Guest scores & sentiment

From 77 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-20

Guests consistently praise the clean, comfortable rooms with in-room sinks, generous breakfast with varied options, and friendly hosts. The location near Glacier Lagoon offers quiet surroundings. However, several reviewers note that shared toilets and showers are insufficient for the number of rooms, causing morning queues. Kitchen access is heavily restricted to a kettle and microwave with time limits, and some find the price high relative to these constraints and house rules.
