Paros Backpackers

I have never felt so uncomfortable! The Check in Guy who appears to be the Owner ( about 50years) , said extremely inappropriate things e.g.: „I want to sting you Like a bee and Taste your honey“ to Young travelling Girls about twenty years old and offered to take them in at his Place when they obviously did Not feel comfortable in the Situation. Room 10 also has the worst bathroom i have ever Seen in and Hostel, whole room Full of mold. But all travellers there are Nice and us Backpackers h...

Great location but everything else was bad. WiFi sucked, shower flooded every time I used it, and the hostel was s00..000 loud basically the whole time. Absolutely the worst hostel I've stayed in. I would not recommend at all, other than the location

La atención fue pésima: el señor muy maleducado y sin recepción hasta las 15 hs. La limpieza un desastre, olor a cloaca y humedad en la habitación, baño deprimente. No respetaron la seña abonada por Hostelworld y nos la volvieron a cobrar; al reclamar nos dijeron que “era así” y se fueron sin dar solución. No volvería a hospedarme.

Konstantin was not good to us. He was never on time in the morning to arrive at his office. And he was forcing us to pay cash even though we were allowed to pay with credit card. Do not recommend

BED BUGS :( The hostel had a great environment, purely because of the travelers that were staying there. The rooftop is a great place to meet people; but the other common area was lack luster. Nadia was great when we met her on the first day, but after that there were very few times any was at the reception desk (even for checkout). The rooms were not clean, the ladder for my top bunk was broken and I left the hostel covered in bed bug bites. The people I met were the only reason I stayed.

Avis très mitigé, chère pour ce que c'est. Cuisine peu conviviale avec pas plus de 3 chaises. Magnifique terrasse près de la piscine mais c'est écrit partout qu'il est interdit d'amener sa propre nourriture puisqu'elle est accolée à un bar. Le pire c'est le réceptionniste qui frappe à la porte et rentre brutalement sans attendre de réponse à n'importe quelle heure, il allume la lumière, parle fort même si on est en train de dormir. Hallucinant comme manque de respect. C'est arriv�...

Do not stay here! I’ve never had such a bad experience with a hostel. I heard a lot of double booking stories while i was here and then it happened to me. I came to my room and was told i had to leave at midnight!! The reception guy offered me to stay at his appartment!? They handled the situation horribly, trying to put the blame on eachother for making the mistake and being mad at me for being mad at them. Keep in mind im a solo female traveller and they didnt care to just kick me out at nig...

We were disappointed with our stay here. The beds were super uncomfy and there was limited safe lockers to keep your valuables in. The staff were never around so we always had to hang around to find someone. The bathrooms were horrible and so outdated. So much mould in the bathroom and the shower curtain kept falling down. Costs more than it should. Paros itself is beautiful, so this was a shame our accommodation was so poor.

Honestly, the hostel organisation is definitely really really bad, the rooms are not good and its too pricy for what you get. If you’re not solo travelling, I would get an airbnb nearby. Besides that, it’s a social place and everyone will meet up at sunset at the rooftop and you meet great people.

Bed bugs! Please be careful! It’s clear that the bed bugs had been there for at least a few weeks as there were fecal spots from the bugs all over each mattress in the dorm (4 bed, mixed). We found bugs as well and took photos of everything. My friend is allergic to bed bugs and broke out in hives so we had to leave to get her medical attention. I emailed them to let them know but haven’t heard back. Also note that check in is in cash, and their reception is far less available than advertise...

The location is great - 10 minute walk along the water from the ferry and it’s one street in. The place was fairly clean; the housekeeper was a sweetheart. A few things that weren’t great - the wifi was terrible. I ended up using 5GB of my own data, which honestly would have just been better to stay at a hotel. Also, you have to go into the bar to get someone for check-in or anything, and it’s a just full of men. This wasn’t a great experience as a solo female traveller.

Todo en cocina todo es viejo, no esta bien equiparada, el piso donde me quede estaba lleno de bolsas y cosas, pero las habitaciones limpias y comodas.

Aceptable hostel.

Super convenient and clean/nice condition

Decent place to stay. A bit of trouble with the rooms at first, but all around, pretty good. Really good location and cheap enough place.

Todo perfecto! Tanto el personal como el ambiente y el resto de huéspedes fue excepcional :) además, super bien ubicado!! el único problema fue el baño… tendrían que reformarlo

I loved this hostel. It’s very different to chain/big city ones. Literally one guy runs it who lives out back. It was very clean, and the cleaner made my bed each morning which was nice!! Rooftop to watch the sunset/drink/smoke. Literally 2 seconds from the beach, and cat visitors all the time!! Really nice social/easygoing vibe even in October. Good food and places to hire ATVS nearby. Would defo stay again!

FYI cash only! Owner was accommodating and flexible with me. For some reason I was placed in a room across from the central building in the hotel, so idk what the main rooms are like, but I felt it was clean and comfortable. Nothing special, but gets the job done. Showers flood but good pressure. Pretty social when I visited. Rooftop has super beautiful view.

Everything was very nice, I met good people on the roof . BUT : when I came in I had to pay cash for my nights. I didn't planned this. The guy at the entrance was ok, but not as friendly as other places I went. I just killed a big big cockroach on my first night , in our room. Eurk. The shower in the room no one would use it. It was disgusting. The rest of the place was ok. They really miss plugs in the room . Only 2 plugs for the 6 beds to plug cellphones

Made some great friends here, had to pay cash and receptionist was hard to find at times. I honestly prefer a bunk that I’m able to sit up in and these are old school styles. Very close to the water though and quiet neighborhood was nice!

Good location, 10 min walk from the port and Parikia center. The hostel has a pool, but facilities are a bit old. Room has balcony, fridge, and private bathroom (not pretty but functional). Kitchen is basic with only stove, kettle, and one table, needs improvement. Rooftop is just chairs on a roof but with a nice city view. For the price, it’s a comfortable stay, just don’t expect the best in the world.

Ups: the other guests are nice and social, the beds are clean and comfortable Downs: pretty much anything else (worst bathroom i‘ve ever seen in a Hostel even though it was the ‚deluxe room fully renovated 2019‘, owner was weird and sometimes rude) It’s just a functional but loveless place

I would recommend it solely for the cost-benefit. I stayed in a four-person room. The mattresses appeared to be new and clean, as were the sheets, pillowcase, and towel. The bathroom lacks maintenance (the drain where you shower was clogged), and there are no individual outlets for each bed, but there are extension cords for sharing. There's no one at reception, and they don't always respond to WhatsApp messages when we need information.

The showers flood the entire bathroom and cause water damage. Also there is possible mold with a bad smell

1) Weird manager, shitty attitude Reception abandoned at arrival, no one picked up phone, no further information. Me and others left stuff unattended and came back later. He finally showed up, not seeing fault on his side. Only accepted cash. Heard of others he got quite hostile out of his own stupidity, but blamed them 2) Facilities bare minimum Awful beds, shower like a construction site, yet moldy, a smelly towel with stains. Felt dirtier after showering Only saving grace: Fridge in the...

I loved my stay at this very sociable hostel! I met people with whom we did so many activities. The location is fairly central (10-15 minutes from the port and the town of Parikia). The hostel's rooftop terrace has a very sociable atmosphere and makes it easy to meet people. I recommend this hostel 100% and will definitely be back! I felt at home in this place :)

Seriously one of my favourite hostels!!! Everything about it is perfect and the people are so amazing/helpful. Definitely recommend this hostel :)

This has been my favourite hostel I’ve stayed at. It’s so social, my room had a balcony, the pool downstairs is lovely as well as the rooftop with great views and a good chance to talk to some people. I highly recommend this place

Absolutely loved how social it was! Bathrooms are very outdated and did not feel clean and the beds were okaaayy. It’s not in the centre of town but it’s still an easy walk!

I have never felt so uncomfortable! The Check in Guy who appears to be the Owner ( about 50years) , said extremely inappropriate things e.g.: „I want to sting you Like a bee and Taste your honey“ to Young travelling Girls about twenty years old and offered to take them in at his Place when they obviously did Not feel comfortable in the Situation.
