Overall Ratings & Reviews Bethlehem Centre

To far

Surrounded by forest , lake and a wooded area; super quiet and enjoyable experience- meditative mood

Beautiful property... cleanliness... Reasonable price.

Given key to our “cabin” and upon entering found beds still left from previous person, dirty towels on floor and room not cleaned. Returned key to receptionist and she gave me a second key to another room - exactly same issue in this room. Return a 3rd time to reception, get another room key ….. yes same thing! Housekeeping is called to clean one room while I wait but no cleaning was done - just new sheets and towels while cleaning products remain outside the room on the cart. I request a full refund and eventually am offered a full refund - but so far have not received anything. Needless to say we didn’t stay at this place and will not be recommending to others.

I didn't fully understand before getting there how much it's like a rustic summer camp more than a hotel. Then the labyrinth and chapel make sense. I would like to have a clock radio in the room for a wake-up alarm. Also soap and shampoo. The trail beside the lake is wonderful.

Serene and quiet, very comfortable rooms/bedding. Easy check in and out, great, wholesome food.

Good place

quiet nice

This place is religious retreat and not a hotel/motel. It should never be listed on a hotel booking site because it is not a hotel. I was shocked when I arrived to find the room I paid $100 per night for was actually a room in a shared 70's style house with a shared bathroom!! A shared bathroom in a pandemic ! Really! How many health orders does that violate? In addition the shared bathroom on my floor was unusable for 2 days because the toilet was plugged ? With what? By who? I had to use the shared bathroom in the basement of the house. I have a very bad back, going up and downstairs is extremely painful. I tried contacting someone - anyone but got no response. I guess they were too busy walking the labarinth instead of trying care of guests. I tried booking out and going somewhere else but it was Labour Day weekend and nothing was available. This place may function as a religious retreat but it in no way functions as a hotel/motel. It was absolutely shocking!

Excellent value for a hostel-like place with shared bathrooms and common area. Nice & quiet location.

Pros: - Beautiful lakefront property - Kind, friendly staff. - Inexpensive compared to other accommodations. - Clean rooms and bathrooms. Cons: - Despite claiming that they require proof of vaccination, we were not asked once about our vaccination status. It was not clear whether any other guests had been required to show their proof of vaccination either. - Several other "Expedia guests" were loud and extremely inconsiderate about noise in the evening. The rooms are poorly insulated for noise. - Parking was a constant problem. The site was used as a gathering place for non-guests, and we had to park elsewhere twice because non-guests had taken all of the parking places on the property.

Peaceful in beautiful forested setting

Nice, friendly, close to lake, good energy

Quiet, tranquil setting

Beautiful scenery and neighborhood. Building a bit old

Great place to rest ad relax. The staff are friendly and respectful. Thanks

This is a beautiful, peaceful setting on a lake with trails. Accommodations' are basic and they are what I expected for the price. I will definitely return.

I have no idea why this site defaults to Spanish, lol. Anyway, the place was very nice. Quiet, clean, very peaceful. They hold meetings there some nights, so parking was a bit of a nightmare.

Lovely place located right by the lake and with amazing surroundings to rest. 5 minute Walk to a public beach and 10min drive to downtown Nanaimo. Staff is great! Washrooms are generally shared.

The staff were friendly and courteous even after the last from Naniamo was late arriving. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Thank you for trying to keep things affordable.
