Reviews of Hostel on the Hill - by Filikuri Beach

Views

The hostel has great views, but other than that it’s terrible. It’s up the hill, so every day you need to hike (it’s steep). Then the welcoming lady is rude, last night she stormed in to the room and was claiming I didn’t pay, but I did. There is no privacy.. also the there is a terrace outside rooms, and when people gather there it’s super loud, impossible to sleep until 2am

Great sunset view and nice to stay on a property with agricultural connections. Clean facilities.

Rooms were more cramped than the photos let on. The staff had little grasp of English, which caused a lot of frustration for both parties and did not foster a welcoming environment.

Was lovely stay, people made the trip. Hostel was very social and the staff are hard working. Would recommend

Nice view of the city

Up a big hill that’s tough after doing it a few times without a car. Despite booking a 6 bed dorm, we were put in a 12 bed dorm. When we asked the host about this she didn’t seem to care and said the 6 bed is full so it’s here or nothing. Our bathroom also flooded.

Worst hostel I have ever stayed in.

If you like being yelled at by an old mean Albanian grandmother all the time then this is your place

The host! She makes the stay so special. Also the view is just unreal.

There aren’t enough outlets in the 6 person room. The shower could’ve been cleaner. No great way to make coffee.

Excellent hostel, the lady who runs it (unfortunately forgot her name) is down to earth, and works extremely hard keeping up with the hostel. Extremely clean facilities, 5 minute walk from the nearest beach. Highly recommend.

The walk up to the hostel can be a challenge, especially if you have heavy luggage, excluding that, was an absolutely pleasant stay.

The view was incredible, and the hosts were amazing and so kind❤️

The place is amazing but the owners(woman) are not so welcoming so...

The hostel is wonderful. It's a beautiful house on a hill, with grape vines lining the path up to it. The owners are really lovely. Jennifer will go out of her way to help you. Those who think she's rude are wrong. Albanian is an aggressive sounding language, and her English isn't brilliant, so she finds other ways to make herself understood. She really is so nice. The view is spectacular. Don't get me wrong, if you're walking up that hill with all your bags in the afternoon sun, you will regret all of your life choices. But once you reach the top - wow! It's as far away from the main strip as it could be, which is nice so you get a bit of exercise.

Great view of the sunset from the common area, the room was also very comfy. While we stayed there it was relatively quiet but also nice to socialise with other people staying there, not a party hostel by any means so it's also a good place to just unwind.

The trek up isn't too bad but it's not the closest place from where the bus dropped us - so it is a bit of a walk. It does get super dark at night, but stargazing makes up for it ^^ Although the common area was nice, it is very small so there's not much space to go about around the hostel. Not sure of the other rooms, but in the room we stayed, the top bunks don't have power outlets so keep a powerbank charged and handy :)

The breakfast was really good and the price even better. What I loved the most was the view and the people staying there. The host was very nice too and even gave me a ride to the bus stop. Filikuri beach was a fun experience but be careful coming down because a girl died recently trying to go down to the beach.

Nothing. Even the hike up to the hostel was enjoyable.

The view was everything! I really loved that beautiful quiet place

Feel like home

Stunning views, Jennifer was lovely to me and very kind. Breakfast was lovely, place nice and clean and tidy.

The view was phenomenal, yes it’s a hike up a hill to get there, but it was 100% worth it. The place is still close to town for dinner and to go to the main beach. The host provides brekkie for 4€, absolutely delicious food that seems to have home grown veg (we assumed this because they have their own farm).
