There have been serious issues with poor treatment and harrassment of non-French guests. As an example, when our reviewers stayed at this hostel the manager of the hostel demanded a bribe before he would return our passports. While he held the passports he lectured us about how we needed to be "taught a lesson" and "eat humble pie" for thinking we were better than the French because we came from a "rich" country that doesn't speak French (or some such nonsense). There are plenty of friendly, welcoming people in France, just not at this hostel.
Response from the Hostel:
March 2005
Bonjour,
Depuis Février 2005, l'association CLAJ Jeunesse Camping met en place un nouveau fonctionnement et une nouvelle épuipe au Relais International de la Jeunesse . Nous sommes surpris des avis et commentaires faits sur notre maison. Si dans le passé une altercation entre un correpondant de votre guide et un membre de notre équipe a été houleuse, nous en sommes désolés.
Espérant à nouveau votre visite et vous accueillir au Relais International de la Jeunesse de Clairvallon, recevez nos salutations asociatives.
L'équipe de Clairvallon.
