Thinking a guesthouse as in the title thought would be welcoming…. Said breakfast included, it isn’t. You get 1 v small milk carton and teabags. Prob great for a group but squashed dead insects on the door of the loo, dust behind the doors and just felt like staying at a grandmas house without the welcoming grandma….we sent a message to the owner on arrival as a lock safe entry and 2 days later no response. Up to you but not for us, disappointed ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ander Jan 14, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ander Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Elora Gorge Conservation Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Elora-Gorge-Conservation-Area-Hotels.0-l6293850-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Royal Hotel Calgary, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Royal-Hotel-Calgary.h518726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Delfin PV Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-San-Marino.h69138.Hotel-Information) > > [Knights Inn Merritt](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels-Knights-Inn-Merritt.h2813105.Hotel-Information) > > [Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket](https://www.expedia.ca/Phuket-Hotels-Centara-Grand-Beach-Resort-Phuket.h4303775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Markham-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d10353-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Tulum - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Tulum-Newly-Renovated.h870784.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/nrt/kelowna-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Nadi (NAN) to Bora Bora (BOB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nan/bob/nadi-to-bora-bora) > > [Flights from Niagara Falls (IAG) to Columbus (CMH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/iag/cmh/niagara-falls-to-columbus) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Málaga (AGP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/agp/london-to-malaga) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Charlottetown (YYG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yyg/montreal-to-charlottetown) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to São Tomé (TMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tms/toronto-to-sao-tome-island) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Djibouti (JIB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/jib/toronto-to-djibouti) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Chennai (MAA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/maa/vancouver-to-chennai) > > [Flights from Comox (YQQ) to Portland (PDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqq/pdx/comox-to-portland) > > [Flights from Vancouver Intl. to TCI-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/tci/vancouver-to-santa-cruz-de-tenerife) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Kingston (YGK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/ygk/regina-to-kingston) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to San José (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/sjo/calgary-to-san-jose) ### Packages > [Tokyo Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo.d179900.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
