It raises your expectations so high that you usually don't like to stay in any other place after that!

This place is far beyond just a hostel. It feels like a welcoming home for anyone who stays there, even for a couple of days. and usually, the people who stay there for the first time always regret why their stay is not longer (just like I did). The friendly and cosy atmosphere, the cool and inspiring people who own, work or stay there, the cute chicken, the free movie night that happens every evening, The herb garden and the apple tree, and many other things make Sandino one of a kind and a place where everybody loves to return to, once they experience being there. Thank you, Micha and all the other beautiful souls who make Sandino as great as it is now.

Very cosy and nice hostel:) Season kitchen and places for sitting and chatting around with other guests outdoors. The atmosphere of local community of people who stay there at the same time with you - it was amazing to spend 3 nights there and inhale its vibe)

There was a bonfire every night and the smoke triggered my allergies.

Very unique hostel, lots of friendly people open to talk and make friends. The atmosphere is great, reminds me of a farm house. Don't go in expecting the same thing as you would from a chain hostel. It's more like a shared house.

Eh this might be nitpicking, but my top bunk did not have a power socket! Thankfully my phone's cable was super long so that didnt bother me too much. The showers can also be improved Can be a bit far from some places - depends on where you're going

The space is just incredible, and you can feel the amount of energy and care that's gone into it. Unlike any other hostel I have stayed in, at least in Europe :) Kitchen (well equipped!) and common areas are so cosy and so nice to have. Socialising was easy in the setting, and made some interesting connections I also like the fact that the dorms are a quiet zone and strictly meant for sleeping and resting.

The showers could be improved - maybe doors instead of curtains or soap holders would be useful.

It was so friendly, open and chill. One of the best if not the best hostel I’ve stayed - everyone was so open and friendly! Facilities were always clean.

Simply one of the best hostels I've been. Cinema and campfire every evening, a lot of common social areas. Huge kitchen with everything you need. Location is not that close to the city center, but easy connection with tram M5.

All stuff and even people who stayed with us was really friendly and kind. Very welcoming, they helped us with everything we need. Even if you need any guide, they will tell u all u need to know. I can for sure recomened this place for stay. Its very near to main city and very near to transport. They do movie night every day so that was really interesting and cool.

I've been to so many hostels and none of them even came close to this one ;) So cool, hippie vibes but also really well organized, you can chill knowing the staff will take care of everything (Claire was lovely!). A great place to meet people and go party together, but if you're not in a social mood you can just read a book in the patio and get a good night's sleep as well. Also everyone gets a towel, so no need to bring yours.

The atmosphere was amazing; something for everyone. It was incredibly comfortable and accommodating. We stayed in one of the furnished tents and it was perfect. We actually regretted that we were only there for 3 nights, as we wanted to spend more time at the hostel!

Peaceful environment at 20min from city center Tram is right next to the place which is really useful in such a big city

Stayed in July 2023

It isn't central but well connected through the tram.

First of all, the staff is amazing. The hostel has such good vibes and it's very easy to meet other people. Great showers and cute chickens as a bonus.

There are some mosquitoes at night, which is a bit annoying, but I think it's unavoidable.

The hosts are very nice! The bed is comfortable, and the room is spacious. Also it's really convenient to get from Alexanderplatz to the hostel. If I have a chance to stay in Berlin in the future, I'll stay here again!!

The place is very nice with a lot a space for relaxing. It feels like a camping but with the facilities of an Hostel. Staff has been very welcoming and nice. Definitely a place to visit if you like to stay in the nature also while visiting a city. 30minutes distance from the city centre with the Tram, easy to reach with public transport also in the night.

Compared to some of the cheaper hostels avaiable cost level is a few euros steeper but totally worth it for larger shared rooms, excellent cleaning and seevices, very quiet rooms excellent for rest and nice community areas.

Hands down best and most genuine community type of personal hostel for social interaction and a chilled out stay available in Berlin. The place is excellently run by helpful and pleasant host and the nice outside grounds provides best possible meeting spaces for new and old friends. I also liked that the shared rooms were larger than usual + the kitschen was clean, well equipped and had boxes for ”free to use” etc. Could not recommend more, will stay again (already booked my next week in September even before leaving).

The communal bathrooms might not be for everyone, but this is advertised and is what it is. it didn’t bother us - other guests were respectful.

Great atmosphere, very communal, great for groups. They put a lot of effort into setting the place up for mingling with other travellers and is ideal for backpackers. it’s one tram journey of 15-20 minutes from central Berlin but has enough amenities nearby. The semi-outdoors cooking area has a really nice summery feel to it.

The only thing I disliked was that the showers didn't have a mount place for the shower head, as someone from Brazil I'd like if it had some.

The ambience and feel of the place, the price, location was also good, they have facilities for cooking, offer a "survival guide" in case you're lost and staff is friendly, had a great time there.
