Even though it is listed as one of the botique hostels in E. Europe, I didn't find it worthy of all the high ratings. No kitchen to speak of. Rooms were only so-so. Very noisy as it was facing the main road. I've certainly stayed in nicer ones. And if you are off season or shoulder season, just rent a... More

Dear bellevuebabe, thanks for your feedback. As featured on our website we do have an outdoor kitchen with all the things you need to cook, stove and a grill, which you can use. We also have rooms facing the bay and one of them has a private balcony, where you can sit and relax while youre enjoying the view. Thanks... More

Been here two nights in August 2009. It is a very neat hostel, with very friendly staff. A hostel in the true sense of it without the, sometimes, nasty and dirty surprises. Nevertheless, you shall not forget that it is a hostel in one of the most classy islands of Croatia. Bottom line, it's worth the while if you want... More

The Green Lizard promised to be good due to its recommendation in the Lonely Planet guide, however it exceeded any expectations we had. We stayed in a private room with an en suite bathroom and a balcony overlooking the sea. The room and bathroom were very clean and reasonably priced. (If online reservations say they are fully booked it is... More

We promised when we left that we would translate our enjoyment there into a goodreview so here it is- the atmosphere of the place was great, there was a simple outdoor cooking area, two chill out sections (very comfortable bean bags and hammock one side) the rooms were clean and standard dorms. there were lockers. Diane was fantastic and made... More

The Green Lizard is the best hostel we have stayed at in our month of travelling. The ladies who run the hostel are super friendly and helpful, and may even go out on the town with you! There is an outdoor kitchen that makes you feel that going out for food would be utterly stupid, since the kitchen, with its... More

this is one of the best hostels I stayed in. The owner Vanessa is so friendly. The rooms are clean. You can cook and eat outside, different cozy places to sit and enjoy the sea view. It's also a good place to meet other travellers. You really feel welcome here, I think the best place to stay if you visit... More

I'm really surprised at some of the negative comments as we LOVED our 2 night stay here. Understandably we came in a quite time but we had amazing weather and the owner of the hotel spent a long time with us, telling us about the island, where to go, recommendations of local restaurants (Dalmatina's = best meal in Croatia). She... More

We loved our stay here - my friend and i stayed in the private room with own bathroom, the view was amazing, the hostel was great for meeting people. If you have the front rooms they can get a bit noisy but we didnt mind. Always seemed to be someone keen for a beer and chat. Would definitely recommend. More
