When Guests Find Us Through Printed Travel Guides!

It’s always a special feeling when a traveler walks in right off the street, holding a real, printed book in their hands instead of a smartphone screen.

That’s exactly how we occasionally find out about something we are incredibly proud of — being included in international travel guides! One such wonderful discovery is the Pétaouchnok Travel Guide to Slovenia, published in French.

A guest showed us this guide, and on page 98, we found a beautiful recommendation for Hostel Kobarid. Here is what the authors wrote about us:

“This large house from 1880, located in the heart of Kobarid, has more than one advantage: its dormitory beds have small curtains for extra privacy; its exposed stone kitchen exudes cleanliness: there is a barbecue in the garden and Netflix for rainy evenings. Nothing but good vibes!”

The guide even includes a QR code leading to an online map, allowing readers to jump straight to our website for direct bookings.

We want to say a huge thank you to the creators of the Pétaouchnok guide and to every guest who brings these books to our doorstep. It is a true honor for us to see our 1880 house recognized for its soul and good vibes!

Hostelworld Award 2020

Great quality Score of 9.9 as a Top performer was recieved by our hostel at website Hostelworld. 
Thank you very much for wonderful feedbacks! We are glad we are doing a great job!

Here are some of reviews.

Hands down the best, most impressive hostel I’ve ever enjoyed! I would return to Kobarid, even travel out of my way to return to Kobarid, just for this hostel. The hosts/owners are amazing, friendly, and spirited. They seem truly happy to host people in their place and share their experiences in the Julian Alps with visitors. We visited in mid December, so the town was sleepy and outdoor sports weren’t really happening, but in the right season, the host can take you paragliding. Sport paradise!

USA, Couple, 25-30
