Huge thanks to kellyroxannesmith who very kindly PMd me with the details as I'm a bit behind this morning, bad night's sleep, as she says she's not confident in posting but Kelly it's perfect, thank you so much.

Day 23 and it's TREASURE HUNT time! Your aim: to name the HOSTEL from HostelBookers' website.
Clue 1: This country is particularly proud of its cowboys, but they go by a different name (answer - argentina)
Clue 2: This city is football crazy and the Hand of God was born here (answer - I would say Buenos aires which is where Diego Maradona was brought up though his birthplace according to wiki was Lanus, but hostelbookers don't have any hostels there)

Final clue alert: The spectacled character from the fictional town of Springfield has a name similar to this hostel.

He's called Millhouse! If they're talking about Barts friend or is the Christian next door neighbour? What's his name? Ned Flanders!
Time to put thinking caps on and have a mooch : )

Anisceline

Milonga Hostel?

completely confused. According to comments on the facebook page there are 2 that sound similar & you can choose either one or even enter both but I can't find any similar ones

thetoothfairy

The answer is:

Milhouse Avenue

AND/OR

Milhouse Hostel

Yes odd isn't it! When I searched, I noticed that it autofills arrival date and it was autofilling to something like 24th/25th December...I wondered if tmany of the hostels might either be closed or fully booked on those dates, so changed it to a random date in January.

Maybe that explains it?!

Anisceline

Damn I didn't see it on the list either like Liz, due to autofill, A*se!!

Tooth Fairy you are a genius, I didn't think that would be a factor at all! x
