Horrible. Do not book with them as you won't be able to even contact anybody regarding your reservation. Horrendous staff service.

Just needed a place to crash overnight after seeing a concert in Pioneertown and CrashPod did the job. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They made checking in super easy. The facilities were very clean and well maintained.

You get what you pay for. Helpful staff. Cute chickens and kittens outside which is sweet. Washer/dryer out of commission. Privacy curtains on bunk beds were helpful. Quiet guests without drama, noise, or smells. Never a line at the shower/bathroom. Bathroom was pretty clean but be sure to bring shower shoes and toiletries. Building didn’t get too hot on 93 degree days

Staff were friendly and the place was clean. There were no bugs inside. It is also quiet. The whole place was very dark though at all times. I had to use phone flashlight to enter the room. If you like your weed this is a good place.

Great value! I got my own room and the basics. I was able to get in despite arriving later than planned thanks to a helpful on site manager. It's about 25 minutes from Indian Wells if you're considering it for the tennis tournament. Bathrooms are shared but clean and I was happy with the overall experience. Recommend earplugs if you're a light sleeper (I had a snorer next door and the private rooms are not noise proof due to incomplete walls).

I would have brought food for the pets.

I really enjoyed the wild hosts. They really come alive at night. I met up with the cat right before leaving and you’d barely recognize it since it looks like skin and bones during the day. At night, it resembles a fat cat without loose skin or rolls. Wish I would have known that there were going to be chickens around. I would have brought food. You also need change for the laundry machines. The place was nice and cozy. I kept to myself. It was in good condition when I arrived. I would have used new mops or t shirts in each room for mopping.

What can I say, this is not a typical hostel for a young traveler when he/she is traveling on a budget, trying to stay safe, in a clean and comfortable space where there’s a sense of community and an opportunity to meet new and interesting people. This is more like a combination of halfway house with low income people where half of guests is either drunk or stoned, some people “volunteer” there for “room and board”, but except for one lady it’s really hard to say what they really do there. The house is a dirty shack, with plywood walls separating rooms, hair and dead bug laying on the shower floor in the bathroom, a pile of dirty dishes sitting in the sink, everything grimy and sticky to touch. Mattresses in the bedroom were still wrapped in plastic, I didn’t feel comfortable using their sheets, so I slept in my own sleeping bag. Expedia also mentioned free breakfast but there was no breakfast. And the cost was high, I expected much higher quality for $65 a night. I could stay in a nice motel for this price. I really don’t recommend this place and I would never stay there again, even if someone paid me.

Staff and guests are respectful and everyone keeps to themselves. Rooms are dark enough to get a good night's sleep or a day nap after a long day.

The place is a bit hidden/remote yet it's close enough to get to nearby cities. The staff has a great vibe. John and Sarah are wonderful hosts. Place is not for everyone. One must understand the rural vibe and the quietness. It's a nice hommie place. Although it's shared rooms, one has certain privacy in the bunk beds with the curtains. Plus, if it's a place to just crash, one gets there just to sleep and doesn't even see a person. Lol. I didn't. Clean bathroom, very important. All in all, a "yes" for the option of "would come back".

This place has a homey vibe I enjoy. The other guests are nice, the cats and chickens are fun to wake up to. Not perfect, but they are actively improving this hostel, but great prices if you are traveling on a budget.
