Guest Reviews

• Anja (9/5): Empfehle ich mit gutem Gewissen weiter 😃 - Die Jugi ist modern, sauber und in der Nähe des See's. Am Abend durfte ich einen tollen Sonnenuntergang am See geniesse.
• K. Halbeisen (8/5): -
• Kurt (9/5): -
• Thomas Sterren (9/5): -
• Konstantins (9/5): - The hotel is located right on the lakeshore in a very quiet and peaceful area. There are parks and a beach nearby. It’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend it for those looking for a relaxing stay. You can easily walk to the city center and the train station along the lake. The staff is very friendly! Also, the breakfast was good and had everything you might need.

• Bea (10/5): Es war überraschend gemütlich und eine Berreichrung so schöne Frühlingstage an diesem Ort verbringen zu können. - Sehr schöne Lage und total freundliches Personal
• Robert (9/5): -
• Christine (9/5): -
• Baciocchi (8/5): Di passaggio - Accoglienza, struttura in quanto a ostello, pulizia e colazione. Zona anche nel verde e fuori dal centro cittadino. Nulla da segnalare, solo che se si dimentica il badge all'interno della camera.... Qualche problema sorge se sei da solo in camera e la reception è chiusa.
• Grossi (9/5): -
• Matteo (9/5): Bellissimo ostello - Bellissima posizione, struttura moderna e pulita, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Troppe famiglie con bambini piccoli, speravo di trovare un ambiente più tranquillo e globetrotter friendly

• Aleksander (9/5): Toll - Ist in der Nähe des Sees. Personal war zuvorkommend.
• Cello (8/5): -
• Peter (9/5): Sehr gute Unterkunft, gerne wieder. - Moderne Jugendherberge mit schöner Einrichtung und sehr nettem Personal. Zum Zürichsee sind es ein paar Minuten zu Fuß. Frühstück sehr gut, allerdings könnte es bei Hochbetrieb etwas knapp werden und dann ist eine Ausgabetheke eventuell zu wenig. Für eine Jugendherberge etwas teuer, aber wahrscheinlich ist das in der Schweiz einfach so.
• Renate (5/5): - Frühstück war umfangreich und gut. Abendessen war etwas dürftig.
• Elmar (9/5): -
• José Eduardo (10/5): -
• Andreas (7/5): Guter Jugi- Standard, Lage ruhig, aber weit weg vom Zentrum - Gutes 4-er-Zimmer und Badzimmer, Sauberkeit, tolle Seesicht und ruhig Kühler Empfang. Recht weit weg von Rapperswil, was mit dem Velo zum Glück kein Problem war.
• Noemi (10/5): - Colazione completa, di qualità e abbondante,posizione magnifica sul lago e tranquilla
• Judith (8/5): -
• Smajlovic (8/5): -
• Ilyas (9/5): muy bien - todo bien, todo bien por la noche con la calor si dejas la puerta abierta del balcon se escucha el ruido de las bacas pero con la puerta cerrada no se oye nada
• Piotr (7/5): -
• Birgit (9/5): Perfektes preis/ Leistungsangebot - Die Lage, der Umschwung, clever eingerichtet Frühstück ab 7 Uhr wäre top gewesen , aber dies ist Kritik auf hohem Niveau
• Tomas (8/5): - Clean room. Tasty breakfast. My electronic locker in the shared room wasn't working, I couldn't lock my things.
• Fabienne (7/5): - Das Frühstück war sehr gut, einfach gehalten aber wirklich gut. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. In meinem Zimmer war es sehr laut. Da es direkt zum Treppenhaus hin war, gab es bis in die Nacht hinein sehr viel Lärm durch herumrennende Kinder/Jugendliche.
• Daniel (8/5): -
• Hans-Peter (9/5): -

• Nicole (8/5): -
• Suzanne (10/5): - Prachtige omgeving. Zeker een aanrader voor mensen die rust zoeken.
• Cynthia (8/5): Good stop for E1 hikers - Breakfast was good, staff were friendly and helpful, insect screen on one window, vicinity to a swimming place in lake A little expensive for a youth hostel, screens on both windows would’ve been better since it was so hot, cows and church were loud (granted the accommodation can’t influence this but still i didn’t sleep well)
• Octavian (8/5): Very good -
• Thomas (7/5): Good - Quiet 30 minutes walk to town centre (but scenic walk)
• Grant (10/5): Exceptional -
• Liliya (10/5): - Spacious and clean room. Beautiful location. Friendly staff

• Gresa (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing!! The lady in the reception super professionnal! Its been a long time that I did not have such a good impression. Bravo
• Rasmus (10/5): Exceptional -
• Noah (6/5): Cool but kinda creepy - Great breakfast. Clean facilities. In weird location just outside the city. Felt like I was in a scary movie.
• Long (8/5): Nice location - - Really nice location near Lake Zurich - Clean - Balcony view - No bedside power socket - Bed felt uncomfortable - Check in time is 5pm - Charged 5CHF for parking when I'm on a motorcycle! - Woke up to 6 mosquito bites! I shared a room with another guy and he was adamant in leaving the balcony door wide open because it was rather hot. - No air con
• adriana (4/5): - Un nota di merito al cuoco, un ragazzo gentile una cucina super buona...... Ma un solo asciugamano per viso e corpo compreso biidet.. E un sacco lenzuolo per dormire.. Forse avessimo avuto vista lago.... Sarebbe stato diverso? La vista parcheggio cortile..con finestra non è stata di nostro gradimento. Non ci torneremo, la prossima volta sceglieremo meglio
• Ulrich (10/5): Unbedingt empfehlenswert - Außerordentlich freundliches Management, tolle Lage, super gepflegte Unterkunft
• Marco (8/5): - Im großen und ganzen gut.
• Ahmed (8/5): Very good -
• Sheerin (10/5): lovely surroundings, have some coffee around though, anything even instant! - Quiet country location outside of town.
• Sabahudin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Petri (8/5): - Die Gegend war super. Und das Gebaude auch viel moglichkeiten
• Darko (10/5): Exceptional place and people - What to write here to explain how wonderful time we had here... I have to start first with Michelle and Chris, two best persons we ever encountered behind the reception and managing a hostel. It started all with our 2,5h delay or arrival due to the unplanned Gotthard tunnel closing. We were stuck in a traffic jam and arrived around 19:30h instead of 17h. They were so kind and organized our dinner even in that time (initially planned for 18:30h), so when we arrived after our long trip from Italy it was nice and warm and delicious. During our stay there, they have been all the time super friendly, helpful and professional. This place is lucky to have them and without them it would never be the same. Our family room was nice and cosy with the great view of the lake and green fields and mountains around. Birds were waking us in the morning and it felt so great to be so close to nature. Very clean room and the whole place was clean in general. Our kids also had a great time with free activities there (play room, table tennis, table soccer). We are already looking and making plans to come back in the near future. It is not possible to give a higher review than 10/10 so we give only 10 here. I propose booking.com to make some possibility to give option for 'the best ever' mark/sign which can be used once per year or something and only on an exceptional case because this place is definitely exceptional.
• Laura (7/5): Good -
• Lisa (8/5): Very good -
• Thomas (7/5): Good -
• Paula (9/5): Superb - All good Not possible to book 5 persons in family room through website- only through booking.com
• Gabor (8/5): We selected this loaction to cycling around lake Zürich, it is ok for that. - The hotel itself in a green quiet area, nearby to the southern part of Lake Zürich. Lake is in 5 mins walk. It has a safe bicycle storage, good breakfast big commmon areas indoor and own garden. No fridge is in the rooms, but there is a small common one in the lobby. Charging exra cost for parking in such area (garden house area, with big spaces for cars) is strange...
• Harry (2/5): Nice staff but very dirty room - Very high tarif for single room (same as a hotel), but very dirty. I doubt, that this room have been cleaned at all: apart from hairs and dirt from toothpaste, there was even litter from former guest in the wastebasket.
• André (8/5): Very good -
• Margot (10/5): - Directly at the lake Zürich
• Christophe (8/5): - Voisins de chambre sales et fumant sur le balcon (des ouvriers roumains) mauvaise odeur dans la chambre. L’établissement n’y peut rien mais moi non plus.
• Tran (10/5): great place, people, food, atmosphere - very rural feel while still just a short walk into the city. I felt very safe with my kids playing in the backyard. the food there is delicious as well. the staff were more than amazing. the manager was so generous and honest. I plan to come back every year with my family. definitely a great place for families to stay and for everyone to support!!
• Tran (10/5): Exceptional -
• Travis (4/5): Didn’t realize extent to which this was going to be a hostal experience. - Cost for three travelers in a family room was the only reason we stayed here. Very far from stores, restaurants, etc. Located on an active farm, so lots of flies and smells of manure. The restroom was completely full of live and dead small flying insects that were attracts to the light and made their way through the screen. Was so intense that our family members were compelled to use the lobby area restroom. For those looking at this space in Booking.com, please beware that this is a hostal. In no way does it fit the bill as a hotel…no towels, no soap, shampoo, have to make the bed in your own bed and then take down the linens in the morning, no showers or toilets in the family rooms, etc.
• Kathleen (9/5): Comfortable - Wonderful views of lake and mountains from our bedroom, hot shower, buffet breakfast. Option to book good value 3 course dinner. Earlier breakfast time slot would allow Jacobsweg walkers to start earlier.
• Kristina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olivier (8/5): Very good -
• Mengmeng (10/5): Exceptional - The room was big and comfortable. The hostel had very good facilities, and nice big public space with desk, TV and toys. It was really good for the kids. The area is beautiful and there's plenty of outdoor space for children to run around. Breakfast was great too.
• Shahida (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vo (8/5): Very good -
• David (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (10/5): Wonderful short-stay - Very clean hostel with exceptional views. The staff was wonderful and the facilities were great. Be sure to take advantage of the well-maintained terrace! Breakfast was also well-stocked and the breakfast attendants were helpful. I also appreciated the lockers.
• Kida (9/5): Superb -
• Kate (10/5): Arrived after a long drive. had to wait a bit to check in but then loved our room. compact but so functional and overloo - the design of the rooms, the view, the proximity to the lake to swim, the breakfast. check in at 5
• Tatiana (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great. Than you
• Andea (10/5): - wunderbar
• Jiri (8/5): Quiet place. Very nice breakfast. - Had a single room. Very nice breakfast. Quiet place. Beautiful location. Strand nearby.
• Roland (7/5): good for a short stay - nice and modern youth Hostel kind staff perfect for families couldn’t open the window cause it smelled very bad from the farm house next door
• Thomas (10/5): Preis-Leistung okey - Bisschen abgelegen. Check-in erst 17:00 Uhr und Bettwäsche selber anziehen. Frühstück nur 1h. Ansonsten tiptop, sauber, ruhig, unkompliziert und der Preis stimmt auch..
• Deborah Miriam (10/5): Jugi mit wunderschöner Aussicht - In der Jugi in Rapperswil-Jona wird man freundlich in Empfang genommen und es wird unkompliziert gleich das Du angeboten. So habe ich mich in einem familiären Umfeld und wohl gefühlt. Ich habe ein 4er Zimmer gebucht und hatte das Privileg alleine zu sein. Auch das Essen schmeckt ausgezeichnet.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Gegend ist nett. Das Blues n Jazz Festival in Rapperswil-Jona war toll
• Djamer (8/5): - Beaucoup trop CHER pour une Fillette de 6ans...!!! Djamer
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Die Jugendherberge hat eine wunderschöne Lage am See, das Frühstück ist auch sehr gut!
• ramon (10/5): Daumen hoch - Es war freundlich und für Familien toll aber auch eine Nacht geschäftlich top
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Das Essen ist ungeniessbar und für diese schlechte Qualität unverschämt teuer. E ist schlicht ein Schweinerei, dass man bei der Buchung auf der Jugendherbergehomepage unbemerkt auf ebookers fällt. Das machte den Aufenthalt viel zu teuer, da der Mitgliederrabatt nicht abgezählt wurde. Bilanz: Nie wieder essen in der Jugi Jona, nie wieder via ebookers reservieren.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good and comfortable stay - A very clean hostel and friendly staff members. I forgot my slippers and walked around the room and toilet with my bare feet and didn't feel much dirt. Close to the Zurich lake with beautiful neighbourhood. It is a bit far from Zurich centre but overall a very good stay.
