"Room outdated, bathroom does not meet any standards, shower and toilet broken. All filthy! So is the restaurant, dark and smelly, dirty old carpet and more! Bad breakfast...fruit rancid, overcooked eggs. This place is due for a reno!!"

"The room was nice. Nice view of the water Garbage was left in cans by previous person. The hallway leading to room wasn’t tidy items piled up such as buckets and unused chairs Microwave didn’t work in the room Screen broken leading to deck"

"Excellent place to stay! The rooms, the owners, the views and the breakfast were perfect for our get-away and visit to Digby and surrounding areas. Our whole experience at Hillside was great! We are definitely looking forward to staying at this Gem again!"

"Good experience"

"Everything was good, but the accommodation was very old."

" 1) They asked for my review through their booking system. They didn’t like my review, so they removed my booking from the booking system in order to remove my review! So they’re purposely removing bad reviews in order to trick customers into thinking the reviews are all good. VERY deceptive business practice! 2) When I booked, I told them I could book through Booking . com cheaper than their standard rate because I get a “Genius discount” online. The lady who runs the place told me they would give me the same deal if I pay them directly. When I arrived, she refused to give the discount. Why should I pay more booking DIRECTLY than through a 3rd party website??? I was trying to do them a favour by saving them the commission they would have had to pay the website, and they thanked me by cheating me (by overcharging me). VERY deceptive business practice! 3) The basement apartment didn’t come with shampoo, soap, or TOILET PAPER! This is the ONLY accommodation in Nova Scotia that didn’t provide these things. We stayed at 5 different places as we travelled throughout the province and EVERYONE provided these basic amenities. And where can you get toilet paper in the middle of nowhere at 9pm at night? Nowhere! 4) Apartment STANK like mold. They left the windows open before arrival to try to keep it aired out. Didn’t work. I have asthma and an allergy to mold. Not telling me in advance this apartment had lots of mold was a huge health hazard. I had to take pills. 5) They said they sell ice. Ice machine was broken. Where can you buy ice in the middle of nowhere? You can’t. And the fridge didn’t even have a freezer in it. So food that should not have defrosted ended up defrosted. This is the only accommodation in Nova Scotia that didn’t have a fridge/freezer in the room. 6) No window covering on the entrance door, which leads directly to… the bathroom and bedroom. This is great if you’re a nudist, but otherwise this is not appropriate. Many people are walking right outside and can see in. 7) The blinds on the bedroom window are broken. I had to cover a big hole in the blinds with a towel so people couldn’t see in. I could go on, but why bother. We stayed there for 1 night and it was 1 night too many. The location was convenient to where the ferry lands after whale watching, but staying ANYWHERE else would have been better. We enjoyed all the hotels/motels we stayed at in Nova Scotia except for this one. Shady business practices, trying to deceive people with skewed positive reviews (which I question the authenticity of), substandard accommodations. Why would anyone want to rent this apartment? "

"Perfect for our needs. Great location."
