One of the dogs kept pooping every time it would see me xD

The hostel was amazing. The beds so comfortable, quiet and warm place. The breakfast was plenty (the bread is sooo good), and loved the staff and dogs.

The atmosphere at black sheep hostel was as always and every year exactly how i mention it to friends when we talk about best hostels in Ireland ! Everything always spot on , hospitality of all workers , homely climate, animals , nature , location , peaceful nights , beautiful coffee made by Black Sheep themselves, and experiences mentioned by random travelers you met during your adventures!

The toilet water pressure, doesn’t flush well but do able. No complaints because everything else was good.

Almost Everything. The curtain are very much appreciated. The dogs are absolutely adorable, the staffs are super nice, very friendly overall environment. The best hostel so far in Ireland that I’ve been.

Some water pressure issues.

Very musician friendly with a piano & stage in the garden being a nice touch. Loved the free cosy/arty vibe that just makes everyone staying there a lot more open. Big fan of the chickens and the dandy didmonts. Extremely eco-conscious! Pretty much how I pictured every hostel when being told rambling stories by worldly friends.

There were a few deposits that were paid to get our keys and a towel, and those could only be paid in cash so make sure you have cash on you!

This hostel was amazing! Very cozy atmosphere, staff were very kind and accommodating. They also knew lots about stuff to do in the area! Multiple lounge rooms and places to meet other travelers! Big kitchen to store and cook food along with free spices for you to use! We had breakfast included which had all the staples (toast, fruits, juices etc). Our room was a 8 person room, beds were bunk beds and they each had a darkness curtian, light and outlet. Additionally, locked storage was under each bed. Our room also had a sink in it. Bathrooms and showers in the hostel were great. The hostel runs a coffee shop as well which was great for coffee and tea in the morning. Overall very clean and very comfortable!

Only complaint I have is that there is mold in the bathroom.

The beds were really comfortable and have a privacy curtain. The shared spaces are looked after well and especially the kitchen was really nice. Breakfast was nothing special, but nice to have. The staff were also incredibly nice and helpful. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

If you want things to be hygienic, this is the wrong place. He should rather look for a 4 star hotel.

It's more than just a hostel. You immediately feel like you have arrived here. Like in a temporary shared apartment. Very familiar. Small and not too many guests. It's right next to the national park. Very committed employees who always have an open ear. Music was also regularly played in the living room in the evenings. In the morning there was a barista coffee shop right next door that belongs to the hostel. And freshly baked bread for breakfast. I will visit the hostel again. Thank you Kev and the other staff for the great time. It is also important to mention that there are 4 lovely dogs in the hostel (not for allergy sufferers)

We stayed in an 8 bed dorm and it was clean. Breakfast was simple and the hostel had a really nice atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again.

The bathroom was not the cleanest to be honest

The whole vibe is awesome. The staff is really nice, the whole interior is great and there‘s a herb garden and free stuff which you can use like herbs, eggs and whatever guests are leaving. Breakfast is also great. Toast, Cereals, Eggs, Bread, Jam and fruits. Instant coffee, different kind of teas, milk, orange juice

Nothing to say ... everything about this hostel is amazing.

So clean, so friendly and so beautiful. The best hostel in d world and I have travelled many places.

There was an artisanal/hippie vibe, but not at the expense of comfort and cleanliness; as a result, the experience was unique, but without the downsides that can come from being alternative.

The shower, even though the water was lovely and hot, the space in the room was quite small. I left the door slightly ajar just to be able to dry myself properly.

The Hostel is very convenient for shopping, meals and even though it was a little bit of a walk I had free parking for the night, after 6:30 pm. The art work in the hostel was sensational, and the attention to details was terrific. Plenty of places to sit and relax and talk and make friends. Whoever did the adaptation into a hostel did a fine job, it doesn’t ‘look’ like a hostel, more like a big house with friends visiting.

For me the only point is that staff were a bit busy as also running a café.

Very nice shared room, kitchen, location, place spirit.

No coffee at breakfast and beds close from the entrance

The vibe

I could feel the springs in my bed which was annoying

Really nice and cozy hostel in a great location. Friendly Hostel mates and nice breakfast. Clean rooms and 2 pillows which isn't common for a hostel!
