Guest reviews for Baracca Backpacker
"It's a very peacefull and beautiful place. I really enjoyed my stay. The room was confortable, the kitchen had everything I needed to make breakfast and cook dinner. Everything was super clean. There's a lot of information available about all the things that can be done closeby."

"Das Hostel Baracca Backpacker ist ein wunderbarer Ort im Maggiatal! Es ist ein typisches Hostel mit seinen Mehrbettzimmern, Gemeinschaftsküche und Gemeinschaftsbad - und ist doch so viel mehr! Eine kleine Unterkunft mit ca. 15 Betten am Rande des Dorfes Aurigeno, mit wunderschönem Garten, den man nutzen darf, viel Ruhe, alles gepflegt und sehr sauber. Das besondere: die freundliche, warmherzige Atmosphäre, die durch die Betreiber Monika und Reto ausgestrahlt wird. Monika ist für alle Fragen offen und sehr hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank dafür an euch beide! Wer mit Einfachheit und Entschleunigung umgehen kann, ist hier genau richtig."
"Keine Kritik, nur Hinweise für diejenigen, die sich mit der Einfachheit dieses Hostels doch etwas schwer tun könnten: Es gibt ein kleines gemütliches Sofa, Aufenthaltsraum wäre ansonsten die Küche. Das Leben im Hostel Baracca Backpacker spielt sich überwiegend draußen ab. Die Zimmer sind für alle zugänglich, auch Monika kommt mal rein, zum Blumen gießen. Das Bad ist schlicht. Und wie das in einem Dorf so ist, die Kirchenglocke auf der anderen Straßenseite teilt die Zeit lautstark mit! Zum Bus sind es 20min zu Fuß, bis dahin hat man aber schon viel gesehen."
"Alles! Wunderschõnes Weekend an diesem friedlichen Ort voller Natur u Freude😃 Super Gastgeber Alles sehr sauber Gute u wunderschõne Lage"

"Sehr schöner Garten und damit verbundene Aufenthaltsmöglichkeiten; sehr nette Vermieter; toller Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen bzw. Fahrradtouren."
"Es lässt sich zwar nicht ändern, aber die Kirchenglocken sind schon sehr laut."
"La signora all’accoglienza super cordiale e disponibile. Punto super strategico. La campana della chiesa di fronte ti permette di non controllare l’orologio perché ogni mezz’ora scocca. Sembra di vivere un sogno meraviglioso. Cascate bellissime a 6 minuti di macchina. Spiaggia vista fiume a 2 minuti. Tutto stupendo, davvero bellissimo per un weekend di svago immersi nella natura. Bagno sempre pulitissimo! Cucina comune sempre in ordine. Davvero non ho nulla da lamentare. Solo un po’ il costo ma essendo in Svizzera è anche un prezzo ottimo. Ps fate spesa lì vicino e mangiate in ostello se non volete spendere 60€ per un tagliere ahahahh."

"Very clean, location was very convenient, self check-in was super easy."
"I liked the property interms of contacless check-in, very good location, clean room, silent and safety place. Communication with the host was very fast."
"I loved this hotel because it was clean and comfortable, which was perfect after a long flight from the USA. My son and I stayed in the 5th floor and had a beautiful balcony. The room had lots of big windows which we could open for fresh air. We had a great breakfast too start the day, which was included in the price of our room. It was walkable from the main train station and close by a lot of attractions."

"excellent breakfast buffet for CHF25, which is cheap for Zurich. good selection of hot and cold items. You can even make your own waffles and order eggs they way you like them with the exception of no poached eggs available :( They have a hand operated Prosciutto slicing machine which is safe to use and you can have as much as you like. High quality prosciutto too! The smoked salmon deserves a mention to as it was of the highest quality and unexpectedly fantastic for a breakfast buffet in a 3/4 star hotel. Easy ride by tram into the city center with a stop right outside the hotel. we had dinner in their Italian restaurant one night and it was also excellent and not overpriced. They also had a complimentary electric Volvo that guest could book for the day for free, which was an excellent little promotion for Volvo and the hotel."
