8/10 Very good

Helpful and flexible with uncertainty over bookings, and the accommodation was at least satisfactory in general... but there was drastically inadequate parking for a full hostel, and we were not given all the necessary info about how to gain access to the buildings ! ( a helpful resident who happened to be up late saved us from standing outside in the cold and dark. Make sure the person on the desk not only gives over the FULL keypad entry number...but also HOW to access the key pad in order to actually press the numbers and symbols in! :-l

That was a lovely property: clean and with both self catering and breakfast options. Reception staff was really friendly and welcoming.
Victoria, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was great. However the parking was not. Had to navigate tight one track road to turn and then park down the hill on the road and walk back with luggage. Could do with a secure drop off.

Great location

Good location, reasonable size room, good kitchen which was well equipped and the staff were excellent. Shower wasn't as clean as we would have expected and the light on the nearest toilet didn't work. Couple of nice pubs very close to the hostel.

Malodorous Malham Hostel

The room was dirty and cold (the heater didn't work). The ensuite bathroom was full of mildew and made the entire room smell.

3 Peaks Challenge home

Excellent location in a beautiful village. Unable to park on night 1 as no space, limited parking was highlighted so not an issue. Rooms are very clean, showers & toilet excellent. Absolute value for money & would stay again.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Parking not signposted well for arrivals in the dark. Sign informing drivers of reverse parking only visible in daylight, might have helped people park properly and leave more space for other vehicles. 2 bed rooms v small but ok for a one night stay. Anyone using toilets will disturb others sleeping in rooms nearby.

2/10 Poor

Staying in a Dorm-never again

Shared a bunk beded dorm with a cyclist and 2 tenters chased into the YHA accommodation by wet weather. Cyclist eccentric but didn’t bother me overmuch. The two tenters had too much to drink and both snored very loudly. One in particular was almost unconscious and regularly had noisy dream episodes, farted like billyho, (wonder what his pants were like in the morning) coughing episodes followed by noisy loud noisy sighs. His “pal” rightly told him regularly during the night to shut up using various choice swear words. RESULT, I didn’t get any sleep at all until at least 330am and was glad to leave 4 hours later after very little sleep for a motorbike run of several hundred miles through inclement weather. Is this the way these people behave at home? Totally unacceptable! Other things that bothered me were the noisy female next door who was quiet before midnight thank goodness and no rolls on the morning to accommodate the sausage, just white bread and the plastic under sheets on the bed making for a very sweaty slippery unpleasant time on the bed while I whiled away the hours hoping for day to break. Are all hostels like this or am I just unlucky?

Typical YHA - clean, warm, great location!

This YHA was up to the standard of all YHAs I have stayed in. Clean rooms, personal storage and space for each bunk and a well equipped common area. The staff were friendly, breakfast service was especially good and the buildings seemed to be well maintained. It wouldn't be the most stunning of all the YHAs around but the location a mere 50 yards from an excellent pub and at the heart of hiking and biking action I would defo recommend this.

YHA Malham

YHA Malham is very conveniently located in the middle of the village. The hostel offers all the services and facilities that you would expected and need from a youth hostel.
