Overall Ratings & Reviews Vancouver Backpacker House

Felt very safe and was close to public transit. Easy check-in process.

This place relies very much on whatsApp communication but at my arrival time I hadn't had access to my email

Excellent place to stay. Convenient spot at Burnaby. 5 min walk to sky train station.

Excellent option for late arrivals in Vancouver! I traveled from Ontario to attend a sporting event and arrived in Vancouver around 10:30 PM. I had a terrible experience in the past with another place that didn’t allow check-ins after 11 PM — I lost my money and had to find a hotel at the last minute. Thankfully, this time was completely different! The host was very understanding, and the late check-in went smoothly. This kind of flexibility is incredibly important for those coming from far away and arriving late at night. The place was very well-organized, clean, and cozy. The beds were neatly made with clean sheets and comfortable pillows. The environment was quiet and welcoming — perfect for resting after a long day of travel or work. I highly recommend this place, especially for anyone who needs flexible check-in hours. I’ll definitely stay here again next time!

A very good place to stay on a budget, the area and access to sky train gives the place an extra star. It is a walking distance to a lot of places. The check in was quick and easy via WhatsApp, even the directions to the place were via WhatsApp. I will definitely go back and stay there on my next visit.

I don't know the meaning of paying the additional fee, and the request for personal information, and the condition of the accommodation is not good, so I felt bad.

It was perfect.

It was a really peaceful place. Checkin was super convenient even at 2 am in the night. And communication and coordination with property managers was seamless.

The place looks creepy and no infrastructure. If your looking comfortable or cozy place, please prefer other options.

Easy self check in and in a location close to shopping and transportation which is great. The room itself was not great with blankets cover this window and ants crawling… if you are solo and don’t need anything more its fine.

For anyone finding a quick place to stay, i recommend this! Owners are very helpful and informative! Came here for just a concert for judt 2 nights and its been amazing! Everything is walkable from the cafe and the mall! Their area is very safe! Would comr back again!

Average experience..

This was my first time staying in a shared property kind of location. The first night was a tad noisy with people returning late and but I was able to reach out to the property managers who were able to control the people who didn’t realize it was 2 am in the morning. It’s an ideal place for younger crowd who want to have a place and travel and sight see rest of the day. What is amazing the people who run this place will respond to any queries any time day or night.

Excellent choice for a roof over your head for a night. Hosts were very responsive and straightforward / clear about instructions for check-in and 'house rules'

Very responsive coordinate, 24/7 addressing all the issue as if they are in person. Got comfortable sleep.

I like everything

The linens are nice and clean and the beds are very comfortable. This is a home that has been converted to a hostel. It's not fancy, but it's perfect for a backpacker's budget and is kept clean and tidy.

Budget friendly and convenient. Quite close to Metrotown translink which connect you to Vancouver downtown. Clear instructions, which is really good.

The room was kind of messy and not completely clean. Cobwebs in the closet for example. Some of the bathrooms were better kept than others. Overall an okay place to stay short-term or if you do mind a messy area. Service was good and easy to communicate with.

Easy to find, convenient location, great service.
