Owner's Wishes:
My name is Maggie, the owner of Kelowna Okanagan Lake Hostel in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Before I opened this hostel I traveled to many places around the world and stayed in different types of accommodation. I know how hard it is to travel when you are on a budget. Therefore at my hostel I am proud to say that I offer a clean, friendly, welcoming, atmosphere (as Bed & Breakfast / hostel) with facilities to suit the traveller on a budget.

For many years I have dreamed of finding a way to help people. Opening this hostel has given me the chance to do this. My greatest wish is to be able to offer my guests 5 star comfort at hostel rates.

Since starting the hostel I have realised how much hard work and dedication it takes and how difficult it is to meet the over heads and expenses. This first year has been very difficult for me, but the guests I have met have given me a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction in knowing that they have appreciated my efforts to make their stay comfortable and enjoyable.

The kind and complementary comments that my guests have written on Google maps reviews are very much appreciated and they give me encouragement towards my goal.

Once the business gets out of the red, my goal is to donate 50% of the profit to charity and to use 50% of the profit to maintain a 5 star hostel.

Thanks again to all my past guests and welcome to all my future guests with whose support a 5 star hostel that generates charitable donations will become reality, which we can all work toward together.

經營者的願景:

大家好,我是Maggie,Kelowna Okanagan Lake Hostel的經營者。在我經營這家家庭旅館之前,我曾經遊歷過世界很多地方,並待過不同類型的旅店。我了解以有限的資金去旅遊的困難。因此,我可以非常自豪地說我的旅館為缺乏資金的旅行者提供了​​​​一個乾淨、舒適、友好、歡迎、充滿溫暖氣氛和設施齊全的環境。

一直以來,我都夢想找到一種幫助別人的途徑。經營這家旅館就給我自己提供了這個機會。我的最大願望就是能夠為我的客人以旅館價格帶來五星級賓館的享受。

自旅館開業以來,我才意識到要經營它是需要多少努力的工作和貢獻,要達到收支平衡原來是一件多麼困難的事情。這一年對於我來說是最辛苦的一年。儘管如此,我所遇到的客人用他們的開心和滿足告訴我,我的努力讓他們覺得住在這裡非常溫馨和享受。

我很欣慰得到這種來自客人在Google Map發表的好評價,這種肯定也給我最大的鼓勵,讓我一直向目標進發。

當我的收支平衡之後,我的目標是捐獻50%的收益給慈善機構,50%收益投入於保持一個五星級旅館的水準。

再次感謝過去曾經住過旅館的客人,也歡迎將來入住並支持五星級旅館的客人。讓我們一齊努力使捐獻變為現實!
