Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Gran Chimú Coliseum is 13 km away and Mansiche Stadium is 13 km from the hostel.

This is a really nice small hostel. The kitchen is well equipped the bathrooms are clean and the rooms as well and the wifi is working well as well. Since they also run a surf school and many things are run by volunteers (greetings to Margaux, you did great job) you will most probably meet many enthusiastic surfers, which is great! Really recommended stay in Huanchaco.

    The hostel has the perfect location. Waking up you can already hear and see the sea. The staff is super friendly and creates a great atmosphere where you feel at home immediately! Surfboards can be rented for cheap the whole day.

    Great location, very friendly staff and a very relaxed vibe. Had some surf lessons with Randall who works at the hostel and they were excellent. The breakfast options were also the best I’ve had on my travels in South America, and the lunch and dinner was good and well priced too.

    The hostel is really great. Well equipped big kitchen, lots of communal areas where you can hang out and socialize, but also enough more cosy private spaces with hammocks. Dorm was spacious, clean, comfy bed and had curtains on the beds. Only 1 minute away from the ocean and one of the best hostels I have stayed in so far in Peru!!

    The atmosphere at this hostel was really special! The family who run it make it like feel like a home. They are super welcoming and it was easy to mix the the few other backpackers there due to its size. Jon can do surf lessons with you - he was a great teacher! The kitchen is well equipped so we made breakfast together every night which was really special. Chill vibes here, it’s know for having parties but we didn’t have any in my time there which suited me.

    Amazing, unsuspecting hostel - we weren’t expecting much but were very pleasantly surprised. The hostel had unlimited coffee in the morning, a great atmosphere, cheap yoga and loads of places to chill. We had a great few days relaxing.

    Super nice place and super helpful and friendly owner. We were able to check in very early in the morning as we arrived with the night bus from Huaraz - without any additional fees - highly appreciate that. Further, it was possible to leave our luggage in the Hostel for a few hours after check out. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a cozy, budget-friendly room in a great location.
