Open Gate Hostel is a quite special place. I felt welcome from day one as the owners, management and family are so nice and welcoming. The hostel is located on a 50 year old lava field which is a very special experience. That being said, it is otherwise quite secluded. So either come with a car or be prepared. I felt very secure, maybe because there were also not many guests, leaving all my valuables unsupervised. The hostel was also very clean. The facilities are alright too. A happy place!

Words can only scratch the surface when describing the beauty and elegance of this hostel. We accidentally came upon this place in passing and its unique collision of architecture and artistry stood out to us. Although remote, the establishment is surprisingly accessible being just a couple left turns from town. We were struck by the owners’ hospitality and our stay left us feeling fully restored. Our new favorite place to crash on a weekend in puna.
