Perfect location for the Mountain View. Love the shared kitchen, plenty of kitchen utensils where you can make literally anything out of the kitchen with the tools. It also serves hot soup after 6pm.

It's a small but well contained place for family. Unique and feels like a place in the great outback. Able to view the mountains from the place

Nice atmosphere and also provided veggies soup but we didn't have it. Having shared hot tub, although it is a bit small.

Excellent location. Everything very organized and harmonious with a view of the glacier from the common area. They offer soup every night and breakfast in the morning. In addition, the rooms have a kitchenette.

The price/performance ratio is pretty good. It's a motel, a bit like a youth hostel, and the atmosphere is pretty good. But the soundproofing in the room is really bad, it can be said that there is no soundproofing. Then the roof is made of wood and creaks. . .

A basic room and a small en-suite but I have to say that we had a great stay, it was friendly, welcoming and exceptionally clean. The staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful, add in the laundry room, the fully equipped communal kitchen, the communal sitting area, the outside hot tub and the evening soup dish for anyone who wanted it, who could ask for more. It was amazing.

no need for a hotel or a motel, the glow worm accomodation is the best hostel you will find!! we are a couple in our honeymoon and the private room was perfect for us. the facilities (included a free hot tub) and the morning breakfast and evening soup (with no extra fee was awesome). the crew is the nicest you will find in NZ. super recommended.

The room was of a reasonable size, featuring a double bed and a single bed. Unfortunately, we looked out into the back yard which was unkept and untidy. Although we knew we would have to share bathrooms and a kitchen, sharing only two showers and two toilets with three other rooms was quite awkward. A big drawback for us was the noise level. The rooms are not soundproof, and one can hear all the conversations going on in other parts of the house. Apart from that, Glow Worm Accommodation is not a bad place to stay.

What an amazing hostel! I booked a mixed dorm for myself, my partner, and my cousin who was visiting from the UK. Upon arrival, we had just completed a 5+ hour drive and were extremely tired. The business owner, Benjamin, checked us in, and he did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome. We even arrived in time to enjoy some delicious free vegetable soup, which is served every evening. Additionally, there's a complimentary daily breakfast included, which makes this hostel an incredible value for the money. The dorm rooms are well-decorated and clean, and the communal areas and kitchen are also clean and well-equipped. I cannot recommend this hostel enough – it is truly fantastic. Thank you!

I had an excellent experience at Glow Worm Accommodation in Franz Josef! The room was really cute and provided everything we needed. They even provided free vegetable soup for dinner and breakfast in the morning. My friend and I felt very safe throughout the duration of our stay. I will definitely be coming back the next time I pass through town. Thank you!

Our tour of the west coast of Nz was for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. ❤️🍾 Nothing much booked in advance as we just wanted to go and explore.🔭🗺 Well, I can’t even remember where we got better service, great accommodation and Benjamin was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS.💪🏾🍾🥂 Booked at the last minute, this place had everything we wanted and more. Spa, free popcorn and vegetarian GF soup, and friendly guests.🍿The room had a kitchenette and everything you need to relax. But the crowning glory was when we arrived, i explained to Benjamin how we wanted a HeliHike either Franz or Fox, but everywhere was booked for weeks😢😢😢 He was able to get us booked for the next day🚁☀️ The place was fabulous and Benjamin was absolutely the BEST. ❤️😊🥰 Highly recommended xoxoxo

Beautiful vegetable soup!! Comfy beds and just great all round hospitality. This is a great place with amazing facilities, and with shared cooking an dinner area, it’s a place to mix and mingle with everyone

I had the most amazing time at Glow Worm. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the vibes were amazing and the hostel was great! The hostel was very clean, rooms were very nice, great location and they had a very good free breakfast and soup! The kitchen is big and the dining room and living room is well set up. (There’s a separate tv room as well full of movie options.) Lots of seating options inside and outside! They even have a popcorn maker free to use anytime and a spa till 7pm! There is laundry available at all times and they have an epic music playlist. I stayed in the 4 bed room and it even had its own bathroom and shower in the room, a mini kitchen with a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster. The decor in the room was very cute, bed was comfy and even had a good view of the glacier. Benjamin is an awesome owner that puts a smile on your face. Super easy going and can get along with anyone. He takes the time to get to know everyone and will surprise you when he knows everyones name. He really puts the effort to make everyone feel at home! Even brought his awesome dog Sammy to chill and let me take her out for a walk. Jackie was great, even gave us a tour of glow worms in the forest at night! The whole team was awesome and made my experience very enjoyable! 100% recommend staying at this hostel. I would say this is my favourite hostel in New Zealand!
