The plan was that I stay only one night, but after 3 nights there I felt still sorry that I have to leave. I want to come back there again. Thank you!:-)

Really nice place just across the road from the beach. Chilled out and has a nice common area. I don't usually pick up on these things, but my only complaint was that the same hair was on the soap holder in the upstairs bathroom for 5 days.

This is a great place to stay with very nice staff. Its right across from the beach and in the centre of town. I'd go back!

Good and quiet location. The rooms are basic but clean and spacious. Shared bathrooms are clean. There is a large lounge area with many sofas. They organize surfing courses. We took the course and our peruvian teacher was very good and helpful. The staff felt really outside and bored. We didn't get any kind of information on how the things (breakfast etc) work in the hostel. It felt like you have to be really active and talkative to get service. Or part of "the surfer community".

We were disappointed there was no fridge available in the communal kitchen and after being told we could use the staff fridge we went out to buy some meat then came back and were told we were not allowed to use the staff fridge. The main reason we stayed there was because they had a kitchen. Besides this, it had a great vibe and location.

The WORSE.I made a reservation for 1night and when I checked in I asked for dorm available(my 1night was for a privete).The mananger said "yes, tomorrow you can change to the other room".then in the other day around 10:30 was looking for her to ask what time I should move.She was REALLY rude and said that was no dorm available anymore because a guy that was supposed to leave didnt leave.no help to find another place to stay(GO TO SUDAMERICA - AWESOME).also,breakfast is NOT INCLUDED.
