Great place. Spacious rooms, clean facility, amazing host. Dave showed us in and immediately started explaining things around town, tips for activities, and great places to eat. He even gave us a small radiator to keep our room warm at night- it helped immensely.

We wait 1H30 in front of the hostel waiting for the owners arrive, so we lost 1H30 of our stay in Dingle. otherwise the room was clean and free wifi is available

Booked a twin room ensuite but instead got a room with 2 sets of bunkbeds (though we did have the room to ourselves) and no ensuite. Found the room cold.

David and Geraldine were very welcoming. David took us to the top of Conor Pass and we were able to hike down on a beautiful afternoon in Dingle. Also great tips for eating and listening to trad music. Great place to stay.

I am not a fan of staying in hostels.....but this hostel feels more like a bed and breakfast. It was very clean, and had a very homey feel to it. The location was absolutely perfect.....close to the bus stop, terrific pubs, restaurants, and shops. It was very clean and I felt perfectly comfortable there. Additionally, the gentleman who owns it is nice as can be. He goes very far out of his way to make sure your entire experience in Dingle is amazing. You should only stay at the Blackberry!

I was in this hostel with my 3 friends, we had private room, which was clean enough and very nice and with comfortable beds, but very cold. Bathroom was even colder, and in shower wasn´t enough hot water for one person in the morning, but the owner was an amazing, he helped us with everything with smille on his face :)

This hostel was excellently located near all of the things to do in Dingle. We arrived late at night, and the hostel manager was extremely kind about it. He even took the time to draw us a map of all the great pubs to visit. My only complaint is that sharing one bathroom was rather difficult, and it wasn't very clean. Other than that minor thing, this was a great first hostel experience. Go here!

The two owners were so friendly and even built us a fire in the evening! He made sure to point out the best pubs and restaurants around town and gave us lots of information about the local sites. The rooms were a really good size and we had a lovely en suite bathroom! There's also a common living room and well stocked kitchen. Overall it was a really nice place to stay.

Really nice little hostel and great for the price. Dave is a very nice host and was most welcoming. If you are looking for something cheap and cheerful look no further.

Only one thing bothered me. We had to be out of the hostel at 10am and we were fully aware of that, however one of the members of staff came knocking on our door at 9.45am, to get up... I just thought that was a little bit too much
