Best hostel experiences

Best hostel of the trip!! Amazing vibe! Best location, and awesome staff!
You can get a bed in a doormroom, a private family room, a glamping tent outside, or rent a tent pad for your own tent.
Has amazing views! And most nights the owner lights up the firepit, and everyone hangs out outside.
I'd recommend also visiting the cultural center and the village Cafe!
Just the best hostel experience I've had in a long time!!!

Excellent stay - everything a hostel should be!

This place was excellent. It was fun, cozy, and memorable at the same time. The owner provided complimentary bear spray, Trekking poles, mosquito repellent, etc. There was always a fire going outside. The owner shared very useful knowledge of the area, including some fun hikes. Overall, this place was a blast.

Go To A Campground Instead

There is a bot giving this place all the 5 star Google reviews.
When looking more closely at the 180 google reviews, giving this an overall 4.9 rating, in one day there were 30, 5 star ratings, mostly with NO comments. Mostly NOT in English.
This place doesn’t house 30 people in a day. And even if it did…every single person reviewed it?
They allow smoking inside. The owner smokes. So does employee #1. They both stink of cigarettes and #1 has that constant hackers cough. Walking around, constantly hacking. Eek.
We stayed in “the shed” after a smoker was there. Good thing we travel with a candle for stinky rooms. Room is incredibly small (really hard for 2 people to change at the same time), and NOT very clean (we sacrificed a towel to put on the floor so we would be stepping on clean).
There are only 2 full bathrooms (NO separate sink or toilets). So, if you have “to go”, or want to brush your teeth during the time when 2 people are showering, you are SOL. Upstairs, they could easily wall off (partial wall already there) between the shower and commode/sink, and add in a pocket door. So, with minimal cost, it would greatly help with the congestion. At the very least, the employees should shower (and blow dry their hair in the bathroom) during a non peak time.
In asking how many max people can stay here. There was a long convo (in French) between #1 and another employee. After much discussion and counting of beds by room, they decided on…20. Really? You work here and don’t know this?
There are 3 employees (2 of which whistle, non stop. Ahem.), always there, sitting around. It’s very odd…none of them seem to have a vehicle, and they just watch ?? (videos or whatever) without ear buds, prepare/cook/eat food, or sit outside next to the open front door and smoke.
The house has minimal windows and when it’s warm outside, it’s stifling inside, especially upstairs. Sitting downstairs or outside also isn’t appealing with the cigarette smoke.
There are NOT many places to sit, especially with 3 employees take up a third of them.
The photo is the pile of garbage sitting next to the back door, that was there for our entire stay.
I suggest to stay in one of the great Yukon campgrounds (which I didn’t know about), than here. Go to the new large Visitor Center for clean water, many clean toilets and sinks, and free WiFi.

Great spot to stay.

So helpful and accommodating. We were coming over the mountain from Alaska and had no service and kept getting disconnected. Sam went the extra mile to try to connect with us to get us a couple beds. It was very clean, and well taken care of. It's a hostel, so bunk beds, but a great spot to spend the night.
