young backpackers homestay is a mix between airbnb/hostel/hotel/private houseing ... best for young uncomplicated backpackers and people who like to meet other people from all over the world. if you want to be by yourself and have a quiet time, this is maybe not the best place to stay ... also people who want a clean kitchen and bathroom i cant promise it because also other people use it and i clean it once a day.

Better plan to come before 22:00 out of respect to the neighbors and the other people who are allready sleeping in the dorm. Because of that we do not offer checkins after 10pm.
I'm really easy going but there are
7 SUPER SIMPLY GOLDEN RULES
1. WATCH THE VIDEO - READ ALL OF THIS INFORMATIONS - WRITE ME IN WHATSAPP For Example (MY NAME : RAINER KARNOWSKI - FREE BUSTICKET/DISCOUNTCARD - ARRIVING 01.01.2020 )
2. SILENCE AFTER 22:00 The house and surounding must be quiet after 22:00 (10pm) public spaces and terasse/outside is closed. Please respect my neighbors and other guests who need there sleep. if you want to party and chat late in to the night you must go to the bars or clubs in the city.
3. RESPECT THE NEIGHBOORHOOD Please do not ring doorbels or walk on the propperty of my Neighbors or Fly the Drone in the area... Thanks
4. NO DRINKING, EATING, OR SMOKING INSIDE YOUR ROOM Take off your shoes (keep your socks on) at the main door and carry your suitcases if they have wheels on it. Please don’t eat food or drink in your room (we have a nice big table in the living room for eating), and no smoking in the room as well. Sorry about this rule... but I had multiple bad experience about this issue in the past.
5. PAYING OPTIONS Il try to make all bookings as cheap as possible for low budget backpackers. I offer extra stuffs that will make your stay even better... like parking, food, breakfast, sauna, jaquzi, alcohol, laundry machine … it’s not included in the room price. There is a Tip box and credit card machine in the living room so you can pay by yourself if im not there... please pay what you used and make it possible for other guest who comes after you, so that I can still offer those things.
6. NO SELF SERVICE FOR SAUNA, POOL OR THE ALCOHOL ... tell me please if you would like to use or try it.
7. DONT BE SHY AND HIDE IN YOUR ROOM. We are all shy when we are in a new place, I know, but we allways have nice and friendly people in the house who like to chat. You can use almost everything in the house. Just ask me if you have any wishes or questions. I will try my best to make you feel at home as soon your are here.
These rules are simple, but very important for this house ... I want to make sure that every guest here has a nice and comfortable stay.
