Guest Reviews
- Eva (10/5): - Liked the cute design inside my room. Coffee was provided. It got kinda hot in the morning but fan was available.
- Philippe Aurèle (8/5): Le mystère de la chambre jaune - La maison propose plusieurs chambres dans un quartier résidentiel calme en bordure de lac, très proche (15 mn à pieds) du centre-ville.
Le lit est très confortable et la douche agréable (petit bémol ci-dessus) et le logement globalement bien équipé.
La chambre jaune dispose d'un véritable espace de travail. Les WC dans la douche (séparés par un simple rideau), c'est un peu spécial, mais adapté à la taille du logement. La décoration est spéciale, mais chacun est libre de l'apprécier à sa manière.
Certains couverts étaient disponibles (fourchettes), d'autres étaient manquants (couteaux, cuillères).
- Makeiff (9/5): -
- Dtouficc (10/5): - It was simply amazing
- Elizabeth (8/5): - we loved the neighborhood!!...and the fact it was a short walk0 to the beach and downtown Kelowna The room was a bit over crowded with decorations.......
- Rebekah (7/5): Well rested and quite enjoyable - Super nice place with beautiful beach to walk. I didn’t like the lack of privacy , even though we were supplied with codes and very straight forward direction on how to get to our room I still had a very abrupt knock on the door pretty late in the evening to verify my identity and making sure I was in the right room ? Pretty sure being colour coded rooms that there was only one pink room . Despite that it was quite clean and a reasonable price .
- Kateryna (10/5): - The location is good, the place is very comfortable and quiet. Very cozy.
- Guest (9/5): -
- Laura (9/5): - Very comfortable, great location. Could hear neighbours, but everything else was excellent.
- Jevan (8/5): Lovely stay in Kelowna! - Brilliant location, right by the beach and only a short walk to downtown! Check in was simple and with no issues and the place itself was lovely and cozy!
- Chris (10/5): Great stay - Great location , great staff It was fine. Nothing wrong
- Golley (9/5): - Room was great,
- Justine (7/5): As a place to stay it’s basic but it works - Access was easy, local to lake and access to Kelowna Noise from other rooms
- Gina (10/5): - Clean. Quiet. Comfy. Affordable. Will def use again. 👌
- Sarah (10/5): So cozy and comfortable! - I had a quick trip to Kelowna for a medical treatment. I booked this room last minute. The host briefly helped me to my room and was very pleasant to deal with. Great location for what I needed and it felt like a safe neighborhood.
What made such a huge impression on me was my state upon entering (severe dental pain, stress, discomfort) and what the stay in that room did for me! My stress just melted away. I felt so safe and cozy and comfortable and was fully able to just relax and recharge. It felt like being in the warm inviting home of a loved one. Sometimes staying in a hotel room is great, but they feel more sterile and impersonal. This was like a hug that I didn't realize I needed lol. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable for me.
- Mo (10/5): Welcoming Host & Clean Place - Very clean with a hospitable host! Everything was great in a cozy house. :))
- Dmytro (9/5): It was an excellent stay overall and I would love to come again. - Clean and neat rooms. They have nice concept and they decorated their rooms in aesthetic way. They paid attention to little details - there is extra beach stuff for anyone to take, they have great recommendations of places nearby. AC worked pretty well. It's a bit expensive, but that's the current market. AC made rooms a bit colder than it is comfortable.
- Ankit (8/5): -
- Lee (10/5): Would stay again if I had a reason and i didn’t live 12 hours away - Very cute place, love tree’s in area by the beach. Easy to find. Host provides great directions for access upon arrival and simple process. Space was clean and had everything I needed. Shower pressure was great and hot water always seemed to come so fast!
Met the host and seemed like a very nice person. Nothing was of displeasure
- Kevin (9/5): -
- Lawrence (8/5): - Great location. Quirky rooms as another has mentioned. I thought I would never say this, but it was really warm, and in winter.
- Eden (10/5): -
- Thomas (8/5): -
- Agasse (7/5): -
- Simon Schweizer (9/5): - Everything was clean and had everything you need
- LILIA (9/5): -
- Christian (8/5): -
- Peter (8/5): Excellent location - Excellent location, good value Room is outdated, Washroom is too small
- Дако (10/5): -
- Debora (9/5): - Nice room, very close to the lake
- Philippe (9/5): Excellent place for our stay in Kelowna. - Nice location and very comfortable. The neighborhood was calm. Limited space in the room, but manageable.
- Irina (9/5): -
- Adam (10/5): - Excellent location, only a short walk to the downtown and super close to the lake!
- Hanna (10/5): -
- Elena (10/5): I will definitely be back - Beautiful old furniture, great location, quiet area, friendly host Nothing
Everything was perfect!
- Terry (7/5): Adequate - Location The toilet was inside the small shower, so basically the shower was unusable unless we wanted to dry the floor and toilet down afterwards. Full disclosure needed on this point.
There is a lot of stuff in the room to keep clean.
The bed coverings, draperies, scatter rugs could be refreshed.
If we were staying for more than a night, we would have been disappointed not to have a comfortable room outside of our room for relaxation.
- Suet Ping (10/5): perfect stay with 2 rooms separated - The location is excellent. And i love the room size with everything we needed. Everything was beyond my expectation. The only thing i hope we can stay longer.
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Ben (6/5): -
- Beom (10/5): -
- dulitha (10/5): -
- lorenzo erlic (10/5): - Location... Three houses from the best swimming beach in Kelowna!
- Saddam (10/5): -
- Tin (10/5): -
- honselaar (9/5): -
- Meret (5/5): - The location is superb for Kelowna. The bathroom is separated by a thin plastic door that doesn’t reach the ceiling from the bedroom which can be a challenge.
- Morris (9/5): Great stay? friendly staff and location - Location, staff, cleanliness The one bed was was hard and uncomfortable
- Tweax (9/5): Great stay! - The hosts took their time to explain all the amenities and services at walking distance. Great if you dont have a car. All the information prior to getting there are well written. No confusion. Nothing really!
- Steven (5/5): Passable -
- Dominique (7/5): Economical stay in beautiful, convenient neighbourhood. - Excellent neighbourhood, very proximate to the lake and downtown Kelowna. My quiet room was air conditioned and the onsite owner was friendly and helpful. The decor and bedding in the rooms was very dated and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, my room was not as clean as I would have liked (dusty, streaks on door and walls). Also, at one point the power went out when all of the rooms were booked.
- Laurell (9/5): Superb -
- Renee (7/5): Good -
- Franz (10/5): What I wanted - WiFi between good and very good.
Centrally located.
Quiet single-family houses area.
Good mattress.
High bed for easy in and out.
"key-free" doors.
- Richard (7/5): Nice place to stay. - Lovely home located in a gorgeous neighborhood close to the lake. The information email was very clear and concise. The room we stayed in was quite cozy, private and clean. The bed was so firm I had trouble finding a comfortable position to fall asleep.
- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barbara (8/5): Very good - Great location and coffee provided. Room was small but adequate. Room could be less cluttered.
- Sandeep (10/5): Exceptional - Quirky - great location for town and walking along beach - easy to get to vineyards
- Crystal (9/5): Superb -
- Pauline (10/5): Exceptional - Easy check in, quiet, convenient location and cute little room! Not the hotel's fault but I was there at the height of summer so it got a little toasty but fans were provided so that worked great!
- Cynthia (8/5): Very good -
- Rebecca (9/5): Superb - We were sorry we never got to meet the host. Very lovely place. We will return again.

- Melvin (8/5): We enjoyed our stay, and book again. - The location was fabulous, walking distance to parks and Downtown, cultural district. Friendly host. Very clean, and comfortiale. We like a fairly decluttered room/surrounding; less knick-knacks.
- Sharon (8/5): We slept well and would return another time. - The location near City Park and the restaurant scene was excellent. The room had extras such as microwave, fridge and coffee maker which was more than we expected. The room was on the small side and the furnishings were a bit dated.
- K (7/5): Good -
- Grace (8/5): Very good -
- Heather (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susan (9/5): Superb - Quiet and comfortable. Great $
- Tigchelaar (8/5): Very good - Our host, Don, is personable and very willing to help out with requests or questions, and generously allowed us to check in early.
- Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eric (10/5): Exceptional -
- Johnston (8/5): So close to the lakeshore. Wonderful evening walk. - Don was an excellent host. Greeted us warmly. Found a secure place to store our bikes overnight and was a really nice guy.
- Christian (4/5): Disappointing - Key entry to was room. Another resident’s key opened door as well and he entered my room in middle of night
- Nina (7/5): Good - Location is great close to the lake. Check in was straightforward. Room was good for single night stay for one person, too small for longer. Rooms could use a modern update especially bed linens.
- Stephanie (7/5): Worked for the purpose, but probably wouldn’t go back simply due to the mattress - Can’t beat the location! Walk to the beach in 2 minutes or walk downtown in 20. Neighbourhood was beautiful and cost was the best we could find in Kelowna The bed was terribly uncomfortable, had to check if it was a pull out couch, but it was just an old mattress.
- Mzwakithi (8/5): Very good -
- Michelle (9/5): Superb - Good location, Kitchenette, reusable dishes and soap, shampoo etc
Convenient parking
Easy check in
Nice map of kettle valley railway Did not need a living room and would have preferred to pay less for a smaller space
- Paul (3/5): Poor - Quiet location. Poor layout filled with clutter. Some basics like cutlery not available. Could be made efficient with so.me rearrangement and decluttering..
- Elfi (8/5): Next time I will book downstairs - Perfect location
- Omar (7/5): Our host dealt with all issues we had quickly and efficiently. Service was provided with a pleasant and friendly attitud - Close to the Kelowna General Hospital,
and the staff was very very quick to respond to any concerns we had, including a very late check out on the last day. Room was a little cluttered
- Go (10/5): Wonderful, slept very well - Location was great and the neighborhood is peaceful
- Betty (8/5): My stay was very pleasant. - The man who rescued me at the coded entrance was very kind and helpful. The location was within walking distance of the hospital. I always have trouble with coded door entries. Thank goodness there was someone available to help or I may not have been able to get in. The location was okay, except that there were few places to eat close by. The bed was a bit lumpy.
- Pat (8/5): Very good -
- Shelley (8/5): I would consider staying here again. - The location was good - walking distance to coffee shops and downtown. Bed was comfortable and room had what we needed for our short stay.
- Lei (8/5): Very good -
- Mike (10/5): Super place and location - I've stayed here in the past year. It's a great place and location. The owner treated me very well. I will stay anytime again in the future.
- Nworgu (1/5): Bad -
- Beom (10/5): Exceptional - Good location
- Celeste (1/5): Potential but no effort - Location to downtown Bed was terrible!!
Room was cluttered, run down, 2 tv s that didn't work, rocking chair almost ready to collapse, crooked pictures and bathroom mirror, shoe string used for fan pull, closet full of storage, room lighting terrible, bed frame over sized for the mattress, matress hard cheap and uncomfortable, beding old, mini fridge didn't work, coffee machine area dirty, front entrance dirty, towels not hung up in the bathroom, room wasn't ready until 5:00, said no financial break for unready room, gave later check out that we didn’t use or need, yard a mess. General lack of care, maintenance, and management, no sound barrier between walls and floors, bad smell, uninviting, and uncomfortable.
- Jason (9/5): Superb -
- Brian (4/5): Disappointing - We did not stay. The pink was a bit much for hubby no spa tub(jets) did not feel a calmness on entering room. We left would appreciate a refund. But as per terms pls try
- Geoff (4/5): Disappointing -
- Bilau (10/5): Exceptional - Rooms are cute and comfortable, the beach is just around the corner. Hospital and downtown are both in walking distance.
- Timothy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Boon (6/5): Pleasant -
- Wikstrom (9/5): Superb -
- Mary (10/5): Superb - Quiet and peaceful; accessible to anywhete and close to the beautiful lakeshore The place was quiet and clean
- Mustafa (10/5): Exceptional - every one anything
- Brian (5/5): good location. Overpriced for the room - The room was very cluttered. didn't like to take my shoes off at the front door. It would have been OK to take them off outside my room
- Arshpreet (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rodica (6/5): Pleasant - Great location in quiet neighborhood close to the water. I feel it was overpriced for what I got. Dark rooms, with a potpourri of decor without a theme that didn't invite relaxation. I could hear the owner/caregiver TV through the walls quite clearly. I could hear the upstairs neighbors as well. It was very cold, likely because they needed to run the AC for the upstairs which would probably get hot. I had to sleep with two blankets, but they did have extra blankets. Generally it was clean, but the surface area next to the toaster was full of crumbs, and the sink had food bits in the drainage catcher. There was a vacuum robot left on the floor which started talking loudly just as I was falliing asleep. I placed it outside my room in the entry hallway of the house, and then it started talking again at 6:00 a.m., loudly. I would not stay there again.
