    It could be a good idea to put a stand/mirror to do the make up or hair so that we won't blcok the wc or shower for that.

    Everything about this hostel is just good. Lovely staff (much loves to Vladimir 🫶), clean, big enough social area.

    It was all great. My suggestions would be fobs for private room rather than a single key would give more flexibility for two people staying in the room. Bigger bins in the bathroom as they sometimes overflowed, although the size is standard across the Balkans.

    Lovely owner and team with great local knowledge to share. Their cleaning routine is next level and greatly appreciated. Beds are comfy with thick curtains and air con works well. I stayed in female dorm with ensuite, 6 bed mixed dorm and private room and all were comfortable. There’s a common area inside and outside to meet people and proper coffee available in the morning. They also facilitate a sunset boat tour and wine tasting every couple of days. Location in the old town is fantastic. Lake is 5min away and the best beach Labino a scenic 20min walk. Bus to the east side of the lake is 5min walk and the team can recommend the best beaches. Supermarket, ATM with no fees, and cafes within a few minutes. Make sure to dine at Plate Bistro. For those arriving by coach it’s 10min walk from Classic Bus Company, or 30min walk from main bus station (beware taxis overcharge). Ohrid is stunning and the hostel was so great I kept extending my stay and ended up there 9 nights.

    Nothing - probably one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in.

    AMAZING! a really incredible hostel with a great vibe, good price and friendly staff that take time to get to know you during your stay. If you’re coming to Ohrid (which you should do) please stay here.

    Just nitpicking... The ladder to the upper bunk bed gets a bit of time to get used to. As well as the gap there is between the bed and the wall. Just needs some time to get used to so you don't drop your things.

    Hostel has everything you need. Good location, excellent staff and good facilities. The social area facilitates interaction between travelers.

    Honestly nothing, this is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in.

    Super clean, great location, comfy beds (especially the pillows!) and the BEST staff/ ownership. Natasha, Vlad, and Alex all so kind and go above and beyond with everything. So much local knowledge too.

    The owner and the staff are very friendly, and everything is spotlessly clean! The common area is very cozy and gives you a great opportunity to easily meet other people. I’ve already recommended this hostel to a few people, and they’ve been there too — they were also very satisfied!

    Everything was so memorable and perfect

    One of my favourite hostels. Natasha, who runs the hostel is so warm, intelligent, helpful and a gorgeous person. She also provides excellent coffee. The hostel is so clean and comfortable with air con, bunks with their own curtain, charger and light. Well located, an easy walk to everything. A special place to socialise in the evening.

    This is a charming, friendly hostel with wonderful staff. There is a large kitchen and common room and there is also a covered outside area which is perfect for socialising with a few beers. The location is ideal for exploring the main part of the town and the waterfront, where there are many excellent bars and restaurants. The bus station is some 20 to 30 minutes walk away, but it is an easy route.

    I just have 2 advices: first i think the reception could be in the dining room ,this could make the other travellers interact more with each other. Second i guess there should be a rule for the Air C remote, during summer to not be less than 25⁰, becouse this can couse discomfort to some guests if everyone use the control as they wish. Can be cold and people can get sick.

    What an amazing place! I think this is the best hostel in Ohrid. The place is runed by an amazing host as Natasha. As soon as you see her , you understand she loves and cares a lot for this place. But more than that i guess she knows how to run a hostel. With verry clean facilities ,very clean rooms, amazing view of the Ohrid lake from the window of the room ,the hostel is basically in the city center,these and much other details makes this place the best option for Ohrid. Air C. is working ,the toilets are clean ,the beds are comfortable and solid with courtains which brings some privacy. Natasha gave me any kind of information i needed. So thank you!
