    Great vibe, common spaces and comfy bed. Breakfast was basic but good enough for being free. Had luggage storage, sold padlocks, free towels to use. Laundry room, pool, kitchen and all clean.

    The property was clean with many options for accommodation. The pool area was very nice and the location was perfect. It was easy to find and easy to travel to other locations for day trips. There are lots of restaurants around as well. The staff was also top-notch. Incredibly helpful and kind.

    There was a slight smell of humidity in the downstairs (female) room, and the bathroom showed some signs of age.

    The breakfast was excellent, offering a great variety for the price. The reception staff were extremely kind, helpful, and friendly. The outdoor area with the pool was beautiful, and the kitchen and sitting room were super clean, featuring a lovely design and charming paintings.

    Where do I start. This place is absolutely the best hostel on the island. I have tried many places and they were all a nightmare. I love how friendly the staff is. And all the wonderful people I have met here. Plus the free breakfast was exquisite. Everything in this facility is super clean. The view in the front of the hostel is a one of a kind. And to top it off there is a pool in the backyard which is super relaxing. And a garden at the bottom with two comfortable hammocks and lovely citrus trees which smells amazing. I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much follow the sun hostel. ✨✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

    It was a unforgettable Experience to stay at the Follow the Sun Hostel. I met so many wonderful people from all over the world. The staff of the hostel is also very nice & even funny. There where a lot of special moments I will remember for a long time. From the balcony you could see the Sea. Thank you all for making this time so special! ✨

    Stayed 1 night, would like to stay again. - Other guests were loud after the start of quiet hour in the corridor. Apparently children (teenagers) are allowed into a hostel, as it seemed, unsupervised and they were super unthoughtful of others. It would be nice if there was anyone to supervise that they would not be barking at night. + Hostel exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was fantastic, so as fantastic location, good staff. Lively hostel which gave me summer vibes as it was in nature, could hear cocks in the morning and even see the see. It was clean and organised, lots of lingering spaces outside and inside.

    They changed price higher than before. Two times higher than month ago. Of course, the Owner wants to earn in good season summers. Some weak hotels as Europa hotel in Malta changed price higher 3 times.They have not windows in many rooms and an air is not going.

    Hostel is in very nice nature place all very green around.We can to see a Sea. I like nature here a lot of birds , wild cats , chicken and wild Roosters singing from 3 am. The breakfast is very good .

    Roosters nearby make a racket every morning, and on public transport it is somewhat of a pain to get to.

    Breakfast was a nice addition. Room was pretty comfy and area felt safe.

    Pros: service, common areas, location. Overall a good stay, although did not spend much time there. Cons: wifi did not work at all or only for some ppl. I saw this issue been raised in some reviews so defs pretty well known for everybody, big drawback tbh. The mattress I slept on was in very rough shape. Neutral: Seemingly several ppl were long term guests

    We got in touch to ask about dairy-free options for the breakfast and, although we knew there would be limited options, we were told there would be plant-based milk available but unfortunately there wasn't. Cereal and water isn't very tasty! It's a small thing and hasn't put us off coming to stay again but would appreciate having the option next time. Thanks!

    Very comfy beds and good communication prior to arrival
