BEFORE YOU BOOK we urge people to read all of our Hostel Conditions, Age Restriction policy, Payment policy, Cancellation policy and Things To Note.

MINIMUM AGE RESTRICTION is 18 years old. We do not accept bookings for anyone under the age of 18. If you book and a member of your party is under the age of 18 we reserve the right to cancel your booking and our cancellation policy may apply.
There is no upper age limit, but we are not suitable for people who have limited mobility.

Please note:

- Cancellation policy: 48 hours notice before 10am GMT on the day of intended arrival is required to cancel a booking. Failure to cancel within this time will result in a cancellation charge equal to the first night of your stay (excluding bookings between 27th December 2023 and 2 January 2024).

There is a 14 Day Cancellation Policy between 27 December 2023 and 2 January 2024.

Guest NO SHOWS will result in the WHOLE of the reservation being charged.

- Office Hours: Monday to Saturday: 7.30am - 11.00pm Sundays: 8.00am - 6pm. Sunday nights from 6 pm the office is totally closed until 7.30 Monday morning.

Payment in cash is preferred.

- All bookings from 17 March 2023 there is a 14-night maximum stay policy, after which returning guests are free to rebook after a 6-week period.

Bookings may be subjected to a pre-authorisation on the card given - if this is declined, then we will cancel your booking and notify you immediately.

The Badger does not have a lift and our 6 person dorms have triple bunks. The bunk beds are not allocated on a first come, first served basis, so we are unable to reserve lower beds.

If you arrive before 10.30am, your room may not be ready, but you can leave your bags in the office for free until the room is ready.

Check-out 10 am at the latest.
