The Old Countryhouse Backpackers

CAUTION - Extra charges will apply because hostel manager is not clear in her instructions. Hostel is in a good location, great vibe with the added kitty. Other guests are great. However, beware of hostel manager who is everything BUT clear with her after-hours instructions We were charged 30$ extra for using showers that we were 'not supposed to use'. I wonder if she charges extra to those who leave the kitchen dirty after cooking? Wanted to leave luggage in her storage room and would have done so had she not arrived and rudely told us she would close the storage room at 2.00 instead of 4.00 PM like it is written on the door of said storage room. A shame that a great trip to Christchurch ended on such a note

(Translated by Google) Check in at night. what a drama Once payment was made, no response. Neither for rebooking nor alternatives. what a drama We have been traveling for a year and it has never been so difficult to make a booking or get into a hostel. Arriving at night, pin didn't work. Contact person on site almost non-existent. Next time we'll sleep at the airport. Thanks for nothing. (Original) Check-in in der Nacht. Was fr ein Drama. Sobald die Zahlung erfolgte, keine Reaktion mehr. Weder fr Umbuchung noch Alternativen. Was fr ein Drama. Wir sind seid einem Jahr unterwegs und es war noch nie so schwierig eine Buchung abzuschlieen, bzw in ein Hostel zu gelangen. Anreise in der Nacht, pin hat nicht funktioniert. Ansprechperson vor Ort quasi nicht vorhanden. Nchstes mal schlafen wir am Flughafen. Danke fr nichts.
