Goodbye Lenin Hostel Zakopane

Looking for a place to escape the city, reconnect with nature and hike your ass off? Look no further!
Hidden away in the forest, yet still very accessible, there’s a magical place called Good Bye Lenin.
The main hostel is a beautiful cabin build in 1909. It’s cosy living room with free breakfast makes for the perfect place to start the day. And what better way to end an adventure filled day than with a cold beer and some delicious food from our BBQ.
Our hostel is in the middle of nature, yet the nearest bus into town (and to the Morski Oko lake), mini market and entry to the national park are just a 5 minute walk away.
Hiking, climbing, mountain biking... you name it, lots of adventure sports are possible here.
Sometimes, however, it is time to relax. Mao (the hostel cat) needs cuddling and Majka (the hostel goat) is always up for a deep conversation. Reenergize for the next day of endless fun.
To get a taste of what your stay at Goodbye Lenin could be like, just have a look at our Facebook page ‘Zakopane Goodbye Lenin Hostel’. Or better yet, join our team!

I am really honored to have this possibility to ask such great people like backpackers to help me. We had many volunteers working with us and until now everybody was really happy. The first 4 years of running the hostel I lived with volunteers in the same room so many of them became my friend and we are still in touch. Lots of them are coming back...Right now there are 2 people helping me, that are already 3th time over the last 3 years and are staying for mounts. I think this is because the love the place :) And about myself... I run the hostel since 5 years, before I was addicted traveler myself, now I turned more into the outdoor sports, I love climbing, ski-mountaineering, horseriding. And since 8 months I am a happy mummy of my little baby boy Andrzej. Dont hesitate to join our GBL family :)

Que hermoso es este lugar💖 Zakopane es el lugar mas lindo que visité en mi vida y sin dudas Marzena tiene el hostal que tiene por como es ella manejandolo, es un hogar. Se siente hogar cuando vas como huesped y cuando en realidad estas viviendo y trabajando ahi. Trabajas las 19 horas como dice, las tareas son simples y se aprenden muy rápido, nuestra habitacion es un hermoso atico lleno de hostorias y algunos dias de la semana tambien tenés cenas que da el hostal. Sin dudas recomiendo esta experiencia y volveré algun dia💖 Gracias Marzena y equipo✨

A very cozy hostel, nestled among the trees in the Tatras. An amazing experience to connect with international travelers and explore the Tatra Mountains. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The workload is not to much and the owner, Marzena gives ample amount of time off. A beautiful hostel to come back to repeatedly. Thank you for allowing me to stay for three ish months.

My experience at Good Bye Lenin was more than perfect. It was my first volunteering and my first trip alone and I couldn't have chosen a better place. This volunteering is located in a beautiful town full of forests where you can do several hikes with impressive views and different levels of difficulty. The hostel became my second home and the coexistence with all the volunteers was very nice and fun. The work isn't complicated and you learn quickly.The owner Marzena is a very kind and hard-working person who makes you feel comfortable from the first moment and explains it to you with patience
