted the fact that it had a communal bathroom for 4 rooms for up to 16 people. We ended up sharing 1 single bathroom with 3 other families. All were surprised. Having knowledge of this is critical for families with young children. On the listing, only the kitchen was disclosed as communal. Additionally, the trash outside was overflowing and the bathroom window was left ajar leading to many flies in the property. ##### Isabella Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Masanobu Sep 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 部屋のレイアウトに難あり TVはつかえなかった ##### Masanobu Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Clemence Sep 10, 2025 ##### Clemence Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristina Aug 29, 2025 ##### Kristina Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### stefania daniela Jul 27, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### stefania daniela Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hótel Norðurljós](https://www.expedia.ca/Raufarhofn-Hotels-Hotel-Norurljos.h22392263.Hotel-Information) > - [Díma Studio Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Hofn-Hotels-Dima-Studio-Apartments.h24004074.Hotel-Information) > - [Snorrastadir Farm Holidays](https://www.expedia.ca/Borgarnes-Hotels-Snorrastadir-Farm-Holidays.h40054968.Hotel-Information) > - [Aurora Hotel at Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport Terminal KEF](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Aurora-Hotel-At-Reykjavik-Keflavik-Airport-Terminal-KEF.h6567348.Hotel-Information) > - [The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-The-Retreat-At-Blue-Lagoon-Iceland.h33987034.Hotel-Information) > - [Konvin Hotel by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-BB-Hotel-By-Keflavik-Airport.h3474914.Hotel-Information) > - [Ásahraun Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Selfoss-Hotels-Asahraun-Guesthouse.h43985897.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Mountain Apartments by Heimaleiga](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Apartments.h10632146.Hotel-Information) > - [Log Cabin at White River](https://www.expedia.ca/Selfoss-Hotels-Log-Cabin-At-White-River.h44820097.Hotel-Information) > - [Skarðás Country Cabins](https://www.expedia.ca/Egilsstadir-Hotels-Skaras-Country-Cabins.h19254925.Hotel-Information) > - [Country Dream guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Selfoss-Hotels-Country-Dream-Guesthouse.h23920102.Hotel-Information) > - [Guesthouse Brekka](https://www.expedia.ca/Husavik-Hotels-Guesthouse-Brekka.h32518101.Hotel-Information) > - [Sólvangur Farm, Icelandic Horse Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Eyrarbakki-Hotels-Solvangur.h46193775.Hotel-Information) > - [Nes Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Nes-Residence.h29769531.Hotel-Information) > - [201 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-201-Hotel.h20522120.Hotel-Information) > - [Eleven Deplar Farm ](https://www.expedia.ca/Skagafjorour-Hotels-Eleven-Experience-Deplar-Farm.h35065041.Hotel-Information) > - [Fosshotel Núpar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalfafell-Hotels-Fosshotel-Nupar.h7999374.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Rangá](https://www.expedia.ca/Rangaring-Ytra-Hotels-Hotel-Ranga.h21428508.Hotel-Information) > - [Móar Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Hvalfjararsveit-Hotels-Moar-Cottages.h48242812.Hotel-Information) > - [The Barn - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-The-Barn.h32596142.Hotel-Information) > - [Northern Light Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Northern-Light-Inn.h12320638.Hotel-Information) > - [Cameo Beverly Hills, LXR Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Cameo-Beverly-Hills.h14537.Hotel-Information) > - [Eyjólfsstaðir Guesthouse Egilsstaðir](https://www.expedia.ca/Egilsstadir-Hotels-Eyjolfsstair-Guesthouse-Egilsstair.h19643286.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Vík í Mýrdal](https://www.expedia.ca/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Hotel-Vik.h35767873.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Guangzhou (CAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/can/toronto-to-guangzhou) ### Packages ### General > - [Visit Fort Nelson](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Nelson.dx4134)
