There needs to be more consideration for doors slamming during quiet hours, this is down to individuals however, more notices on ALL doors to say DON'T ALLOW THE DOOR TO SLAM. I got woken up every night at different times 4/5am due to inconsiderate people, it shook the whole hostel. Improvements on quiet closing door options would also help. Cleaning could be improved on a deeper level but on the surface, it is fine. I would like to see more notices in the kitchen to say Please Wash Up and Clean as you would like the kitchen to be found. Also, notices in the toilet encouraging the same considerations. We all have different standards of hygiene but when it's a shared space/shared items, and not your home, extra consideration should be a standard. I am shocked by how some people wash-up, or leave a toilet after they've used it. Lastly, it would be helpful, and no effort to improve the information available on the listing e.g. I had asked in advance if they had the following available 1) a cafeteria as I wanted to bring some fresh coffee 2) lockers - I was told no to both yet when I arrived, there were 6 cafeteria and in the room I was in, there were lockers but you needed your own padlock. I would stay here again despite these improvements.

Guy, who is overseeing the running of the hostel is very welcoming, helpful and was happy for me to drop off my luggage, which I truly appreciated. I had a great stay overall. The kitchen is well equipped. The location was perfect for me - I don't drive so walked everywhere which suited me, also the buses to Wool Station and other locations e.g. Weymouth and Corfe Castle/Swanage was easy to access. They have a drying room which is a great feature for drying wet items/clothes. Beds are comfy and sanitary, also sheets. Each bed has an individual light and socket for charging electronics.

Others in hostel were banging the mens' loo/shower room, with result that it was like thunder/earthquake to those in room 6 next to it. Perhaps door can be adjusted, or a big sign put on both sides of it for those who are not aware of noise they create.

Bunk beds so sturdy that climbing up to top didn't shake the whole bunk, and mattresses thick with similar result. Excellently ventilated throughout. Fully equipped kitchen. No lockers but the manager stored your things safely. A lockable bike shed. TV in lounge.

It was very noisy in the morning when a group were leaving to go to work.

Staff were friendly and helpful, bed was comfortable, shower was hot.

Location was great, only about a 20min walk away from Lulworth cove visitor centre, which from there is an easy 5 min walk to Lulworth Cove, or one of the start points for heading to see Durdle Door!

I did not see the female only dorm option on booking so ended up in a mixed dorm which was not a pleasant experience. Staff allocated me a new bed immediately once I explained I did not want to share with a 50+ man watching porn on loud speaker. Also a few doors bang loudly as the hydraulic arms are broken, a simple problem to fix, that would hugely improve the experience for everyone.

Great little hostel, amazing location in quiet road, nice 15 min walk to Lulworth Cove along the back of the houses, easy access to coastal paths, bus routes, cafes, pub and Londis village shop which sells good selection of groceries and fresh baked bread and pastries. Helpful and friendly staff.

I guess to be expected for a location like this, but absolutely no interaction with other guests (this may be a Pro for you). Not really any hangout areas, no social aspects. Also no plug sockets near the bed for charging your phone. Also no storage/lockers in the rooms.

Comfortable beds, nice and quiet, only 4 beds in my room, so a bit more private than most. On site parking was very nice.

None that I can think of.

The staff named Guy was very helpful in answering our questions and responding to our requests. We booked the 6 bunk-beds and the bed was comfortable to sleep with duvet. In the room, there are lockers where we can put our stuff and we have our own sink. Toilet and shower facilities are clean and in a shared space. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in the hostel.

One girl in the dormitory from Egypt studying in Manchester had an alarm which rang every hour from 4 am to 9 lam and she hardly stirred - when sleep can be a luxury to all of us.

Spacious, well set up, comfortable and clean, with a good kitchen and helpful staff. N.B. Drive to the end of School Lane to find the one storey hostel - as it's not well sign-posted.

No hot water first night in showers - seemed to resolve by second night Loud noise of doors closing in the morning from other guests - a bit disturbing to sleep

Cost for value can't be beat - good location, near the local Castle Inn pub which was great and a short walk to Lulworth Cove. Staff were friendly and accommodating

The doors can be quite noisy and the walls fairly thin. The first night I spent there, was difficult to sleep without earplugs. There was a family next door speaking really loudly, normally hostels don't accommodate children but this one did unfortunately.

Good location, large kitchen and dining area. It met all my needs. There was parking on site and it was easy to walk into town or to the Lulworth Cove. The people I shared the room with were all pleasant.
