    The hostel was spacious with fantastic bathrooms and common areas. The owner, a lovely woman, was incredibly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was vibrant, thanks to interesting guests and friendly staff. We even had a memorable night around the campfire with a sing-along. My private cabin had a perfect buckwheat bed, ensuring a comfortable sleep. The cabin was peaceful, well-heated, and had excellent electrical facilities. The common areas were inviting, with a great vibe, friendly staff, and reliable wifi. Having a full kitchen was also a huge plus.

    I would highly recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at a hostel in Haines Junction and had a fantastic experience. The communal feel of the place was beautiful, and the location was perfect for our team gathering for a bike relay race. The amenities in the kitchen were top-notch, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. It was great to meet people from all over the world and share our adventures. Despite a few minor drawbacks, I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable stay. I had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.

    I had a wonderful time staying at this lovely hostel. the common areas were nice and spacious, and the staff was incredibly friendly. the overall vibe of the place was great, and the wifi worked perfectly, even in the Yukon. Having a full kitchen was a major plus, as it allowed me to prepare my own meals. the owner/operator of the hostel was a lovely woman who was very helpful and friendly. the private cabin where I stayed had a comfortable bed, possibly a buckwheat bed, and it was quiet with excellent heating/electric. a fantastic experience at Wanderer'S Inn Backpackers. Cons: All good! 😊.

    The hostel offered spacious common rooms and clean bathrooms, which were a great plus during my stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, making me feel welcomed. the hostel's location was convenient, being close to key attractions and amenities, making it easy for me to explore and access everything I needed. the comfortable common areas, helpful staff, and convenient location were the best aspects of my experience.

    There were a few drawbacks that affected my stay. One roommate in my shared room was inconsiderate, using their computer with a bright screen late at night, disturbing my sleep despite my request to turn it off.
