FAQS
CAN I INVITE SOMEONE TO COME AND STAY IN MY HOSTEL POD?
No, absolutely not. We do not permit anything that is likely to make other guests feel uncomfortable or even unsafe. If we find someone staying in a hostel pod that shouldn’t be, we will ask them to leave immediately and charge you what you would have had to pay if you had asked for double-occupancy at the beginning.
WHAT ABOUT PETS?
We love animals, but given the nature of our accommodation and the fact that many
spaces are shared, we cannot allow them into the property. One person’s companion
and best friend can unfortunately be another’s allergy.
DO YOU HAVE STORAGE SPACE FOR MY SKI’S, SNOWBOARDS, BIKES AND ACCESSORIES?
Absolutely, there is storage for all your toys. We provide school-type lockers to store
you’re outer gear, ski boots and accessories, included in your unit.
We also have a large Ski/Board/Bike room with Ski/Board locks for rent at a nominal fee
from our reception team. If you have your own Ski/Board lock you are more than
welcome to use our out door Ski/board racks at no cost to you.
Please help us keep your pod, rooms, and suites sparkling clean, don’t take your ski
boots into the hotel.
DO YOU HAVE PARKING?
Yes, we have several underground and outside parking spaces that can be reserved.
We offer limited free-parking spots (first in, first out), while underground and the aboveground
preferred spaces come at an additional charge and are then reserved for the
duration of your stay. We recommend speaking with one of our crew members ahead of
time to secure what suits you best, as they fill fast.
HOW GOOD IS YOUR LOCATION?
Fantastic actually, we are truly a ski in/out property. We are located opposite The
Burfield Chairlift which means that you don’t have to go around loading all your gear
and fellow skiers into a vehicle to drive to the village. It’s simple, just walk across the
road and get on The Burfield chairlift and you will be at “Top of the World” before you
know it! And we are only a 25-minute walk to the village. In winter we also have the
added option of our Sun Peaks Village Shuttle, and in summer take one of our bikes out
for a spin at no additional cost to you (first come first serve).
WHEN IS THE LATEST I CAN CHECK IN?
Our reception check-in hours for winter are 3pm to 8pm daily, and summer are 3pm to
7pm daily.
Please let us know if you are arriving outside our standard check-in times at least one
day before your arrival, so that arrangements can be made for your check in.
For those that can’t make it during our reception hours, we understand, and have two
option for you to choose from. Self-late checkin or Staffed-late checkin.
Self-late checkin requires pre-arrangement with the front desk. We then coordinate your
arrival with you, our policies and procedures which must be agreed to via email ahead
of time. Once agreed we will send you all codes you would require to access the
building and your unit/s.
Staffed-late checkin also requires pre-arrangement with our front desk crew, who will be
awaiting you're arrival. We ask that you provide us with a one hour arrival window, one
of our Crew will be there to greet you and assist you with your arrival and additional
check-in needs. We are aware that things can and do happen, we kindly ask that you
keep us abreast should anything change. This service comes at an additional fee of $30
+ taxes.

HOSTEL SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A HOSTEL POD?
A hostel pod is you're personal sleeping space that consists of one TwinXL bunk, first
come first serve for top or bottom bunk. You’re hostel pod is located in a larger hostel
room that is shared between either four hostel pods or six hostel pods; a common
kitchenette/dining space with TV, and one common bathroom. The Hostel rooms consist
of either a two bedroom or three bedroom hostel option, with each bedroom featuring
two TwinXL beds, bunk bed style, a fridge, an open closet space, and two private
lockable drawers one for each pod; a door will separate each bedroom from the
common space.
You’re top or bottom hostel pod is your own private space and comes with a private
night light and a private electrical plug to charge up all your devices.
CAN I INVITE SOMEONE TO COME AND STAY IN MY HOSTEL POD?
No, absolutely not. We do not permit anything that is likely to make other guests feel
uncomfortable or even unsafe. If we find someone staying in a hostel pod that shouldn’t
be, we will ask them to leave immediately and charge you what you would have had to
pay if you had asked for double-occupancy at the beginning.
WHY ARE SLEEPING BAGS NOT ALLOWED IN THE BURFIELD?
As a part of our policy we clearly outline that sleeping bags will not be allowed to be
brought into the lodge. This is due to the risk of bed bugs that they pose.
DO YOU OFFER ALL FEMALE AND/OR ALL MALE PODS?
Yes. Our hostel pods and the larger room they find themselves in are gender specific.
You’re hostel pod will be either in a all male or all female unit.
If you are looking for mixed use or group availability, take a look at our hotel
accommodation micro units.
WHEN IS QUIET TIME?
We promote a non-party, harmonious atmosphere; therefore to make everyone’s night
as peaceful as possible, quite time is from 10pm to 8am. Doors are to be quietly closed,
voices kept down, low music and no loitering in the hallways. We would like to think that
you wouldn’t want to upset your fellow guests anyway.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER RULES I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
We take pride in making sure that everything to do with your accommodation runs
smoothly for the duration of your stay. We ask you to be courteous as our rules are
simple.
1. Respect the other pod guests
2. Have Fun!
