I booked my hostel stay through Hostels.com, however they did not forward my reservation to you. I would recommend that you stop using Hostels.com as a forwarding agency because they charged me a processing fee while they did not do a single thing for me. I will not be using their services ever again.

Balaton is certainly worth seeing! However, if you have other place to go than Szantod, please do it. Most of the nature around is private, we didn't manage to find a place to go into the forest. there are just two free access beaches with loads of people - the rest of the lake shore is private!! If you decide to come to Szantod anyway - make sure you go to the tourist information first (opposite to the hostel). Getting to the hostel is not as easy as it seems for a person who has never been there and doesn't speak Hungarian or German. we were lucky that some older guy gave us a lift from the train station. The hostel itself is not bad but certainly remembers the Hungary's previous regime. good advice - for the hostel pay in the currency you paid booking at the Hostelworld - if you want to pay in HUF they will offer you an absoulutely not good exchange rate. Don't hope for the fast internet and you may take with you your own towels as the ones at Hostel Rev forgot how to absorb water long time ago. But the breakfast is very good and you can eat as much as you want :) and all in all the price of teh hostel is affordable :) Directions from the train - take Vajda Janos street until crossroads with Moricz Zsigmond Utca were you turn left (to Moricz Z. street itself). Take a long walk striaght until crossroads with Tihany Utca (Csokonai Ter) were you turn left and the hostel is on your right hand side (very close to the ferry to Tihany). All in all the place is good for a one day chill out :)
Good place to stay for it's price. Staff was very nice. Approx. 3 km from the Szantod railway station and 15 minutes walk to free beach. Only 2 good restaurants nearby. If you're interested in clubs and saturated night-life it's better to stay at Siofok.

There just 2 restaurants and a few shops. No place to party. The beaches are with grass and 15 minutes walk minimum. When you have a car it's no problem. You can travel to the nearest places like SIOFOK. (12 km) The owners are VERY nice. They will help you with every question. So that was not a problem. If you want a place were you can do alot don't book this hostel. It's more a hostel (we think) for familys with childeren...

This is exactly what you would expect from a hotel. It lacks the fun atmosphere of a hostel, but the staff is nice. It's a bit of a walk to the nearest ATM about 3 kilometers. Don't rent a bike through them, unless you truly enjoy riding on flat tires while the locals have a good chuckle. Overall the stay was satisfactory, but beyond that unimpressive. Anyone who just needs a place to stay and will only be there to sleep. Go for it.

The staff at Rev where great and helped us out with all our needs. The rooms where clean and shower pressure was excellent! We traveled just before peak season and many of the restaurants and markets where closed. It is important to note that Rev is not really a hostel and is more of a hotel. There are no dorms (although prices for private doubles with en suites are great) and there is no public kitchen which means you must dine out (very limited options). There is a fridge you can store a small amount of goods or chill a bottle of wine in the reception if you need too. There is also no washing facilities. The location is great if you want a couple of lazy days doing nothing. However there is no where to swim close by and there is no way of getting cash out of a bank machine unless you travel across the lake to the other side by ferry. There is a well stocked supermarket a short bike ride away (the hotel has bike hire at 2 florints per hour). You will need to hire a bike to see more of the area and I suggest you try and do a daily deal on bike hire and internet usage. For a couple of days of doing nothing the location is great. If you are looking for a little more excitement try Siofok (very touristy).

Ex-Hotel, now a hostel, great breakfast. Great price for what you get. Do not expect modern luxury but a friendy staff, wlan and nearby beach and ferry transport make this a great one-hight stay.

Best Hostel In The World. Best we have ever stayed at least from a year and a half of Backpacking.
