The rooms smelled because of the carpets I presume. Really unclean. The bathrooms were really unclean and the beds were far too small for even the bed frame making for a really uncomfortable sleep. Not recommending this place to anyone!

Amazing place to stay and very communal. Met lots of lovely people and the staff were fantastic. Very social place to stay and did not want to leave! I'll defiantly be back again!

It's a great place - not your typical hostel, more of a community, so if you're looking for that it's perfect. It doesn't have the greatest facilities (one shower, no sinks in toilets - have to use kitchen) but what it lacks, it makes up for in charm.

Wonderful community environment. We shared music around the fire, shared dinner and conversations together. We could help and enjoy the organic vegetables in the garden. Wonderful, wonderful people who have created a great communal space. What I was looking for when travelling; a community of travellers, not a backpacking hotel. I wish they were all like this!!
