There is nothing black in Black Sheep, nice place to satisfactory value and service for your money.

The bed was good, privacy unbroken. It was nice I had a charging point to myself, a cool spot for my phone and easy to reach switch for my private lighting. I didn't do breakfast, though was available because I came with my lunch pack and could use the kitchen easily. Bed, breakfast room, no sweat at all. Kudos to you guys. God bless you all.

The name Black Sheep did not sound good the first time I saw your hostel online. I guess White Sheep may help remove the initial shock you feel hearingBlack sheep... Yes, the Internet was breaking, I would suggest you either upgrade of offer other options.

Top notch hostel for a 2 day stay in Killarney

The homeliness of this hostel is something that you dont get anymore. It was lovely to have conversation and laughs with the staff and the guests. This is the most fully equipped kitchen I have seen and every room is well cleaned. Nice garden and chickens out the back with a couple of rescue dogs are friendly touches that add to the atmosphere. Will definitely stay here again 😊

Social hostel and perfect place for a solo traveller.

Very cosy and homey hostel, loved the free breakie in the morning. Added bonus was the cafe next door, with good coffee! Also big shoutout to Elsa for helping us out with some Cardboard for our hitchhiking adventures.

Amazing hostel with warm and friendly staff and great spaces to unwind.

Great property right in town. The space is so well curated and has a wonderful vibe. The garden is also cool!

9.0 / 10.0

Cool place, perfect location. Would stay again.

Enjoyed the style and vibe, petting the dogs, checking out the back garden. The room was comfortable and the location of the hostel is perfect! Staff and volunteers are helpful. The breakfast was healthy and it was great to talk to other travellers and staff/volunteers in the dining room.

Temperature fluctuations in the room and a bit of a musty smell, however, the windows could be opened and closed so it wasn’t an issue.

My place in Killarney

Almost everything, especially the attitude (environment!), the atmosphere and many details (they provide even spices in the kitchen).

Almost nothing (it's okay, that the staff is sometimes busy 😜)

10.0 / 10.0

Would stay again for sure :)

Really nice hostel. Plenty of space to sit and plenty of room in the kitchen for more than one person to cook at a time. Comfy beds with individual power sockets and light. Great breakfast too! Right in town too. Lots of parking (free car park is very full during the day), even if it is the car park that’s a few minutes walk away that you have to pay for.

Bed numbers could have been on the lockers too. I felt that being on the top bunk I shouldn’t have been left with a locker right at the bottom bunk persons face. Due to the small space between bunks I felt like my face was only 30cm away from the bottom bunk person whenever I needed to access my bag.

Human Zoo Exhibition

The staff is very friendly, the garden is gorgeous, breakfast is included, the room is wheelchair accessible.

The "private room" is horrible. It. Consists of a bedroom with a large glass front oriented directly into the hostel garden/a busy pathway outside and common area, effectively turning it into a human zoo exhibition. The room offers curtains, which means you can choose between daylight and privacy, as there are no other windows. We could not stay here for this reason and ended up booking a different accommodation within an hour of arriving here.

A gorgeous, homey hostel that feels so comfortable and provides great spaces for relaxing and connecting. Hands down my

This property was AMAZING! The staff were so kind, the hostel was adorable and had everything you could think of needing for a homey-stay. I loved the dogs, the garden, the style of the kitchen and common spaces. The bunk beds were spacious and well designed and the living spaces were thoughtfully put together to help foster connection between travellers. The quotes and little knicknacks were so cute.

I wish a towel was included in the stay!

Best hostel I've been to.

Breakfast is included and is royal. I have never had this range and quality in a hostel before: there are different cereals, white yoghurt, different jams, peanut butter and chocolate spread and fruit to choose from. Eggs are available from the chickens in the garden. The staff bakes amazing fresh bread each day (!!) The kitchen has all facilities needed (incl an oven and 4 stoves). The kitchen was always clean! The bunkbeds are great and spacious, with good curtains, 2 electricity plugs, a shelf and a light. The ensuite bathroom was always clean as well. The hostel has a nice garden. Bikes can be rented at the hostel. Again these are well maintained with 21 gears. Perfect for discovering the NP. There are usually multiple members of staff present (reception, preparing in the kitchen, running "the household",.... ) Big thumbs up for the well maintained facilities by the staff. Your work and presence have been seen and appreciated ! They are so kind and always avaibable for help or questions!

A true youth hostel, no notes!

I don’t know if I was just very tired from the outdoor activities I was doing during the day, but this was one of the most comfortable beds I had in Ireland. I had a top bunk in the Greece room. Breakfast was great too and the coffee shop is wonderful. I also really appreciated their commitment to sustainability. Would definitely stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

Highly recommended

Very friendly staff, loved the complimentary breakfast, especially the eggs. Good location, nice sitting room, a lot of interesting things to discover, the dogs were very cute. I liked that the rooms had a bit more privacy due to the curtains. Everything was clean.

Sharing one shower and one toilet with six people was a bit stressful sometimes, but I see that that can't easily be fixed. Wifi connection could be a bit stronger, but was fine for basic messaging etc.

Thanks for a nice stay, clean and friendly.

Staff were lovely. It's clean, eco friendly, healthy breakfast. Warm rooms, no noise. Location easy to access the main street and events. Was guided through the hostel and shown my room. You strip your own bed when leaving. Thanks for a lovely stay.

They don't tell you they ask for €10 deposit for the key. I didn't have cash so they kept my ID as deposit instead. I requested a top bunk but someone was in it when shown the room, they did find me a different room instead . Breakfast didn't have alot of options and ran out of O.J Its eco friendly, which is good but don't expect stylish beds..

The best place I stayed in Ireland

The location was great. It's close to the bus station and the national park. The staff at the hostel was incredibly friendly and helpful if needed be. The interior of the hostel is charming and colourful.

Cozy to the Max

Very cozy and chill staying, at the Black Sheep Hostel! Fantastic relax room with a fireplace, clean kitchen and breakfast room (the breakfast Is include and so Is the use of the kitchen). The defining quality Is the laid back atmosphere and calm environment. (Writing in January, I don't know about High season but I think It wont change that much). The cons are the bathroom Is divided between too much people, which I can see becoming a little problem when the hostel Is full, and the fact that the Locker Is not a given. However, as I said, the general mood will encourage you to leave the door open, as the Locker, and don't worry too much. The staff was always ready to help and give info or assistance. I'm glad of my choice.

The heaters could have been a little warmer but to me that was no problem at all.

Great hostel and great people - at least mostly...

I liked how easy it was to socialize, with very cosy spaces like the living room or the garden tent. The kitchen was very well equipped and free eggs and pasta were an amazing touch. It also felt safe to leave the bags in before check in. Overall the beds were very comfortable and the amount of bathrooms too. The trips to the Gap of Dunloe the hostel organised are worth checking out, and the distance to Killarney Riding Stables is walkable.

One of my roommates was extremely rude and 'greeted me' with swearing every morning, and due to the fact she was significantly older I was intimidated and asked reception for help in the issue, but they gave the impression they didn't care to address it because the woman was a regular customer of theirs, and that apparently her swearing me off is a cultural difference. I will definitely call in to make sure I'm not put in the room with her again if I travel to Black Sheep in the future.
