    Nothing really.

    Ria, the hotel manager was exceptional - definitely the best part and there were many great parts to this stay. Location was perfect, room was quaint and perfect - a bit small - but that is the era. The bathrooms were shared but otherwise fantastic. The breakfast was outstanding and my kids and I raved about the fresh croissants. I would go back in a heartbeat.

    Nothing to dislike.

    The opportunity to stay in a historic building within a famous gold-rush town was not to be missed. It did not disappoint. The staff were kind and helpful. The hotel is sympathetic to the period and comfortably furnished. Our room was perfect, clean with a comfortable bed. There was tea and coffee with biscuits available in the lounge throughout the day. Breakfast was great, there was plenty to eat. We had our evening meal in the House Hotel Saloon just across the way.

    Great location, quaint b and b. Period correct with staff in costumes. Lovely people. Breakfast was exceptional for a continental breakfast. Tea coffee and cookies available all day. We expected tiny rooms but it was nice to have the parlor to visit with other traveller's. Very clean and comfortable.

    ONLY complaint and it's not even a big deal. The bathroom shower head i used had a decent water void in the middle and made for an oddly awkward watering experience. It just hit your head funny and the water displayed weirdly.

    The house was beautiful. The bed was SO comfortable. The balcony was a perfect place to sit and start my day and sit reading a book at night. The breakfast was beyond my expectations. Yogurt, fruit cups, fresh fruit basket, meats and cheeses, jams and butters, hot hard boiled eggs, WARM croissants and other baked goods. Juices, coffee and tea topped it off. The bed was super comfy. I was able to have my own bathroom to myself. The wallpaper and photos were a perfect touch along with artifacts around the house. I was able to find a book on the upstairs bookshelf written in the late 1800's, it was a perfect read for one night. The lady of the house was SO amazing and was there when you needed her if you required anything. Responded quickly to messages and was just and incredible host, making the whole experience truly perfect. Barkersville it's self was amazing and the staff just add to the charm. I will bring my family back next year and enjoy it all over with them. Thank you to every single staff member seen and behind the scenes, you really make the whole experience memorable.

    The hotel is an original which makes it unique but you must be prepared for thin walls. Some guests can be thoughtless and loud. It is a reminder of the old days… so you need to be for prepared that. Most guests were lovely.

    Fun to stay in Barkerville. It was quiet in the evening and you could really experience the town.

    Our host / owner Rea was very accommodating throughout our stay. She made our Barkerville experience very enjoyable, from her initial warm greeting - later than we had originally planned - to providing us with a great breakfast., and providing an additional activity that was very much appreciated.

    Everything was in keeping with the historic nature of the place - no complaints. Only two of the 7 rooms have private bathrooms. Cars must be parked outside the park gates, but carts are provided for the short walk up the historic main street to the hotel. All bedrooms are on the 2nd floor and no elevator is available.

    This historic 19th c. Cariboo Gold Rush hotel is located on the main street in the middle of the historic Barkerville Provincial Historic Park. The park has about a hundred restored gold rush buildings, extensive interpretive programming, many restaurants and stores, a theatre, and costumed "players" to help with interpretation and entertainment. A generous continental breakfast was served.

    Thin walls as it’s an old structure- sound carries very easily- could hear people chatting and singing in the shower next door.

    Lovely old historic property- really great continental breakfast with lots of choices/ room was comfortable and ours had a private bathroom. Our hostess was incredibly helpful and friendly- there were always hot drinks and cookies and fruit available in the entrance foyer.

    Delicious continental breakfast, lots to choose from, including home baking. Wonderful to be right in Barkerville and soak up the ambiance. Room small, (they were in the “old days”) but very comfortable. Rhea, the lady running the hotel, was very helpful about information about the surrounding area.

    The location and host were excellent. The authenticity of the period of which it is modeled was wonderful to experience. It was clean and breakfast was rich with a variety of breakfast choices. If you want to escape and slip into the wonder of this fantastic and historical time in canada. This is the place for you. You will be right in the middle of everything that is Barkerville.
