Overall Ratings & Reviews Basecamp Lodge Golden

Quick easy clean. Walk it out from the bar, down the river.

A nice place. Convenient to Kicking Horse. Being a wood structure, there are some floor squeaks.

This is a hostel not a hotel. The central area is really nice but the rooms are tiny and you may as well be sharing a room with your neighbours as you can literally hear everything they say. The shower stall was the same stall you see in every 1970s home basement renovation. Just not ok to call this a hotel.

Great location on the road to the ski hill. Clean comfortable room with good amenities. A breakfast option was the only thing missing - the coffee bar is great, but it would be nice to be able to have breakfast on site.

Bascamp is a great place to use in Golden for a warm and comfortable place to stay. Staff are very friendly!

AMAZING STAFF AND PLACE TO STAY

Superficially, Basecamp Lodge at Golden checks all the boxes: helpful staff, cosy log cabin atmosphere in the common area, fireplace well stoked, excellent mattresses. However, corners seem to have been cut in the Lodge's construction. Walls are very thin. I could hear everything from the room next door, and plumbing activated from above instigated a veritable hurricane of sloshing sounds. Luckily, skiers are an early-to-bed bunch, so I did eventually get enough rest.

Super great place!

The manager, Danielle was very pleasant and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again when skiing Kicking Horse.

The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean. The view was excellent. The walls are thin between the rooms. The fan in the room was handy to drown out the sound of the neighbours.

Nice and clean. Staff is friendly.

Had a really wonderful stay here while skiing Kicking Horse. A wonderful home “base” for adventures in Golden. Nice rooms, super cozy shared space. No complaints.

We had a cozy stay for 3 nights. Lodge is lovely, and the great room/ common area is terrific for relaxing, eating your own snacks, playing cards or reading about the area in front of the fireplace. 24/7 hot beverages is a wonderful touch, with microwave and sink, tables and chairs available for use. We loved all of that. Be aware: the rooms are cozy and somewhat small, and absolutely not soundproof in the part we stayed in. However, we laughed this off because the location and price and overall vibe of the place was perfect for our needs. (Ear plugs are provided along with soaps and hand cream) Beds were comfy, staff was lovely, and the self check-in if done in advance, made the whole experience easy and positive. Would totally stay here again- the price was right for us.

We’ve been enjoying our stay here and find the setting quite pleasant. However, our experience was unfortunately disrupted when a neighbor knocked on our door to complain that we were being too loud after 10 PM. The only noise was one excited sentence my son spoke before going to bed, as he was thrilled to be here. We were otherwise careful to speak in lower-than-normal voices, and he was asleep by 10:30 PM. Additionally, we used headphones all evening while using the computer to minimize any disturbance. Unfortunately, my son was so frightened by the confrontation that he couldn’t sleep afterward. He’s now too scared to speak, worried that a stranger might knock on the door again. It would have been much better if any complaints could have been communicated by the staff, rather than having a stranger knock on our door directly. This experience was not child-friendly, and I’m deeply disappointed as it completely ruined our night.

I’ve been a fan of the basecamp properties for a while now and in my opinion this one I wasn’t the biggest fan of. It’s an amazing hotel don’t get me wrong but compared to the others it’s just on the lower level. Due to its wood construction the walls are quite thin so it’s easy to hear the rooms next to you clearly. The floors and walls also speak like crazy when someone is moving both in and around the outside of the suite. Now the hotels proximity to kicking horse mountain resort is fantastic and the town is a quick 7-10 min walk away so it makes for a great location within the town of Golden. Also it should be noted that the property doesn’t have any camera surveillance for the parking lots as I found out when I became a victim of a hit & run. Just be careful where you park and ensure you lock your doors if you choose to stay here. And before I forget the staff were absolutely fantastic and did everything they could for me! Definitely 10/10 service!

2nd visit to Basecamp Lodge Golden. Still love the simple beauty of this unique find. Sitting in an overstuffed chair with a blanket and a cup of tea in front of the wood burning central fire place, lit Christmas tree and large windows into the winter night sky is a great way to end the day.

Great lodge for a couple of nights. Clean. Friendly staff. Recomended.

Picturesque stay, very comfortable beds and quality of stay was exceptional, a little bit from town but an easy drive or 15 min walk

Quiet, clean , nice, comfortable.

We loved this property. Our room was amazing, clean, spacious and well thought out. We thought the communal socialising area was fabulous and enjoyed our evening playing board games. Excellent onsite parking, lots of local area information.
