**Things to note & policies**
Free cancellation: 2 days before the arrival

Kindly note: Bookings across different room types may require room changes during your stay. To help avoid this and streamline your experience, we’ll do our best to consolidate your bookings into one room/bed whenever possible. Please contact us directly if you need help with availability for the duration of your stay.

PLEASE NOTE:

- SUPER EARLY CHECK INS: Due to being fully booked we can not always ensure that early check in is available and you will need to book for the night before if you wish to have early check in. Please notify us of your expected arrival time.

- Group Bookings: if making a booking for a group of more than three we can almost always ensure you are in the same room. However, during busy season and especially when checking in late this sometimes is not possible due to the sheer fact that the Hostel is full and there are often multiple group bookings. It is best to contact us directly if you would like to be in the same room.

Great hostel. Tons of outdoor space right on the pond. The attached noodle place is phenomenal - I had lunch there three days in a row. No one locks the door to the dorm rooms during the day, but there are big lockers so it didn’t bother me but something to keep in mind if you are adamant about locking the door.

Insane hostel, it’s like a resort, the common area is so social and the staff are so so friendly I had to extend my stay an extra night I fell in love with this place. The rooms are well laid out with a nice bathroom and the best bed I’ve slept in so far this trip.
