YHA Ngong Ping SG Davis Youth Hostel (Lantau Island)

不是第一次住這個hostel 總體來説如果你hiking或者要camping 都是不錯的選擇 就是我收工來東涌太晚了 所以有條小路進去特別害怕 有廢棄的房子 還有烏鴉🐦⬛和蝙蝠🦇叫 我都是跑的 哈哈哈哈 所以建議和朋友一起出行才好 下次還會來玩哦

Depends on your purpose for visiting this area, you may or may not find this hostel convenient. I chose this hostel solely because I planned to check out Tai O and do an early morning hike up Lantau Peak. There’s actually not much in the area except the Giant Buddha, the beautiful monastery, and the Wisdom Path if you choose to include it. This is the only hotel/hostel in the area. There’s no supermarket or convenience store nearby, so I highly suggest bringing plenty of food and drinks before arriving. You might also want to bring your own slippers! The hostel has a water purifier, hot and cold showers, a microwave, fridge, a spacious kitchen, and other essentials. I didn’t cook during my stay—I bought food from Tai O instead. Nonetheless, it was super convenient for me since I like to go slow and enjoy things at my own pace. Note that a membership fee of 150 HKD is required, and there’s also a refundable deposit of 500 HKD, unless you damage something on the property. Karen and Mark were super nice—I had a great chat with both of them!

1）訂房價格界面沒有明示要是YHA會員，非會員要入會費150，衹能帶3個人入住。 2）小孩政策沒説5歲以上沒有加床也要加收150。 3）5歲以上小孩還算人頭，算上9歲小孩剛好是5個人 還需要多收一個會員費。結果一個家庭房多收了150+150+70（小孩會員費70）共多了370!!! 3） 房間衞生間淋浴間 衞生是不能想像的差。非常髒併發黴。可能過了一個冬天 沒有客人就沒有清潔。 唯一可以稱讚的是前台服務員態度很好服務很好。可惜居住條件太差。本來想着衹要地方乾淨就可以，也沒什麼要求。確實是有點被嚇到了！

Für eine Jugendherberge sehr gut. Das beste ist die Lage in den Bergen, was späte bzw. Frühe Touren ermöglicht, da man schon vor Ort ist. Ausstattung ist auch top und für alle Möglichkeiten der Essenszubereitung eingerichtet. Leider waren bei uns viele Kinder zu Gast, was den Lärmpegel stark erhöhte und die Anlage eher hellhörig ist...aber damit muss man ja bei einer Jugendherberge rechnen.

Tung Chung - 2 nights - private double room Expectation/Reality: this is the only provider of accommodation in the area so expectations need to be managed. They have the ability to essentially set terms, so the negative reviews here are likely from the folks who didn’t read the find print. The photos match the space very well. However the hostel reached out over what’s app a number of days before the booking asking for the $150 membership fee and $500 deposit, which I was not comfortable providing until arrival, however the hostel was okay with that. Security: very good, there is a gate lock and a lock to the door, very safe. Hygiene: overall very clean, no concerns. Hospitality: the check in and out process is all over what’s app, so you are at the mercy of how responsive they are which can be frustration when trying to get in. Once you are in, it’s fine. Social Atmosphere: good social spaces. Overall: given they essentially have a monopoly on accommodation in the area. It’s a pretty good spot. I accidentally broke the key and they came and fixed it the next day, but took off $50 from the deposit. So handle the keys gently. Over pretty good place.

We had an enjoyable stay. Great location for hiking and sightseeing, very peaceful setting, lovely views of Lantau Peak and close to the Big Buddha, the chairlift and good bus connections to all over Lantau Island. The buildings have seen better days, as you expect at a youth hostel, but the showers are hot and effective, the kitchen and BBQ facilities are good and the bed is comfortable. The manager is very personable and friendly and it was nice to meet his family. There are few shops to buy ordinary supplies in Ngong Ping, except a very basic 7/11, so you need to stock up before arriving or be prepared to eat at the expensive tourist outlets in the 'village' or at Po Lin monastery. Tourist facilities shut down by 5-6pm.
