Would only go there during the summer.
Fair price and location.
Too cold. The sleeping room was not heated. I stayed at the place in november.

The concept is interesting, and you get to meet nice people. There's hot water in the shower and a warm duvet, which
• good communication with the owner • comfortable mattress and warm duvet • good location
• cleanliness could be improved • room temperature could be a bit higher • no hair dryer :( with low temperatures and long hair, it was a challenge

Cheap, quiet, friendly
Cheap and quiet - that was ideal for me, staying just one night on my own. Three other people were there that evening, and they were all friendly, and very quiet at night. Frank came by to welcome me and the other new guest. A very friendly and open person. Thank you Frank for this opportunity!
Of course, one should not expect big luxury for such a low price. And, as other reviews have mentioned, one has to answer some questions about cleaning etc. during the booking process. However, I think that's understandable, and not too big of an effort.

The place with the best value for money in The Netherlands
The price is excellent for what you get and the owner, Frank, is very friendly and talkative. Also, it is 10 minutes away from the Helmond train stop, which is 10 minutes away from Eindhoven Central Station, so you can manage to be in Eindhoven in 20 minutes. I would recommend it for sure.
Maybe some areas could be a little cleaner, but I guess that the self-sufficiency style of the hostel implies that you are aware of that so that you manage to do it by yourself. If you don't like it, just go somewhere else (much more expensive).

Top experience for me. I enjoyed the friendly people as well as Frank's straightforward style.
First of all let me inform you that this is the best value for money that I have experienced so far in my travels. With that value comes an honourable contract with Frank that you will look after everything according to his specifications. If we all do our best to put everything back in its place of origin, keep the limescale and any other residues at bay by drying everything after we have used it, treating each other with respect and communication, anyone can enjoy immense value for money and learn from reciprocation and co-operation. It goes without saying that there are opportunities to meet lots of different people at a hostel and that's exactly what I was able to experience here. As many older and wiser people have told me before "Life is what you make of it." This is a prime example - put in a bit of conscientiousness and care and receive the same as well as incredible cost effective living that is mutually supportive (of course we can all make mistakes too, but it is the attitude of care that matters). Well done Frank! Keep going and I hope others will appreciate what you are offering. P.S. Your art in the hallway dispelled many of my otherwise occupied moments and made the stay very enjoyable too.
Nothing to say here really. It is an experience for particular people who are suited for this. When Frank emails you with guidelines about how it all works, you are getting exactly "What it says on the Tin." If you don't like it / or want it and the considerable benefits that it entails, then it is not for you.

good for budgettravlers but not very hygienic
- lockers and enough space for luggage - host is friendly and helps with anything - location is very convenient
- the place is quite dirty, there were spiderwebs and questionable spots in a lot of spaces, the shower curtain was moldy, and the general smell reminded me of a wet basement. Also, my bed had fingernail clips, hair, and dirt on it when I arrived... - I saw a rat running around the garden quite close to the dorm, which scared us to open the door to let fresh air in - personally, I was fine with it because my roommate were trustworthy, but the shower could not be locked, so be prepared - there was so soap or dishsoap around which was quite inconvenient

One of the worst hostels I've stayed in - not recommended
I stayed 6 nights at this hostel, and unfortunately, it was one of my worst experiences on Booking. The host was unfriendly and acted in a strange, controlling manner. He constantly monitored guests' water usage, claiming it was to protect the wooden floors and save money-but despite this, the hostel was not clean. Beds were not changed between guests, and some arrived to find dirty sheets still in place. Several listed amenities were either missing or not usable. Guests were expected to dry their hands and even the wet wooden floor with used towels. Privacy was also a serious issue. The host entered the dormitory at random times without warning and kept track of how often people showered or moved around. Conversations with him often felt tense and confrontational. Worse, I noticed rats near the dormitory room, which is completely unacceptable in any accommodation.
