    Not the cleanest place on earth but for this price you just get what you pay for. Also it's quite hard to communicate with staff on booking or WhatsApp at times

    Very friendly staff and the place is very chilled. Good if you look for a proper hostel experience. The location is actually okay. It's a bit of a walk but it's a nice and quiet neighborhood

    Mosquitos! Lots of them. Also the toilet wasn't fixed properly and we had to walk around the street to use a proper working one or risk the one in the hostel. It is also very far from everything. But if that's what you want then so be it.

    It's a nice little place, great for getting away from it all if that's what you want. Quite cozy and we had good chats. Great for arriving super late!

    Really nice place with a big garden and places to stay everywhere. Chairs, sunbeds and hammocks all around. My bedroom was big and the bed super comfortable. According to the location there are a lot of mosquitos but all windows are covered with nets- so no bites inside. Just one bathroom in the main house but more showers and toilets available a few meters away. Super clean over there.

    There is only one bathroom which can be a bit annoying as people knock on the door for their turn or you need to wait quite a while to use the bathroom. It is not a short walk to town, and at night time you might get hastled by street dogs on the way from town.

    It had a great yard , and there are fig trees all over, the rooms are comfortable. It is nice especially if you need time away from crowd and noise

    No AC but not necessarily needed as location cools a little during night. Location is a bit far from city but very accessible in 30mins if willing to walk which we did. Extra bathrooms is in seperation building but much nicer than one in main building.

    Nature feel and quite if you’re looking for something remote. More relaxing rather than party which is nice. In relation to location it is next to train and bus station.

    This place could use some work done, it can be a really good place for camping or an escape from the city. The location is not the best, but they can't do much with it. It shouldn't be much of a downside

    It is a really nice, remote and quiet hostel. The staff was nice and helpful. The hostel itself is very colorful and interestingly looking. The garden surrounding it is a good place for relaxation, but the bugs will bother you.

    If you walk there the hostel is hard to find and there are not enough signs. You walk there on the train tracks for a bit It was close to the bus station which was positive Its 2,8km till you reach the beach and 1,7km to the next (big) supermarket There is only one bathroom+shower in the main house which is old and bit dirty (two more are located 2 walking minutes away) The shower only had super hot or freezing cold water and the shower head is not fixed to the wall so the water does not get on your head

    Its a quiet and calm place with a campsite, very nice atmosphere in the outdoor space Rooms are okay for the price, kitchen is good too but everything is a bit broken and shabby

    Only thing to improve might be the bathroom situation, as there's only one bathroom on-site and the other is a 5 minute walk down the road

    love this hostel! The volunteers are so sweet and the whole vibe is just really good. Easy to socialise if you want to:)

    Due to the natural surroundings there were lots of mosquitoes. Not much the facility can do about that though.

    We chose the location for its proximity to rail and bus station. It was close to both but still peaceful and quiet.

    Even though it is a 10 minute walk away from bus and train terminal, it is really far from any beach. That wild beach in the photos is a bit misleading, you have to hike about 2 hours to get there. Again about 40 minute walk to the nearest public beach.

    The place has a very positive energy flow. You will immediately feel like at your own home. The volunteer staff is amazing They are always smiling, helpful and friendly. The environment is serene and peaceful, but at night it can turn into a rave in the woods if guests are in the mood for it. Musquitos are really disturbing but people usually bond over that collective problem lol. The rooms have window nets and they always keep the building doors closed so musquitos don't really bother you when you are indoors.

    There are many mosquitos (this is not the place's fault, of course, but the windows could be more prepared for this. There is only one bathroom and it gets busy.

    The place is acceptable according to its price. The vibe is lovely. The environment is beautiful.

    Dirt and mess. 1 toilet and shower room per floor, without a normal lock. No lockers, no curtains by the beds. located quite far from the city center. There were many flying insects. Suitable for undemanding tourists

    Polite receptionist, clean linens, places to relax in the garden. Good price for night.

    MOSQUITOES!! They were all over, unfortunately :( So remember to bring some protective spray. Also, the management of the hostel seems a bit loose and uncoordinated, but I found that part of the charm.

    Really unique place. With lots of backpackers and surrounded by beautiful mountains, we had an amazing stay. The atmosphere is great and people are very welcoming. Loved the hammocks, paintings on the wall and the small kittens.

    That being said. There’s three flaws with the place. Two minor and one major. Since the place is run by volunteers not everything is in perfect order all the time. This I could live with cause it was always good enough (and the life that the volunteers brought to the place thoroughly outweighed the small inconveniences I encountered). The owners absence can mostly be felt in the toilet and bathroom facilities. There’s only one working bathroom/we in the main house and it is not enough. There is two more toilets and baths a few hundreds meter always, but they are not in great condition. Additionally the hostel is about 30-40 minute walk from the city. This is a minor inconvenience since it also means that the hostel is away from noise, and entrenched in the beautiful Montenegrin nature. Lastly but also most importantly, the place is riddled with mosquitoes. Omg so many mosquitoes. This is the only true negative about the place. The owner and the volunteers do try to alleviate the issue with smoke candles and sprays but it wasn’t enough. Even still, I loved my time here and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat.

    This place is special. There’s a certain vibe and you feel it as soon as you enter the grounds. There’s a sense of community a serenity that you don’t find in many hostels. I stayed at Namaste for one week and I never once met the owner. Instead I became friends with the volunteers who ran the place. A lovely group of friendly Aussies who made my stay there really special. There’s a dog who lives there named Shanti and she’s really lovely. Besides the dog, there was three little kittens when I was there. Julia, Cheddar and Feta. All three had been saved a few days before my arrival. People took trips together, made friends, barbecued and one even held a birthday party. We sadly also had to throw a funeral for one of the kittens, Feta. It was a beautiful ceremony and you can probably find his grave if you go looking. I fully recommend going to Namaste.
