    The ventilation could be a bit better, it was 28C inside even when it was 20C outside.

    All facilities are great. I think it's one of the best kitchen I've ever seen in hostels. Staff is friendly and helpful.

    It looks more like a hotel than hostel.

    It's in a quiet location, nearby many trails, very easy to access in bus.

    We stayed in the female dorms and it was 8 people to 1 shower and toilet so it got a little busy sometimes.

    Friendly staff, clean rooms and lots of space in the common areas to chill around. Loved the location since it's not too far from the main village and we still get some quiet. Got some bonus partial views of the mountains from our room as well. Great place for a one night stay!

    Wifi was spotty again, which was difficult for working remotely.

    Room was quiet and private, shared kitchen facilities were excellent/staff was helpful and congenial/storage was safe/overall cleanliness and COVID precautions were great as usual. Quiet hours were observed this time! We had a great stay.

    The bed was too 'flabby' and increased my back pain. Also it is too 'low' to the ground. Note: I am a 64 year old person with arthritis so having a supportive bed that would be less low to the ground would be fantastic. Perhaps create 10% of your beds higher and with more supportive less bumpy and soft mattress for persons who are older and disabled. The bathroom didn't have a fan or a lid on the toilet. When you share a room and have to go '#2 it would be way better to have a fan and a toilet lid to reduce unpleasant odors! Suggest to put 'quiet hours after 10pm. There were people moving around in the halls and talking after 10pm and that was disruptive to sleep. Suggest people talk softly after 10pm in rooms and in hallways and go to social room near kitchen to have more time to be active and converse. We spoke to a German young man in the elevator who said he felt very sick. He said he'd been too ill to engage in activities for several weeks. He was very close to us in the elevator. I would suggest having COVID test kits in the lobby and when a person checks in tell them if they feel sick to please notify the staff right and give them a COVID test to use and if positive to quarantine and help them get access to a nurse, food delivery and what else they may need. Suggest to give everyone in writing when they register and before they use the kitchen a little lesson in how to clean and sanitize the shared counters, handles etc. in the kitchen once finished cooking. Mention about cleaning out the sink's little basket after you clean your pots and pans especially. A lot of people are leaving a lot of food debris in these baskets rather than emptying it into the compost so it is clean for the next person. It was unclear which of the spray bottles was for cleaning and what the contents were.

    The two women who met us during reception were very nice, friendly, happy and positive. I speak a little French just from school and tried speaking to her. She helped me with some pronunciation and comprehension and was very sweet and kind to me and my partner. Check in was super easy and quick and it was easy to find our rooms. The kitchen was very well outfitted and spacious. So happy with the excellent 'bin' system where you put your name and can store both cold stuff and room temp stuff. We couldn't find a freezer to put our freezer packs for our cooler. Not sure if you have one? Liked having the electric kettle to quickly boil water. Suggest adding a reminder attached to the chord to PLEASE TURN OFF AFTER YOU USE IT! Because it is SUCH hot water and the kettle itself burned my hand a bit and this unit could potentially be a fire hazard due to the high heat of the pot itself that is kept at a high temp. We LOVED our room location's incredible views of the mountains. When I first arrived there was a 'low lying' rainbow spread over trees to the east that I took a picture of. The big, fat black bear that was only just across the parking lot from my car that was enjoying chowing down on a bunch of grass the first evening when we returned to our room. That was extra special! Like that you have a pool table even though we didn't have time to use it. A swimming pool of course and a hot tub and sauna would be a totally awesome addition. You could charge an extra amount of $20 or $25 for using it to pay for the maintenance and people who can't afford this could do an hour of work trade to use it so no one would be excluded. Would suggest adding a section for FREE FOOD. We had extra food as we were leaving that wouldn't be able to be taken across the border.
