YHA Recenzje 

Family of 5 had an amazing week staying in a Bell Tent in Manorbier; friendly site, very clean well equipped kitchen and bathroom facilities. Only negative was the breakfast, it was very expensive for the food on offer - very poor quality and very limited. We paid £50 for 5 people and only ate wheetabix because the cooked food was so disgustingly poor quality.

I've stayed in plenty of YHA hostels across England and Wales, particularly in YHA Earl's Court a few times in the last couple of years prior to this review. I've always had a great experience with them, particularly with how cheap you can get some rooms if you book at the right time.

With that being said, the beds are always decent, and the breakfasts are always well done and fantastic. The only real issue I have is with how hot some of the rooms get, which I partially put down to: a) the nature of the building, and b) the air con being ramped up to max.

Other than that, I'm always incredibly pleased with YHA, whether I'm travelling solo or with a trip.

Good budget stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and it was fine for a low-cost overnight stay. The hotel is a former setup with basic facilities. The only downside was the shared toilets, which were not very clean and could be improved. Overall, if you’re looking for an affordable place to sleep and don’t mind shared bathrooms, it’s an acceptable option.

I have been a regular visitor personally and with groups and have always enjoyed staying at The Sill in Northumberland but my last recent visit was marred by an unhelpful experience with a young male member of staff (I assume he was an employee as he spoke as one but was not wearing the usual uniform) who was surly and unfriendly, made no eye contact and was not helpful at all. There seemed to be no-one else around and the service was not what we expected. Disappointing. Please do better next time.

Really enjoyed my stay at YHA Brecon Beacons. The location is great and the whole place had a really friendly atmosphere. The food was genuinely excellent and much better than I expected.

Wayne and Sue were both so welcoming and helpful throughout my stay and really made a difference to the experience. You can tell they care a lot about the place and the people staying there. I’d happily stay again and would definitely recommend it.

Wifi horrible, food taste like water does not fill you up, water has not been cleaned properly, food gives you food poisoning and other things, ceiling so thin you can hear people talking above you, toilets flood,

Me and my children stayed in the YHA boggle hole. Absolutely beautiful setting.

The place was very clean, staff were friendly and the food we ordered was lovely. Would stay again

I had a broken foot . I requested a lower bunk. The hostel refused to respond to my request. I called up and they said they had no lower bunks. I explained I could not get into an upper bunk because I have a broken foot. I asked to void the booking they refused. I called back the next day and spoke to the manager and he refused my refund. Every time I called they patronised and put the phone down. I contacted customer service and they ignored my concerns and banned me for five years falsely claiming I swore on the phone. Because the staff refused to refund me and kept putting the phone down they tried to justify their behaviour by falsely lying that I swore. Only the YHA could end up banning someone for five years who has a broken foot and only asked for something reasonable or a refund. Even if I had sworn is a five year ban from every hostel in the country really proportionate. I didn’t even enter the hostel and the conversation was over the phone. It is just bullying. They also have a customer charter that claims to put the needs of the customer at the heart of everything they do. Really really disappointing. Do not use the YHA if you have medical needs or do not use them full stop. There is a very poor culture, that is bordering on toxic throughout the association, from top to bottom. They prioritise money over the needs of the customer. A dying association which will reach its demise with their current attitude. Best to steer clear. Their customer service team is pointless and actually very dismissive. They will pretend to listen and just ignore you. Don’t waste your time with them

I asked for a very basic medical accommodation when booking; to sleep on a bottom bunk. The hostel refused to give me any guarantee, on the grounds that this was not a reasonable request.

Travelers with medical accommodations should be aware before booking!

I booked a trip but half an hour after booking i received a phone call to say we need to view a property as we are in the process of moving,i then emailed the yha only to be told no refund would be made due to their policy,however the trip is days away,so then i contacted expedia who took the payment but yet no money left my account,that was a lie,now im fighting to get a refund and expedia and yha are shutting me down saying they cant help,the yha have been given enough time to refund me a warning to anyone trying to get their money back ive responded to the yha but now they dont reply back now they have said no refund,no part refund they were given anough notice now they will have sold that room and make more money how greedy is that

Another great stay in YHA Keswick, 2 of us had a room to ourselves with 5 beds, only negative only 1 locker

Staff was super rude, treated us like shit and called us stupid for entering the kitchen, threatened to terminate us for asking questions. would not recomend to anyone. rooms were extremely nasty aswell.

YHA Byron Bay! I am shocked at how disgusting the room is. There is cobwebs, lots of dust and even old chewing gum stuck all over the bed canopy (bunk bed). I also doubt the bed linen has been changed. I have asked for it to be cleaned or just for cleaning supplies so I can do it myself. It could not be done, but maybe tomorrow. SO I HAVE TO SLEEP IN IT?!?!

I was so offended by the contemptuous customer service - Harry’s first response lacked integration and he didn’t even have the courtesy to respond the next one - that cancelled my membership at a time when I was looking to take regular camping and cabin breaks and support a worthwhile cause at the same time.

The issue was being turned away from Castleton as I had a dog - not something that YHA considered worth mentioning in their website sections on: dogs; camping and cabins; Castleton’s own camping and cabins’ section; the hostel need to know section; or the two emails they sent me with information about my trip.

Even worse I had reached the Castleton site via the a link under the YHA’s ‘favourite doggy destinations’ section!

Mistakes happen but the arrogant and condescending staff member at Castleton (it was in small print buried long after their camping and cabins section) and YHA complaints Harry’s woeful response lost them a member.

My bank refunded the money - YHA had no defence and didn’t even try and justify their refusal to apologise and refund me. That cost time and goodwill however and I have instead used private offerings via Airbnb (with clearer booking and T&Cs) ever since.

It’s no wonder that the YHA have financial issues.

I have given two stars as, long after I complained (I don’t believe for a minute that I was the only one to fall foul of their inadequate website here) they have finally made the Castleton no dogs policy clear on their website (and explained why).

In case the YHA care beyond a boiler plate ‘email us’ Trustpilot response the complaint reference was RCN-10036067

My jacket has been stolen from my bed after checkout time. Anyone who was meant to have left the room had already done so by the time I woke up and left the room so it only infers that the thief would’ve had a room card for tonight. Staff didn’t have any solution. I lost my only jacket which was a souvenir from my holiday in Prague I just came back from and now I’ll be freezing cold without a jacket in this freezing weather.

It could’ve been something more valuable and I feel powerless.

DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOSTEL YOUR BELONGINGS WILL BE STOLEN AND YOU WONT GET ANY SUPPORT !!!!!

I'm giving up my membership. Used to go to Tintagel and Boscsstle every year but now you have to book whole room or as in Tintagel the whole building. On a lot of searches it's room only or book whole building. Defeats the object of what YHA was created for. As a one person hiker it's not what it used to be.

Poor service and poor food, the fish and chips were over cooked and there was very little fish content, however the breakfast was nice and good value.

As a long term member of YHA it has come apparent the customer service is getting worse , turned from a friendly cheap accommodation location to a expensive pack them in box.
My recent stay at edale was the final nail in the coffin
Too many bunks in the room , no storage and over priced food and accessories.
After 40 years I have cancelled my membership and will never return

We recently stayed with our four children at the Chester Trafford Hall YHA, and booked two private rooms.
The facilities were excellent, the food was brilliant and the staff were so lovely and friendly.
Will definitely recommend and use again.

Went to YHA Langdale in Ambleside for my residential. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! Food was awful, I mean it shows when my friend threw it up. The building looked dodgy and there was cracks in the walls EVERYWHERE!!! Don't waste your money on YHA.
