Guest Reviews

• manuel (2/5): -
• John (7/5): Overall pleasant experience with some shortcomings. - Good breakfast and excellent location. Hosts were very kind. The room was quite small, about the size of an inexpensive Paris hotel room. The parking arrangement was very odd with my car wedged between a fence and very edge of the corner of the house.
• Marielle (8/5): Comfy and location walkable to waterfront. - I liked the location. The place was clean and comfortable. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. The only thing I didn't like was we had our own bathroom but we had to go through the common area to access it. Also, it was pretty warm so we had to keep the windows open and traffic was quite loud. There was a ceiling fan but we could not figure out how to use it.
• Khaw (10/5): Great location. Great room and space. Great hosts. Lovely breakfast. - Great location walking distance to downtown Kelowna, but far enough away to be quiet. Breakfast was great too!
• Yetvart (8/5): -
• Christopher (10/5): -
• Kirandeep (1/5): -
• Madeleine (5/5): Bed & Breakfast should always include contact with host, but not at this property! - Cleanliness bed and bed linen Hosts didn't want to interact with guests at all. Seemed surprised I rang the bell on arrival and did not see me again before I left. "Private bathroom" involved me entering public main floor space between my room and bathroom. My room faced noisy main highway, between property and lake beyond. Breakfast: delivered to table with no communication or choice (while I was waiting on nearby sofa). Another guest told me of its arrival. 13 minutes later host texted to say it had been served. No coffee or cup (or water glass) - so I had to find and make my own coffee.
• Anita (10/5): Had a wonderful time exploring Kelwona. Ideal location - Very clean and exceptional hosts
• Francisca (8/5): -
• Naina (10/5): We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back for a longer visit. - The hosts are very warm, friendly and accommodating. They have carefully thought of and provided for the tiniest of comfort that you could think of. The breakfast has good variety and is enough to get your day started. They also gave us excellent recommendations for sightseeing, tours, and restaurants/bars.
• Erik (10/5): -
• Trenzek (10/5): - I loved everything! The house is so well thought out with guest comfort in mind, it is beautiful and very well situated.
• M. Eva (10/5): - This was the perfect place to stay for my trip to Kelowna. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful. The room itself was spotless, comfortable, private (I had my own bathroom), and cosy. Location is ideal as you just need to cross the street to get to the downtown area. I also enjoyed the hot tub and the breakfast was delicious!
• Victoria Jane (10/5): - Beautiful b&b, great breakfast, good location and great hosts.
• Kathy (10/5): This place is a gem. If you’re looking for well priced clean comfortable accommodation check this place out! You won’t - A warm and welcoming host the property is in walking distance to downtown Kelowna. The physical setting was so nice and clean in a beautiful historical house. The house was well stocked for guests, the host goes above and beyond to ensure guests comfort. Breakfast was fresh delicious and beautifully plated!
• James (10/5): - Everything, it was a great stay. We will be back! N/A
• Philip (10/5): -
• Kathleen (8/5): A lovely shared house with breakfast, coffee and tea facilities and little chocolates in our room. - Spacious interior with a nice Japanese energy. Comfortable big bed and lots of wardrobe space in the bedroom Although we could see on the photo there was a busy road nearby, it was a bit more noisy than we had expected.
• Bruce (10/5): Perfect - Great property , amazing hosts, will be back

• Jonina Elisa (10/5): -
• Adele (9/5): - It was great. Quiet and clean. Private. Close to downtown. Perfect One thing is we couldn't figure out how to turn on the ceiling fan in our room.

• Lauren (9/5): -
• Delphine (10/5): Un B&B exceptionnel, un accueil chaleureux et un emplacement parfait. - L'emplacement est super, à deux pas du centre-ville, des restos et de la promenade sur le bord de l'eau mais tranquille. Les chambres, les salles de bain, et les lieux communs sont très propres, bien décorés, accueillants. La chambre est vraiment confortable, avec même un petit chocolat de bienvenue! J'ai adoré. Le lit est très confortable. Le petit-déjeuner est exceptionnel, Mitsuko et Norm vous apporte une assiette complète, gourmande et généreuse à l'heure que vous leur indiquez la veille, c'était délicieux! Merci. Pour ceux qui ont besoin d'un parking, il y a de la place sur le site. Rien! Tout était plus que parfait! Je recommande à 300% et si je reviens dans le coin, je reviendrai! Merci pour l'accueil.
• Leigh (10/5): Absolutely stay here- beautiful,clean space with an amazing breakfast and friendly hosts! - The Hikari-Okanagan is an absolute gem! Wish I could have stayed a few days in this beautiful home! The breakfast was fabulous and the hosts were very friendly! Nothing- it was just a fabulous place

• William (10/5): -
• Donald (10/5): I enjoyed it to the fullest! - Breakfasts were delightful.
• Wentao (10/5): - tasty breakfast
• Rachel (10/5): - Fab breakfast, great location Received too many emails prior to the stay
• Rick (9/5): - Would have liked mpre yogurt, fruit and granola
• Jin Hee (10/5): -
• Benjamin (8/5): Generally enjoyable, with a few flaws - Spacious and beautiful home with many comfortable common areas; owners are lovely and accommodating people. In a good location for Kelowna. Decent breakfast. I generally enjoyed my stay, but there are a few things guests might want to know about: 1) Although air conditioning is listed as a feature, there is no air conditioning in the rooms themselves. While there is a portable air conditioner in the main (common) area, I'm not sure how effective this would be during really warm weather, especially if you wanted to keep the door to your room shut. This was not an issue during my stay as the weather was unseasonably cool for late June, but if the weather was warmer it would have been disappointing to not have in-room AC, especially because two of the bedrooms are on the top floor and presumably get warm. 2) You cannot lock your bedroom door from the outside - so when you are not in your room, there is no security for your valuables. 3) The room itself is fairly small, and the door to the ensuite bathroom is a barn door that leaves a bit of a gap between it and the wall. I stayed alone, but this is not ideal if you are staying with a partner.
• Yiwen (10/5): An extremely perfect stay experience，I will come back :) -
• Connor (10/5): -
• Julie (9/5): Lovely, cozy and at home place! - The location was very nice. The host was very responsive and accommodating. The place has a nice layout and feels very homey. The breakfast was wonderful too! Everything was nice, no complaints. Except no light outside, but if your not gonna be out using the hot tube than it’s not a problem!
• Dunlop (10/5): A hidden little Gem. - A beautiful little B&B right down town Kelowna in the historic heritage corridor on Riverside/Abbott Street. Walking distance to lots of restaurants and shopping. Also walking distance to Kelowna General Hospital. The full breakfasts were excellent. Fresh, healthy and very filling. Furnishing so lovely. Spotlessly clean. Modern and vintage. Proprietors are just a lovely couple. We would have liked to stay longer but picking a patient up from KGH. Wish we had a longer stay. We will be back for sure.
• Alla (10/5): - Amazing property, like a boutique design hotel
• Benedict (10/5): Spacious and comfortable, near restaurants, wonderful breakfast. - Lots of shared space outside the bedroom. Kitchen, living area, backyard, hot tub. Great decor and furnishings. Exceptional breakfast. Designated parking space outside the garage (good instructions with images). Friendly hostess. 5 mins drive to an area with lots of dining options. Nothing.
• Angelika (10/5): Just amaizng! Very kind host, clean and very well kept place great location and really good value for money ! - Everything! The location, price, how well equipped rooms and common areas were, very kind hosts and very accommodating. We had our anniversary during our stay and were greeted with little touch of sweet snacks and a beautiful decorated room.
• Klara (10/5): -
• Heather (10/5): This was such a great place for the value, we will be back! - The location was perfect. We were so close to downtown Kelowna that we walked over to explore the city. There really wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
• Fabienne (10/5): - to start simple: 10/10!! we were warmly welcomed by the hosts when we arrived which was very nice. the shared house has 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room and the cherry on top: a hot tub. so it’s really cozy and hospitable. everything was lovely decorated and clean, our room we stayed in was also comfortable. we could tell the hosts when we‘d like to have our breakfast and the next morning the food was thoughtfully arranged at the given time, so cute!! the location is also perfect, it’s near the city centre of kelowna by car, but therefore it‘s also a quiet neighbourhood, which we appreciated. all in all, I totally recommend staying here, we absolutely enjoyed our stay and I‘d 100% book again, when I revisit kelowna!! totally worth it! nothing, it was perfect!
• ANDREW (10/5): -

• Isabelle (10/5): 10/10 would highly recommend - Super clean, cozy and modern, central only 10 min walk to the city centre, nice owner, requested a vegetarian breakfast and it was amazing Close to the highway, you might hear car noises in the night
• YING YING (10/5): - 整個住處非常漂亮，是我喜歡的風格，外面還有一棵大樹。浴室乾淨明亮，備品齊全。簡單的早餐也不錯。 唯一的缺點是床有點太軟（我喜歡硬床），但其他都很棒。
• Shelly (10/5): Mitsuko and Norm are friendly and prepare wonderful breakfasts and a quiet and secure environment. - It was the perfect location for walking downtown and seeing the sights. I don't have any complaints.
• Ken (9/5): -
• Jens-Christian (9/5): Schöner Aufenthalt - Sehr nette Gastgeber und gemütliche Unterkunft. Gute Erreichbarkeit der Innenstadt. Unmittelbar an der Schnellstraßen gelegen
• lukas (10/5): Es war toll hier zu sein. Es passte alles - Familiär. Sehr gutes Frühstück -
• Maria (8/5): It was a very nice stay we had. We can recomand the stay to other people. - The check in was easy. The house was very cozy and clean. The house was close to Down town. The doors to the bathroom were not stabile.
• Jordan (9/5): -
• Leanda (9/5): - Great location and attractive house. Hosts helpful but gave you privacy. Breakfast delicious.
• Dirk (7/5): - Das Frühstück war sehr gut angerichtet.

• Yujia (10/5): -
• Ron (9/5): -
• Kayla (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay from start to finish! The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we could enjoy the hot tub and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Breakfast was incredible! Would definitely stay here again!
• Karen (10/5): Calm and relaxing environment in a historic neighborhood that is close to a thriving waterfront. - The place is lovely. I don't think the photos do it justice. It's a beautifully renovated and decorated 100 year old home. Some of the charming characteristics of the original home remain. It is located in a historic neighborhood. We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood reading kiosks of history and admiring the architecture and gardens. It's close to the lakeside area that is full of restaurants, sights, and a walking promenade. The B&B is spacious with several areas to relax and take in the ambience. We enjoyed the breakfast which was tasty and served attractively. The outdoor spaces were inviting but we didn't have time to enjoy them. Highly recommend this place. The home is located near a busy street but my husband was able to cancel out the noise with ear plugs that were provided. I cannot think of anything. The owners successfully anticipated visitor's needs.
• Torsten (9/5): Tolle Ausstattung - für einen Kurzaufenthalt empfehlenswert ! - Nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeber - aber immer mit dem Respekt vor Privatsphäre. Zu Fuss auf tollem Weg zur Promenade und zum Yachthafen, Restaurants etc. Frühstück „auf Mass“ 💪 Vernünftige, gepflegte Gegend. Wurde schon ein paar mal erwähnt. Nach hinten raus ist sehr Nahe der Highway und man hat den dichten Verkehr direkt vor der Nase. Schade, weil mindestens im Sommer die Fenster geöffnet werden müssen. Soll aber wirklich die einzige negative Anmerkung sein.
• Julie (10/5): Lovely stay close to downtown Kelowna. - Very wall placed for the park and downtown Kelowna. Hosts were very welcoming and the breakfast was wonderful. It is very close to the main highway so there is traffic noise.
• Kathryn (10/5): - Absolutely fabulous b&b with awesome breakfasts. Great hosts and lovely facilities and location. I have never had a room with so much storage and all sorts of hooks and hangars. An amazing 90 year old house fully updated but still full of character.
• LOK (8/5): - Easy to get to, very nice facilities. Good value for money, friendly hosts.
• Mary (9/5): - I loved the location, being in a walking distance in the city proper. Just the door that did not work upon opening.
• Gerald (9/5): - Proche du centre ville
• Aaron (10/5): -
• Ruqing (7/5): -
• Yuxin (10/5): Excellent experience! Comfy bed and amazing breakfast - Loved the hospitality from Norm and Mitsuko! The room was nice and spacious, bedding was very comfy after a long day of hiking. Best of all was their breakfast! They were also so kind to let me drop off some of my items the night before. It's a full brunch with egg, sausage, potato, salad and a bunch of fruits. Truly beats all hotel breakfasts I've had. Loved everything
• DAN (9/5): -
• Lyn (6/5): - Central location, nice breakfast , friendly host who gave us an early check in, comfy bed Constant noise from the room day and night earplugs provided but not easy to sleep with them.Bed was v close to sliding door to en-suite which couldn’t close fully so little privacy in the bathroom. Bedroom was not v big and description of garden view was not what I was expecting
• Marika (10/5): Amazing stay - Amazing breakfast, great accommodation and lovely hosts!
• Tanya (8/5): We enjoyed our stay at Hickory – Okanagan sunshine B&B. Would be quite a nice place to stay in the cooler months whe - We enjoyed the amount of space devoted to guests, outdoor seating options, complete morning breakfasts, the cleanliness, the friendliness of the hosts and the ideal proximity to the historic downtown and beaches. Good to come in the daylight, as access to this property is in an alley. My own fault, but didn’t readily see a plug in source to recharge our vehicle. Parking is tight. Noise level from the vehicle traffic from the bridge connecting West Kelowna to Kelowna proper is pretty heavy at most times - the hosts do provide earplugs, but you may want to bring your own comfortable earpieces.
• Leodegario (9/5): It was a great experience to stay and have a nice chat to the couple owner, who is very accommodatin - Breakfast was simple but healthy, love their coffee. Location was great, it's just 5 minutes drive to the downtown. It could be better if not close to the highway.
• Colin (10/5): Great stay, would highly recommend and would stay again! - Fantastic breakfasts, clean, lovely decks to sit outside, spacious and comfortable inside with great bed. Gracious hosts. Location amazing. Walked to beach, restaurants and cultural district A bit warm in bedrooms, ran air conditioner and ceiling fan a lot.
• Yuka (10/5): -
• Amelia (10/5): An amazing B&B - the best place I've ever stayed - This was truly one of the best accommodation experiences my husband and I have ever experienced. We were in town for a triathlon and Mitsuko and Norm were incredibly kind and just delightful hosts. They were also very accommodating and even made us a packed breakfast for the day of the race since we wouldn't be around during breakfast time. Both that and the 'proper' breakfast we had the day after were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend you go here and I hope I get the chance to stay there again! Everything was great! I can't think of a single thing I would change.

• Hannah (9/5): - Sehr großzügiges, schönes und sauberes B&B in guter Lage. Nichts
• MikeCW (10/5): - Location was in an amazing quiet neighborhood steps from the beach and a short walk downtown
• Robyn (9/5): I enjoyed my two night stay. I was visiting my son here and the location was perfect. The beds were comfortable and the - The location was walking distance to the beach and restaurants I’m not used to sharing with owners and other guests, however everyone was lovely.
• Tina (10/5): - Had a great stay at Hikari-Okanogan Sunshine! Hosts were gracious. House was clean and well appointed and the bed super comfy. The location was excellent with downtown within easy walking distance.
