Casa de huéspedes Huaka

Horrible. You’re treated like cattle. At night, they literally lock guests inside the dorm area, and you can’t access the common spaces again until 8 a.m. I’ve been traveling around the world for two years, and I’ve never seen anything like this. Max is friendly, but his wife is unbelievably rude — she shouldn’t be working in hospitality; she’d be better off in a factory where she can’t talk down to customers. I absolutely do not recommend this place.

Aircon in the fairly grimy rooms turned off at night by the staff which resulted in an uncomfortable evening of little to no sleep in a stuffy room

Clean hostel with nice kitchen and garden. Only one bathroom for the whole hostel. Staff was really strict and i felt unwelcome in the beginning. Please read the low google reviews, I find them accurate.

Établissement propre, en revanche très bien si vous cherchez du calme, mais pas si vous avez envie de rencontrer du monde.

The hostel is well located and the garden is beautiful however it's a shame that there is a strict curfew. The garden and kitchen close at 11pm which feels very early, especially in Argentina, and means you have to either go out or go to bed. There are no other places to relax. The staff are helpful but with so many rules the atmosphere is not as relaxing as we were hoping for from a hostel. A shame when the garden is such a beautiful space. Hand towels in the bathroom are also missing.

Very nice but a bit cold at night and no place inside to work comfortably. Digital nomads keep that in mind

Mega Hostel, unbedingt zu empfehlen. Die Küche war richtig gut ausgestattet!

Parfait ! Endroit très bien situé, installations propres et confortables. Le personnel est vraiment très attentifs et accueillant. Je recommande 🙂

What a little gem! This hostel was one of our favourites, because of the lovely atmosphere set by the hosts. The hostel itself was very clean and calm which was perfect for us. The owner gave lots of recommendations for things to do in the local area and were always responsive. The outdoor area was lovely to chill in during the evenings. Overall, a very welcoming and friendly place filled with lovely kind people! Would highly recommend staying here. :)

Es el mejor hostel de Cafayate sin dudas. Y uno de los mejores de Salta. Hermosa atención por parte de Valeria. Y gracias Max por toda la información. Muy completo Habitación compartida digna y muy muy segura y limpia. El baño brilla. Cocina completa, puede usar todo el día. Lo mejor es el patio, con las hamacas Me sentí en casa, es un lugar para gente tranquil, por eso lo elegí y no me defraudó. Vi que no le gustan los grupos molestos y eso me encantó Gracias por todo Huaka, me ...

Huaka is a great hostel! The staff are unbelievably nice, shout out to Max, Hernan and Belidia (sorry if the names are spelt wrong), they made me feel very welcome and were really helpful in providing information for the area! Couldn’t recommend staying here enough!

Max and Valeria are the kindest hosts you will ever meet in South America :):)

Ostello molto carino, personale super accogliente e gentile. Posto perfetto per rilassarsi!

This is a great hostel with a perfect location and beautiful garden. If you are lucky enough to experience a barbecue you will LOVE it. I would 100% recommend the hostel, I just have 2 small improvements. First the bunkbeds are very noisy, every small movement I was afraid I was waking the whole room. Second, it’s very easy to get scolded by one staff member, they are very strict on many things. Just want to recommend that there may be a nicer way to say things sometimes :)

I had a great stay here. The staff were the standout point for the place as they were so friendly and gave good advice on what to do. Room was standard as was breakfast. Nice space, can't comment on how social it is as I came with a road trip group.

This is my favorite hostel of all I've ever stayed at. It's got everything you'd want in a hostel - hot shower water, drinkable tap water, kitchen, storage containers for extra food, strong wifi, the cutest outdoor area to hang out in. We ended up booking extra days here because we loved it so much. Wish we could stay longer!
