Hostal Backpackers Reviews

We loved our time there, the owner took time to meet us and shake our hands and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone I meet!

Best asset of the hostel is the staff, specially Hugo Mackay

We stay for few days, friendly staff, but the kitchen could be better eqipped. BBQ events are very good here. Unfortunately there is only one computer for internet using for too many hostel guests.

Everything was ok, nothing special

Great place! Cheap, clean and the hosts are awesome. They will help you with everything you need! I definitely recommend this.

What a great place! Nothing fancy, but then what do you expect when it´s so dirt cheap?! Staff were amazingly helpful, tour company right next door, had a wonderful Xmas there!

the people were so nice, the hostel is so well located. The hostal coud have some improving, new stuff in the kitchen, or new blankets, but the home enviromment and the people are totally worth it

We had a great stay !! thanks to the staff for the hospitality (Etienne you are the best!!) It was dirt cheap, nice beds, good atmosphere. Backpackers! head here!!!!

The young french-guy was very helpful and accommodating. The guides who did the volcano trip were great too. The owner subscribes to the "hard sale", as long as your questions invovle one of his guided tours he will make time for you. If you try to get information to do somethings unguided on your own, he's too busy. I showed the manager how I can get into my locked room faster with butter knife then my key, offered a quick, cheep solution, but they did nothing to fix room #1.

Did not enjoy my stay here. It was dark and the kitchen smelt like rotting feijoas. Would not recommend and would not stay here again. Most of the staff are nice, but the place itself was depressing. Also I met some other travellers who said they found a rat in their room.

The staff are excellent, very friendly and helpful. The hostel provides the best price in town for excursions. The place is very dark, and while the communal space is charming and very warm, with a log stove, the rooms are cold and damp. The place is quite run down, and the kitchen is a bit grim - it´s actually clean, but old and unappealing- However, the staff do make up for the negative aspects and go out of their way to make you feel at home.

Really good, we felt like our home, the staff was amazing, on the saturday had a barbecue for all guests and the hostel has also a agency to do the tours. I really recommend.

It ia a nice hostel! Backpackers have two hostels next to each other but it is not realy the same owner. Elisabeht and Eric ar a realy kind famili they live in top of the hostal and ar the hole time responsible!

Very warm and cosy with 2 log fires and loads of character. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we were able to arranhe tours & volcano climbs with them. The showers were HOT and the rooms comfortable, Definately recommend plus it was a very central location. Definately recommended.

very helpful and friendly Staff(special Owner Claudio), thank you very much!

The hostel is well located in Pucon. The staff are all very friendly and very helpful. The hostel has an associated travel agency which means they can easily organise everything you need so as to not waste any time searching for activities.
