The taxi driver pulled up and we thought we had the wrong place and even the taxi driver commented " are you sure this is the right place ", there was garbage in front of the garage the grass was not cut and the garden was untidy, the kitchen was filthy, fly's every where and crawling over every thing that... more

This place is awful ! It is smelly, very dirty, the bathroom was not clean and the dirt from the previous visitors was still there. The bed was not comfortable and the sheet were not changed. Flys were all over the place, garbage and a bottle to kill insects was right on the shelf, where we can easily see it... more

This place is awful, unless you like being 30 feet from a busy highway. Sleep is out of the question in this clapboard barn where the rooms are barren, the beds old and falling apart, and "breakfast" is a frozen old muffin and a juice box. Many rooms have no view. No service at all, in fact. Do not stay... more

Helga's Place has so much promise. Four adults stayed for a weekend in September. Peter was fantastic - friendly, warm, welcoming - everything a host should be. And a fantastic cook! Our breakfasts we nothing short of fabulous - fresh fruit, unbelievably fluffy pancakes, freshly baked muffins, savory omelets - no complaints there! The breakfasts alone were worth the very... more

After reading other reviews in Trip Advisor we arrived with a little trepidation - but were pleasantly surprised! Yes, they had somehow forgotten we had a confirmed reservation (I would suggest contacting them by phone a few days before arrival). But they were quick to make arrangements for our room. The house is quirky but nice - though housekeeping is... more

When the taxi pulled up to the house, I just about cried... all this way for this? When I got inside and was shown to my room, I thought, you're kidding right? The house was dirty, smelly, the bathroom disgusting, the shower was basically a whole in the wall with a water spout. I was shocked. The only thing that... more

We had a lovely week in Toronto, but I have to admit when we first arrived at Helga's Place my husband and I seriously considered finding a new hotel. Our tiredness was the only thing that kept us there that first night! When we arrived our bed was unmade and the room had obviously not been cleaned. The host did... more

great hosts!

My boyfriend and I stayed their for our anniversary--the house was beautiful, nice, clean Scandinavian design... we had the loft room with the whirlpool and skylights; it was gorgeous and the bed was very soft and comfortable. We didn't meet Helga, as she was out of town, but Peter was the perfect host--really sweet and going out of his way... more

The price was cheap and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was gross though, obviously built by a do-it-yourselfer, wasn't even painted, bumpy walls with holes, tape all over, and the caulking in the shower disgusting. No thought had been given at all to even basic amenities--there was several small pieces of very used soap, an empty shampoo bottle, the... more

After several friendly and amusing emails we expected a fantastic experience and we were not disappointed. Helga's wicked sense of humour, her generosity and her lovely spatious home were at our disposal. She took a personal interest in all her guests and made us feel more like visiting friends than paying guests. I loved her cat Opey too. Thanks for... more
