Rustic Beaverfoot Lodge Room N5

A éviter a tout prix

La vue, magnifique.

− Tout le reste ! Le lieu est sale à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur, particulièrement dans les parties communes : souris vivantes et mortes, draps sales, poubelles qui débordent sans que cela ne semble affecter le personnel, lampe défectueuse, aucun évier dans la cuisine, abords mal entretenus...

Not worth the relatively low price tag

Upon arrival the staff was friendly and showed us around. The setting is very pretty.

− I am an avid traveler and was looking for a good place to sleep while enjoying a trip to explore the National parks - did not need to be fancy. However, there are some vital details missing from this listing. The first is that the lodge is equivalent to a hostel. I stayed in room 5N and there are a series of 2 inch holes drilled into the floor for some reason that lead to the kitchen area. As a result, I could hear (and smell) everything from the kitchen, which is of course a shared area. Finally, there is some sort of cistern inside the lodge that is connected to the sewer. The first night there was a terrible smell throughout the building, which we couldn't place and staff said they didn't notice - which is impossible. But we arrived late and just wanted to sleep. The next day, we expressed concern again and noticed the indoor well area and the smell was very strong coming from it. I spoke to several people and no one directly spoke to my concern. However, when we arrived back a pump was going and I think they were clearing out the water. Anyway, we decided not to stay at another place for the rest of our trip. It was really concerning to us that the staff wouldn't answer our questions about the smell or the well inside the lodge. I think it's important to note here for others looking to stay.

Nothing

− This was an extremely disappointing stay. The bedroom lighting was not working, there was no hot water, and there were no staff available to help resolve any of these issues. The toilets on the first floor were dirty and poorly maintained, and the mosquito screen on the bedroom window was damaged and ineffective, allowing insects into the room. To make matters worse, the hotel is located in a very remote area that requires driving approximately 13 km on a rough gravel road. While traveling to the hotel, I got a flat tire and had to spend a couple of hours dealing with the repair. There was no internet connection in this area. After driving on the gravel road, my car was completely covered in dirt, and I had to make an extra stop at a car wash. I would not recommend staying here. I was confused that Booking proposed such "hotels".

Nice Staff- Avoid the lodge and no electricity for 12 hours a day!

We ended up renting the Dream Cabin. The cabin was beautiful and comfy, and we loved its solitude. The staff, especially Tim, were exceptional!

− OH... here is the list. First... it took us almost 90 minutes to find the resort. Consider putting up a sign or two. We originally booked in the lodge. When we arrived and walked into the lodge it stunk- like the smell was horrendous and unbearable. My hair smelled for 2 days! Also, if you are allergic to cats, like I am, they have a cat in there, and it doesn't look like they have cleaned for some time. Everything was dingy. Tim was super great, and we agreed to stay and rent the "Dream" cabin (for an additional fee- but that was ok with us). The Dream Cabin is super cute.. however, they don't tell you on the website that all of the electric/power is turned off at 10:30 each night. And then, in the morning, I woke up and text Tim about turning the electric back on (as we couldn't charge our phones, take a shower, nothing...) and he finally turned it on at 10:45am- much, much later getting out and doing things than we wanted/planned- but without charged phones, we had no GPS. If you want rustic, this is the place- but, I think no electricity should be advertised on the website!

À éviter.

La vue est jolie.

− Quelle déception. Le strict minimum en matière d’accueil n’est pas assuré. Nous n’avons pas eu d’eau chaude pendant toute la durée du séjour, sans avoir été prévenus au préalable. Des coupures d’électricité sont survenues dès le début de la soirée et ont duré jusqu’à notre départ le lendemain. Il n’y avait pas de Wi-Fi, et le personnel, très peu présent, n’était pas en mesure de répondre à nos besoins les plus élémentaires. La cuisine n’en est pas vraiment une : le réfrigérateur est tombé en panne pendant la nuit (à la suite de la coupure de courant), il n’y avait ni plaque de cuisson ni évier. C’est particulièrement contraignant lorsque le logement se trouve à 41 km du supermarché le plus proche. Dans notre chambre, la fenêtre ne fermait pas en raison d’une poignée cassée, et la moustiquaire était endommagée, laissant entrer des dizaines de moustiques. Nous remercions malgré tout le personnel présent sur place, qui a fait de son mieux pour nous aider, mais dont les efforts étaient limités par le délabrement de l’établissement. Au vu de notre expérience, ce logement ne répond pas aux standards que l’on est en droit d’attendre d’une annonce sur Booking.

Heureusement que la vue est belle et que le tarif était abordable

L’emplacement en pleine nature est top et la chambre était confortable.

− Personnel quasi inexistant. L’électricité et l’eau chaude sont en option… C’est dommage de devoir demander au personnel de faire démarrer un groupe électrogène de chantier pour avoir de la lumière. Nous avons dû aller dans une autre lodge du domaine pour prendre une douche chaude (pas d’eau chaude dans le bâtiment principal). La cuisine commune ne possède pas de plaques de cuisson pour cuisiner ni d’évier. Le personnel ne savait pas si l’eau était potable.
