“Amazing location with great company/staff in the hostel! Definitely unforgettable.”

“Would really recommend if you come to Hebron and I would definitely come back!”

Super kind host, amazing location.

“Unforgettably amazing place to stay, a must if u want to see true Hebron.”

If ur there to see Hebron for the current situation. This place is perfect for that. A dorm bed which is in a great location, GPS is exact in the markets but the locals will help u find it if u have any issues. The tour arranged through the hostel is very good and very emotionally powerful, u'll see and meet Palestinians right on the settlement boundary and hear first hand their daily life issues. My guide, Basheer, was amazing, we ended up going out for dinner, shisha and chess afterwards. If u want to see Hebron and feel safe, this is how to do it. All the Palestinian locals will go out of their way to make u feel safe. Everyone there wasn't tourists to come back and wants them to feel as happy and safe as they can. Take the jump, do it...

Everything was perfect. Thank you for the lovely stay!

“Amazing hostel which feels like home!”

Amazing place! When the name says it all! I was met and treated like an actual friend. The place is clean, safe and centrally located in the middle of Old town in Hebron. Bilal is such a great person and amazing host who really cares not only about your comfort but also makes you feel like you are a family member or a very good friend. Thank you for your hospitality!

One of the best hostels that I have ever been to :) Incredibly nice owners ("Wallah welcome!"), very beautiful room (I felt like a prince in a movie), good location... I recommend 100%

“If you ever visit Hebron, you definitely should meet & stay with Bilal and his friends & staff!”

“Amazing staff, facilities and location”

Bilel is the most incredible host and makes you feel right at home! Hostel is clean, perfectly located and a brilliant place to explore Hebron/Al-Khalil and make new friends. I can’t wait until the day I return!

“Great place to stay with an awesome host, Bilal!”

Friends Hostel was a great place to stay! This was my first time staying at a hostel so I didn't know what to expect. Due to the war and the uncertainties in the area, many hotels and BNBs are closed so I decided to check out Friends Hostel. Glad I did! Bilal was an awesome host! Very attentive and ensured everything was taken care of. He even offered to be my guide in Al Khalil / Hebron. He provided the history as well as the unfortunate changes within the Old City that had taken place since the war. The location is great as it sits in the middle of a busy daily open air market. There were a couple of other guests who were there - very friendly and enjoyable to talk with. I was fortunate to have my own room which was very clean and quiet. There is a kitchen and a washer if you need it but I didn't use them as I ate out to help the local economy. I felt very safe in the area and will have no issues returning for a longer stay.

“Pe”

Bilal is available at anytime and the flat is very well located. If you go to Hebron you definetly have to stay there !

“Make sure you stay here”

Absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to hear about real life in Hebron. Akram is amazing host who make sure you feel like home. He takes time to explain the situation and answer the questions. The place has fast Wi-Fi, heating, kitchen and is centrally located. If we ever come back, we choose Friends Hostel again.

Great hostel in a very central location. Bilal the host is super friendly as are all the people of Hebron. Make sure you come to visit.

“amazing”

the staff who help guest with big kindness)

“Great hospitality and great location. Come if you are into Hebron's complicated history and culture.”

The host, Akram, is beyond a kind and knowledgeable person who really knows what is happening and what happened in Jericho. He is willing to connect you with local people so that you can really get a deeper understanding of the situation in Hebron. He and his friends will invite you for tea, coffee, and sheesha so definitely come here for the host's hospitality. You will also get to know some interesting travelers here (I was quite lucky that the day I stayed was almost fully booked and the social scene is amazing). Beyond all these, the hostel is located right in the middle of the souq and is only a few minutes walk from the old city. Really come here for the superb hospitality and the location.

“An introduction to Hebron”

Location is great, right in the millenary old city. For those interested in understanding the division of the town, it's close to the Bab Al Zawiya checkpoint, the most important one. If you'd like to meet young Palestinians, friendly locals like to stop by and talk about the situation.

“Perfect stay in Hebron. Go there!”

Instead of a comment, there is an excerpt from my diary: Finally, in a covered bazaar, we find the entrance to our guesthouse, where Akram, the 18-year-old host, warmly welcomes us. In no time we are talking to each other and are joined by two other guests, Mia, a young Danish woman and Ben, a young Australian world traveler. The small terrace a little above the apartment is the ideal place for this. Suddenly a young woman comes out of the neighboring apartment with her child, and later also the grandmother, everyone is super friendly and interested. All in all, a hospitable and uncomplicated arrival, just how we liked it. We are offered tea and move into our room, the drawing room and the best room in the house, which you can tell was once a pretty grand room, but now, like the whole house, is pretty old and run down. Soon we set off to a restaurant recommended by the host, which is located near the end of Hebron's lively main shopping street. The portions, chicken with rice, are huge, the price is the opposite. After organizing the city tour with Akram for the next day, we fall into a deep, wonderful sleep because the window can remain open in the pleasant temperatures.

“Fantastic host and the best place to stay when you want to understand Hebron”

Very cozy place. A lot of privacy. Has everything you need. Fridge, washing machine and even a nice rooftop terrace
