We loved staying here! It‘s a bit of a drive to the park, but a very easy and enjoyable one :) this is the best value you can get for your money in/around yosemite for sure!! Only troubles we had were no paper towels in the bathroom and our door didn’t lock properly from the outside, but I‘m sure the staff would’ve fixed both immediately if we said something (as all the staff members we talked to were extremely friendly and competent) but it wasn’t that big of a deal to us.

Loved the spa and restaurant. Was amazing to use after a long day of hiking.

Great location and good price. The café was a nice touch, and breakfast was delicious! However, the cleanliness and maintenance of the rooms and property could use some improvement. Our bathroom door was difficult to close and lock, and the shower door had to be held shut while showering, or it would open and make everything wet—quite frustrating. That said, you get what you pay for, and if you’re looking to save money while traveling, I would definitely recommend this place.

Really nice hostel and atmosphere here. Feels like a small village. It took us one hour to get to Yosemite Valley, which was absolutely fine. Only thing that was a bit annoying was the door in our bathroom in our dorm, which was impossible to open quietly. Otherwise would definitely recommend.

If you’re a Solo backpacker this is probably the closest affordable place to stay to Yosemite, it’s still a 1 hour drive to Yosemite village but it’s a nice drive and well worth it, it didn’t have the same social vibe I’ve had at other hostels but everyone was arriving late and leaving early - no faults at all really.

Konnte hier leider nicht schlafen. Es könnte an meinem Allergien gegen Staub gelegen haben.

Beautiful resort! Solo female traveler and it was very safe. The workers at the front desk were super nice and helpful when I needed anything. The bathroom is modern and always clean and bright. The bed and comforter were very cozy. My first solo trip and it was beautiful because of this resort. They have a very nice cafe, spa, and kitchen area to use.

Il posto è bellissimo, immerso nella natura. Ho preso una stanza condivisa con altre 5 ragazze (6 in tutto) e la stanza era pulitissima, bagno compreso. Una delle stanze più belle in cui abbia dormito durante questo road trip in California! Comodissima la cucina in comune (super ben organizzata e pulita) e hanno a disposizione anche un ristorante bar. Non potevo chiedere di meglio!

My stay at The Bug was incredible. It's about halfway between Merced and Yosemite Park so location wise it really works. The YARTS bus stops in front of the road and makes The Bug very accessible. I stayed in the female dorm rooms, they got cleaned every single day and had everything I needed (bring a lock!). It's all very cozy, there's a great vibe and everyone is friendly. The communal kitchen gets used by a lot of people but everyone looks after their own products with a great sticker system...

Given that we’re talking about the US, it’s a passable hostel (and at least one exists at all), and there is not much wrong with the place, just really nothing remarkable and it’s far from the park. It’s nice that there is a bus stop on the road. Food was expensive so I didn’t try the restaurant. Bed was comfortable enough but no curtains. Staff was aloof but mostly polite.

Very useful for a budget visit to Yosemite. Approx 90min away from the centre of the valley and park, but easy and affordable journey on YARTS bus. Hostel worked well, friendly people and staff

Beautiful place, great amenities, we had a lovely stay. I just recommend some path lights because I couldn't see at night walking from my tent cabin to the bathrooms and the stairs were dangerous. Also some coat/towel hanging hooks on the walls or free-standing hanger in the tent cabin would be nice.

Stayed in the mixed dorm. Good facilities and location. Complimentary towel was a nice addition you don't often see in a hostel.

Das Hostel war wirklich gut, für das was es ist. Es war jetzt nicht übertrieben schön oder gut ausgestattet, aber man hat ein angenehmes Bett mit vielen Decken, falls einem kalt wird. Das Badezimmer ist auch sehr sauber gehalten und die duschen sind sehr heiß und haben einen guten Druck. Es wurde ein Handtuch und Schampoo/Spülung/Seife sowie ein Handtuch bereitgestellt was wirklich sehr praktisch ist falls man mit minimalen Gepäck anreist. Küche war gut ausgestattet und es gab auch Koch e...

Honestly a very cool hostel but def more a camp feel. The bar was super cute and being in the woods is nice! But the rooms are very large and you have to go outside to get to the washrooms which isn't the worst but something to be prepared for

Cute hostel with a good kitchen. You also have the option to eat at their restaurant. The rooms are ok and the bathrooms are clean. I wish they had a commun room where you can chill with some sofas during the winter !
