The property was still very much under construction when we stayed. Only a few of the domes were operational. Our dome was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped. But we had several issues with the door locks, although the staff were very helpful and attentive to get it resolved. The shared bathrooms were still under construction and not overly clean.

The dome was fantastic, it even had a television, which was great for the evening and when it rained. It is a work in progress so be patient it is all about the dome. It had huge views. Jeff was outstanding. The showers broke down but they let us use a hotel room. The hot tub should be deleted. I recommend them, once they are completed the price will certainly rise.

Gary was great. The domes are spacious and very cool to sleep in. They stay warm all night.

Bathrooms.could be cleaner and domes swept or have a broom in dome. Over all I enjoyed the dome. I just wanted the experience, only issue was cleanliness.

We loved our stay here, even though it is still somewhat under construction. The domes themselves are spacious and clean with a view over the lake (across the road). Wifi worked well, and dome had fridge, microwave and coffee maker. AC/heat unit was efficient and there was an extra heater "just in case" which we did not need. Communal bathrooms are new and clean and each stall includes a shower, toilet and sink. The skylight opening in very cool to see both the night sky and the morning sunshine. We were initially nervous when we pulled in because several domes are incomplete, but the ones that are finished are fantastic. The workers completing other domes are quiet and respectful.

Perfect if you don't mind the outside shared washrooms and showers

We stayed in a brand new dome and it was beautiful! Very bright, clean, spacious. The owner was kind and helpful. There are no bathrooms, running water, or shower in the dome. So plan accordingly. But they bathrooms were close by and good. They listed a "hot springs" and "hot tub" on their listing,, as well as laundry. But there was no hot springs nearby (we asked), the hot tub was quite dirty, so we didn't use it, and there was no laundry available. That was frustrating as we were expecting to do our laundry mid-trip and were not able to.

The dome is spacious, clean, and has adequate amenities for an overnight stay. Great location as it situated along the road and next to Tim Hortons and gas station. Staff is kind and helpful esp when the dome smelled plastic fumes maybe because of the sun’s heat, he quickly helped open the dome exhaust windows to let the air flow. The cons is that washroom is outside and shared. About two domes are functional and already open to the public, few more domes are being built. Hope they’d consider the unobstructed views from the dome otherwise it will defeat the purpose of staying in a dome not a hostel. The tub is next to the washrooms so not really inviting. You can park beside your dome but pavement still uneven, maybe they will improve it as well. Overall, it’s a value for money, a good spot to have break at Baddeck before or after a long drive between Halifax and Cabot trail. Recommended.

We have a great night and this is our first glamping experience. Washroom and shower was not totally ready for the public but I understand that this place is still under construction. Wifi not able to reach to our Dome. View of this place is amazing. Looking forward to come back with fully equipped and all the construction is done.

The property isn’t quite finished. The grounds need some work but it’s a work in progress. The bathrooms are a separate building

Baddeck Domes will be great when they are finished. They are just not ready to receive people yet ie. no countertop on our cooking island; only 2 shared bathrooms (a little bit of a walk away) for the 5 or 6 domes that were rented out; no real parking spots (you just park on the uneven ground near your pod); no wi-fi; small questionably clean soft tub; small above ground pool; NO hot springs; NOT on the water; and more… but the worse part was the incredibly rude receptionist at check in.

The dome itself was beautiful, sleeping under the stars. The tv didn’t work at all, no internet available. The bathrooms were shared, with not enough available and completely disgusting. That is why the rating is low. Needs improvement in the bathroom big time!

The bed was comfortable. The hosts were friendly. The view from the room we stayed in at Baddeck Inn was lovely.

Totally love the idea of this cute getaway but it wasn’t quite ready for us to stay and the pictures and descriptions are misleading. There is a highway between the domes and the waterfront and each dome has a designated bathroom shared by all the domes but not within the domes themselves. The bathrooms are a 3-4 minute walk up to the hill. The inside of the dome was very neat and clean but the wifi didn’t work. There is no water available in the dome so if you’re wanting to use the coffee maker, you need to bring your own water. Still enjoyed our experience but wished we would’ve known what we were getting for the price.

Really nice guy running the place. We wanted to like it but the pictures are not what it seems. It is not ready for the public, most domes and washrooms are not finished and construction is still going on. Parking is difficult because there is a long one way road and the expectation is to park on uneven grass. The view is the water but mostly a highway and gas station. Hot tub and pool are blow up.

Très décevant! Le gazon long, matériaux de construction qui traîne, pas d'eau dans le dôme, on se lève très tôt à cause du toit du dôme, trop cher pour ce qu'on a eu. Seulement 2 toilettes à l'extérieur et se salit des qu'on rentre avec nos souliers.

DO NOT BOOK HERE! My family had booked the the Baddeck Domes and were looking forward to a unique experience. We arrived at about 6pm after a long day of driving just to find out that they had overbooked their motel so they gave away our dome to someone who booked a different room. I was frustrated with this however i understand things happen so i said lets just process my refund and we will find another place to stay. The lady running the motel informed my that she could not do that without speaking with her manager. So she called her manager and they were not interested in giving me a refund and just kept asking her questions on why our room was given away. To me it was irrelevant as it was already done and they could sort that out later and i just wanted my money back. Finally her manager said they cant issue us our refund since we booked through Expedia (unsure if thats true) so i called expedia while i was still there so they could confirm that i did not have a room and they refused to answer the phone call from expedia to confirm this! Expedia tried to speak with them for over a week and they ignored them the entire time! Finally expedia did give me my money back since Baddeck Domes did not answer their calls. I am very happy i booked this through expedia to help me with this refund as i truly believe Baddeck domes was hoping to keep my payment for a night we didnt even get! We ended up at Cabot Trail Motel and they were very friendly and great food!
