The staff is always great. Very interesting people come from all over the world, to work there at the reception. Steep location, right next to the entrance to the National Park.

It’s not super central to the city center, though there are regular busses and it means hiking paths start just around the corner!

Excellent international staff with a very welcoming approach. Game nights and dinners. Cozy environment and family atmosphere. The price is extremely cheap, especially for what you get in return. If I return to Zakopane I would definitely stay at GBL hostel again!

I feel toilets could've been a bit cleaner.

I enjoyed international environment and mountain lodge atmosphere.

Hostel is located in perfect location for daily hikes in the mountains. There is a bus stop on the main road from where you can take a bus to Zakopane, Kuznice, Morskie Oko... Rooms, toilets and showers are clean. There is a space to prepare your own food and space in the fridge to cool down your beer. Communal area has this very nice and friendly vibe. Staff is very helpful and friendly.There are two cats that live there. I will be back next year!

hardly anything.

The feeling of community, staff, the people in general were all great. Perfect atmosphere for Zakopane with a cosy hostel all around. Had my best stay there out of any hostel, wish I could've been there longer.

That I couldn't stay for longer ❤️

Beautiful log cabin outside of Zakopane, 5 minute walk from the bus stop. Really nice relaxed atmosphere. Staff was very nice and friendly (thanks in particular to Lee and Kuba) and there was a different event every night eg. Perogi night, games night etc. Lovely cats too! Beds were very comfy too.

The style of the hostel is amazing, a wooden house in the forest, exactly what you want going to the mountains. A bit far from city centre but just in the nature! You go out and mountains are here! Staff is very friendly, rooms and bathrooms are clean.

Can't say anything about breakfast as never used. The location is a bit away from the centre of Zakopane, you need a bus to get there or 50 min walk. On the other hand the location is perfect for Tatra national park. It's a hostel, not a 5 star hotel, you share it with other people from all over the world, which can be a great experience. Great value for money, perfect place to explore Tatra mountains.

The size of the fridge for plenty of people. Hard to put even your yoghurt inside.

The atmosphere although it's not for everyone.

Everything. It's a small cozy hut, and I love the free breakfast and the occasional snacks. It provided an opportunity for solo backpackers like me to socialize with the others. It's located near the entrance to the park, so it's easy to start a hike early or even later in the day.

Only thing I can complain about was the lack of space in the fridge when the hostel was full however that is understandable due to the circumstances.

Perfect spot if you want to go hiking. -Relaxed atmosphere -Beautiful homey interior (felt like home away from home) -Staff were very kind and of great help -plenty of board games and instruments around the hostel so there always something fun to do -there is a hiking trail 2 minutes away from the hostel In general a brilliant spot to have fun, meet new people and go hiking in Zakopane.

For me it was perfect, exactly what I needed. It may not be for people who want luxury accommodation though, but these people don't go for hostels anyway:)

The staff were really lovely and very helpful. The atmosphere was great, relaxed, friendly, and social. You can get the view to the mountains from the garden, which was pretty cool. All the people I met in the hostel came for hiking as well, which I found really good to discuss trails, hiking experiences in Tatras etc. For me as a solo hiker, it was absolutely perfect.

The location and the atmosphere of the place are magical. I absolutely loved the place.

Beautiful hostel, surrounded by trees, flowers, great people around

Breakfast was very very basic and the two toilets are too few to serve the many guests, but the nice atmosphere compensated for these little invonveniences.

Very cute hut with a nice vibe, full of young people. It is in the middle of Nature. The track for climbing starts on the other side of the road, and offers a lovely walk. You can also park your car free...Ideal for packpackers and nature lovers. We stayed in one of the private rooms, so we had our privacy, still could mingle with others in the common spaces...

Bathroom was dirty. Also, breakfast is only after 8am, what for hikers is really late. Anyway, they have coffee and tea available all the time.

Nice place located in middle of forest. A bit far from city center, but close to the mountains. I stayed in a private room, really cozy and well decorated.

The people who work there, the lovely house, veranda and garden, it feels like home! The view is beautiful, it is right in nature and it is very quite. You can start your hikes basically from the hostel and there is a busstop very close by to bring you to the the centre of Zakopane or to other starting hiking points. I definitely recommend this place and definitely want to come back!

If you looking for a budget hostel this one is a perfect choice. Cozy old mountain cottage in the forest, international company, clean space. Common room with books and board games. Good place to start a hike in the Tatra National Park. Highly recommended.

The internet could be slightly better.

I came back. I think that says it all :)
