Great price and location
Our stay was great at the backpackers B&B on salt spring island. The location is great, very central and close to town. The B&B is brand new, the bedding is clean and the shared spaces are big. Beautiful property, with an adult slide in the back.

Excellent little getaway
My stay at the Humming bird backpackers B&B was great! The owners were so lovely, friendly and helpful. The place was spotless, including the shared rooms, toilet and bedding. The communal area and large open plan layout, was a great way for me to get to know the other guests and make some friends as a 24 year old solo traveller. There was a small library, board games and even a quite space on the decking outside to listen to the birds sing in the morning. Breakfast hit the spot with some fruit and muffins. However the kitchen is fully set up with all the equipment/utensils you need, if you wanted to make your own food. There is a bus stop right outside the B&B which was so handy but don’t forget to bring your coins for your $2.50 fare. I would absolutely come back to stay here again and will definitely be recommending to my friends:)
