This hostel is something special.It's feels like one big family. We where all together hiking and swimming in the river in the daytime and eating drinking an watching stars in the night. Truly a one in a life time experience ❤️🌍🔥

Fabi and the vollie squad were stellar! So close to so many hikes, also just a wonderful place to take it slow. Fabi has also made a detailed guide with all to know about the town, what hikes to do, which as a beginner made me feel way less intimidated. Super clean, super safe, super friendly and also super cute pets hanging about!

Perfect experience. Only thing I’ll say is that if you’re stuck there with a couple of abrasive folks, you’re stuck. Killed the vibe in a couple of hangs, notably when alcohol was involved. Depends on who you are and who your vacation mates are. But altogether excellent getaway from the cities of Europe, and by all means accessible. Great job, Ginger Monkey! Keep it up.

Once you stay at ginger monkey, no other hostel will match it. Staff were very friendly and always willing to help guide you through the town and give advice for the day. Special shoutout to Cranjis the volunteer from Lithuania for giving me great advice for my upcoming Baltics trip!

The Ginger Monkey has been my favorite hostel so far!!! It is very social, without being a party hostel. Staff goes out of their way to make guests feel welcomed, and even provided a guide of things to do in the area. The guide made it so easy to get around. It is very clean. They also have pets! A really wonderful community vibe :)

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! The atmosphere is very unique. It feels like living in a mountain chalet with friends. You start the day with a free breakfast, then you go for one of the beautiful hikes proposed by the hostels, and finish by a cozy evenings when you eat with all the hostel together and chat. The place itself is very comfortable and the view is breath taking! I strongly recommend!

Easily one of the best hostels you'll ever visit. Gorgeous mountain surroundings and amazing views right from the door step - but most importantly, some of the most friendly staff and volunteers who create an super social atmosphere. From someone who has stayed and volunteered in dozens: don't think, just go. You won't regret it.

A second home somewhere in the mountains. A perfect place to run away from the business of cities and daily life. Staff is very welcoming and helpful, so from the first minute after arrival you can relax, enjoy the views and socialise, if you are feeling up to. Stay monkey! 🦧

Amazing retreat between party cities! There's always someone around to chat, or you can escape to the mountains all day. Comfy beds, good hot showers, and the cutest hostel dog too. Can't wait to go back!
