Guest Reviews

• Natalie (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfy. The B&B was quiet set in a beautiful neighborhood. - The breakfast was a home cooked meal - salmon quiche, Japanese pancakes, ham and cheese quiche - all with a fruit bowl. Joanne served us at 9 am and sat for a little visit over coffee before my mom and I headed out for the day. Mia, the B&B house dog made sure to greet us every morning for pets.
• Laurie (10/5): Our stay was friendly, cozy & comfy, quiet & conveniently located. - • The neighborhood was very quiet & beautiful with plenty of parking on the street. It felt safe. • Joanne responded quickly & kindly to our questions & allowed us to arrive early. • We left early each morning so we missed her home made breakfasts. She provided us with a continental breakfast (an option listed on the site) with yummy fresh fruit, bagels, cream cheese & jam. • Our room was comfy and cozy with plenty of blankets, closet space, & a private bathroom. • The backyard is lovely & quiet if you want some peaceful outdoor time. ***This is the 3rd year in a row that we’ve stayed in Joanne’s beautiful home. We’ll be back! 💖Thank you Joanne, for your friendly hospitality. No comment.
• Heather (9/5): -
• Brittany (10/5): Highly recommend House On Dunbar B&B! You won't regret it! - House on Dunbar B&B was fantastic. The host was lovely and made us breakfast and coffee every morning! We had the room at the top of the house, which was private and quiet with a large bathroom. We stayed at another B&B at the end of our trip and it was terrible, we left after 1 night. You can't go wrong with this booking. Thanks again, we will be back :) I can't think of anything.
• Piotr (10/5): Love it 🥰 - We greatly appreciated the excellent breakfasts served by the land lady. She's a wonderful woman who helped us with some good ideas of what to see around the city. The whole backyard was available for us. Very friendly and calm neighbourhood, away from main roads, but short, 5 min. walking distance from the public transportation. Our bed linen was replaced and room cleaned half way through our stay, just after 4 days or so. We highly recommend the House on Dunbar 🥰
• Lewis (9/5): Superb -
• Dino (9/5): Great UBC location - Very clean and helpfull Great bfast. Excelent location for UBC
• Maureen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sutherland (1/5): Bad -
• Jennifer (9/5): Superb - A friendly welcoming host who offered a different cooked breakfast option each day all of which were healthy and nutritious. We had access to a shared kitchen with tea and coffee provided and a relaxed seating area and garden. Within easy walking distance to Pacific Spirit Park and lots of information provided about local attractions and transport links. The quiet hours suited us.
• Robert (7/5): Good -
• Jen (5/5): Good location, nice yard, and big breakfasts, but the dank basement made for an unpleasant stay. - Host is friendly and accommodated our dietary requests. The neighbourhood is lovely. The backyard space was nice, although we didn't use it. It would have been nice to have the breakfasts outside. When we arrived, the bathroom sink was dirty and had hair in it. The unit is in the basement, which I don't recall seeing listed on the Booking.com site. The basement smelled musty and damp. We were able to open a window in our unit but it took a whole day for that smell to disappear. There is black mould on the bathroom tiles. The room was cramped and the bed was average. It would have been nice to be offered to eat breakfast outside in the fresh open air rather than the musty basement kitchen. Compared to what we payed for a beautiful room in Tofino, this room is overpriced, but hey, that's Vancouver for you!
• Fabienne (10/5): Perfect! - Breakfast
• Laura (8/5): Very good -
• Pam (4/5): Not a great experience. Would not recommend. - The hot breakfast was pretty good. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious The location is in a residential section with nothing much in walking distance, the bus stop is several blocks away, you really need a car. The room is small and crowded, it was not clean to our standards, we asked the owner to clean it again and she did. We stayed in a second floor room and we had to walk through the private residence where the owner often was sitting, and her bedroom was next to ours, lack of privacy. It was awkward and unlike our other experiences at B & B's or Airbnb's. The front steps are treacherous and my spouse, a builder, said they would not comply with most building codes. At breakfast you have to sit on these hard cold ceramic stools, quite uncomfortable. Other guests we talked to felt the same.
• Marisa (7/5): Good -
• Roz (7/5): Good - Quiet location just a couple of blocks from shops, cafes and restaurants on Dunbar. Comfortable bed and nice linen/duvet/towels. Host is very friendly and cheerful. The room is in the basement (which has a window), but the walls in the bedroom and bathroom are painted in quite dark colours - the room and ensuite would feel much brighter if painted in lighter colours.
• Lewis (9/5): Would definitely stay here again! - Beautiful house with lovely back garden. Wonderful host who made wonderful breakfasts. Excellent pancakes and quiche.
• Alberto (10/5): I definitely recommend it to couples and solo travelers. - Breakfast was great.
• Roger (7/5): Good -
• Akram (6/5): Not a good value for your money - Has most of we need Far from downtown and all the places of interests and need to take.uber or cab to go anywhere
• Alan (8/5): Was really happy with location. Plenty of room and space in the house . Would definitely return . . - Great stay Joanne was accommodating at such short notice . Would definitely stay again !! There wasn’t anything
• Amanda499 (7/5): Good - Good cooked breakfast in the morning, quiet house on a quiet street.
• Maryam (4/5): Safe and ok stay overall but disappointing and not meeting expectations - The location was nice and quiet. Socializing with other guests over breakfast was interesting and Joanne is a nice and respectful host. Enjoyable backyard. This place is basically someone's normal house that is rented out to multiple guests and not much of an official B&B. You can hear everyone and everything. The cleanliness could have improved by a lot: visible stains on bed sheets and pillowcases, dust and spider webs in the room. We had a safe and ok stay overall but it definitely was not meeting our expectations especially given the price.
• Anders (9/5): Thanks ever so much for a very enjoyable visit at your excellent B&B. - Hi Joanne Loved the room, the breakfast, the location, the service and your very pleasant company. Hope to check in next time I am in Vancouver. Anders (and Alice)
• Rithin (9/5): Superb -
• Joachim (9/5): Superb - Loved the room and the breakfast made freshly by the host Joanne. She was very supportive, responsive and very polite.
• Deanza (9/5): Superb - It was very clean, and the host was very sweet Everything was comfortable. The only thing that I had a problem with was the late check-in time. Although she did let us check in at 3:00 instead of 5:00 but we really didn't have access to the room until 5:00.
• Sheila (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was the quiche, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed it, and the fruit was fresh. we were safe walking distance to a really nice Italian restaurant. Close to amenities.
• Anna (10/5): Super cozy stay at Vancouver - Joanne was amazing as a host and very communicative. The selfmade breakfast each morning was so delicious! My room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. I really felt at home. Talking to the other guests was awesome and it gave the whole stay a very personal touch. Would definitely recommend staying at Joanne's. Nothing :)
• Cornelia (8/5): Very good -
• Jacqui (10/5): We throughly enjoyed our stay. - Once we had found our bearings and discovered the transport system, bus, sky train and boats, the location was very good. Each day a cooked or continental breakfast was provided which was throughly enjoyed. Our hostess, Joanna, was a delight and helped us in many ways.
• Adams (8/5): Wonderful breakfast, friendly hostess - Wonderful breakfast, very friendly hostess.Very pleasant lounge/,breakfast area with everything on hand. Quiet location. No complaints at all. I guess the room was a little small and bathroom quite dark.
• Judy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thomason (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful home. Fully stocked bath.
• Rubi (5/5): Passable - Breakfast was good and the host was very friendly The towels smell I think they ware dirty It was far from downtown
• Dennis (8/5): Very good - Very tasty breakfasts, good variety for main course. Easy informal and secure access. Very congenial host. No variety for the early continental breakfast. No additional helpings for the hot breakfast. One bathroom lock does not work well.
• Rob (8/5): I enjoyed my stay, and it suited my purpose perfectly. - Very nice accommodations, great breakfast, responsive to guest needs (provided iron and ironing board when requested) A coffee machine in the room would be a welcome addition. Lighting in bedroom a bit dim.
• Bridget (10/5): Excellent -
• Ashlee (9/5): it was a great stay overall. Joanne, the host was caring nice and welcoming. thank you again Joanne. - it was really clean, tidy and a nice sea of town. the bed wasn’t as comfortable but it wasn’t bad. literally the only complaint.
• Maria (9/5): Joanne made us feel very welcome and made us a delicious and nutritious breakfast every morning. She always prepared an - the location. Very leafy suburb of Vancouver, with easy access by bus into all areas of Downtown Vancouver. ( about 40 mins) It was very clean and we had our own ensuite bathroom.
• Rob (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lesleydownie (7/5): Good neighbourhood although not easy walking distance to restaurants. - Lovely fresh breakfast provided each morning. No washing facilities
• Stephen (7/5): Gracious hostess and lovely property. - Very good breakfasts Location a little far from things I like most. Long waits for #7 Dunbar bus.
• Belinda (8/5): Very good -
• Cheryl (9/5): The location was close to the bus stop and an easy bus ride to UBC. - I appreciated that our host was accommodating for an early arrival to drop off our luggage. Delicious breakfasts. The 9:00 breakfast time worked well for me on 2 mornings. I flew out early on my last morning, so she left me a fruit salad and bagel to help myself to. I enjoyed visiting with other guests in the evening or over breakfast. Though we had a private bathroom, an EnSite would have been nicer. Our bathroom was very clean and well appointed, so it worked better than I thought. The mattress was a bit older and was comfortable for one, but not as good for 2 of us. Again everything was clean and that means a lot.
• Anonymous (10/5): Lovely spot in a great location - The property was beautiful, the host was really nice and the breakfast was outstanding. Perfect start to the day and very comfortable back garden to relax in after a long day out
