I booked a bit late in the evening so when I arrived, I have to wait outside the locked gate for more than an hour, in the dark and rainy evening, but was glad that the personnel there heard me or else I might've slept outside.The personnel was good, the facilities were a bit good too, but the area was wow. It's a good place to be close to nature.

Bad experience
We reached the property late due to visa formalities but they don’t allow check in although we spent taxi charges more than the hotel charge , moreover it was showing that it is only 7 km from airport but in fact it was 30 km away. Very inconvenient

Happy stay
We had 3 days to spend in HK - this was the perfect place to stay to see Tai O village and Big Buddha without too much travel time. We stayed in a double room which was comfortable enough, the bathroom was not exactly clean but that isn't really why you'd stay here, and we made do for 1 night. The location is fantastic and the staff are very friendly, bare in mind that there are no shops nearby after 6pm so only basic provisions are available from the reception (instant noodles, soft drinks).

The hostel is about a 10 minute walk from any other buildings, which means it’s in a quiet location but a bit inconvenient if you want to grab something quick to eat, and maybe not the best place for women to be walking to and from after dark if alone. The rooms were clean enough but there were a few bugs, but that’s to be expected as it’s in a sub tropical environment. The toilets and showers were fairly disgusting, the toilet paper was always wet and guests couldn’t seem to not foul the seats. It’s fine for a quick overnight stay but I wouldn’t stay for more than one night.

In the midst of nature
We kept in mind that this was a hostel so we didn't have very high expectations. That being said, though, we wish the rooms and facilities are cleaner, given the high price of our room (it cost as much as our room in a 4-star hotel in HK). The shared toilets and showers are in dire need of a good scrubbing, and our room was not even swept - there were trash lying all around the floor when we arrived. We tried to ignore these, however, because we love the location. It is located high up in the mountains, in the shadow of Lantau Peak. The weather was nice and cold, there are several hiking trails nearby, and Lantau Peak is just 1.5 kms from the starting point of the trail beside the hostel. The hostel also has a big dining area and a well-equipped kitchen, plus several barbecue pits.

Nice quiet location
Campground -like facilities so good for big groups (group of 20 primary school children there whilst I was). Quiet location-based shops etc shut overnight. Great for seeing Buddha and monastery before the crowds, or for pre /post lantau peak hike. Sunset from about 1km up lantau peak hike is beautiful. (as a moderately fit person, I did sunset peak and then lantau peak which took me approx 3 hrs and 2.5hrs respectively)

Good location, but junky and dirty.
The best thing about this Hostel is its location!!! You can walk to the Gran Buda, the hiking trails and the restaurants and shops! No other hotel is as close. The challenge is that the Hotels.com description did not clarify that you need to bring your own towels. They have towels for sale. The bed linens were minimal. We stayed in a private queen bed room and they gave us a fitted queen sheet and a single (individual) top sheet! The AC worked OK. The website stated that housekeeping was minimal. We stayed two nights and did not expect our room cleaned. However, we did expect the trash cans in the common kitchen and bathrooms were emptied. By the end of the first day, trash was spilling out of all trash cans. We reported it to the office, BUT when we left, trash had not cleaned for two days! The tables in the dinning room are not cleaned daily so if you want to use a table, you need to clean it first. This Hostel has the potential to be a great place because of its location and facilities. It just needs some good regular cleanning and hauling off all the old junk spread everywhere: indoors and outdoors!

Nice youth hostel, quiet and secluded.
I arrived at Hong Kong Airport in the evening. Typical noise and crowded with people. I hired a blue taxi and rode up the mountain to the youth hostel. It was quiet and peaceful. The area is wooded and well marked. I checked in and applied for my youth hostel association card. I was given a quick tour of the facility and shown to my room. I use the kitchen and dining room and walked around the grounds and spoke with several of the other guests. Very nice and I felt comfortable with the surroundings.

Great hostel, great staff, great value
I love the remoteness of this hostel. Perfectly placed to visit the Big Buddha, the wisdom path or to hike to Lantau peak. Staff are first class, super friendly and helpful. Facilities are basic and it can get cold if the sun disappears (which it did for a few days while I was there). Highly recommend.

Great value for money and location
Typical YHA experience with basic dorms and facilities but exceptional value for money, particularly for Hong Kong. Staff are great, helpful, friendly and flexible. Location is in a remote spot on Lantau island, which is tricky to get to at night unless you take a taxi from Tung Chung (take a blue taxi which will cost you 180 HKD). A 10 min walk from the Big Buddha and monastery and plenty of hiking on in the area. The dorm corridor can get a bit noisy at night because it echoes, so take ear plugs (standard issue for hostel beds!). All in all a good stay in a great location. Would recommend

They Overbooked
I was not actually able to stay at this location. I had my reservation, but a few hours before my arrival, I got a note through hotels.com that they are unable to accommodate me because they overbooked. They offered for me sleep in a tent on their location. I thought that was strange, but upon asking for a refund, I was never contacted again.

會再次入住
這次是第一次入住YHA昂坪戴維斯，雙人房空間稍為細了些少，其餘浴室、廁所、廚房及飯廳尚算整潔，廚具齊全，有冷熱水機，四週環境吾錯；唯一缺點是要付款做會員(忘記了是$100折抑或是$150)，而期限只是一年！

風景優美、還能BBQ
在昂坪上住一晚蠻舒服的，還能避開人潮，隔天一早去山上走走，風景非常美麗！ 這次住的是雙人房，床是King Size，空間也還蠻舒服，就是隔音真的蠻差的。 看到房間內有冷氣、風扇和Heater，也算是挺齊全的~ 要上樓的樓梯間擺了一個大梯子，很危險，拿著行李也很難經過，希望能快點改善這點。 建議在東涌買一些食物，晚上BBQ或隔天當早餐！ 跟爸媽坐在廊上聊天看風景，戶外大木桌吃著早餐 真的很舒服~ 覺得下次可以多住幾天！

Hostel en la Isla Lantau, HK, ideal para senderear
El hostel es realmente bueno, está muy cerca del Gran Buda en la isla Lantau de HK, en medio de una reserva natural que tiene muchos senderos por recorrer. La vegetación y la fauna del lugar es extraordinaria. Las instalaciones son muy buenas, sábanas y baños limpios, aire acondicionado, cocina equipada. Tienes casas de campañas en el patio como habitaciones. Puedes tomarte un café y escuchar la lluvia caer. El staff bastante amable y servicial.

Best service I've had in any hostel I've stayed so far. The reception boy was very welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful regarding things to do in the surrounding areas. Great facilities, kitchen facilities in particular. Near many cool things to do like hikes and the bus station to surrounding towns.

自然を身近に感じたい人のためのホステル
田舎のユースホステルに、キャンプ場がくっついているという認識のもとで予約すると良い。必要最低限のファシリティのみ準備されている。食事面は簡素なもの（日本のインスタントヌードルおよびシリアル）しか選択肢がないため、香港島から来る場合は食材を携行して、キッチンで自炊するという手もある。ホステル周辺を夜や早朝に散策してみよう。亜熱帯特有の生き物や鳥類の息遣いをかなり身近に感じられるだろう。テント内にはエアーベッドが備えられている。広さは十二分にあるものの、熟眠を優先するなら避けるが吉。
