I thought the food was fantastic and the Chef really new what he was doing, the vegan option was even better. They have locally grown produce, which is organic. Check it out!

Nothing like the pictures that are shown! The only nice place on the "resort" is the spa and cafe.

Our tent cabin had only a sheet, so travel with sleeping bags because it gets below freezing. The entire tent cabin was covered in mildew. Towels have to be rented, linens are not cleaned.

Worst 2 parts of this "resort": absolutely snotty staff! Had to hike up a few hills to get to the bathroom and showers. Pretty disgusting showers and bathrooms, except at the spa. (Spa is $10 per day per person)

Cafe ran out of just about everything, we were there for 4 days and ended up just leaving and driving the few miles to town for every meal. They leave the 5 meal choices on the board, but then tell you they only have 1 of them.

I thought my neighbors were noisy, but it is just the way the wood is laid out. It amplifies your walk so it sounds like you are stomping. Food. It was good, but dinner took a long time to order and get. Breakfast was worse. I waited in line for 15 minutes, then waited an hour and 15 minutes to get my food. Finally, I simply asked for a refund. We had ordered lunches to go at the same time we ordered breakfast. Lunch wasn't ready either! I had to have a lunch, especially since I was going without breakfast. It took them another 20 minutes to put two sandwiches together. I don't recommend this place. Customer service is horrible. The cook was yelling at the staff and the staff looked like they just hit the bong.

The first night, other guests were stomping around in the bathroom (right next to my bed on the other side of the wall) until after 1am and talking loudly. The temp in the womens dorm had to be 90 degrees and we were all roasting to death with windows open in January. I moved all sheets and pillow to the other room, to the only remaining available bed, and on that bed the mattress was so broken down, there was very little between me and the wood platform underneath. No sleep that night as I basically was trying to sleep on wood. I asked for an upgrade the next morning, and they moved me to another room, with (coed) public type toilets/showers with cement floor, that was outside and downstairs. Hope you don't have to go in the middle of the night. The "upgrade" building had more than a few rooms, with one central thermostat in the hall, set at 67 degrees. Considering that I was completely frozen the whole night, and it was more like 50 in my room, I got no sleep that night either. I tried sleeping on the top bunk thinking it would be warmer air towards the ceiling, but when I got up there, right under the vent, which was above the bed, I realized the "heating" vent was just blowing air, not hot air, just air, and there was only two feet between the upper bed and the ceiling. It was pretty claustrophobic, and just as cold. I then started getting sick the day after leaving, from having a diminished immune system from no sleep, exposure to some of the other guests in the first room who were also sick but didn't bother to tell anyone, and probably from freezing all night the second night, even with thermal underwear, pajamas, two pair of socks and hat on, under three (thin) blankets, that are more like horse blankets than human blankets. At $20 a night, you get what you pay for. Stay in the dorms only as a last resort, spend the $$ and rent a private room or a cabin is my review. The staff, facility and location is great, and the restaurant and lounge was really nice also, but I couldn't exactly sleep there, or I would have. Sleep isn't an option, its a biological imperative.

The staff were lovely and friendly at the Yosemite Bug but one big problem - lapse of security regarding credit card details! Ask them to make sure they do not have a print out of your booking which includes all your credit card details on their scrap-pad! We are all for saving the planet and recycling paper but the recycled paper they use on their scrap-pad contained someone else's booking details, their address in the UK, full credit card number, expiry date and also the 3-digit security pin number! Not good!

My wife and I were there and it was brilliant! We got a great room and the food was delicious! We ended up spending alot of time there walking and checking out the area- beautiful. There's a swimming hole in the river nearby that is like a dream come true- it takes a bit of work to find, but it's worth it. Everyone was super freindly and helpful, and we had a great time.

Can't wait till they finish working on the spa!

Getting there was great! The room was beautiful, and our lunch was fab.

Then we went out to Mariposa to get cash out of an ATM because they didn't have one in the same town. We were gone for less than 30 minutes. We came back, went into our room, and some of our personal belongings were gone. We knew it was a particular staff member because she just so happened to be around the area performing "housekeeping" even though our room was cleaned before we even arrived. I also am neurotic about checking everything so we made sure that we locked the door, etc before we left. So, it had to be someone on staff.

My husband complained to the manager. She said she would look into it and asked the girl. The girl denied everything. In the end our belongings were not recovered and we left.

Six months of vacation planning gone down the drain!

This is the sort of place that made Holiday Inn and Howard Johnson into successful chains. It's just a bit too "iffy" to want to stay at different place every night in every new town. This place is not bad, but it does take some patience and some getting used to. If everything goes well, all will be well. However, there is no back-up plan at the Bug if something goes wrong. You'll hear, "Oh, too bad." and that's about it.

We had a good time here, but we paid careful attention to all the reviews we read about the place before we went. The location is not great, but if you don't mind the daily 30 to 40 minute drive to/from the park entrance, it's OK. The room we had was private, with its own bath. No complaints at all about that; but be aware that each room's decor, etc. seems to depend on what they had on hand the day they got done building the room.

The food was plentiful, if variable in quality. There were days when it was great. Other days it was just good. Since you can see the cooks, and their moods when you order at the register, you soon figure out how the food it going to be that day. That said, it's better food than you're going to get most places, most the time. You'll not go to bed starving at the Bug.

The people were all nice folks. If you show up and your room is ready, I think you can count on settling down to a reasonable place to spend some time. The young guys at the front desk, such as it is, are just young guys. There isn't much that they can do about anything, but they mean no harm when they come across as undiplomatic. It's OJT for just about everyone who works there. Take note of the hiring offers outside the cafe; since they will hire just about anyone, you'll wind up dealing with just about anyone. But, while a bit "off," they all seem well intended and will help where they can.

The youth hostel crowd was in the majority while we were there but they were all polite, generally quiet, and busy with their own business and not looking to bust yours. We met some kind people who were also staying there and it seems a bit of give and take it all you really need to settle in and enjoy the place.

Good luck!
