Amazing staff. Thank you so much for the recommendations, the conversations and the soup! The area behind the hostel is amazing. There is a hidden cave you can climb up to. The climb is a bit scary and dangerous, but if you like adventures, a must see.

“Super cute location and very friendly staff!”
The location was beautiful, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was a fantastic start to the day, and the facilities and rooms were very clean. The lamb soup was also super hearty and a great way to finish the night after a long day.

“Very good, can recommend.”
Good breakfast - variety of choices. Dinner is available so that is good when you arrive later and have no time for grabbing anything earlier. Free tea, coffee and welcoming pie was also nice. The location somewhere in between perfectly fit my needs. Luckily it was also quiet during the night. In overall it was very good.

“Great place !”
My stay at Paradis Cave Hostel was incredible from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with a warm and professional reception – the young woman at the front desk was super kind (and impressive, speaking several languages!). The dorms and showers are spotless: everything is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The common room is cozy and inviting, with board games, coffee, water, tea, and even little cakes available – you instantly feel at home. I also had the chance to enjoy the dinner offered on-site: it was absolutely delicious, cooked with passion, and served in an atmosphere that encourages meeting and connecting with fellow travelers. The people here are genuinely kind, passionate, and truly eager to share the beauty and culture of their country. The surroundings are just as amazing: a stunning waterfall right next to the hostel and even adorable sheep wandering around, which make the place feel even more authentic and peaceful.

This was the only accomodation on my trip with a shared bedroom. But the overall performance was just great. The best bathrooms, free tea and coffe and an additional welcome cake. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend it.

There was an option of having a dinner (lamb soup, vegetarian soup or pizza) which was really nice, especially after a long day of travelling. The whole place was beautiful and clean. The room was spacious and had a view of the waterfall. There was a welcome cake and unlimited tea/coffee included in the price which was a really sweet gesture. The breakfast was sufficient and quite nice (continental breakfast - cheese, ham, vegetables, yoghurt, jams, oats, doughnuts, etc.)
