Laune Valley Farm Hostel 41 An Bháinseach, Killorglin, County Kerry V93 N153

"Beautiful farm for a stay. Great host. Best breakfast."

"Mould on the sheets, sticking them to the floor. Lino in the 'on suite's bathroom that resembles the waves in an ocean. The bathroom door can't open all the way because of where the toilet is. The smell of mildew and decay everywhere. Been going for a few years to trade at Puck Fair. It gave me what I needed; a private room nearby. It's always been the least comfortable and least attractive place I've ever stayed but I put up with it because I thought the owner and I had become friends. There was something almost annual about bedding down three nights a year in a place that felt like it should be condemned. At least, (I thought) my business was appreciated and the owner was a friend. That changed this last trip. This is the first time I thought to look at the other reviews. The second fellow's right. Turns out she is a nasty little woman and I can't tell people enough to stay away. A tent by the road is more sanitary and comfortable. The reason it got a star is you have to put at least one to post it."

"The "Farm" hostel, was a good experience over all. There were some minuses and some plusses, but in the end we were happy with the choice our group made to stay here. For starters, the hostes was the loveliest person you can imagine, and she really made our stay pleasant. The breakfast was good and the location superb (2 km from the city center). The sheets were clean and the king sized beds were comfortable. The minuses were, that it really isn't a farm, there were only ducks and chickens, and now they had some puppies too. There were no cows etc that were visible on the web site. The rooms were not clean but not dirty to the point that it would have bothered us. There was no heating in the whole house, meaning it was cold and extremely moist, so bring your wool-socks with you."

"haha ok so it says write your review. my stay was only 20mins long. The place is a dump full of dust, dirty beds the toilet is truly horrible no towels. I could not stop sneezing in there. €20 is a bit much causing the place hasnt been looked after at all.... IF U WANT MY ADVICE DONT SAY HERE!!!!!! Also i got my money back and stayed somewhere else. Kinda annoyed i had to give it one star...."

"This place is a disgrace. Dirty dirty filthy. Blood stains on pillow, filthy sheets, bunk beds falling apart. Dirty smelly kitchen rotting food in filthy fridge. No soap in bathroom, dirty toilet leaking all over floor, shower that is not working properly, no hot water. Very unfriendly woman who owns it. I have no problem saying its the worst place I ever stayed in any country in the world."
