as a young female traveller i would not recommend this place due to the environment perpetuated here. while i was very fortunate with the roommates in my mixed dorm, the encounters myself and my friends have had outside of my room have not been as positive. specifically on our last night here, myself and 3 other young female travellers (~20 years old) were playing a lighthearted game in the common kitchen area. while we may have raised our voices for around 20 seconds on a friday night, we did not expect to be whistled at by another person stating at this residence. not only did we find this disrespectful, but also just plain dehumanising and derogatory being whistled at by an older man to essentially “shut up” with simply no other words spoken to us like a normal person with communication skills would do. following this whistle that you would do to a dog, we heard laughter erupt in the room. there were at least 3 staff members we could spot in this room and none of them spoke to us or the dog whistler. frankly, the environment we experienced here is not one that we as young female travellers felt comfortable. to be laughing at young women on a friday night playing a game is nit what we would have done if we were in the same situation and was surprised that not one single person or a staff member felt that this dog whistler was doing something wrong. to have written on your page that you aim to have travellers feel at ease when not one single staff member decided to intervene is perpetuating a certain environment.
