No Covid compliance whatsoever apart from a few bottles of sanitiser in old frying oil bottles in a very cluttered reception area. Filthy dirty, hot water tap in kitchen doesn't produce any water whatsoever. There are no locks on the cabins so your belongings are there for anyone to take. I questioned this and was told they don't need to lock anything round there. Yet the honesty box in reception had a padlock on. Photos on the site are very old, tried to upload my pics and videos on other sites with no success. There's a huge difference between quaint and quirky and neglected and uncared for. This place could be so lovely but it resembles an unloved overgrown scrapyard. Rubbish piled up everywhere, bin in bathroom hadn't been emptied in weeks. I'm not a princess by any stretch of the imagination, I spend many a weekend sleeping in the back of a van at the bike racing with little more than a hedge for a loo and baby wipes to wash with. This place really does take the ****. Avoid like the plague or be ready to walk away on arrival. I just wish I had as the longer you're there the more dirt you see. The place is filthy and looks nothing like the advert. I will be posting my pics on tiktok later using the hash tags #connemara #Ireland #hostel #avoidliketheplague
