Summary of traveller reviews

Hostel Sàmara in Playa Samara is praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, particularly Annie. Guests love the central location, just a short walk from the beach and amenities. The property is noted for its cleanliness and well-equipped kitchen. It's a tranquil, chill hostel, ideal for those seeking a relaxed atmosphere rather than a party scene. Some guests mentioned occasional insects in rooms and a lack of hot water for dishes, but these were generally seen as minor issues.

So clean and comfortable here. Loved my stay.AC in the room and big lockers too. Laundry was fast and affordable too. If you want a more quiet and chill hostel then stay here. It’s def not a party hostel. In Samara which is a chill town anyway, this hostel fits right in. Close to everything. Highly recommended.

Perfect location in the centre of Sámara , beds were clean and comfy. We had some bugs in the shower which wasn’t the most squeaky clean and the water was only cold but this did not inconvenience us at all as some minor flaws are to be expected in a Hostel. Annie is such a sweet and welcoming person and gave us a lot of tips about our future travels. We had arrived a day late due to health problems and Annie was so understanding and helpful about it. One of the best Hostels I’ve stayed at!
