Epic Vibes and Activities

I traveled with 14 other climbers and the atmosphere at Timbuktu Hostel was very nice! The communal areas were perfect for hanging out after a day of climbing, complete with games, hammocks, and even musical instruments. Marco arranged for our dorms to be private, making the experience feel even more special. I’ve stayed in 5-star hotels that were less comfortable!

Delicious Homemade Meals

Marco's mom hosted a workshop where we made the most amazing arancini ever! The food was not just a meal; it was an experience. Plus, the kitchen was the cleanest and best equipped I've ever seen in a hostel. I loved being able to use fresh herbs from the garden for cooking. Truly, the dining options here made my stay lovely.

So Much Fun!

Every night, Timbuktu Hostel had different entertainment like karaoke nights and live music, which made the stay so lively and fun! The energy in the common spaces was just unbeatable, and I met so many amazing people. If you're looking for a great place to unwind and socialize, this is it!

Super Comfortable Beds

I must highlight the comfortable beds! Each room in Timbuktu has air conditioning and privacy curtains, creating a cozy and personal space. After a long day of adventures, it was such a pleasure to come back to such a lovely and well-kept room. I’ve never felt this relaxed in a hostel before!
