Fantastic

This was my first ever hostel stay and it exceeded my expectations. Friendly staff, great location. Facilities were more than suitable. We could tell as soon as we got there is would be a nice stay. The Sega console was a bonus !

Only two local pubs both called the goat. One was fully booked. The other was a proper locals pub, that wasn’t the most accommodating

Perfect hostel stay.

Clean, comfortable, well equipped hostel in nice location. Lovely staff/owner. Field with sheep and alpacas that we were able to feed! Amazing value for money. Can’t recommend enough.

Nothing - all great.

Exceptional

The staff were great . We stayed in a private room(4 of us) , it was an ensuite and had 4 DOUBLE BUNK BEDS 😳. Who knew that was a thing. The beds were extremely comfortable due to the mattress toppers . As for the rest , kitchen was well equipped and the lounge area was spacious, clean and comfortable.

Perfect place for both adventure and solitude seekers alike at a stone's throw from Mount Snowdon

Perfect Prime Location for people planning to either go and explore Snowdonia or much like me have a quiet time in working in a peaceful place whilst sorting personal stuff out

Nothing in particular - everything either met expectations or exceeded them

Fun Stay!

Bunk beds doubles for the fam, clean and v comfy - nice terrace with view. Kids loved feeding the animals - really nice touch. Communal areas super clean, well resourced and spacious. Shops (and vineyards with lovely cream tea) v close. We all enjoyed playing pool - lots of 20ps available from owner. Really recommend - we will come back hopefully one day!!

Chairs on the terrace would have been perfect!! One guest had a Lord of the Rings type film on very loud - maybe a volume limiter could be used?

Exceptional

Family run hostel, very clean, has spacious kitchen with everything needed to make simple meals, plenty of tables/chairs in the dining area and also has a room to relax. We arrived on bikes and could keep them in the storage overnight. This place is very close to national cycle route no 8 - 10/18 miles (depends on the leg chosen) from Porthmadog so perfect to have a stop there. And bonus is there are alpacas and sheep pets the (behind the gates) which can be fed and they definitely like it.

Amazing place!

It was my first experience with hostel type property and I couldn't imagine better experience. It's just few simple rules to follow (for example clean after yourself in share space) and everyone will be happy. The room was amazing, bed was huge (!double bunk bed!) comfy and we even had a balcony with an amazing view. Everything was clean and smelled nice. The staff are very knowledgeable about the area they are always happy to help. i will definitely come back.

Great location, clean, well organised, friendly place!

This was our second stay at Base Camp Wales and we will definitely be back again. We always meet great people there, lots of other families, the kitchen is clean and well-equipped with a good system for storing your food, and the kids loved feeding the sheep, chickens and alpacas. The location is brilliant, great for getting to Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula. Tim and Tom are excellent hosts and we will be booking again for next year!

Nothing to complain about!

Perfect base for snowden hike

It was great, loved the space, the beds in the room were huge, we all had a double bed each. The kitchen and lounge were spacious and had everything you needed. Easy to find and good parking. Will definitely be back and recommend to friends!

The early check out! We had to be out by 10 and could have stayed in those beds just a couple of hours longer.

welcoming, clean and comfortable.

Accommodation is immaculate and the bunk beds are comfortable. Staff are helpful and take time to offer you advice on nearby places to visit. On the two different occasions I have visited guests have been considerate of others and keep kitchen spotless. Really good value for money. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else and will continue to recommend.

Very good

Lovely staff, great location, great price. Good for single travellers. Large single room, shared kitchen. Great for on a budget, and very near Snowden. If you don't fancy camping but don't want to spend a fortune on a hotel, then I would definitely recommend Basecamp Wales as an alternative.

Room was a tad cold

Regret staying for 2 nights. Should have stayed for at least 3.

Loved the location. Loved the staff. Loved the room. Loved the view from the room. Loved waking up to grazing Marie Mcooo's outside our window. Loved the private bathroom for the price. Loved the spacious parking lot.

Mattresses could have been better.

A great base for our short break :-)

There were two brother that ran basecamp, they gave us a tour when we arrived and they have a dog. It was a really good place to stay. The pool table was really good and cheap. (Tom, Age 15)
