Not able to accommodate an unexpected change of plans which was understandable, however, the hosts then became very rude and was persistently rude the following morning when it was my husband's birthday. This was not the start to the day I hoped for.

It is a warm place to relax after a day on the snow. We liked the common areas with the fireplace and the billiard and the views from the upstairs terrace.
Our room was good and the beds very comfy. That's all what you need after a long day on the mountains.

Very disappointed
Couldn’t come because of lockdown. No refund offered - not even partial refund. Perisher and Airbnb gave us full refunds but not these guys. They offered me one night stay in 84 days time which is of no use to me...very disappointed considering it is $368 for one night. 6*prices !

Friendly staff, very good breakfast. Clean. Property overall is a bit tired and run down. You have to wait a very long time for hot water in the shower.

The Chalet Jindabyne is run by a lovely lady who was very friendly.
We stayed on a couple of very hot days and with the chalet being more geared towards winter tourism, it was uncomfortably hot and stuffy in the rooms without aircon, the pedestal fan didn't really cut it when it comes to cooling things down.
The whole place could use a bit of a facelift and is very worn and run down but it seemed mostly clean.
One thing that isn't mentioned on Expedia is that it is forbidden to eat in your room. I've never seen a rule like that and wasn't really impressed because I could barely walk after hiking all day and didn't want to go out and sit in a common area to eat.
The supplied breakfast was good and lifted my score from being 2 stars to 3.
It kind of feels like you're paying for a motel but getting a hostel. I probably would look elsewhere next time.

Great value for money. It's not the Hilton, but it was great for somewhere to sleep, shower and stow the baggage while we were either skiing or at the pub having dinner. Pom is a great host and made us feel very welcome. Great for a laugh too! I'll be back!

- Handy location in Jindabyne. 10 min walk to restaurants.
- Warm, clean rooms
- Breakfast was a little lacklustre. For the price, some hot breakfast options would have been welcome.

Found the pool location and price very agreeable. Would have preferred a hot brekky, but at that price we didn't expect it. Overall we really got more than we paid for.

Great Ski Accommodation
We can recommend Chalet Jindabyne as very good value for money and a great place to stay in Jindabyne.
Chalet Jindabyne is like an old-fashioned ski lodge on the mountain: small but warm and comfortable rooms (we had to share a bathroom), maybe not the most modern, but terrific owner and staff, a great breakfast included and we had a great time playing pool and sitting in one of the guest lounges reading at night and then watching the World Cup Final replay early the next morning!
The owner was rude and terrible accusing us of over crowding when we clarified our friends are just there to pick us up. There was no parking when we arrived and he did not care making us leave earlier than what we booked for!
Do not book here!
The room was smelly as crap and the owner was rude as crap too!!!
