The Green Key - an ecolabel for sustainable tourism

Green Key is an international eco-tourism label awarded to hotels, hostels, etc. Green Key is represented in more than 25 countries.

 

We are a Green Key hostel. This means that we make an extra effort to protect the environment and the climate by living up to Green Keys strong environmental standards. We make it easier for you to take care of the environment without sacrificing your experience and comfort.

 

Green Key hotels and hostels include introducing environmental management, reducing energy and water consumption, waste separation, using environmentally friendly detergents and cleaning agents, promoting organic products, avoiding chemical weed control products and much more.

If you choose a Green Key hostel or hotel, you automatically protect the environment.
A Green Key certification is awarded for only 12 months, after which it must be renewed. A certified inspector visits us as part of the process.
