Beautifully and conveniently located youth hostel with friendly, flexible and helpful staff and delicious food. Canoes can be rented inexpensively and time is always taken to answer questions. We had quiet nights here and a great stay. Only recommended!

Unfortunately, the staff is so unfriendly (except those in the kitchen), a good colleague was thrown out at midnight because of a little thing and wasn't even allowed to justify himself or tell his point of view. Luckily it's on a very beautiful lake, otherwise it's really hell.

Hello, I was in the hostel for a school trip for a week.The location of the hostel was almost perfect, right on the lake, large and well-kept meadows, volleyball fields, table tennis tables, but unfortunately very far away from the S-Bahn station. This is difficult to reach on foot, with a gravel path and a lot of incline. Now about the rooms, they didn't even have showers or toilets. There are also no mosquito nets and the window could not be tilted. There were only 2 chairs and a table for 6 people, and I was harassed by teenagers at 1 a.m. The young people threw vegetarian sausages and wet toilet paper rolls into our open window. The service took care of the problem, but the young people got away without being fined! Overall it's ok, the guests are just a bit questionable. Which is why I'm already preparing for my next visit with stink bombs!

The hostel father, Mr. Burggraf, has been running the youth hostel in an exemplary manner for years! The whole atmosphere there is very positive and welcoming. We enjoyed being there and certainly won't be there for the last time. Mr. Burggraf and his team try to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
