Summary of traveller reviews

Backpacker`s Hostel Iquique offers a fantastic location right by the beach, perfect for enjoying the coastal views. The staff are frequently praised for being friendly and helpful. However, recent reviews highlight recurring issues with cleanliness, particularly in the bathrooms and kitchen areas, and some guests mention noise disturbances from nearby nightlife.

Its ok, but the hygiene could definitely do with some work. The bathrooms were pretty grimy and the bedsheets didnt fill me with confidence. Good enough for a night, but nothing to write home about

Although there are no other hostels in the area I would not recommend staying here. This hostel did not feel safe as a solo female traveller and it was very very unclean.

La higiene es malísima! El baño, la pieza, la cama. Salí con picaduras de bichos en mi cuerpo. Aún que es el único hostel en Iquique, no lo recomiendo.
