Desert Nights Hostelling International Reviews

Awesome food and drinks - do not go anywhere else, you'll only be disappointed. The staff is funny and entertaining, their tours are the best. Beds are ok, so are the bathrooms.

staff were great and very helpful. the information desk to book trips was good. food nice and big portions-

Cheap place to stay although the food is expensive and there is no breakfast included. There are small safes in the room however the rooms are not locked and it seems as though anyone can walk in. I left my sunglasses for 5 mins and they were stolen.

The best place to stay in this town unless you want to spend a fortune on the fancy hotel next door that charges 20soles for use of their pool if you are at Desert Nights. There{s a more hip pool that only costs 10 soles and has a nice little bar and some tunes going on. The only draw back to Desert Nights was the SLOW internet and the fact that some of the showers were cold. Otherwise, the restaurant was great and reasonably priced. Staff were super friendly and always around. Great vibe.

The lockers in the rooms are too small to store any bigger bags. They can only fit about your wallet and passport. The beds were horrrible. Everytime I moved or if the person below me moved just the tiniest bit, the bed would shake. The showers are located in the same room as the bathrooms, not a problem. But these bathrooms are also used by guests of the restaurant. So no privacy at all, cause changing is only possible outside the shower stall. But the staff was very kind!

Perfect location right on the oasis, the food from here is amazing. The sand buggy / sand boarding tour is awesome and great value for money. Really fun stay for a night or two. The dorms are massive and comfortable. Highly recommend.

This place was great. The food was decently priced, the desert tour was great, the people were good and it was just a nice place. Defiantly recommend staying.

Helpful staff for tours and infomation, one of the busiest hostels on the oasis. Great sand buggy and boarding tour available, the driver i had was great fun! But the beds are uncomfortable which pinch the spin the next day.

Nice hostel, good location, excellent restaurant

Nice hostel,excellent value for money, handy safes and good location. No breakfast included but attached restaurant has reasonable prices.

Fun, friendly, cheap, good hot showers and comfy beds, a lounge/tv chillout area

Great hostel right next to the lagoon - the attached restaurant does the best milkshakes in south america! rooms are hot at night but the facilities are good and the hostel's sandboarding tour was brilliant! would stay here again.

This hostel was great-- right next to the lagoon, friendly and funny staff, and excellent food and drinks-- except for one little problem: bugs. Two of the beds in our 6 person room were infested with bed bugs and the girls I was with got bitten like crazy! One of them moved down to sleep on the floor only to realize that there was also a cockroach problem. For the price, it was not a bad place to stay, but it's definitely something to be aware of!

Very good value with very friendly and helpful staff, in a perfect location. The four computers need updating though - you will be lucky if one of them works for more than ten minutes, and bathrooms are slightly inadequate with only one shower and one wash basin, and drains are a bit smelly. Food in restaurant is good, and it's a great place to meet people - everyone eats here even if they are staying somewhere else.

This hostel is great . although it did rain while we were out sandboarding and came back to a flooded hostel so best not leave your bags on the floor if you dont want wet stuff...... Did the sandboarding through the hostel which was really good!

the room is so hot. I can't fall asleep due to the heat. I felt that I was staying in a steam bath room in the spa treatment. As their name, we had Desert Nights.

there was no kitchen to cook smthg or just to take a cheap breakfast.. we only had drinks at the hostel and food in other places cheaper. The restaurant lend us some cooking stuff, very nice of them! and the night is only 15soles (hostelworld says it's more) a bit hot at night and the fence is noisy. very handy to have 3 computers with free internet access! don't book the tours through the hostel, you can find much cheaper!

Staff are really good and helped out with anything you needed. The hostel itself was average, the rooms were really hot and the beds uncomfortable. Wi-fi worked well and the shower in the private bathroom was good, the others not so much. The on-site restaurant looked good but we stuck to the cheaper ones.

This was a nice hostel in a very good location right on the Lagoona. The Sandboarding & Dune Buggy trip out of the hostel was excellent and very good value for money. I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay here.

Very central hostel looking out on lake. Dorms were fine, fairly standard but cheap. Definitely picked up insect bites at this hostel but can't be sure if it was due to sand or bed sheets. We took sandboarding tour with this hostel and we choose slightly more expensive board rental. They neglected to tell me with this option I was expected to have boardi.g experience, which I did not. There was no lesson just parked at top of dune and let you off! Other option was simply sliding on ur belly.
