Shortly before the winter closure on site. Super friendly welcome, very nice staff, whether in the kitchen or in the "fireplace room". Since it is already quite cool in the evening, the nice lady turned on the fireplace. Super cozy... The location in the forest is awesome! Super-duper! The room is great too, I don't miss anything! I'd love to come back!!!

We went on a school trip to the youth hostel and came to a very positive conclusion. Very nice and competent service, large rooms (possibly few sockets) and really delicious food. The location in the forest and on the beach invites you to go hiking and has several options for spending time nearby (e.g. a climbing park). The network coverage is sometimes a bit unstable, but that's great for switching off (even with children). There are many opportunities to play, which the children enjoyed. :)

The staff is super nice, I'm 15 and I don't even need my cell phone. It's really great. It's just a half-hour walk to the west coast and the food in the beautiful surroundings (forest) is also really tasty

Located in the middle of the forest, you can find peace and quiet to relax here.The rooms are functionally furnished and clean. We even had our own bathroom.The breakfast was OK. The rolls were delicious.The staff at reception and in the kiosk were very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the lady in the kitchen was lacking in friendliness.Cell phone/internet reception was very poor. If you have to be reachable, unfortunately not so great.All in all, it is a nice starting point to explore the Darß. By bike you can quickly reach the sea, the lagoon or the seaside resorts.

Idyllic location in the middle of nature, comfortable facilities, very clean and always very friendly and committed staff: highly recommended! The bike rental service on site is also great. It should be noted that the WiFi coverage on the premises is not optimal; However, this is not in the hands of the hostel management.

I was on a school trip to the youth hostel. The path to the youth hostel goes a bit through the forest, and there are always dead animals on the ground. We actually had a small dead snake lying on the path. At first glance, the youth hostel grounds look neat until you arrive at their houses. The rooms themselves have a nice structure but that's it, there are dead animals stuck to the wall and there are lots of stains on the wall. There are also small mold spots on the window. The floor and bed linen are dirty. On the first day there were several people who cried and wanted to go home.There is mostly no network here, in one place (in front of the reception) you have a little WiFi (24 hours in total for the stay, with a code that you have to enter again and again).The grilling is very good and tasty. The breakfast, on the other hand, is a disaster.Little choice and "veggie days" during the week. The food doesn't look beautifully served and isn't tasty at all. Little choice, so many people didn't want to eat. The employees were friendly at first, but now and then some situations are rude and unfriendly. I can't recommend the youth hostel at all, especially for this price. The nearest supermarket is 30 minutes away and the beach is also a 30-minute walk away. The bus connection stops at 6 p.m.
