HI Point Reyes Hostel - Backpacker Hostel in Point Reyes Station - 1390 Limantour Spit Rd, USA

This place is a real gem, the rooms and facilities are super clean and well equipped, the location is just marvelous if you look for nature, peace and quiet. This is all topped with the nicest, friendliest and funniest hosts you could have. Brenda and Kevin made our stay so enjoyable by creating a welcoming and open atmosphere, also providing great advice on day trips, hikes etc. We were travelling with kids and sleeping in the bunkhouse, we can definitely recommend this place and would love to come back one day.

The hostel and staff are wonderful, to say the least. We were made to feel at home immediately. The room was super clean with very comfy beds. The kitchen was FULLY stocked and comfy. Excellent bathrooms and showers as well. The surroundings are breathing with nature galore. An absolute gem of a place to be. Wi-Fi is available in the main lodge which was nice to catch up on a bit of work. We will 100% stay here again. A little touch of paradise. You'll love Point Reyes and the hostel!

You can’t go wrong with this place! Stunning views, wildflowers, very well-maintained grounds and rooms. Kevin and Brenda, just some of the outgoing staff, suggested some amazing places to visit. They obviously loved the place as much as I did. A must stay! A++

I stayed here a week ago. Everything was fine except for the host (Kevin?). This man SHOULD NOT be working in a customer service job. He was rude to multiple guests on multiple occasions. A "host" who literally fights with everyone. It was unbelievable. I am not sure that he understands the hospitality concept.

Took my mom there a few years ago as part of her California experience tour. She made friends right away with her female roomie. I pretty much had the guys room to myself. Desk personnel very friendly and helpful, never expected to find someone out here that knows how to play Euchre! Loved the cozy living room, spacious kitchen and outside grounds. Stayed an extra 2 days due to road flooding, but what a nice place to wait it out! Just a short drive to the beach.

Great hostel to get away from it all. No cell service, no wifi, no kidding. Comfy couches and big armchairs. Warm blankets and clean sheets. The coastal trail is a beautiful way to get to the beach (about 2 miles away). I was there on a rainy weekend so I didn't get to enjoy the outside much, but if you're there when it's sunny there are a lot of outdoor chairs and tables. The kitchen space in the main building (where the single sex dorms are) is a bit small to accommodate everyone. It didn't help that a group of 20 people had booked out the whole bunkhouse, which doesn't have its own kitchen, so we were all sharing. The building with the family dorms/private rooms does have a kitchen. Alcohol is allowed and stored by staff.

Beautiful, peaceful hostel. Well kept and very classy for an off-the-grid stay. The staff was kind and super helpful, and it's very close to trails and other sites in the national seashore. Be warned though, the drive to the hostel is almost harrowing. Very curvy, steep roads. Prepare to use turn-outs to let ruffled locals blow past you. Not the hostel's fault, though, I had an incredibly beautiful stay.

Truly a special, remote location that isn’t too far from the city. We rented the entire bunkhouse, but food and non-water drinks were not allowed anywhere in the bunkhouse. This made enjoying the bunkhouse’s common area kind of limited. At $39/bunk bed, with 20 beds in the bunkhouse, it was a rather expensive house! Especially when we couldn’t eat and drink there, and we had to take out our trash, do some light cleaning, and replace our bedding before we left. Still, the hostel is a nice local getaway, and I recommend everyone visit at least once/one night. There is no cell phone reception or WiFi.
