Time for management to wake up. Pestering for extra payment when all amounts due aready paid. No system for checking condition of rooms, recording and fixing problems... in our case a sink unconnected to the waste, water went straight to the bathroom floor! That said great location with a large plot, the price is low and the staff are welcoming and do all they can to help. ##### Alistair Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eckhard Sep 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and well equipped rooms. The service was super friendly and the kitchen very delicious. ##### Eckhard Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good place. Safe, friendly, helpful. Short walk from the centre: bring a torch as the last bit of road is uneven, but that's all. ##### Gregory Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Phillip Sep 26, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a fairly nice and pretty place to stay within walking distance of much of the town, although you will want to be cautious walking down the hill through some street hawkers and would never do so after dark. The staff was very excellent, friendly, and approachable. My only complaint, which led me to leave a night early, was that the WiFi went out for over a day and the owner was evidently unwilling to fix it and I needed WiFi for my work so I went elsewhere. This was not the staff's fault and they were apologetic and I think they tried to get the owner to buy more internet time but I gather she did not want to. So, similar to a previous review, the staff worked hard under a less than supportive and helpful owner. ##### Phillip Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Clean and quiet with a friendly, helpful staff. Very nice breakfast on the open air veranda. Beautiful vegetation abounds. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANIELLO Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### ANIELLO Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels with Waterslides in Abbotsford](https://www.expedia.ca/Abbotsford-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d4128-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Quebec](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Quebec-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11183-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Orillia](https://www.expedia.ca/Orillia-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d9268-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [citizenM Miami Worldcenter](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-CitizenM-Miami-World-Center.h70960921.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sydney Boutique Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlottetown-Hotels-The-Sydney-Boutique-Inn.h18462841.Hotel-Information) > > [King George, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens](https://www.expedia.ca/Athens-Hotels-King-George.h906503.Hotel-Information) > > [HyattHotels Hotels in San Sebastián](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Sebastian-Hotels-Hyatt-Hotels.0-0-d6084360--bHyattHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Finch West Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Finch-West-Station-Hotels.d553248635997307271.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Resorts Bracebridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Bracebridge-Resort-Hotels.d59252-aaResortHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Laguna Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Laguna-Beach-Hotels.d8384.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Rio de Janeiro (GIG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/gig/calgary-to-rio-de-janeiro) > > [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Shanghai (PVG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sfo/pvg/san-francisco-to-shanghai) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from SeaTac (SEA) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/nrt/seattle-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from College Park (ATL) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/atl/yeg/atlanta-to-edmonton) > > [Air Canada Mississauga (YYZ) to Richmond (YVR) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pearson-intl-to-vancouver-intl/ac/yyz/yvr) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Panama City (ECP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/ecp/detroit-to-panama-city) > > [Saudi Arabian Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Saudia-Flights.cSV.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Prince George (YXS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yxs/calgary-to-prince-george) > > [Flights from Salt Lake City (SLC) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/slc/yow/salt-lake-city-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Marrakech (RAK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/rak/toronto-to-marrakech) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Nuuk (GOH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/goh/toronto-to-nuuk) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Fort Nelson (YYE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yye/kelowna-to-fort-nelson) ### Cars ### Packages > [Vancouver Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver.d178315.Destination-Travel-Guides)
