I love to travel and staying in the BnB for most of my trips. I got quite impressed and surprised by the nice friendly BnB hosts, fantastic homemade breakfast and their beautiful decorated homes.
I had no luck this time at Moontide. We took the late afternoon ferry and went to have dinner with our luggage after the stop by check in. When we returned to the Moontide after dinner, It was so dark with the only dim light from the host’s unit.
We had to unload our luggage with my car’s light on. We carried our luggage, walked in the dark through watery, muddy with small rocks road.
There is NO wifi/internet in the room, Barb was so nice to share us her daughter's internet password. But need to go outside close to the canoe area, we did not go as it was dark, raining, watery and muddy outside. We could not use our cellphone data either, the reception in the house is extremely weak.
It listed the seaside room can accommodate for 4 peoples with 2 beds. It made me very disappointed when entering the room.
1. The seaside room definitely has no problem to accommodate 4 people to stay in beds, but very tight space for 3 of us moving around the room with 2 beds, 3 night stands and one folding table.
2. The folding table was full of the radio/music player, box of Kleenex, a tray of glasses, jar of water on the top. We have to sit at the edge of the beds for our coffee and tea.
3. It listed with light breakfast offered, we got 3 bananas, 3 tiny kiwi, a small jar of granola (less than one bowl) on the day we arrived, that is it! Nothing provided since then.
4. There is no clothes hanger in the cabinet.
The bathroom power socket was covered with the paper. We had to use the socket close to the table for the hair dryer, my friend switched on the kettle at the same time. The fuse blown off. We could not find the host at the farm or no response knocking her door. I informed her via BNB message.
This is the replied message from the host "please tell me what you are doing to blow the fuse. You should not be cooking in there, I told you there was no cooking facility. Also, I recycle everything and have to sort through all guest's waste to recycle it or burn tissue. Please don't dump things down the toilet.
thanks so much. there is a compost pot in the hall for food waste.
Have a wonderful day~"
Is it strange and not friendly? Why the fuse blown off relate to the toilet dumping and cooking? How can we cook without any cooking utensils?!
Salt Spring Island is one of my favourite holiday spot, I visited this island once every 2-3 years, stayed at BnB. My friend wanted to experience staying in the farm, so we pick Moontide. I want to try something different for my birthday too. It really made us very disappointed, upset for staying in Moontide for 3 nights.
