The Blue Cow Backpackers Reviews

Fantastic hostel! Great location, very clean and spacious, has a super friendly atmosphere and makes you feel at home from the very first seconds. Great facilities: fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, dryer, hairdryer, wi-fi, everything one might ever need - seriously, I could have lived there on a regular basis! Special thanks to the hostess Kristine - such a sweetheart, a genuine heart and soul of the place! Highly recommended and looking forward to coming back there again! :o)

My third trip here, you can chill or get involved with some diversion, but this place never fails to live up to expectations.

good located, big room, a really really warm welcome and good tips from the hostelsTeam (where eating, where going out) :-DDD

we had a very nice time at your wonderful hostel, thanks

This hostel is awesome! It's got a huge living room area which just invites people in and it doesn't have too many rooms so isn't too busy either. Whether you're quiet or loud you won't feel out of place here. It's also very clean and well kept, it has everything you need and a personality go with it!

Very pleasant stay at this lovely hostel in a prime position on the edge of the old town. Comfortable lounge, great kitchen, bathroom fine and free laundry facilities. Host was great and very informative. Above all the beds were comfortable and large enough for 1.9m individual :-)

Definitely, one of the best hostels ever and for sure the cleanest one!The place is really nice and welcoming, you feel at home since the moment you cross the door. The location is perfect to visit the city, to go out at night and to arrive from the bus station too! Kristine was very nice and willing to help us with everything we needed. The only thing I would add is the breakfast but, you know, nobody is perfect ;)

Thank you for a great hostel experience. The Blue cow was a great place to stay. Thanks for all the help and information.

Great hostel. The stuff was super nice and helpful with giving advise on our trip around. The room was very clean and the overall place organized and cozy. We liked the hostel almost as much as the city :D Looking forward to going back for the summer!

If you are a freak for cleanliness, this place is for you ! The place is speck free and not even a patch of worn off paint on any of the walls. The place is quiet, so a peaceful night is guaranteed after a long day. There are ample couches and you can have your own corner to indulge in your reading pleasures. The place is well equipped with washing machines, fully furnished kitchen etc. Staff is helpful and gentle. The location is also nice - about 15 minutes walk from old city centre.

Lovely hostel. Rooms furnished to a high standard. Warm and welcoming. Everything we wanted was in walking distance.

Excellent atmosphere, very good stuff, would definitely recommed - very home-like.

Chilled out hostel in a great location on the edge of the old town. Staff very helpful with suggestions & recommendations.

really the best hostel i've ever visited

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! From the cleanliness of the whole hostel, to the massive private room with ensuite, the location and of course the very hospitable hosts Gonita & Ben who gave great recommendations where to eat, see and of course bobsledding in Sigulda! Thank you so much and if I am ever back in Riga I sure will be booking at this hostel again! Maybe for the blond parade in May :)

Probably one of the best, if not the best, hostel i've ever been to!!

Absolutely the best hostel I've ever stayed in. It's even better than my own home.

Best hostel I've ever stayed in :)

This was definitely the best hostel I've ever stayed in. When we arrived it felt so homely that I thought I was standing in someone's living room. Very friendly environment, and location smack in the middle of town. I would definitely recommended to anyone! Thank you for a wonderful stay, even if just for one night!

I stayed in this hostel two nights - one night on each end of my holiday elsewhere- I had one of those torturous 20 hour layovers bookending my trip. I was so impressed- this hostel is directly in Old Town, Riga which is a great place to stay- easy walking to multiple sites. Also, the staff was really sweet and gave great suggestions for things to do and places to eat- budget pelmeni and pancake places just around the corner. Great stay!
