Property wasnt bad at all! Definitely wasnt expecting what i walked into definitely not worth $100 for a one night stay. Room was very nice but super small which wasnt really listed on the listing, ended up using the hot tub and just going home.

Home was lovely -- clean, inviting, easy to find and access. Bed and bedding were clean and neat and comfortable. Host was friendly and helpful. Guests sharing my room were loud, rude and disgusting. Barely slept from other guests snoring loudly, blowing their nose (one was sick) and turning on the lights from 2am to 6am. I wish it had been a more enjoyable stay, but I barely slept.

I can’t say enough good things about my stay. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They were incredibly accommodating, ensuring that all my needs were met and that my stay was as smooth as possible. The facilities were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, creating a perfect balance of community and privacy. Whether it was offering great local tips, adjusting to my schedule, or simply checking in to make sure I was happy, their kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about their guests. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel at home while traveling, this is it. I’ll definitely be back and recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

This hostel exceeded expectations. I've stayed in others that were priced the same but were extremely bare bones. This one had recently renovated bathrooms and comfortable bunks. In addition, they provided linens and towels and LOTS of selections of food for breakfast! I'll definitely be back!
