This place has a homey vibe I enjoy. The other guests are nice, the cats and chickens are fun to wake up to. Not perfect, but they are actively improving this hostel, but great prices if you are traveling on a budget.

Hen and Kitty house

Best staff included two cats and over eight chickens. They decorated the entry and greeted right away. You wouldn’t recognize them at night. Don’t forget to bring them brand new and sealed food.

I made a reservation for May 4 for one night and when I arrived, they told me the room was not available and I could not stay there. I need a credit for this reservation. Please advise.

This is an extremely basic accommodation. Be prepared for cats, chickens, and "interesting" folks you share the space with. Travel light and keep your stuff with you. Slept with my stuff in my bunk with me. I would do it again though, just be aware before you go what to expect.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great value! I got my own room and the basics. I was able to get in despite arriving later than planned thanks to a helpful on site manager. It's about 25 minutes from Indian Wells if you're considering it for the tennis tournament. Bathrooms are shared but clean and I was happy with the overall experience. Recommend earplugs if you're a light sleeper (I had a snorer next door and the private rooms are not noise proof due to incomplete walls).

Objective Feedback: Volunteers were great in helping with check-in, but only saw a staff member one time as they were knocking on the door and telling me to leave by 9am (this was at 8.30am). There is hand written signage everywhere with conflicting information about rates, check out times, etc. The room is a makeshift space with walls that do not reach the ceiling. The bed felt much like sleeping on a floor, I'm in considerable pain the morning after and I couldn't do it again. There were several minivans full of items parked on the property. On the plus side, the room does have a lock and the bathroom had hot water. There are very sweet kitties and chickens with great personalities. The premises felt secure and my car was not bothered during the night. Note: roosters start sounding off very early in the am.

Area was dark. Nobody answered the door. It was just a private home and very dingy. Very scary feeling. I want my money back.

I would have brought food for the pets.

I really enjoyed the wild hosts. They really come alive at night. I met up with the cat right before leaving and you’d barely recognize it since it looks like skin and bones during the day. At night, it resembles a fat cat without loose skin or rolls. Wish I would have known that there were going to be chickens around. I would have brought food. You also need change for the laundry machines. The place was nice and cozy. I kept to myself. It was in good condition when I arrived. I would have used new mops or t shirts in each room for mopping.

Not what I was expecting

Room was not what was expected. It was an internal room with no windows. bed was 2 single bed frames with a piece of wood on top and an extremely thin mattress on top. The only furniture in the room was a plastic chair with a small light on it. The door had gaps above and below it. Bathrooms looked clean but i chose not to stay and went elsewhere. Staff member was very unsure of which room i was in and wrote front door and room lock codes on a scrap of paper and gave it to me.
