The building is nice and comfortable, but without air conditioning. The biggest complaint is that Google could not find it, and their directions are not good. Staff was courteous. ##### Barry Stayed 1 night in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Odd-Erik Jan 24, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely!! I wanted a quiet place out of town, preferable with a swimming pool and not too expensive. I booked a room in Bubbles for 2 days and came to “the perfect place” for me. I probably stay here for much longer. So beautiful place! The room is clean, nice bathroom, big bed, balcony on two sides. Perfect view from the balcony. Right now I watch two big eagles over the forest. I was welcomed by Purity and immediately felt like being at “home”. All others who work here is also extremely nice and service minded! The pool area is also lovely. Nice pool and vert clean and tidy. Bubbles is also a restaurant frequently visited by locals. In the evening its often a lot of people there, which I think is very nice. Sitting there having some food and beers just observing. Then back to the room some 100 meter downhill where its totally peace and quiet. For me this was the perfect place! ##### Odd-Erik Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Mara Safari Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fairmont-Mara-Safari-Club.h1544563.Hotel-Information) > > [Helms Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Helms-Inn.h1402733.Hotel-Information) > > [Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Amboseli-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h978634.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach.h1856171.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Mara Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Ashnil-Mara-Camp.h12748836.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Lick Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Salt-Lick-Safari-Lodge.h1737570.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Downtown Nashville](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Downtown-Nashville.h68014246.Hotel-Information) > > [Jamliz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mwingi-Hotels-JAMLIZ-HOTEL.h48214087.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Mont Tremblant Manoir Labelle](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Mont-Tremblant-Manoir-Labelle.h65804.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sauble Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Sauble-Beach-Hotels.d6336296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Kibo Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Kibo-Safari-Camp.h14826564.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Phoenix](https://www.expedia.ca/Sky-Harbor-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aPHX-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Parañaque (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mnl/toronto-to-manila) > > [Flights from john c munro hamilton intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yhm/flights-from-john-c-munro-hamilton-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to La Ronge (YVC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/yvc/saskatoon-to-la-ronge) > > [Flights from abbotsford intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yxx/flights-from-abbotsford-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yqm/calgary-to-moncton) > > [Flights from Toronto, ON (YYZ-Pearson Intl.) to Rome (ROM-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rom/toronto-to-rome) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Bergen (BGO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bgo/toronto-to-bergen) > > [Flights from Boston (BOS) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bos/yvr/boston-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yeg/montreal-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/mbj/saskatoon-to-montego-bay) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yvr/montreal-to-vancouver) ### Cruise ### Packages > [Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/601906/Punta-Cana) > > [All inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
