Its proximity to the ocean, not only means it\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/best-surf-spots-around-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">great surf spot<\/a>, but also provides a solid reminder of the impact we all have on our fragile ecosystem. Built in 1854, this Grade II listed building is historically significant but challenged the team who were determined to make their hostel as sustainable as can be. Nevertheless, they adapted absolutely everything and impressively this hostel runs entirely on renewable electricity. Pioneering in so many ways this hostel is plastic-free and is working towards the whole of St. Ives becoming \u2018Plastic Free Accredited\u2019. Working with carbon-offsetting organisations, they encourage travellers to offset their journey to the hostel with a \u2018Plant-A-Tree\u2019 programme, with the aim to plant 2,500 trees by 2025. They\u2019re also proudly part of the \u2018Toilet Twinning\u2019 initiative, which basically means all 3 hostel shower blocks and toilets are twinned with and funded similar facilities in developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"cta_buttons\"\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/submit.link\/hostelworld\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"button orange\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"text-color: #FFF; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>VOTE for Cohort Hostel<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Distant-Relatives-Ecolodge-and-Backpackers\/Kilifi\/67490\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Distant Relatives Ecolodge &amp; Backpackers<\/a> (Kenya)<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-128466 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Distant-Relatives-1149x875.jpg\" alt=\"two women chatting by a fruit stand near Distant Relatives Ecolodge &amp; Backpackers hostel ,nominated for extraordinary sustainable hostels\" width=\"1149\" height=\"875\"><\/p>\n<p>Immersed in nature, Distant Relatives Ecolodge &amp; Backpackers is a travelling lover of the natural world\u2019s paradise. The hostel overlooks the emerald waters of Kilifi Lagoon and has the clear waters on Bofa beach nearby. The team\u2019s passion for preserving the planet is visible, perhaps boasting the world\u2019s only \u2018Dorm-A-Tree\u2019, a dorm with a tree at its centre, piercing through the roof. Certified by Ecotourism Kenya, they stand by the \u2018Reduce, Reuse, Recycle\u2019 philosophy. Their rooftop water tank collects rain, which is filtered and fills their swimming pool, powers showers, and is channelled into banana circles, where the banana trees soak up the water and retain it in their roots. Glass bottles are used both decoratively and functionally, and locally collected tyres were used to build their Bandas and Beach Volleyball Court. Their organic gardens are filled with fruit trees and their toilets are fully compostable supporting the plants\u2019 growth and minimising water usage in this drought-affected region. There\u2019s so much more this hostel does to protect the planet, and they\u2019d be happy to teach you their ways as they\u2019re global educators on the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"cta_buttons\"\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/submit.link\/hostelworld\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"button orange\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"text-color: #FFF; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>VOTE for Distant Relatives<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Welcommon-Hostel\/Athens\/290368\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">WELCOMMON HOSTEL<\/a> (Greece)<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-128589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Welcommonoutside-1166x875.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"826\"><\/p>\n<p>Backpackers stay at Welcommon Hostel for that real money-can&#8217;t-buy experience.

So much more than a place to sleep, the team here welcome everyone and that\u2019s how it\u2019s become a social hub for travellers, refugees, migrants, remote workers, locals and students. They live their sustainable values, but also educate and create change in the world, and have an impressive awards collection to prove it. They created a laboratory for eco-friendly projects, supporting people in reducing energy and poverty. This hostel has become a driving force in changing the way so many think about the environment and teaching them to act upon it, hosting seminars and training around 300 teachers, and thousands of young people too. It goes without saying that you\u2019ll find this hostel\u2019s own environmental practices outstanding, but it\u2019s their mission to teach the world that wowed the judges.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"cta_buttons\"\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/submit.link\/hostelworld\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"button orange\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"text-color: #FFF; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>VOTE for Welcommon Hostel<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Salty-Jackal-Backpackers-and-Surf-Camp\/Swakopmund\/285339\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Salty Jackal Backpackers &amp; Surf Camp<\/a> (Namibia)<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-128468 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Happy-surfers-583x875.jpg\" alt=\"Man with surfboard by Salty Jackal Backpackers &amp; Surf Camp, Namibia - nominated for nominated for extraordinary sustainable hostels\" width=\"583\" height=\"875\"><\/p>\n<p>Sustainable living and surfing are at the heart of the Salty Jackal lifestyle. Born way back in the 1960s this hostel\u2019s origin story features the bartering of an upcycled surfboard, and true to their heritage they turn old things into new useful things or works of art. Based in the Namibian coastal town of Swakopmund, the vibe is laid back, but they\u2019re well-versed in water conservation with The Namib Desert on it its doorstep. Their organic garden is filled with olives, vegetables and herbs, where nothing is wasted as everything not served up to hungry guests, gets sold in local markets. Salty Jackal is plastic-free, uses energy-efficient lighting, and all waste is composted. Plus, when you visit, you\u2019ll be encouraged to explore on one of the hostel\u2019s bikes or take a board to the ocean.
