House Rules

To ensure a comfortable stay, guests are required to conduct themselves in a responsible manner within the Hostel and must not act in any way that disturbs other guests. Failure to do so could result in the termination of a guest’s stay without refund.

Quiet hours are 10pm-7am. Please be mindful of other guests sleeping during this time and keep noise to an absolute minimum.

There is no smoking, vaping, or use of illegal drugs permitted anywhere on the property.

Drinking alcohol is restricted to the lobby, kitchen, patio and private rooms up until 10pm. There is no drinking or food permitted in the shared dormitories whatsoever.

The Dancing Bear Inn retains the right to refuse accommodation to anyone at any time. If a guest or staff member feels unsafe due to the conduct of another guest then the staff have the right to refuse service and are encouraged to call the police.
