The number of dissatisfied people is getting longer and longer, unfortunately. So here’s a big compliment to the youth hostel. There is nothing, absolutely nothing to complain about. Friendly reception - everything went smoothly, quickly and unbureaucratically. The rooms and the house as a whole are clean!! The highest praise goes to the kitchen... dinner was delicious. For breakfast there are even fresh rolls (by that I mean rolls from the bakery!!) and the selection is very, very extensive! Thank you for everything.

I've already read through some reviews and I found a lot of things to be true, but there were also people who complained but didn't take the circumstances into account. For example, there were complaints about the facility, but I found it to be actually quite good, especially considering the price and the fact that it is a youth hostel and not a hotel. I wouldn't say that I know anything about youth hostels, but I've been to a few others and when it comes to food, Schluchsee Youth Hostel is definitely ahead. The food is always fresh and prepared by chefs, so you can rely on the quality and good taste. At the latest when you contact the chefs or the hostel management, you will receive the right food for every possible complaint such as gluten intolerance or a vegan lifestyle. Just ask! All in all, the Schluchsee youth hostel is a very good travel destination, especially for the price, especially when you take into account the Schluchsee and all the beautiful hiking trails in the area.

We stayed here for 3 days with the class for the final trip. The food wasn't good but not very bad either and the staff was friendly, the rooms were cramped despite the fact that there were only 4 of us in one room. We had to make and remove the beds ourselves, and the beds were harder than bedrock from Minecraft, very uncomfortable. The location by the lake is very nice and cozy. NOT recommended.

We (parents and adult daughter) stayed at the Wolfsgrund youth hostel for one night as a stop along the Schluchtensteig and were completely satisfied. The employees were incredibly nice and extremely helpful, the facility is located directly on the lake with a great view and is within walking distance of the town center, everything was very well maintained and well organized. Again at any time, even longer.

Somewhat outdated and very well maintained rooms. Excellent service. Very child friendly. Good quality dinner, a big thank you to the kitchen for what they can conjure up.

Overall very nice stay.The building is visibly old but the room was clean - price/performance was right for us.We were actually pleasantly surprised by the food. I know different things from other youth hostels. Dinner was varied (pasta, vegetables, potato pancakes,...) and quite tasty. The portions aren't huge at first, but you can get seconds several times.For breakfast there are two types of rolls and a small selection of sausage/cheese/vegan. Price/performance is right here too.The location with a view of the Schluchsee is of course great!
