I had reserved and payed for two nights. Had to shorten my stay and got immediately the second day refunded. Did not meet the host, but was in good contact via SMS. It had everything I needed, that is clean spacey room, good bed, and showers. The kitchen seemed to be of good quality, didnt use it though.

“Great”
A breakfast bag was waiting for us in the fridge. After travelling for 2 weeks in Finlande, it was the cutest attention

Breakfast promised. Turned out to be a Russian styled "morning pack" in the fridge.

“Clean, nice, practical, good communication.”
No staff visible but everything was taken care of. We knew which room to stay in, were to go and where the breakfast was. Very clear instructions. Clean and nice.

“A quiet, cosy place”
The hostel is situated in a very nice place, in a secluded and very tranquil spot, not far from a lake and amidst the forest. The room was comfortable, clean and cosy with all the essential services, comprising the heating which was very appreciated being quite cold outside. The breakfast was given in a paper bag placed into the fridge, with hard boiled eggs, bread, cheese, ham, yoghurt and an apple, all very fresh and tasty. The only thing that we missed was a bit of human contact ... Everything was done online and the breakfast "appeared" magically without seeing anybody around ... But we highly recommend this place to everyone loving peaceful and relaxing places.

“Friendly as non-face to face can be”
Everything can be arranged without direct contact. When it is about just having a shower, sleep and breakfast, that works just fine. Saving expenses from both sides. It was a good change to stay in a school rooms.

“Budget friendly hostel”
Calm surroundings and nice peaceful area. It was exciting to stay at an old school building. Room was tidy and fresh, I especially liked the soft linens. Breakfast and free parking was also great.
