We backpacked for 5 weeks, and never had an issue with any hostel we stayed at. When we got here, the owners took hold of my passport, and insisted we had booked for four people when there were only two of us. They then told us they would switch our room, and we could stay in a 12 person dorm,... More

When we arrived at the office in the city center the lady got our keys and started showing us the way. All she said in English was "up up" It took us almost 30 minutes to climb up with suitcase and the stairs never ended. Even after you reached the very top and there was a main road on top... More

I'll keep this short and sweet: we booked two beds in a six bed mixed dorm with a shared bath. We understood that it was a busy weekend in September, but we were shuttled off to some other property, where within two adjoining rooms, there were about 20 people. There was one bathroom for the 20 of us, and there... More

Here is our experience with this place... The directions on how to get there were pretty poor but there's one main street in Riomaggiore so we found the main office rather fast. The owner who spoke very minimal English told us to follow her....up and up and up the hill (Riomaggiore is one huge hill). After about 10 minutes of... More

We reserved online! When we got to the adress, a man waited for us, had our reservations, and walked all the way up( almost 400 steps!) with us, even helped me with my luggage! Yeah it's a tiring walk up, but the view of the vignard and sea is very nice. The room is okay, one bed and cupboards, although... More

We were expecting a hostel however when we were finally shown to our room it was up a huge hill quite a way out of the main village and in some ones house. The guy was very rude and confronting when he realised this was not what we had expected. That night we awoke to bed bugs galore and many... More

Before all, the person who runs this hotel is a crook which is why he asks for everything in cash. We were 4 and called to book 2 rooms and were not told that we would be given 2 rooms in a 3 person house which meant sharing with another couple. This included sharing a bathroom. The owners used to... More

I booked this hostel for me and my friends for late April, but since it was going to rain in the Cinque terre we decided to wait some weeks and we asked the reception to postpone our booking to may 22nd. They guy on the phone said it wouldn't be a problem and that they had plenty of rooms available,... More

This was a very inexpensive place that my friends and I stayed in for one night. We booked an 8-bedroom door, but we got a 3-bedroom house. Our room only had 5 beds (3 twins and 1 double), another room had three beds and the other room also had 3 or 4 beds. This was not a problem, but it... More
