He gave me a good rundown of where everything was at .He gave me some good tips on where to get food , gas and where and when to see sites and good hiking spots. The cabin was very clean and so was the bathroom . ##### chris Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### David, Michigan 5 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Want to experience nature? This is the place! When the place advertised no running water or electricity, I was a bit worried, but given how all other area hotels were booked, I didn't have much of an option. It turned out to be a great experience. They have a kitchen with all the needed plates, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Plus, the Lake Louise hostel allows you to take showers there, which completely eliminated fears of staying there. I had great fun meeting other people during the stay, so would I go back? Absolutely! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### rob, toronto, on 4 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice cabin next to a creek Wish I could have stayed longer, had an itinerary to follow. Saw a sign: free stays to those who volunteers ##### rob Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### CHUNGFU 24 Sept 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### 原野平價住宿 原野平價住宿 ##### CHUNGFU ### 6/10 Okay #### sungmin 28 Aug 2016 There's no shower and modern style toilet (There's only squat toilet) In other words, this is little better than camping. However it's cheap and you can feel the nature. Remember you need to check in before 10PM because literally you cannot find the hostel after 10PM because of darkness. You can't even see 3 meter forward and there's no light in the night. Therefore you have to walk into darkness and that's very spooky. ##### sungmin ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Nov 2015 Liked: Staff & service It is a wilderness hostel so don't expect a regular hotel but I got exactly what I wanted. Very beautiful area and a nice place to get away from it all ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Baker Creek By Basecamp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Baker-Creek-Mountain-Resort.h7710611.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunshine Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Hotels-Sunshine-Mountain-Lodge.h894279.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Fairmont-Jasper-Park-Lodge.h24928.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Bungalows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pine-Bungalows.h37405792.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Pembroke by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pembroke-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Pembroke.h5598436.Hotel-Information) > > [Pyramid Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pyramid-Lake-Resort.h487039.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Mountain Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Junction-Hotels-Castle-Mountain-Chalets.h6508769.Hotel-Information) > > [Glacier House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Revelstoke-Hotels-Glacier-House-Resort.h2832756.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpine Meadows Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clearwater-Hotels-Alpine-Meadows-Resort.h12489764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crimson Jasper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-The-Crimson-Jasper.h28261.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Louise Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Lake-Louise-Inn.h74992.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Whitby by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oshawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Whitby.h456085.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Rocky Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Rocky-Mountain-Resort.h2746.Hotel-Information) > > [Marmot Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Marmot-Lodge.h28260.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Fairmont-Chateau-Lake-Louise.h22503.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Jasper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Chateau-Jasper.h10253.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Jasper-Inn-Suites-By-Sunrise.h32667087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Membertou-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sydney-Nova-Scotia.h4905064.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Jasper.h126160.Hotel-Information) > > [Tonquin Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Tonquin-Inn.h6709279.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Robson Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Mount-Robson-Inn.h917520.Hotel-Information) > > [Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penticton-Hotels-Penticton-Lakeside-Resort-And-Conference-Centre.h17500.Hotel-Information) > > [Moberly Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Moberly-Lodge.h11765247.Hotel-Information) > > [Whistler's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Whistlers-Inn.h920356.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Gate Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canmore-Hotels-Banff-Gate-Mountain-Resort.h5900828.Hotel-Information)
