Very quite place - there were no other quests - too quite. But the advantage is that it is very close to Golden Horse Casino. When we reached the Guest House we hooted because we didn't know that there was an intercom. There was a man outside who was very rude to us because we hooted. When we finally got in the reception we received was very dull. A brighter reception area with a bubblier receptionist will be good. Breakfast - could be better. On the whole, our one night stay was okay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay Jun 9, 2025 ##### Jay Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nkosiyapha Aug 3, 2023 ##### Nkosiyapha Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sibusiso and Irene Sep 26, 2022 ##### Sibusiso and Irene Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Odwa Apr 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Odwa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels.d179995.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott London Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-London-Ontario.h163354.Hotel-Information) > > [Japaratinga Lounge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Japaratinga-Hotels-Japaratinga-Lounge-Resort.h29967771.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Karol Bagh](https://www.expedia.ca/Karol-Bagh-Delhi-Hotels.0-n6050412-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Birch Run - Frankenmuth Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Birch-Run-Frankenmuth-Area.h59593.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Ontario-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d11178-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Ocean Eden Bay - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Ocean-Eden-Bay-Adults-Only.h44266101.Hotel-Information) > > [Bequia Plantation Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bequia-Island-Hotels-Bequia-Plantation-Hotel.h14649404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near MayFair Shopping Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/MayFair-Shopping-Centre-Hotels.0-l6129261-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ocean Coral Spring - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Ocean-Coral-Spring-Resort-All-Inclusive.h37135707.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Barcelona 1929](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Occidental-Barcelona-1929.h36818765.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near San Blas Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Blas-Islands-Hotels.d6024116.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mercer Hotel Barcelona](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Mercer-Hotel-Barcelona.h15291443.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of London Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-London-Hotel.h1217618.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Charlottetown (YYG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/yyg/hamilton-to-charlottetown) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Portland (PWM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pwm/toronto-to-portland) > > [flights from jiaodong intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/tao/flights-from-jiaodong-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Reserve Mines (YQY) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqy/yul/sydney-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Saguenay (YBG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ybg/yyz/bagotville-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Tokyo (HND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/hnd/ottawa-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Melbourne (MEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mel/toronto-to-melbourne) > > [Flights from Deer Lake (YDF) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ydf/yhz/deer-lake-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Timehri (GEO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/geo/toronto-to-georgetown) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Petawawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Petawawa.d6047925-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Enterprise at 6465 Millcreek Mississauga Ontario CAN](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-at-6465-Millcreek-Mississauga-Ontario-CAN.v20340.Car-Rental-Guide-Location) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Kelowna Intl](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Kelowna-Intl.d6033592-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Europe](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Europe.d6022967.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Activities > [Things to do in Isla Holbox](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Isla-Holbox.d6046459.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Casino Rama](https://www.expedia.ca/Casino-Rama-Chippewas-of-Rama-First-Nation.d6172269.Vacation-Attraction)
