We booked in as a group and the hostel was perfect for us. My only quibbles are there is no composting and the showers are a wee bit small!

Netter Herbergsvater der alles im Grif hat und immer ein offenes Ohr. Abends auch mal mit Elks direkt vor dem Fenster. Einfach - da wilderness - aber dafür sehr sehr gut.
