Each room here has a fan and a private bathroom that comes with a shower.

Everything was amazing! Such a gorgeous place, I did want to leave! It was very calm and quiet, and so very relaxing. Close to the beach, and they have bicycles you can use for free to ride into town, which is only like a 10 min ride (or less). They also provide beach towels. It was the little details like that that truly made them a 10/10

My Little House Surf&backpacker Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Montañita. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

Montañita Beach is 200 metres from My Little House Surf&backpacker Hostel, while Olon Beach is 1.5 km from the property.

The overall vibe of this hostel is amazing and I made a lot of friends here. It is cozy, social and the owner (Niko) is very nice and quite funny actually. The dorms are clean and comfortable. It is a 2 minute walk from the beach and also about 5 minutes from all the shops and restaurants and the main part of town. The hostel has Open Bar nights on Mondays and Fridays which are super fun and only $6. It can be noisy on these nights but if you like to drink and socialize, you will enjoy these nights and have a great time. Overall I booked this hostel for one night to see how it is and I ended up staying for 3 weeks.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The only good thing are the hammocks. I will try to be as objective as possible. We arrived at My Little House Surf&backpacker Hostel with a reservation for 4 nights and left the second night. We left because of a very serious problem for any kind of accommodation: not being able to sleep. If you are on a budget and looking for drinking party (with a relation of 5 men for a 1 woman), may be this place can be your best option. Nevertheless, there are other options in Montañita for this price and you should read the rest of this review.

    The staff go over and above here, very helpful in booking a tour to Isla de la Plata and making sure I got there safely. The room was clean and comfortable, with aircon. The kitchen is small but had what we needed. The location is very close to the centre but not too close to the party hostels and bars, so ideal for a quieter stay.

    One of the best hostels we've stayed at in South America. The staff are super friendly and very welcoming, the volunteers chat to everyone so it's a nice place if you are solo travelling. It's a lovely beach vibe hostel. It's away from the hustle and bustle of town so you can chill out in the day and party in the night, they have a pool table, darts, volley ball and a pool so lots of things to keep you entertained. Cheap drinks, amazing food and hot showers. We extended our stay by a week! Would definitely recommend :)

    Kamala is a special place and ticks all the boxes for an exceptional stay: rooms are spacious & cleaned twice a day, hot showers, relax spots all over the hostel, in front of the beach, huge swimming pool, tastiest homemade food, cheap beers & cocktails, staff & volunteers warmly welcoming every single person, free shots, pre-drinking games before joining the pubs & clubs in the center all together, and, the most adorable puppy ‘Ollie’ to play with! I would not hesitate twice before experiencing Kamala!
