    I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Glow Worm Hostel. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were kind and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring Franz Josef. Great value for money—I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to other travellers.

    6.8 / 10Average·Apr 2026
    I booked a room for a trip with my family. The hostel is very well located and it’s simple. The staff was kind on the time we stayed there. They offer free popcorn, vegetarian soup on the evenings and has a spa at the carpark. The room I stayed was not great, it smelled mould and the shower was leaking water from the drain to the floor. I informed the staff about the issues and they said they would check, they didn’t. The room also had a bunch of old things as part of the decoration, which didn’t help to keep the room clean and without mould. Would I stay it again? Probably yes if I’m on a very tight budget. But I would look for other properties or camping as an option first. Definitely come with friends backpacking and have low expectations.
