Great place to work remotely and meet interesting and fun people. *Lots* of things to do in the area and the staff are more than happy to help you out with suggestions.

I really want to rate this hostel higher but unfortunately the hostel really needs to crack down and have no tolerance for the sexism and womanising shown by some of the guests and friends of the longer-term residents (and no, being south Italian isn't an excuse for this). Bawdy sex and rape jokes don't have a place in a hostel, especially when they're told at an evening event hosted by the hostel.

I (53 years old woman) arrived here together with my daughter (27 years old). I was quite anxious to stay in the hostel cause I have never stayed in this type of accommodation and my daughter stayed only for one night to help me settle here. I was pleasantly surprised how good my stay was here. From the warm welcome to the very clean room and shared areas. The hostel was very well equipped : the kitchen had everything you could need and more . There were very good lounging spots inside and outside, also a concert on one of the evenings. Everyone was so helpful as I'm not fluent in English and helped me to organise a boat trip. I just want to say that it was one of the best decisions to stay here.

Everything was wonderful.

This place is just magic…. Everything is made and thought with a lot of love. The people, who work here are just amaziiiiing. They bring so much joy, humanity, fun, profesionalism, know how, life experience, different languages, different skills & so much understanding towards every human being. I fell in love with this place. And I got so much inspiration from the people and the space. Yes, San Vito lo Capo has a great nature and great beaches, but I don‘t think I would have ever loved my experience here so much if it wasn‘t for the Hostel and the people + opportunities I met/found here. Here three examples/experiences I had here: 1. The cleaning lady, does not just clean in the hostel, she brings so much joy in this place. If you are lucky & have your breakfast on an early, quiet morning, you may get to see her dancing while cleaning. I enjoyed those moments so much. Such a great human being. And she takes very very good care about the hostels hygiene. It is such a clean hostel. I looved it. 2. They also have a Team, who is active and makes sure, to take you with them on different tours with the boat or hiking,climbing or also offer some great Yoga, Qi Gong, Vinyasa Workshops etc... And the price is so fair, sometimes even free workshops, like for example the rooftop Vinyasa Session, I guess it has been one of the best workshops I have had in my life. Such a young but experienced trainer, amazing…. 3. As you see I could actually write a book about this team and place, but I will close this review by saying: If you are open to new experiences, different point of views, great conversations , sharing your precious time & space with other human beings + have or want to have a good sense of belonging, than this is the place you have to visit. But also, if you feel that you still have some prejudices or open wounds & want to change something in your life or perspective, than I encourage you to take a leap of faith & book your stay here.

I didn‘t like that I haven‘t planned enough time for my staying here. I would have definitely stayed longer. There is nothing one cannot like here, scusi 😎

Since i arrived, i have felt the great vibe of the place, staff hyper cheerful and supportive, always attentive to your welcoming and willing to make sure that your stay is memorable (they even send you an email with all you should know about the town and tips to have a pleasant time there). From the owner to the full staff, this place makes you feel like at the Sicilian Paradise, the building is spotless, super fuctional, and really beautiful, there are different common areas; for the people that want to hang out, for those that want some quiet time and those that are willing to work out (check out the climbing wall!!) And if that is not enough, Marco brews his own Liquors that you can taste at their bar! (I almost forgot to mention that Marco/owner brings fresh drinkable water from the mountains for the joy of the guests.If that is not special, i don't know what could be then). I just want to finish saying that Timbuktu will stay in my heart, and i will always come back. Grazie mille ragazzi! Ci vediamo.

That i had to leave :-(

I will remember my stay in this hostel very fondly. First of all, you can immediately feel the very positive energy of the place, the staff is helpful, always smiling and welcoming. The entire facility is very well equipped, there will be plenty of amenities even for a longer stay. You can feel a nice homely atmosphere and security. Facility is very well-kept and clean. You can meet a lot of new people there and have a great base for exploring the beautiful surroundings. I will recommend Hostel Timbuktu to my friends and I hope to go back there someday! Thank you for an unforgettable stay

Travelling for 20 years & best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I was there 7 nights, made a ton of life long friends of all ages & countries. The activities, vibes & staff were epic. Location is near the bus stop, grocery store & beach. The beds are super comfy, the shower has great water pressure & the internet is good. They’ve even an area for remote workers. This the cleanest & most organised hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I will definitely be back next summer & bringing my friends. Grazie for the hospitality, good vibes and epic memories.

We loved it here so much: Marco and the whole team are just so lovely and absolutely welcoming. The atmosphere in general throughout the hostel is very chill & respectful. Everything is tidy & super clean. Beach, super markets, restaurants & bars are just a few minutes walk away. Yet, we simply loved hanging out at the hostel. We felt home straight away and will certainly come back - thank you for having us! 🫶🏻

The best hostel I’ve stayed in. Spiritual place to relaxe, do yoga, sport and find fine souls. The hostel is a beautiful decorated house with super comfy beds and every room has his own shower and balcony.

The bathroom could be a bit cleaner, but that depends on guys who don’t want to sit while peeing..

Words cannot describe my experience at this hostel. I can definitely say it was the best hostel I've stayed. Everything is clean and tidy and already at the check in you feel very welcome, almost like part of a family. It's not so far from the beach and the hosts are happy to recommend nice hiking trails and beaches around. I will definitely come back and stay more this time!

There's nothing really to share, just that there are only 2 buses from Palermo, so plan to stay long and don't forget sunscreen and repellent...

Excellent stay in a very particular and gorgeous place. Marco and his team open his home to you and it is up to you to make history happen there. Passion is at heart there and you can feel their aim is to make sure you go home with great memories. This spot is a magnet of cool people. Book and don't look back, these guys rock and Etna too;)
