    I will remember my stay in this hostel very fondly. First of all, you can immediately feel the very positive energy of the place, the staff is helpful, always smiling and welcoming. The entire facility is very well equipped, there will be plenty of amenities even for a longer stay. You can feel a nice homely atmosphere and security. Facility is very well-kept and clean. You can meet a lot of new people there and have a great base for exploring the beautiful surroundings. I will recommend Hostel Timbuktu to my friends and I hope to go back there someday! Thank you for an unforgettable stay

    This is a little different hostel than we are used to. It is a great design space for travelers from around the world. I was captivated by the interior, the cleanliness and the willingness of the ladies at the reception. For the price offered, it was a perfect choice. I don't look for hostels, but I would go back to this one without hesitation. The room was clean, my bed was ready. I appreciate the large modern kitchen and social spaces.

    Travelling for 20 years & best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I was there 7 nights, made a ton of life long friends of all ages & countries. The activities, vibes & staff were epic. Location is near the bus stop, grocery store & beach. The beds are super comfy, the shower has great water pressure & the internet is good. They’ve even an area for remote workers. This the cleanest & most organised hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I will definitely be back next summer & bringing my friends. Grazie for the hospitality, good vibes and epic memories.

    There's nothing really to share, just that there are only 2 buses from Palermo, so plan to stay long and don't forget sunscreen and repellent...

    Words cannot describe my experience at this hostel. I can definitely say it was the best hostel I've stayed. Everything is clean and tidy and already at the check in you feel very welcome, almost like part of a family. It's not so far from the beach and the hosts are happy to recommend nice hiking trails and beaches around. I will definitely come back and stay more this time!

    THere was nothing I didn't like.

    The hostel staff are very welcoming and helpful. THe room which I shared with 5 other girls/ women and the en-suite bathroom were super clean. The kitchen, the lounge and the terrace are all very lovely and the vibe is great. THere's a little bar on the terrace and the prices are very affordable, and several guests hang around just chilling or making friends.

    There is nothing to complain about Timbuktu Hostel. :)

    This is the most wonderful Hostel i have ever stayed in. Mindful concept, a history behind that house, concious living in a community, caring about our planet, open hearts & minds. Clean, cozy, lovely garden, thoughtfull structured kitchen with basic things like coffee - oil, herbes to cook etc. included. If you ever go to San Vito lo Capo stay there!

    that I had to leave

    Marco and his team give off a very welcoming energy and vibe, after having spent a few days here you will not want to leave. the atmosphere makes it easy to connect for everyone. I’ve never seen a kitchen as well organised, clean and professional in any hostel I’ve spent ever spent time in. the artistic details and various paintings give off an enriching charm everyone can benefit from. Timbuktu is not a hostel, it’s a home.
