Positive: I recently spent a week at this hostel and was blown away by the experience. I had an incredible week-long stay at this hostel. The property's design and maintenance are truly impressive, and uniquely located in the middle of a forest is a huge part of its charm offering a peaceful and escape from the city. It's clear a lot of care has gone into making it a beautiful space. The staff were absolutely wonderful—super friendly and the main reason I would come back. The staff truly made the stay memorable. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They are the key reason I would choose to visit again. The facilities, including the kitchen, common areas, and bathrooms, were clean and functional. While they aren't luxurious, they perfectly matched the rural experience the hostel promises. I felt completely safe and at home during my entire stay.
Negative: My only minor wish would be for an on-site cafe, but I noticed they seem to be in the process of building one, which is great news for future guests!
Summary: A perfect Rural experience
