Nothing to suggest... it was all good.

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.

We had quite a small room with two twin beds. Would have liked a queen instead but wasn’t an option offered on the web-site.

Friendly and helpful staff.

Everything was well done

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.

I have nothing to mention. It really was an excellent stay.

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. Your hosts are sure to help you feel comfortable and answer your needs.

I can't think of anything I would change or didn't like.

Loved the decor! Really put us back into the 1800s. Our host was warm and friendly and had great suggestions for things to do at the park. Our room was immaculate and comfy. Also the continental breakfast was amazing! So much to choose from!

It’s location - very authentic

Being a Victorian hotel, in every sense of the word, the walls are a bit thin between the rooms so I would not recommend honeymooners stay there. Not that they would not enjoy it, but guests in other rooms might be disturbed.

Breakfast was highly varied, delicious and plentiful. The ambience was terrific and the lady of the house (staff) was fantastic. We were made to feel very welcome and I would return and also recommend the hotel to others. The hotel is within the attraction of Barkerville and we were able to enjoy wandering around after the visitors had gone for the day. The long summer solstice gave us a wonderful opportunity to experience nature (fox, ground squirrels, birds, etc) as well as the fine museum quality attractions.

The weather turned cold and wet and we weren’t as prepared as we could have been. The location is remote and high in the mountains.

The is a wonderfully unique experience as you are literally sleeping in the museum. I felt like we should be dressed in period costumes. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and the bathrooms nicely updated., Rhea gave us a very warm welcome. Continental breakfast was lovely. Tea and coffee available all day in the parlour.

The performance at the waterwheel used the word Bloody a bit too much, otherwise very good

Breakfast was excellent. Big variety. Ria was the best hostess ever, i felt right at home. Too bad Judge Begby was cancelled. We hope the number of visitors will increase.

It’s inconvenient to find food after hours.

It was so cute and quaint. Felt like living in those times.

The no-see-ums in Barkerville were fierce & despite the screens, got into the room. Hint - leave the bathroom light on overnight with the door closed, they’ll migrate there. Wear long pants & a long sleeved shirt even if it’s warm. I would have liked to see more of the new owners in the downstairs lounge.

The location in a historical building right on the downtown street in Barkerville is excellent. My room was beautifully done with period furnishings but had a modern ensuite bathroom. I was able to wander the town after closing time and first thing in the morning. the upper balcony with rocking chairs was a perfect late-afternoon spot for a glass of wine watching the town shut down for the night. Barkerville restaurants shut down at 6 but you can drive 7 min to Wells for more options.

No problems.

Wonderful facility in provincial Park, recreating the gold rush era of the 1860s. Friendly staff very helpful and attentive.

Street was muddy, which is historically accurate but a pain to walk on.

Just a spectacular period hotel. Wonderful rooms, great welcoming staff, nice bathroom en suite, beautiful balcony right on the main pedestrian street of the historical town. Excellent breakfast.

All good. Don't let the thought of a shared bathroom and upstairs put you off, just pack accordingly.

Historic hotel in the middle of the main street in Barkerville. So fun! Rooms are small but well appointed and very clean and well maintained. Many rooms have shared bathrooms with one other suite. All are upstairs. This is because they are keeping the hotel authentic to its age. Just pack light as no cars allowed in the town so you have to carry your bag approximately half a block or borrow a wagon to haul your stuff. Roads are not paved so can be a bit mucky if it's raining. Parlour is lovely to sit in for the evening, coffee and tea and cookies always available. They serve a delightful breakfast there in the morning with hot and cold items and is included. The town is so quiet in the evenings and wifi is great (no cell coverage). Staff dress in period costume and are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the experience!
