Reviews of Hostel Hakuna Matata

Very clean and comfortable. The beds are comfortable, the room had air conditioning and a small refrigerator, the windows also opened for fresh air. Linen, 1 towel, shower gel for free. The wardrobe is large enough with a key. The kitchen is fully equipped. There is always enough food. Large refrigerator. Amazing caring staff! For my birthday I received a dessert with candles and great company! There were always delicious sweet treats and cherry liqueur. To the Old Town walk 15 minutes or 2 stops by bus. To the bech 15 min by foot. Near is a big supermarket. Close to the bus stop from / to the airport. I recommend this great place!

Great hostel, great price and that’s nice to be in another neighborhood, the other time I was only staying at Old Town. The staff is very nice, and everything was ok!

Nothing.

The property was very good and clean and has all you need. It’s near to the old town by feet also .The stuff is very welcoming and nice. I thank Arijan from the stuff for the warm welcoming and everything.

The room was very clean. Showers were excellent.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Relaxed atmosphere. Easy going staff who are ready to help out and communicate well. Great location. Clean.

Showers need renovation, although it is visible they are being cleaned regularly. There are no keys/locks on the doors, only on personal lockers - I guess the hostel ensures safety by having staff be present 24/7 and video surveillance, but it made me worry. There is no built-in A/C, only a machine - which is loud during the night. Half of the appliances in the kitchen are out of order, I did not use them as I was eating all meals outside, but if you want to cook, beware.

Location is fairly central. 30 min walk from the bus station, 20 minute walk to Old Town but there's a bus stop right at the front door if you want to take the bus to either place. Bed comfortable, portable air-conditioning but it's loud so bring earplugs. Good size kitchen. Free tea & coffee. Supermarket just around the corner. Lockers provided, power outlets at bedside. Small fridge in room for your drinks.

Shower room which is mixed has no doors only shower curtains, no hooks to hang clothes, broken shower hose and no holder to hang the shower head on the wall. Also needs a real good clean with the mould build up. Dishwasher & oven are both broken in the kitchen. Hostel does face a busy road that is quite noisy with people yelling & car horns, so bring your earplugs. As other reviews the front door isn't locked so if security is a thing for you, you may want to consider this. No bed side lamp.

Really welcoming vibe, staff so nice. Great location for old town and beach

Price, but i think this is a Croatia thing not related to this wonderful place

The hosts Toni, Antonio and Arijan are kind and helpful people. They make this stay, with their friendliness and joy for life and recommendations for the area, plus going beyond to help other hostel members out during my stay. The location is also incredible, easy access to buses right outside. Easy walk into old town, Lapad and surrounding beaches.

The shower room was different however not an issue at all and kept clean.

The location is just perfect. In front of the hostel is a bus stop to the main bus station, and walking to the old town is just 18 min away. Bus stop to the old town is also 2 min from the hostel. The owner are just angel! Super nice, I feel like having a new relatives in Dubrovnik. Hvala Toni & Antonio & Arijan.

Nothing

I really liked the location, you can get to the centre in 15 minutes walking down a lovely street full of beautiful buildings and with views of the sea. The hostel has everything you need. Easy check-in and checkout, good showers, tranquility, lockers. The receptionist makes sure you are comfortable.

Everything was ok and as showed in the website.

Good location. Easy check in. Good communication with staff over WhatsApp. Large size storage lockers. Room was clean.

In the showers there is literally no where to put a towel/clothing etc. I don’t have an issue with them being unisex showers but there needs to be at least some place that you can hang your items close to the shower so that it’s easy to get changed in the cublicle. Air conditioning unit was very loud. Hotel is located next to a main road so there is a lot of road noise. There are no keys to the property, so presumably anyone can just walk in off the street and into the rooms. Items are secure inside lockable lockers but i don’t like that anyone can just walk into the bedrooms, regardless of if they are staying at the hostel or not - doesn’t feel very safe.

The most amazing staff ever!!! They went above and beyond to help me in every situation, everyone is so friendly. The location is great too

Everything amazing

The location, 20min walk from the old town

Very dirty. The property is a hostel with common areas and rooms. Our room smelled of tobacco, was dirty and the bed sheets had other people’s hair on them...The common areas were dirty as well. An unpleasant experience.

Great location, friendly staff and great value

The best hostel ever, atmosphere, kindness, human drive approach. I'm commited to come back :) Family, friendly, Thank you once again for such amazing experience :)

Spacious rooms, big lockers, kitchen, showers

Air conditioning was too cold at night, but it was my fault, I was too lazy to turn it down

Host was really nice

None of the doors have any locks - including the front door. So people can roam freely in and out of the hostel without staying there which was a big safety concern for me.

For the price considering that is Dubrovnik you won’t get anything cheaper, supermarket close, the personal help you a lot, nice people around, and even they is not in the old town bus stop 1meter outside the hostel and probably is you get the Dubrovnik pass buses will be free, try to get the 3 days.

Nothing was a nice hostel

They are very specially the owner and the people assist there i definetely go back and stay here
