BUG review
This is a new purpose-built hostel with a pleasant lakeside location. It features a great common room with huge windows, a big log fire and nice TV. Dorm rooms are on the small side, but they have new mattresses and are exceptionally clean; the fully equipped kitchen is modern with lots of stainless steel and brand new appliances and the bathrooms are spotless. There is a nice outdoor barbecue area with a view, and they have internet access, laundry and travel desk. This place has a good backpacker atmosphere.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
