I was there on a school trip from September 9th to 13th, an absolute disaster. Part of my class had another house in this house, there were cups with mold and pissy toilets. Nobody cleaned there. The plates were not washed thoroughly and were full of grease stains. Doors were half broken and the beds weren't put together properly. I wouldn't recommend this hostel to ANYONE.

My son was there on a school trip. Room catastrophic, small, dirty, holes in one wall. Some girls had to move to another room because the door was broken. Cleanliness is probably very important.The food wasn't that great either, the best thing was probably the cocoa in the morning.When the next school trip goes there, most children don't want to go.

A youth hostel that is a bit outdated, but with a lot of rustic charm and very friendly and helpful hospitality. We were guests with other families on a long weekend and were really hoping for snow. Because the toboggan run at Jordanshöhe is right on the doorstep. But with the comfort of the stove in the fireplace room and the simple but varied buffet in the morning and evening (packed lunch as an option), we were well looked after. For e-mobilists there is also an easy charging option for a small fee. The pictures are actually from last year, this year the weather was just bad and we recommended a trip to the great VitaMar in Bad Lauterberg, for example. We will come back!

Breakfast was actually delicious, there was no lunch and dinner was terrible with pasta that was hard and tasteless. Guaranteed stomach ache. Rooms are quite okay, not a 5 star hotel but just like a hostel. In the middle of the forest, the nearest shop is a 20 minute walk. The toilets are rarely cleaned and look disgusting. Showering well could be worse. For the price it's not worth it!

Brother, I feel sick after this meal. Room is ok. There's only one shop in the middle of the forest somewhere, but you have to walk a long time.

Very nice owner and good food. There is a buffet and some of the food is homemade. The rooms are a bit small and there are stains on the mattresses and bedding. There is a basketball court and a sloped area outside. Overall it's a nice place for school trips etc.

Staff very friendly. The chef stole our dishes because we ate too slowly. The hot tub and sauna were very nice. Likewise the other hikers. Everything safe despite Covid19. The resin is very beautiful. The summer toboggan run is nearby. We'll definitely be back.

Of course this is not a five star hotel and there is a lot that could be made better and more comfortable, but this place is definitely really good. The food is okay (nothing special, but still good), the drinks are cheap, the rooms are good.When you come to the mountains, it's not about where you live, but who you spend your time with, and the Nature Friends House is a great fit for that.

Not very modern but cozy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food tastes good. And there's also plenty there. And the great salad buffet.

A youth hostel in a top location with good food and friendly hostel parents who are happy to fulfill the personal wishes of their guests.Good accommodation in the bedrooms for the price. Anyone expecting a 5 star hotel is of course wrong here. The facilities and sanitary facilities are a bit old but clean and impeccable. Great starting point for hikes in the national park and for cycling tours. However, a mountain bike or e-bike is essential as it is mountainous terrain.

Rooms are ok. Great view and nice staff. However, the ticks were very annoying and other insects were also there. It's also a "nature friends' house".

Nice accommodation in beautiful surroundings near Sankt Andreasberg. The buildings and equipment are a few days older and could use some renovation. It can be compared to a youth hostel, except that the rooms are not full of 10 beds. Here and there some things are a bit worn out. Nevertheless everything is clean and tidy. The operators try to make your stay pleasant and not to worry you. Everything runs stress-free and relaxed. The area is perfect for hikers and those who prefer to explore sights by car will find plenty of them in the area. Anyone whose demands do not require 5-star luxury is in good hands at the Naturfreundehaus.
