Guest Reviews

• Guangqing (8/5): - Booking
• Kathleen (9/5): Excellent view and location - The view and the location close to walking paths Could have used some heating
• Hilary (8/5): Fabulous views, comfortable rooms - Spectacular Views Clean and comfortable Strange position for the TV Couldn’t use appliances together… Noise from immediate neighbours
• tim (8/5): Fabulous views and a great sunrise - The setting was fantastic with amazing views of the bay. The electric lights were not working very well in the bedroom
• Colleen (9/5): Great stay!! - Lovely host, amazing views. Nice kitchen with everything we needed. Local wildlife.
• Maja (10/5): - Die Größe der Wohnung, die Ausstattung und vor allem der grandiose Blick auf die Bucht
• Dong (9/5): - 景色绝佳
• Susanne (10/5): Traumhaft - Traumhafte Aussicht Etwas hellhörig vom oberen Stockwerk
• Thijs (9/5): -
• Linda (8/5): Beautiful view! Has some amenities, coffee, shampoo, etc. staff was welcoming - Beautiful view. Bed could use an upgrade, as well as linens. Noise from upstairs at 5:30am woke us up but we watched the sun rise so wasn’t so bad.
• Ellerman (10/5): Beautiful, welcoming and great views - Beautiful view and facilities were well taken care of. Overall the place was spectacular I liked everything, I will be back
• Mary Anne (10/5): Two thumbs up! We'll surely return - The host, the view, cleanliness, well equipped! Nothing! Everything's lovely!
• Zihan (10/5): -
• jackie (10/5): Highly recommended, very friendly and helpful owners - Lovely clean and well equipped unit. The views are absolutely spectacular! Na
• M (10/5): -
• Alina (10/5): - It was unforgettable! Breathtaking views. Very hot at night in the room.
• Volker (10/5): Sensationelle Unterkunft mit einem traumhaft schönen Ausblick - Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Die Straßenschuhe zieht man bereits im Eingangsbereich aus und dafür Flip Flops an. Dann diese Aussicht auf die Bay und bei gutem Wetter bis Vancouver. Einfach unglaublich.
• Isabel (10/5): -
• Mark (9/5): Comfortable apartment with exceptional views - Great location, fantastic views (we saw a humpback whale while we had breakfast!)
• Sutton-James (7/5): The view is unquestionably brilliant and difficult to beat. The space could be so much more..... - Fantastic view, comfortable beds, good and warm, the bedrooms are nicely separated and it is a good size venue. The towels were warn out, the bathmat was disgusting, the paintings on the wall were faded and out of date. The cutlery was mismatched. The cutting board had a hole in it. The washing machine and dryer were under the TV in the living room! No area rug, just two couches set in the corner looking at the washing machine!
• Iryna (9/5): -
• Cheryl (10/5): Gibraltar Rock B&B far exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again. - The view was absolutely breathtaking. We were upgraded from a queen room to a suite, which was a very pleasant surprise. The suite was well appointed, the bed was super comfortable and the ice cubes in the freezer and pitcher of water in the fridge were nice touches. We were in an end suite so we had that added privacy. Our only regret was not being able to stay for longer. We would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a peaceful, stress free place to stay.
• Catherine (10/5): - La difficulté à trouver l’hôtel
• Yevhen Fesenko (10/5): - If you're looking for a cozy place with a stunning and unforgettable view, I highly recommend this! It's a very warm house with everything you could need! Thanks to the hosts for the delicious breakfast! Having visited this place in winter, we're already planning to return in the spring or summer!
• Christoph (10/5): Wenn wir 11 Sterne vergeben könnten, würden wir dies sehr gerne tun. - Suite im unteren Geschoss spitze. Alles vorhanden, ausreichend Platz. Die Aussicht auf das Meer war die Schönste, welche wir jeh hatten. Der Gastgeber war super freundlich und hat uns jeden Morgen ein super Frühstück in die Wohnung gebracht.
• Mirabai (10/5): Highly recommend - Spectacular view, spacious and well equipped Steep steps to room
• David (6/5): -
• Michelle (9/5): Lovely place - View Access
• Kristin (9/5): -
• Kristin (9/5): -
• yvonne (8/5): - plek, uitzicht, goed bed, mooie ruimte. gehorig en wat rumoer, maar gelukkig s nachts stil
• Cynthia (6/5): - Million dollar view One roll of toilet paper for three people for three days Coffee/tea supplies but no coffee filters Basic decor, could use an update but comfortable and pristine Instructions ask that occupants refrain from cooking as smoke detector is near kitchen Washer and dryer available in suite
• Laurel (8/5): Beautiful setting.kind host. - The view was amazing and the layout felt very fresh.The host was kind. I didnt like that i couldn't deadbolt the door from the inside. the outside door you can lock, but the one that leads to the main house is locked but there isnt a bolt for the guest to lock from their side.
• H. Bolz (9/5): Einfach top - Die Aussicht aus den Zimmern mitten aufs Meer ist der hammer. Einfach total schön. Die Ausstattung ist super. Alles war sehr sauber und der Vernieter war sehr freundlich. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist top.
• Calvin (10/5): Quite simply, stunning. - Charles made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived. The view from our room was incredible. The morning sunrise was exceptional as was the breakfast served by Charles on our balcony. N/A
• MARTINE (6/5): - Vue extérieure sur terrasse exceptionnelle face a l’océan Appartement un peu froid . Décoration très limitée
• Rebecca (10/5): - This large and lovely home is situated in a serene upscale neighborhood north of Nanaimo proper. My girlfriends and I rented two rooms. Both rooms had spectacular, unobstructed views. Charles, the owner/manager, was a delight. Some beautiful beach walks are only a five-minute drive away, but would not be easy for 70 y.o. knees to walk to due to the steepness of the road up the house. Also, come prepared with any snacks, as there are no convenience stores nearby. We would definitely visit again.
• Gerald (10/5): - Fantastic
• Jean (10/5): - Very scenic views. Lovely host. Big room with balcony for views.
• Cheryl (6/5): - Breakfast is at a cost. Facility not very clean. Has a beautiful ocean view.
• Eddie (10/5): Good view B&B house. - this beautiful B&B house is really good, host is friendly and helpful , good breakfast . Only the location are little bit difficult to find, but GPS can show the way easy.
• Shar (9/5): -
• Linda (9/5): Bel endroit! - La vue incroyable. Les équipements. La propreté. Rien
• Elizabeth (9/5): -
• Silke (9/5): - Natürlich der tolle Ausblick, aber auch die ruhige Lage
• Boma (10/5): - Didn't realize the ocean could look that nice till i saw it at night from my balcony
• Paul (10/5): - Comfortable and Quiest, just what I needed
• Denise (10/5): - This place was amazing with the the most incredible views from the deck. The rooms were spotlessly clean. Our host showed us our rooms and was very nice and accommodating with any questions we had. I would love to stay here again!
• George (8/5): Geweldig uitzicht - panoramisch uitzicht Voor B&B was ontbijt niet inclusief!
• Elisa Michela (8/5): -
• Dr. Uwe (5/5): Tolle Lage, sehr, sehr schöne Aussicht – wir würden trotzdem nicht wiederkommen - Die Unterkunft besticht durch ihre tolle Lage, vom Balkon des Anwesens hat man einen tollen Ausblick auf den Pazifik. Das ist wirklich wunderschön. Das Zimmer ist nicht wirklich separat, man geht durch die Wohnung, das Gastgebers. Unser Zimmer lag direkt neben der Waschküche unter der Küche. Leider hat unser Gastgeber während unseres Aufenthaltes öfters gekocht, den Geruch konnte man gut in dem Zimmer wahrnehmen. Unser Zimmer war relativ klein, das Mobiliar etwas zusammen gewürfelt und man vermisst zwei Sitzmöglichkeiten, ebenso einen Tisch, wo man etwas abstellen kann. Es gibt einen kleinen Kühlschrank mit ungefähr 15 l Fassungsvolumen, eine Kaffeemaschine, und eine Mikrowelle. Dazu gibt es einen ein Extra Bad. Das Bett war relativ klein, die Matratze total durch gelegen und leider hat es auch noch gequietscht. Das Zimmer insgesamt war sehr sauber. Vom Zimmer konnte man auf einen Balkon herausgehen und die Aussicht genießen, wir haben Polster für die Balkon Stühle vermisst. Nicht ganz so ein B & B Konzept passt, dass man für das Frühstück selber extra bezahlen muss. Der Gastgeber berechnet zehn Dollar pro Person, wir haben nicht sehr umfangreich gefrühstückt, so dass er uns zehn Dollar erlassen hat. Wir empfinden, wenn eine B & B Werbung gemacht wird, sollte man diesen Konzept erfolgen und ein Frühstück sollte unabhängig von dem Preis auch mit enthalten sein.
• SHI (9/5): -
• Evan (10/5): - Well cared for. Outstanding view!!!
• Vishal (10/5): - View was awesome and they host very well. Everything was perfect
• JR (10/5): - It was so nice waking up to the sunrise with the huge window facing the ocean. The owners were super friendly and even found our sunglasses we forgot behind.
• Marion (10/5): Fantastic first night in Canada - Spacious, well equipped and amazing views Nothing
• Laurent (9/5): - Spectacular view! Moreover the house is surrouded by wildlife! Great place! Nice owner! Nothing...
• A.Bol (9/5): - Werkelijk een fantastische plek te verblijven met prachtig zicht over de zee. Host was zeer attent en behulpzaam. Beter kan niet
• Ronald (9/5): - Aussicht von der Terrasse
• Dror (9/5): Great value - Very nice, big, clean and equipped room Great view from the room Quiet The only downside is that there is no AC
• Michel (10/5): - Excellent hébergement, très propre et confortable. La vue est incroyable. Le propriétaire est très gentil.
• Jin (10/5): - Amazing view! 15 min from center of town, but that’s how you get the view.
• Yvonne (9/5): -
• Madison (10/5): -
• Greg (10/5): - Great view. Nice and clean and comfortable.
• Sabine (10/5): Exceptionnel le soir et au petit matin - Logement extrêmement propre et soigné. Lits très confortable et vue absolument exceptionnelle. Le bémol que certains ont mentionné concernant la terrasse qui n'est pas réellement privative ne nous a pas déranger dans la mesure où il n'y avait personne à côté. En toute honnêteté, je ne pense pas qu'il y ait beaucoup de passage car c'est juste un passage pour se rendre à l'autre hébergement (donc pas un trafic intense). J'ai passé un excellent mais trop court séjour. Le lave linge et le sèche linge étaient bienvenus Peut-être un peu excentré et le fait qu'on ne comprenne pas, quand on réserve, qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un hôtel mais d'un appartement indépendant chez un particulier. Mais en soi, ce n'est pas gênant
• Christian (10/5): -
• Jeannette (7/5): Mooi uitzicht en aardige host - Het uitzicht was erg mooi, Charles de host is erg aardig, kamers schoon en ontbijt goed verzorgd. Deze zit er niet standaard bij en kost € 10 pp per keer. Wij vonden het minder fijn dat we kamers hadden naast de slaapkamers/keuken van de eigenaar. Het was niet gescheiden en hierdoor liep je steeds in de privacy zones. Huis is erg druk en rommelig. Beneden is blijkbaar een appartement met woonkamer, keuken en 2 slaapkamers. Ik denk dat je hier meer privacy hebt. Maar deze worden op een ander platform aangeboden.
• Franziska (5/5): Aussicht top, ein Zimmer ok, das andere ein Flop. - Die wunderbare Aussicht und der Balkon! Wir haben 2 Zimmer gebucht. Beide haben gleich viel gekostet. Das eine wae sehr gross und geräumig. Wir hatten das sehr kleine. Dabei musste man durch die Wohnung der Vermieter gehen. Unser Zimmer war gleich neben der Küche. Auch wenn der Vermieter nicht speziell laut war, so hatten wir spät am Abend und wieder früh am Morgen Lärm aus der Küche. Dieses Zimmer dürfte nur zum halben Preis angeboten werden und es müsste klar deklariert werden, dass es Lärm aus der Küche gibt und man durch die Wohnung laufen muss (die meisten AirBnB Interkünfte sind privater). Zudem müsste es für jedes der 4 Zimmer spezifische Fotos und Beschriebe geben. Auch beim zweiten Zimmer musste man durchs Haus, aber das war weniger stöhrend und das Zimmer entsprach den Fotos. Nur die anderen beiden Zimmer haben private Eingänge. Es wäre angessen, wenn wir eine kleine Gutschrift für eine nächste Buchung erhalten würden. Booking.com hat hier definitiv nicht die notwendige Qualitätskontrolle vorgenommen (ansonsten macht booking.com das ja sehr gut!).
• Sylvia (9/5): Very pleasant stay. It would have gotten 10 out of 10, if we hadn't had noisy neighbors. - The view was absolutely amazing. It doesn't get better than this. The rooms were very clean and everything one could need was available. We were running late for check-in, but the owner was very flexible and didn't mind we arrived shortly before 10pm. He was easy to communicate with. The place has two units that are rented out. Unfortunately we were there at the same time as a family with smaller children, one of which was crying and screaming quite a bit. Usually we don't mind this (as we have kids ourselves), but the walls are far from sound proof and we were woken at 6am. Not something we were looking for while being on vacation. So if you prefer your peace and quiet, I'd wouldn't recommend this suite. Unless you book both units. ;-)
• Mary (10/5): - Very welcoming and helpful host. We had everything we needed or wanted. We Both found the bed quite comfortable. A bit away from downtown, But quick and straightforward to get back and forth by car.
• Claire (10/5): - Amazing views, very spacious, wonderful host, breakfast bought to the apartment was great.
• shalena (6/5): - Clean and comfy. Nothing special. Renting a room from owner who resides there with family.
• Rodney (10/5): - Absolutely spectacular view!
• Daniel (8/5): - No AC, we were here when it was 33 C. Everything else was great.
• Karl (9/5): Perfect for 1 night to start our trip - Incredible view
• Sherri (10/5): Like Staying with Family! - Beautiful location & view. Unfortunately raining, cloudy & we arrived on a later ferry. All the fault of our own planning. Very clean & comfortable. Shared entry way with family & other guests as described.
• ELIANE (8/5): - Petit déjeuner correct. La vue des coursives magnifique
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful views and wildlife. Friendly owners. - We had a very short stay here, but Charles was very friendly and accommodating. Easy check in. The view was outstanding and the sunrise gorgeous. You do share a deck with another unit and the guests do walk past your windows. This is sold as a bed and breakfast which in my experience is normally a free breakfast with stay but they charge 10$ per person. However, I would recommend staying here.
• Julian (9/5): -
• Isabella (6/5): Welcoming host, outstanding views, needs modernisation - A warm welcome from the host. The room had a wrap around view of the bay. From the balcony we saw lots of birds and with binoculars we saw whales out in the ocean. The suite was clean. The bed was slightly too soft. The coffee etc needs modernising. Our toilet was an adjoining door to the kitchen so you could hear the house. We go to bed early. Someone was talking very loudly and clanking pans and cupboard doors still at 11pm.
• Mikel (10/5): - We had an excellent stay! The hosts were truly amazing; friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The room was spotless, with a comfortable bed and a welcoming atmosphere. The bathroom was equally clean and well-maintained, stocked with everything we needed. We really appreciated the great hospitality, from the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, outstanding service, and amazing views.
• Josien (10/5): Fantastisch - Uitzicht / hygiene
• SHELAN (9/5): Loved Everything, especially the view. - Everything, especially the view. None
• LISE (8/5): - Le lieu! Vue magnifique depuis le balcon Logement spacieux Pas de plaque de cuisson juste un micro ondes Les rideaux sont moyennement occultants malgrè stores + rideaux la lumière passe le matin Le Check out pourrait être à 11 am ( 10 h du matin c’est tôt )
• Christine (10/5): - The owner was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our room was very comfortable and the view from our private balcony was awesome! We are always on the lookout for whales and this location was perfect. We spotted about 20 separate humpback whales at different times including a few mothers with active, entertaining calves. Putting the whole experience together it was a fantastic bargain.
• HIROSHI (9/5): - 高台にあり、バルコニーからの眺望は抜群。下には砂州と干潟があり、海の向こうには大陸を臨む好立地。 部屋は広く清潔でインテリアにも好感が持てました。シャワーと浴槽が別にあるのは贅沢です。 キッチンスペースに、水道と流しがあれば完璧でした。コップや食器を洗面台で洗うしかなかったのは、とても残念でした。
• Jingyuan (10/5): -
• Heather (10/5): - THE VIEW, the location, and the service and kindness of the owners were all far above what I expected. We felt safe, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our family. The huge balcony and the epic view were so special. We watched whales at sunset right from the comfort of our balcony. There are some exterior shared spaces with other guests, but we never even saw anyone else on property. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!
• Stephen (10/5): - Friendly owners. Amazing view.
• Aaron (10/5): The sound of silence - If you like a beautiful view with peace and quiet, you will love this
• Louis (10/5): - Wonderful
• Susan (8/5): - Charles is very gracious host. The view from the property is beautiful. The property is advertised as a “bed and breakfast” but should be “bed and optional (for a fee) breakfast”. We also felt a bit uncomfortable in our bedroom being adjacent to our host’s living room and dining room. Our bathroom had a door next to the dining room. We could hear their conversations quite clearly through the door of the bedroom.
• Christoph (9/5): - Sehr gutes Frühstück. Tolle Aussicht.
• Tracy (10/5): - Everything absolutely fabulous would definitely return and suggest to everyone Nothing
• William (8/5): The view is very special - Wonderful location with sweeping views. The ‘living’ area/ kitchenette was motel like. Tiny couch.
• chad (10/5): - We felt very welcome and the view is amazing. We will definatley be back again very soon
• Judith (9/5): Sehr netter Gastgeber. Schöne Umgebung. Zimmer sehr sauber und einfach eingerichtet - Tolle Aussicht.
• Heather (9/5): - Amazing views and very comfortable and well appointed room. Friendly greeting on arrival. The room.was very quiet. We left very early so had no formal check out It was a little hard to be sure we had arrived at the right place and to be sure where to park
• Shiquan (10/5): -
