אהבנו ממש את האווירה במקום, הכרנו שם חברים איתם טיילנו בהמשך. חצר הגסטהאוס ירוקה ויפה. הצוות קשוב ומאיר פנים

היה לנו קשה עם גורי הכלבים במקום שעשו פיפי וקקי בתוך הבית. כמו כן, הצוות לא תמיד נמצא שם, זמין לשאלות וכדומה .. החדרים בסיסיים מאד(שהינו גם ב-dorms וגם בחדר פרטי, היינו מעט מאוכזבות מהחדר הפרטי

"Ich habe mich mit einer Bewertung selten sehr so schwer getan - viel Positives, viel Negatives"

8.0

Die Lage fand ich ganz gut. Vergleichsweise ruhig. Super Bar / Restaurant nebenan. Sehr nette Leute. Zimmer war zumindest okay. Hilfsbereites Team - wenn man denn weiß, wer da überhaupt arbeitet… Etwas mehr - oder viel mehr überhaupt Professionalität, und das Hostel wäre top!

So einiges: Ich war zwei Nächte da und wusste bis zum Schluss nicht, wer dort Arbeit, wer Dauergast ist oder wer halt nur Freund des Hauses ist. Das ist irgendwie alles unprofessional. Man könnte soviel mehr aus dem Hostel machen, wenn man nur die grundlegendsten Sachen beachten würde. Man kann z.B. noch nicht einmal Wasser kaufen. Auch andere Getränke und Snacks wären nett. Dafür darf man seine eigenen Getränke mitbringen, in den Kühlschrank stellen und konsumieren. Es gibt viel zu wenige Sitzgelegenheiten im sehr großen, schönen Garten. Für wenig Geld könnte man das enorm verbessern. Ich hatte zwei Hauptprobleme: Das extrem harte Bett und dass dauerhafte Rauchen - leider nicht nur von Tabak…

"Awesome stay, great vibes, social and comfy!"

9.0

Awesome stay ! Super comfy place, amazing people and vibes, lots of chilling areas and a garden. Hosts were awesome ! Bed is big, comfy with a mosquito net. Great location walking distance to lots of things and nice green area. Also dogs at the hostel which add to the vibe! Booked 2 nights and stayed a week! Definitely reccomend and will return for sure!

It would be awesome if drinking water was available, also a little more frequent cleaning would be great.
