Reviews of The RiverSide Chill Hostel

Excellent accommodation and very hospitable hosts. It is located next to a river and is ideal for relaxing before the next adventure in the mountains and lakes of the area.

RiverSide Chill Hostel is such a beautiful place, and what truly makes it special are Katja and Ryan. Their warmth and hospitality create a unique atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. The location is stunning, perfect for relaxing by the river or exploring the surroundings, and the vibe is always friendly and welcoming. I can’t recommend this hostel enough — it’s one of those rare places you’ll always want to come back to.

The host Katja and Ryan are super nice. Despite the location, the hostel has amazing view. Absolutely worth going.

Hosts were very friendly. Great for a dip in the river

Great host, very friendly. Great place, nice garden with hammocks near the river and a terrace to connect to other guests in the evening. Great location as a starting point to a hike in the Julian Alps, to visit the gorgeous gorges around, or to visit Bled by Bus or even on foot (ca. 1 hr to walk).

If you are fine with sleeping with multiple people in a dorm, then there is really no disadvantage to stay here.

The place is outstanding to discover Bled ! Just above the river, 15min away by foot of Vintgar Gorge ... the place is amazing The host is amazing, gave us some crazy recommandation for the next steps of our tour and he is super welcoming !!

A lovely hostel outside the “city center” of Bled. I hade an amazing stay. Highly recommended

Katja and Ryan are the most caring and wonderful hosts! They really look out for everybody and are very chill and flexible. We felt very-very welcome.

This hostel is perfect. Ryan and Katya have a gift for hospitality! I stayed a night longer than planned because I didn't want to leave. The included breakfast was so good, there were many places to relax and socialize and the hostel is located in a beautiful area. I would highly recommend this hostel.

Felt like at home!

Just the road if you come by foot/bus. But it’s a detail really.

Property was beautiful right in nature with a stream running down the backyard to sit and watch. Room was comfortable and only had 6 beds and the owners were super friendly.

Everything. Katja and Ryan make you feel like home from day one. It’s a very peaceful place, a bit way from Bled but closer to the Vintgar Gorge. Buses can drop you near the hostel so that’s ok. I slept very comfortably with the sound of the river. Thank you again for everything!

Lovely staff and gorgeous hostel, made me feel so welcome and were really helpful for suggesting local things to do. Would definitely come back and stay again, was probably the highlight of my trip.

Amazing place, comfortable and impeccably clean, with a great outdoor area / bonfire space. Katya and Ryan were great hosts, incredibly helpful on hikes and logistics. Breakfast is included and is really nice, when I came they had homemade cake with blueberries they had picked

If depending on public transport, bus schedules can be a bit of a constraint. Otherwise it’s a 1-hour walk from Bled

Hosts were super accommodating, so lace had a family vibe. They even put a socket for each bed. Amazing

definitely one of the best hostels i’ve ever been to. i had such an amazing experience - ryan and katja are the best hosts ever. they do such an amazing job bringing people together. it’s clear how much they care about each person’s experience at the hostel and in life. they are so easy to talk to and go far out of their way to make sure everyone is comfortable. 100% recommend and wouldn’t consider anywhere else to stay when i (hopefully) return to bled someday! all the best in the meantime :)

Really awesome spot- right on the river, & when I arrived there was mist over it & it looked magical. Nice facilities and regular beds instead of bunk beds so a bit more comfortable / quiet. Probably the best hostel sleep I’ve gotten! Really nice owners with helpful suggestions, and the price was good. It was a short stay (only 1 night & had to leave early because of the weather forecast), & a great spot if you’ve rented a car & will climb Triglav from Krma Valley.

No negatives! I had a car so it was really easy to park. If you don’t, there might be a bit more walking + public transport.

Great location great staff

This was definitely the best hostel I’ve stayed at and would certainly come again!! Ryan was so welcoming and gave me a full map tour, house tour and rundown on arrival which was super helpful! The facilities were great, very clean, organised and had everything I needed. Not to mention the location was amazing, with hammocks and seating set up by the river - the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and a book! They also provided a free breakfast every morning with great food such as homemade banana bread, eggs, toast, cereal, fruit, vegetables, coffee, tea, juice, etc! Katija and Ryan also offer rides for 5€ which can be very handy! My only initial hesitation I had when booking this hostel was the distance from town, however I found it wasn’t an issue at all once I was there and the bus system was easy. And the walk from the bus stop to the hostel was so beautiful anyway! Thank you so much Ryan and Katija for a lovely stay!!😊

Absolutely nothing!!

Breakfast was very delicious. I really appreciated the hand made cakes.

Everything! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the building is cozy and welcoming, and the plethora of outdoor seating options (even hammocks by the river) were simply amazing. I loved the location so near Vintgar gorge, too! I will absolutely return here, it was just what I needed.

Beautiful house with a chill riverside vibe and a great location for visiting Vintgar Gorge. It was my first hostel experience ever, and I’m glad I chose this place. I also really appreciated how friendly Katja and Ryan were :) super kind and easy to talk to! They also offer a pickup service, which was a huge help.

A wonderful place where you truly feel at home! Katya and Ryan are amazing hosts, always available and happy to help. Don’t hesitate to ask them anything — their tips for buses, hikes, and local activities are super helpful. Two bikes are available for rent at just €5 each, which is a great deal, and both are in excellent condition. The setting is beautiful: a small river runs through the garden, ideal for cooling off after a long hike. There are hammocks and lounge chairs to relax in, and a cozy campfire in the evening — perfect for meeting other travelers. There’s also a very well-equipped kitchen available, perfect if you enjoy cooking during your stay. I truly recommend this place — it was a highlight of our trip! P.S. If you can stay more than one night, go for it! Everyone who only stays one night ends up wishing they had stayed longer

Friendly
