    This hostel has a great location and the staff are friendly and helpful, which made me feel welcome and made a difference to the atmosphere and community. The kitchen is well-equipped, which is a plus. However, I did encounter bed bugs during my stay, and the facilities, especially the bathrooms and other amenities, could use some updating. I would only consider staying here again if the bed bug issue has been clearly resolved or the hostel has been somewhat updated.

    So I found bed bugs when I first checked in, staff were very apologetic and moved me to a new room and I had no issues after. I also noticed staff going in and deep cleaning that first room so they’re trying to fix this but yeah honestly it did make my first night less restful as it was a concern until I could confirm my new bed wasn’t part of the problem. But the staff were nice and helped me organise stuff to do in Ohrid. And the hostel had a decent social vibe too

    almost perfect stay! gyoko and team are lovely, but we did find bedbugs in my room, so I left

    Nice location and good vibes. But its not really clean and some other guests had bed bugs in their beds.

    Property was in a solid location to the lake and central park of the town. Room 100% had bed bugs and only 2 showers were available. Owner was very friendly and helpful but the promised boat tours that I was excited about weren't happening regularly as I had originally thought. Would probably stay somewhere else if I go back to Ohrid.

    BEDBUGS. As we checked in, some other ppl who had stayed the previous night warned us about bedbugs. I talked to the owner who acted like he had no clue what I was talking about. My bed had bedbugs. And lots. Had to pick them out of all my stuff, it’s horrible

    Bedbugs bedbugs bedbugs. I know this doesn't happen to everyone and the hostel other than this is not too bad but if you are unlucky enough to end up in one of the infested beds it's not fun! I booked here as nothing else was available and stayed for 2 nights, i'm now battling about 200 extremly itchy horrible bites from my face all the way to my toes, not to mention all of my clothes being infested! The hostel is fine but i would avoid if you do not want to be eaten alive.

    Bed bugs. Everything else was perfect tbh but the bed bugs are a big no no

    DO NOT STAY HERE! THE HOSTEL HAS BED BUGS - it had them weeks before I arrived & still had them when I was there (the owner doesn't care!). The owner and staff didn't even care when I told them I got bed bugs. WORST HOSTEL EVER! The kitchen is disgusting and tiny, the bathrooms are falling apart & completely mouldy. One of the bathrooms didn't even have a proper wall or toilet. Not sociable, no common area. I don't know why anyone stays here and I left after 1 night here. Nobody was at reception to check me

    I stayed at the hostel for two nights in June. There were bedbugs in my bed. When I arrived back in Spain, I had to go to the dermatologist because my entire thigh and arms were covered in bites. The girl in the bed in front of mine had the same issue. I sent photos of what had happened to me at the hostel; they apologized and promised to refund my stay as long as I didn’t leave a bad review. I sent them my PayPal, but I never received the money. I wrote a couple of emails and no answer

  11. Confirmed Hostelworld

    There were bed bugs at this hostel, there was mold in the bathroom/on the shower curtain, and the shower head was broken. The volunteers were friendly but the hostel doesn’t have much of an atmosphere in my opinion. The location is close to the old town

    Location - great. Owner - super nice. What was terrible was a bed bug in the hostel in beds and walls. Owner was surprised but after checking Google reviews we found out the issue is ongoing for months. Avoid if you don't want to end up covered in bites.

    Great place with big rooms and good location near local restaurants Woke up one night covered with bed bugs. Found out after that the hostel has known about the bed bugs for a while and is trying to manage it. I wish they had informed us before that this was an ongoing issue, would’ve booked somewhere else and avoided the hassle. Was given a refund for the issue.
