    The bed in the 2 beds room we got was a bit strange and felt not that secure somehow. Otherwise for the price and location is perfect

    Great location, friendly crew and overall a very well organized hostel. Really enjoyed the cooking area.

    Walls are very thin and thus we were woken up during the night by some noice from the hallway. And also breakfast could have been included in the room charge - considering the limited offer the breakfast was quite expensive.

    Nice place, very kind owner, good location

    The location was amazing, the value was great . Breakfast was delicious. The staff /owner were super friendly. We received great advice for hiking and dinner. My husband left early for a bike ride and the staff left breakfast for him, which was very kind and helpful.

    The owners were very accommodating and they have put a lot of effort into creating a great hostel with a great vibe. The views we woke up to were mind-blowing. The location is so picturesque. We were a large group who booked last minute and we were really well received when we turned up late at night. The rooms were well fitted out. We were all really pleased with the rooms and facilities. Breakfast was great for the price with plenty of options. It will be our go to place to stop at in future for sure.

    Could use a little more furniture in the rooms (you have your bed and a suspended closet, no chairs or couches)

    Staff very nice, they have a very cute dog, the living room is nice to hang out, and it has a great view. They are improving it. Also the baths were very clean

    The hostel is situated at an amazing location with a stream flowing just in front and beautiful mountain views on all the sides. Perfect place to stay if you are going for the Olpererheutte Trek which is a 20min drive from the hostel. I’d suggest coming in early, spending some time at the hostel and the beautiful town of Ginzling. Brent was a great host who happens to be a snowboarding teacher as well. We’ll be coming back again in the winters for some snowboarding!

    Owner of this hostel is young, freeminded guy from Belgium. Our stay was short only one night, but if we had a more time we definitly stay loger. Hostel was clean and nicely reconstruct (one year ago). We traveled with dog so that backyard garden was really handy. Commone kitchen is realy good equipped.

    Maybe options to buy some essentials since the town has no supermarket. Not really a bad thing, but maybe something that could be an idea for improvement.

    Very nice hostel! Good location, good breakfast, everything works well, very friendly staff, definitely recommend!

    Getting to the hostel is a bit tricky due to limited public transport options, but taxis are available and reliable.
