Simple dorm style room. Very clean. Good breakfast. Excellent value. There is a white strobe light on the fire alarm that flashes 1-2x per minute that keeps me from giving 5 stars... I had a hard time sleeping with the light.

We had a great stay and the owner was very friendly and kind as he was around and greeted us. They upgraded us from guesthouse to hotel at no charge. We loved their breakfast spread and hospitality. When we told that we were going to check out early next morning the staff packed us a very nice breakfast. Will stay there again. Highly recommend.

Room was a bit small, hard to turn around in. I wish the bathrooms had towels for hand drying, I could never remember to bring mine for that. I didn't like that the reception area was separate from the guesthouse and we had to drive to it. Staff was great. Breakfast was excellent and I'm happy it was included. Everything was very clean.

Fine for a quick 1 night stay

We arrived very late (past midnight) and it was an OK place to stay for a short time. Rooms very basic and boiling hot with super flat pillows. Had trouble sleeping. Shared bathroom smelled of raw sewage and was out of body/ hair soap. One communal hairdryer which was available when I needed it. Shared baths weren’t as crowded as I expected but it was off season. Could be an issue during busier times. Reception was closed when we got there so you needed to have cell service or WiFi calling to be let in. FYI, the number they post doesn’t include the country code which is 011. That delayed us another 10min trying to get through. Once we did though they let us in quickly. The best pro was breakfast- good selection and plenty of tables to sit at. Eggs, good bacon, cheese, lunch meat, some veggies, cereal, yogurt, waffle maker, juice. Would only reco if you are there briefly one night

Bien, mais...

tout est très bien, propre, accueil sympas. Sauf que quand on est en GuestHouse les photos montre une cuisine partagé bien équipé où on peut cuisiner. Hors ce n'est pas le cas, les plaques chauffantes sont inopérantes, il n'y a pas de casseroles ou de poêles. c'est donc une publicité mensongère. Et lorsqu'on va à l'accueil pour des explications il nous est dit qu'il n'y a pas de cuisine...

冬のゲストハウス側の宿泊はおすすめしません。 駐車場敷地内は除雪されておらず、オーロラハントのためにでかけようとしたところ、車がスタックしました。 また、シャベルも常設されておらず、助けを求めるためフロントに連絡しても、朝まで待っていてとの一点張り。 朝になり道具を借りれたが、敷地内でスタックしている状況を認識しているにもかかわらず何の手助けもないどころか一部のスタッフには車を早くどかせろと言われました。 また、前日にはルームのカードキーのアクティベートが1泊分しかできておらず2日目には使えなかったりと散々でしたので二度と泊まりません。（まだフロントが開いている時間で耐えましたが、夜中でかけて帰ってきたときに出くわしてたら入れない状態になっていた）

게스트하우스는 아늑하고 좋았습니다. 난방이 고장난것을 리셉션 직원에게 이야기하였더니 호텔로 업그레이드해줘서 좀 더 편안한 여행이 될 수 있었습니다. 서비스에 감사드립니다. 간단한 조식은 꽤 맛있었습니다
