Lindsay
Great location right near cafes and dt Golden. Staff were very friendly.
Harry
Easy parking, staff was awesome! Walked to brewery and dinner
Melanie
Property itself and the staff were lovely. Just the area around is not very scenic as it’s in an industrial part of Golden.
Diana
Overall pretty good. We did have old leftover pizza from someone else in our fridge. The room was really hot when we walked in and the side of the bed had a bracket sticking out which you could easily hurt your ankle on (multiple times).
Daniel
A quick overnight stay for my family and accommodation for 5 adults in one suite for traveling as a group.
JIAN HONG
It’s quiet and clean, the room space is limited. The staff is friendly.

Laura
Easy check in/out, clean, friendly staff, nice communal kitchen area with microwave.
James
Very disappointed. Window taped with duct tape!
Never stayed in a hotel room with an air con unit fed out the window and held up with polystyrene and duct tape stuck to the window. Gross!
View was of an old trailer park and a car junk yard.

Golden stay
Nice exterior and great location. Liked the coffee/ tea in the lobby and fridge in the room. Overall it was nice for a couple of nights but we did not feel like we got the value of the price paid, and there was an odd smell at the entrance. Rarely saw staff and walls are thin.
Josette
Amazing stay.
Lin
Beautiful view of the Kicking Horse River right out front! It’s only a 15-20 minute walk to downtown (or 3-5 minute drive); close enough to make it convenient but not so close that you hear downtown noise. The room itself was so great for our family of 4! Our kids loved the bunk beds, and we really appreciated multiple extra fans in the upstairs loft to keep the kids cool during the end of August heat wave. Highly recommend!
Aimee
Views were amazing from the lodge. Staff were freindly and rooms were clean. There was a nice sitting area by the fireplace in the lobby. They also had a complimentary coffee/tea station and instant oatmeal, which was nice. Only 4/5 just due to the building being a bit older and not well insulated between rooms so could definitely hear neighbors and rooms upstairs if you were on the first floor.

Dominik
It`s a nice little hotel with super friendly staff. Especially the receptionist was amazing. He gave us pretty helpful tips and informations about what to do in the area and he also took the time to show us everything on different maps. If we will come back at any time in the future we would def. stay here again.
Christine
Enjoyed my stay here very much. The staff was very friendly. The room was exactly what I needed for exploring Yoho and Glacier National Parks. The complimentary oatmeal and tea was perfect before heading out in the mornings. The best part was this area did not have the crowds of the more popular areas, but there was still plenty to do.

It’s a good stay but, like other reviewers note, the rooms aren’t very insulated from each other for sound. As a result it’s luck of the drawer on whether you have a peaceful stay or not. We could hear noise from other rooms clearly early in the evening but thankfully everyone respected the designated quiet hours. It wouldn’t put me off staying again but best to manage your expectations in this regard.

Comfortable bed in small room. Loud portable AC. Clean & Basic. Nice staff. Good open and welcoming lobby with fireplace.

Beautiful Lobby- Lodge like :) Nice tea & coffee area. Easy parking , smaller hotel . Nice views.
Only improvement would be that the walls are thin - heard our loud talking neighbors.

We were not prepared for the noisy AC units in the rooms. Each room as on as an add on. The original building is beautiful but was not designed from a heating/AC perspective properly.
Philip
The lobby is very nice. The room was cramped, with no seating other than a bench. Sorry we booked this
Monique
It’s quiet and right along the river

Don't let the pictures fool you. Most of the things are run down.

I had to check out 2 days early and they wouldn't refund for those two days. First and last time I stay here.
Katrina
Quiet, clean, quant and cozy place with great mountain views.
Farshad
I booked this lodge through Expedia after selecting the option to view pet-friendly properties. I’m not sure how this lodge appeared in the recommendations since it is not pet-friendly. In the check-in form provided by the lodge, I clearly mentioned we would be traveling with our puppy. However, upon arrival between 5–6 pm, there was no staff present, and we accessed the room using the key code sent by text.
The next morning, I was told by the front desk that pets are not allowed and I would be charged for the damage deposit. I explained this was an honest mistake due to how the listing appeared on Expedia and that I had disclosed our pet in the check-in form. Unfortunately, the staff stated they don’t necessarily review the forms, which could have prevented this issue.
I have been a dog owner for many years and have stayed at numerous hotels and lodges with my pets. I am familiar with how pet policies work and have never encountered a situation like this. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, but I believe this misunderstanding was not due to any fault or oversight on my part, and I don’t feel it’s fair to be penalized for it. I will also raise this with Expedia to help avoid similar situations for others in the future.
Sarah
The single beds were very uncomfortable. I did not sleep very well made my travel very tiresome..
Rustee
This place is a dump. The rooms are tiny, the views are terrible (unless you only look out of the top 20% of the window), the hallways stink, the walls are thin, the ameneties are virtually non-existent. Having a log-cabin asthetic merely papers over the cracks of what should be a $100 motel, not a $300+ lodge.
I will never stay at any Basecamp property again

Absolutely terrible experience. The location of the lodge is beautiful but the lodge itself is not. The walls are literally paper, thin, and you can hear everything from the other rooms.
The hotel fails to mention this before you book. They even have a sign up upon check-in about noise complaints. Fellow guests are just talking normally and you hear full conversations. You can also hear if they even move a step in their room.
We had the worst sleep of our entire vacation at this hotel. The hotel did absolutely nothing to compensate for the situation. Despite being loyal customers you get treated like trash.
The staff full on acknowledged that many guests complain on a daily basis but they refuse to put out a warning on booking pages.
Staff are lacking emotional intelligence and are not at all trained in hospitality excellence.
Other Basecamp properties are much better. We had a beautiful time at Basecamp revelstoke and Banff.
This property has so much potential that is being wasted. The backyard can be freshened up for an even better view.
Given the style of the lodge, it would be nice if they could add a small coin laundry facility as well.

Having the door code to access our room that we received in advance from doing the pre-arrival check-in was helpful for our late arrival.
dale
Beautiful views from the common area. Room was tiny. Not even a chair to sit on or room for one. Walls are paper thin. Could here someone in the next room talking on the phone. May be better off spending a few dollars more and staying at another hotel chain.
Catherine
Property could use some clean up..landscaping. view from.our room was an unkept trailer park. Property could use some maintenance. Bare minimum stay. Bed was comfortable. Not much to offer in the surrounding area.
Kirsten
Base camp was located right by the river and it was beautiful, the views were amazing. Walking path, coffee bar, easy check in.
Will stay again, family room is huge.

One night in Golden
Nice place! Close to a craft brewery with good beer and patio. It would have been good if there was someone enforcing the quiet hours rule, as the people above us were being quite loud until 3:00 am.
Regan
This may have been the worst and tiniest room I have ever had. I nearly broke my wrist when I took a face plant falling from the tall, narrow, poorly designed, stairway in the room. The bed was in the tiny loft with the whole left side against the wall with no room for it to fit differently. Further, I could hear every word of the neighboring room's conversations, etc coming from the vent near the ceiling. Presumably the 'intercom' works both ways. A horrible night.
Alexander
Nice lodge, but a few misses.
We stayed at this hotel for one night as we were travelling through BC. It's a lovely lodge. It's clean and in good condition. The beds are comfortable. The rooms do not have individual temperature controls but we were comfortable and a space heater was available if you wanted it.
We had a loft and the floors in the upper section are ridiculously squeaky. It looks like they laid pine siding down as flooring. The sound proofing is not all that great so you can hear the people next door walking in their loft too. The only other disappointment was that none of the outdoor spaces were open for public use.

Great property. Checked in after midnight and received a courtesy call before the front desk clerk left for the evening to ensure I received confirmation with my room number and code to get in. I was super impressed with this.

We had a very comfortable stay in a picturesque setting of this lovely and unique hotel. I liked the idea of pin entry and the breakfast and hot drinks bar 24/7. I would definitely stay here again!

Basic hotel, nothing more. Room was quite small but adequate for a night. Bed ok but it was too warm in the room at night for my liking and I couldn't see anywhere to regulate the heat. The window opens but Golden has trains running through 24/7. There are earplugs provided, not sure if it's for the trains or because you hear the TV from the the other rooms? Online check in takes a while and I still had to call to get the code and details for my room. Also had to email to get the receipt. The person at the front desk did her best to avoid eye contact or any interaction.
Ramanpreet
Good experience
Morgan
Upper floor units are supplied with air through a large air supply duct with absolutely no acoustical separation between rooms. So anything, and I mean anything your neighbor does at any time during the day or night you will hear as if they are in the same room as you,
The air supplied by this system is not controlled through the room and is set at a low temperature. To compensate the hotel supplies a small residential space heater but due to the large volume of the room it takes hours to get to a comfortable temperature.

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.
Randall
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
James
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.
Peter
Super great place!
Kenneth
The manager, Danielle was very pleasant and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again when skiing Kicking Horse.
Marni
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.
Nataliia
Nice and clean. Staff is friendly.
Kaitlin
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.
Diana
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!
Paul
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.
