Guest Reviews
- Jim (6/5): It was close enough to Vancouver airport ($30 taxi) which was a priority - It was clean. Tea coffee available The rooms in the house do not lock! So you constantly have to keep your valuables on you and your luggage is vulnerable
- Robert (8/5): I'd be happy to come again and there's a good chance I will. There's an event nearby every 2 years. - Clean room and modern, up to date bathroom. I wondered if there should have been bed sheets rather than a duvet only.
- Martin (7/5): -
- Agbor (9/5): -
- Ryno (10/5): Very accommodating. - They were so accommodating after my flight got rebooted for the next day. The assisted me very nicely and the room was very comfortable. Thank you so much.
- Temirlan (8/5): -
- 山口 (7/5): - 住宅街なので夜静か、スーパーマーケットが徒歩圏内にあること。

- WANG (10/5): -
- Stefanie (5/5): Pay attention to additional fee's - The room was nice, convenient entry for my late flight arrival/ early departure. Shower was great and the bed was comfy. Didn't notice the $50 "environmental fee" until after booking.
I know thats on me, but a little outrageous of a price since I was only there for about 6 hours total and didnt leave a trace.
- lea (8/5): -
- Jack (8/5): -
- JUI-YU (6/5): - The room and the shared bathroom is clean. The community is safe and is close from the airport. The host is nice and can store luggage after you leave. The public space have a weird smell. But the room didn't have it. The room is at the second floor without elevator. The lock for the room is old and use key.
- Esmeralda (8/5): - Location Gap in the door
- katarzyna (9/5): Excellent - The location was excellent, easy to find, good parking, all well explained, I was nicely surprised that all was so nice, the room the place, parking. All was excellent. For sure im coming back. The nice room, clean sheets, easy parking

- S (7/5): - No interference from owner, fairly clean all around except sink in the shared washroom, plenty of parking, clean bed and sheets, allowed drinking inside, responsive. Overall not a bad experience Washroom sink wasn't clean, price was bit too much should be less than $40 / night IMO
- Joshua (10/5): Easy, simple, perfect. - Really easy. Able to check-in early and super convenient to get to the airport the next day.
- D'ARCY (10/5): Clean, quiet and comfortable - Clean, quiet, comfortable and respectful No TV but I had my phone and they gave fast WiFi
- RAN (8/5): -
- EileenMa (9/5): Highly recommended without a doubt. I’ll refer all my visitors to stay at this location. It is very convenient - It’s close to public transport and restaurants . Room and facilities are clean. They offered drinks like water, tea and coffee. Microwave, toaster and refrigerator are available for use. John is also very responsive and helpful.
- Joedel (8/5): great 👍 - accessable kitchen
- Jennifer (8/5): Bien -
- Jonathan (1/5): 1/10 - It was really dubious and we didn't feel very safe. - - Good located near the airport
- The sleeping room was clean. - 1.5 hours after the actual check-in, we received a message from the host giving us a new address in a different neighborhood, informing us that this would now be our new room. Luckily, we were still a 10-minute drive away, otherwise we would have been in the completely wrong place. Furthermore, it's very strange and dubious that one is taken to a completely different house. He wrote that the reason was due to renovations in the bathroom of the other house. But surely this wouldn't have been known only an hour after check-in.
- The bathroom wasn't clean. There were personal belongings lying around everywhere, as if someone lived there permanently. There were also silverfish in the shower.
- The kitchen and living room looked as if someone actually lived there. We weren't sure until the very end whether it was usable for us or not. There were boxes everywhere, moldy cups in the sink, and the sofa looked like a converted bed.
- In the morning, when we were leaving two hours before the official checkout time, someone was already standing at our door with fresh bed linens, waiting for us to leave so he could come in. Presumably it was the host, but he didn't really introduce himself.
- Airport-Shuttle: The provider offered an airport shuttle service beforehand. We accepted this offer and agreed on a time with them. Then, the day before, they wrote to say it wouldn't work after all and we should take an Uber.

- charlotte (9/5): -
- Susan (7/5): Great value, rooming house - The sheets were wonderful. Bottled water first night. Only 1 towel, never saw John or other staff, 4 guest rooms to one bathroom (which was the biggest concern), smoker in other room and smell came into mine despite them not smoking inside, bed linens were VERY NICE but bed creaked a lot, I thought it was a B AND B, but more like a rooming house. To be clear, it was excellent value, and I'd stay again perhaps, but it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. Smoking outside on patio under my room so couldn't open window to get rid of smoke smell inside either.
- Jack (10/5): -
- Nelly Janet (8/5): - Tranquilo y comodo
- ROMAN (10/5): Estancia impecable, moderna y sin complicaciones - El acceso fue sumamente eficiente gracias a un sistema de claves lógico y sin fricciones, lo que facilitó la llegada. El lugar se encontraba en excelentes condiciones de limpieza, con acceso funcional a la cocina y un baño de alto nivel, tipo premium. Destaca especialmente el piso de madera, estéticamente muy atractivo y aparentemente nuevo, lo que eleva la percepción de calidad del espacio. Honestamente, no hubo ningún aspecto negativo que señalar. La experiencia fue totalmente satisfactoria.
- Valiquette (9/5): - Very clean room N/A
- Patricia (9/5): It was good. - I had a late flight to Vancouver airport and it was close by. The bed was really comfortable and it was in a quiet neighborhood. The shower was really nice.
- Artem (8/5): -
- Mould (1/5): スタッフの対応が悪すぎて宿泊すらできない宿 - ベッドと部屋は用意してくれるので、泊まるための最低限はある。以上。 オーナーの対応が非常に悪すぎて、一晩バンクーバー中を振り回された結果一泊もすることができなかった。
まずそもそもの話だが、オンラインで会話する時も、対面でも歓迎されてる感は一切なく、とても冷たい対応だった。そして宿(というか家)に着いたら入り方の説明もないのでチャイムを鳴らしたら、「なぜ鳴らした?」といわれて戸惑った。部屋の説明もなく「Go Up」の一言だけ。四つ部屋があるから、どれですか?って聞いても「1番だよ?オンラインで説明したでしょ?」と言われて、少し怖くも感じた。部屋に入ると、ベッド、タオルはあったが、本当にそれくらい。強いて言えば、他には床になぜか枯葉がたくさん落ちていて、掃除はされてないのかな〜?って感じたくらい。後に明らかになったが、この施設の利用説明が自分には送られておらず、この時もwifi の使い方や、部屋の鍵、夜帰ってきた時の家に入るためのpinキーの説明もされていなかった。
後々来るのかな、と思いバンクーバーを旅して夜家に帰ったら家に入れない。アプリを通して連絡してもオーナーからは反応なし。最終手段で電話をしても、まさかの留守電で無反応。Booking.comのカスタマーサービスにお願いをして、オーナーに連絡を取ってもらったが、結局無反応。この時大変だったことが、チェックインした時に部屋に充電器を含む全ての荷物を置いてきたこと。booking.comの人と連絡を取るためスマホの充電は必要だが宿周辺は本当に住宅街のため、まさかの空港に行きスマホを充電するハメに。
最終的にその日のうちに連絡は帰ってくることはなく、新しい宿に変更になった。1人部屋から6人共同部屋に変更を余儀なくされ、1人でバンクーバーの深夜をさまよわされ、深夜3時に空港からバンクーバーダウンタウンまでバス移動をさせられた。この人生で1番怖い夜を体験させてくれた、そんなお宿です。
そして翌朝、「sorry I missed your message」と共に、今になって施設の利用説明がされた。もう宿は帰れたので、とりあえず荷物だけ取りにまた帰ったら、初めて歓迎されてる感じの対応をされた。前日とは打って変わって、とても喋るわ、心配してくれるわ(夜大丈夫だった、ではなくこのお部屋の設備の心配)で、どうにかしていい評価をしてほしい感はあったが、深夜にたくさんの移動を余儀なくされ、次の日の予定も全て崩れたのにも関わらず、自分には謝罪はなし。荷物だけまとめて帰らさせていただきました。
まぁでも、宿泊費80ドルだったから予約したら、それと同じくらい環境保護費とか言う理由で75ドル取られて、さらに追加料金取られて、話が違うじゃん!高すぎだろこの立地の割には!って思ってたので、お金が全部返金されたのは嬉しかったです。
人生で1番恐ろしい体験をしました。2度とこの様な経験を他の人がしなければ良いのですが、、、
他の人のコメントを見ても、本当に、、?サクラなんじゃないか、、?と思ってしまうのが正直なところです。これから泊まる人に、自分の体験が参考になると幸いです。
- Sean (8/5): - Close to airport. Easy on street parking.
- Kiplimo (8/5): Highly recommended - Everything
- SORA (4/5): host should be quiet even day time. but the house itself was very nice. - the house was adorable and there are some amenity (used one like shampoo and toothpaste etc) so I needed only my facial form. the host brought a lot of his friends and they enjoyed party loudly. it was too loud to do something. at that time I worked there. the noise bothered me very much.
- chris (10/5): - Quiet and good location
- Gloria (8/5): -
- Callam (10/5): Rest & Relaxing - I was looking for a cozy place to rest before my flight and this was perfect. The rooms were nice and comfy with access to great facilities. It was cleanly and quiet. I would highly recommend
- Barry (8/5): -
- Chikage (10/5): - Clean!
- Aimee (8/5): Value for money. Comfortable bed. - John was responsive and helpful in his communication. Welcomed us when we arrived and allowed us to check in early as the room was ready. Bed was incredibly comfortable so slept well. Coffee and tea facilities was a nice touch. Conveniently located to airport. Accumulation of old soaps in the bathroom. However clean enough and nice hot shower. Bedroom clean and comfortable.
- Hayley (10/5): - Ideal location & reasonable price. Really easy self check in. Only problem is the bathroom is right next to the bedroom so you can hear everything.
- Makins (1/5): Like staying in 1970 house - Close to airport Small room 7 x 15. Outdated. Bathtub from 1970. No tv in room. 1 bed 1 uncomfprtable chair. No place to go besode your room. Felt like a bird in a cage. Would not recommend this place unless you jyst need a bed before flying out.
- Ronald (8/5): - Priced right , communication between myself and John was punctual, and accurate.
Got a ride to the airport on time at a great price as well . Nothing notable
- Kirsten (6/5): - Close to the airport and good for a short stay. Unfortunately, the room and bathroom were not very clean. The bed was comfortable and linen was laundered.
- Cody (7/5): -

- Jun (8/5): -
- narae (7/5): 밴쿠버 공항과 가까워 일정 마지막에 머물기 좋은 숙소 - 원래 친구와 함께 지내려고 예약했던 숙소라 1명이 묵기에는 방이 넓고 쾌적했습니다.
동네가 조용하고 한적해서 근처를 걷기만 해도 기분이 좋았습니다.
침대가 푹신하고 편안해서 좋았고, 옷장도 따로 문이 열리는 분리된 장소가 있어서 옷 보관하기가 편했어요.
침대 옆 1개, 책상 위 1개, 옷장 1개, 방 전체 1개로 조명도 여러곳에 있어서 저녁을 어둡지 않게 보낼 수 있었습니다. 방음이 전혀 되지 않아서 옆 방에서 나는 휴대폰 소리나 복도에서 나는 발소리가 전부 들려요. 숙면을 취하기 위해서는 귀마개가 꼭 필요했어요.
4개의 방 사람들이 같은 욕실 및 화장실을 사용해야 하기 때문에 오래 기다려야 합니다.
주요 관광지에서 버스로 3~40분이 소요되는 거리라서 이동 시간이 오래 걸립니다.
- Slav (3/5): - I wouldn't recommend staying here overnight because everything creaks, someone is walking very loudly, and it goes on until almost 12am, and in the morning the same thing starts around 6am. Sometimes the neighbors through the wall don't let you sleep. I stayed here for 3 nights.
- Marise (8/5): -
- Halley (8/5): Bed is so clean and comfy! - The bed is so comfy and clean! John is helpful. Only one bathroom, sometimes it's a bit busy to share the other rooms.
Stairs for carrying big luggage to upstair.
- Marcia Solís🇨🇷 (8/5): - Me gustó muchísimo la ubicación, cerca de supermercado y estaciones de bus. Un poco sucio y desordenado en la entrada principal de la casa y que no se tenía acceso a la cocina, entendería que es porque la tiene dividida para otro inquilino pero booking dice que tiene cocina, entonces no coincide la publicidad con la realidad.
- Simic (6/5): - Gests make some unnecessary noise. Owner should post written note about behavior regarding noise especially late at night.
- TANG Wing Chuen (4/5): 房租雖然較為經濟,但往返交通不大方便! - 周邊環境清靜,設備尚算齊全,房租價格相對經濟。 交通稍嫌不方便,由溫哥華機場出發,乘坐 Skytrain 到 Marine Drive Station,再轉乘10號巴士到達 Granville St @W67 Ave,隨後徒步15分鐘便到達住宿地點,全程約需要30分鐘有多。
- Kristina (8/5): -
- Bert Jan (7/5): Affordable stay with good location, but basic comforts. - John’s house is a very affordable option if you want to stay close to downtown Vancouver. The neighborhood feels cozy and safe, with a nice local atmosphere. The bus stop is only a 5-minute walk away, which makes it easy to get downtown quickly. There’s also a supermarket nearby, which was convenient for picking up essentials.
The bed was very comfortable, and the room matched our expectations. It was clean, simple, and provided everything we needed for a short stay. Overall, it’s a good choice if you’re looking for a budget-friendly place in a great location. I feel this place is more suitable for an overnight stay. We stayed for 7 nights and unfortunately didn’t have a good night’s sleep. This was mainly because the house is very noisy. We were woken up multiple times during the night when people got up early, used the bathroom, or left. Other guests were also quite noisy, which made it difficult to rest.
Our room was directly connected to the room next door by a locked door, and we could hear the person talking and snoring, which wasn’t ideal. On top of that, you share one bathroom and toilet with three other rooms. It’s manageable, but not very convenient if you’re on a schedule or simply need the toilet.
There also wasn’t really a kitchen to prepare meals, only disposable plates, cutlery, and a microwave. If you want to make a simple breakfast or lunch, there’s not much space to do so.
So I recommend this place if you’re looking for a short overnight stay, but for 7 nights it’s a bit too uncomfortable and lacking in privacy to be enjoyable.
- Chebukina (6/5): I'd recommend this place only if you’re catching an early flight and need a budget-friendly stop. - The check-in process was smooth, with a good lock system and clear instructions for entry and Wi-Fi. The room and bed were clean, and I appreciated that there was coffee, tea, and plenty of kitchen items available. However, the room is located in the basement, which made it quite noisy from upstairs, even during the night. The air circulation is poor, so the basement has a noticeable cat smell and musty air. The mattress was very firm, and I had back pain after just a few hours of sleep. The biggest downside was the bathroom, which was really dirty — I chose not to use it at all.
- Johannes (7/5): - Clean room in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. The bed was okay. The host never showed his face, I haven't seen him in all these days, not even to welcome me, which I find rather careless. The entrance to the house has a very nasty smell, but you don't smell it in the room. The bathroom was a bit nasty, with mould and weird things lying around. The front door could be opened by anyone, the security code isn't even needed. Also notice that this house is not near to the city centre, it takes a 40-minute bus ride.
- Nelly Janet (10/5): - La comodidad
- Quirine (10/5): - Perfect wat je kan verwachten voor één nacht vlakbij het vliegveld. Duidelijke instructies, goed te vinden en prima om te slapen.
- Xavier (8/5): - Chambre simple mais propre et pratique pour l'accès aéroport. Ras
- Gaetan (7/5): -
- 83SaLi87 (6/5): - Clean and quiet. Old furniture and overpriced.
- Yeshambel Tesfa (5/5): - Probably John's house is the oldest house in a quiet and beautiful neighbourhood. The person who is in charge is so nice and if you have early flight, it might be a good choice to be a bit closer. A bit far from downtown.
- Nelly Janet (10/5): Excelente estancia - Muy tranquilo, muy cómodo.
- Thompson (7/5): - My favorite thing about the room was how comfy and clean the bed was. I didn't like that the common area/kitchen smelled like dog pee. Wasn't noticeable in the private room, though.
- Richard (8/5): -
- María José (8/5): I 100% recommend - It's great for it's value, the bed and pillow was really comfortable and the bathroom was also great. John is really kind, he picked me up from the airport and took me there the next day. It was just a 15 minute ride. I would absolutely stay here again.
- IKEDA (8/5): Satisfied with my 10-day stay. Good value for the reasonable price. Thank you, John. - Free tea and coffee. A shared refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and hair dryer are available, along with cups, forks, spoons, paper plates, and clean drinking water. Tissues, toilet paper, and towels are provided. The bed was clean and comfortable, and the owner was flexible and responsive. Easy bus access to downtown, though it’s a little far from the train station. The little porch by the entrance was my favorite spot. I loved sitting there to work, and the Wi-Fi was smooth and reliable. I needed to text the owner to use the laundry, but the quick response made it easy. The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, but overall, it was a good stay.
- SHOTARO (1/5): 二度は使わないと思う - 予約したのに宿がないというトラブルはなかった とにかく隣の部屋の音が丸聞こえ、シャワーなどの温度が難しい、オーナーは不親切だった
- Tianqi (10/5): -
- Ben (10/5): Lovely overnight stay - John's house is nestled in a sweet little suburb south of downtown. I was only there one night but I wished I'd stayed longer. John was very communicative and allowed me to store baggage before check in.
The room is simple but lovely. There are coffee making facilities downstairs which helped me fight jetlag. The suburb is very pleasant to walk around in and if you're lucky, like me, you might hear piano music emitting from some homes whilst on an afternoon walk.
Do yourself a favour and avoid the harrowing streets of downtown and stay at John's place instead.
- Tony (9/5): - The place is very nice and budget friendly. I highly recommend this one if you value your sleep and privacy. The neighborhood is super nice and beautiful. Busstop if a few minutes walk away and the bus rides are quite cheap.
I will go back before returning to europe.
