    Decorations and collections are nice, you can tell the owners put lots of effort in them. The kitchen is very well equipped and tidy

    Really cool hostel
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Single Bed in 6- Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    There were a couple of signs around the hostel that each said something along the lines of 'You can use the toilets whenever you need, even if cleaning in progress' and 'You can use common areas after checkout, just make sure to leave keys back in time' One of the ladies cleaning seemed upset that we were using the common area/kitchen after checkout (I was just making a cup of tea & eating cereal). Also my mum asked if she could use the toilet and she was told "they've just been cleaned" which seemed quite harsh as she was really desperate to go and this contradicts the signage. Despite this I loved the hostel and maybe we were just being too disruptive!

    One of the coolest hostels I've stayed in, really nice social areas, big clean kitchen, lovely outside areas. The host was very friendly. We got a private room even though we booked a dorm which was really nice and beds were comfy.

    Maybe bathroom a little far away from some rooms but not a lot that could be done about that.When this was a concern to my partner the owner happily relocated us to a closer remove

    Very cool place - great facilities and owner is a nice guy.As a recent retiree who with my partner is touring S.I. on a budget I have refound backpackers and they don't let you down. This place was no exception, clean, comfy, great kitchen facilities.

    A mosquito net on the window would have been nice and maybe another shelf to put the second backpack on.

    It was a really cute stay, comfortable bed, nice cushions. Everything was clean, everyone was friendly, the kitchen is well equipped and the showers were awesome as well. There is barely anything I could complain about!

    It's a truly unique and beautiful hostel where you easily fall into deeper relaxation. To start off with, the whole place is a piece of art! Every detail is made and cared for with a strong sense of quality and thoughtfulness. The kitchen is an inspiring place to cook, the fridges are clean, the knives are sharp and the pans are in perfect condition. There's fresh air flowing through the hostel during the day and warm air from the heating during the night. I feel like there's no end to all the good things I could say about the Global village. I guess I'm just very happy there's still gems like this around, where it's not just about the money, but about creating a beautiful place for travelers to rest, play boardgames, music and forget about the time for a while...
