Reviews of Hostel Highlander

I liked the separate kitchen area, although it's very basic. And the friendly host.

A lot of small things just makes it less pleasant as it should be. The bathroom has no shower curtain, making a wet mess. The shower head doesn't have a proper mounting point and is leaking. I slept on the most wobbly bunk bed I ever experienced, The mattresses aren't that comfortable. They advertise with extra long >2m beds, but they are just 2m. Yes it's a cheap place, but I have experienced a whole lot better for the same money.

The property was in a great location, with very helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay.

Good place to meet backpackers, socialize and meet new people.

Not very clean (full bins not cleaned dor 2 days), dishes in kitchen.

Very clean, great host, perfect location

Nothing, everything exceeded expectations

This hostel was perfect as a base for hiking and activities. The owners were so helpful, and went above and beyond. They allowed me to hold my bags there whilst I did some overnight hikes and shower on my return.

Great location and very clean. The family that runs it are friendly and super helpful with information about activities in the area. The kitchen area is a separate little building and is very social.

There are two rooms that are up two flights of stairs, the second flight has a low ceiling and is difficult to walk up and down. Rooms on the ground level or first floor won’t have an issue.

I liked the interior, it was very warm and felt like a log cabin. I stayed in a room by myself as there were no other guests at the time. Bathroom was clean and shower worked great. The kitchen is a great space in a separate room. Cooking facilities are good. Very minimalist place and close to the supermarket and bus stop.

No lockers, however as I was the only person I was able to lock the room with my valuables in it.

Super close to bus stop Check-in until late hours Booking rafting tour at reception possible Helpful owner recommending hiking tours Kitchen and living room

The walls were thin, so I could hear the neighbor room (I had earplugs, so that helped in cancelling the noise)

The host was very flexible and gave great local recommendations.

Friendly hostel, nice place to stay.

No lock on dorm room doors

Polite staff and ok location

It was quite cold throughout the building

Highlander felt like a home away from home. The room was small but had heating which was much appreciated. The kitchen space had a great communal area to meet other hikers and plan out trips. The owner helped us with hiking advice and transport to the start of the trails. After receiving a nasty/threatening email from the other hostel in town when my plans changed, I was so happy I ended up staying here instead 😊

Nothing, it was great.

The owner was very kind and gave lots of information about possible activities (hikes) in the neighbourhood. He offers (paid) transport to starting points if necessary. The hostel itself is very cosy, clean and well equipped, only a 5 minute walk from the bus station and 20 minutes from the lake by foot. His mother is the sweetest, always greeting you and trying her best to communicate. I definitely recommend this hostel!

Very cosy place, clean and very near the bus station. the staff is super helpful and will give you advice for everything you need to enjoy your stay. I definitely recommand this place.

Nothing

Very helpful staff, showed all the best hiking routes and helped get to them! Good kitchen available as well.

Very kind and friendly staff!!! Made nice friends and did hiking together, one of the unforgettable memories :)

Atmosphere in the guest house was great, but mainly due to the guests. Location is also great, close to restaurants, hikes, and busstation. Nice hangout area.

Facilities were below standard, bad cleaning, doors that didn't lock properly, nothing closed with keys. Beds were old and kinda harsh with the springs, toilet paper was missing often.
