This place has a ton of potential with the understanding that it is hard to get resources on that island. I just feel that the ownership could have a little more pride. The first 2 night I had no hot water. There was no screens on the windows, no fan, no air-conditioning. The sheets were stained and dirty. The blanket stunk like dog. I guess you get what you pay for but other than that a beautiful place and tons of potential.

Overall, this hostel was very basic, however it did the job and allowed me to explore the island from a decently central location for a decent price. I didn’t speak Spanish and the staff didn’t speak English, but were still trying to be very helpful. My shower didn’t have hot water, and there wasn’t much of a social vibe at the hostel, but I was able to meet people at the cultural dancing shows in town which was nice. Internet was very patchy, but this is the case across the island too.

入住的时候,前台没有人接待,之后安排我入住了。但酒店的Kona Tau女士回来后,告诉我没有床位了。酒店安排了一对老夫妻住进了,把我送到另外一家hostel入住。另外这家的位置靠近海边,客观的说,我很感谢他们帮我调整到挺好的hostel。但是在交接的过程中,Kona Tau女士完全没有任何的歉意,也没有做好两家店之间的付款交接。因为有部分预付款是平台收取了,我还需要付...

overall had a nice stay. as it's basically one room, the atmosphere is really dependent on the people you're with, otherwise it's pretty non existent. Staff were incredibly nice, although it was hard actually finding them. Location is quite good, simple walking distance from the airport and pretty much anything else you might want to do in town.

この値段でイースター島に宿泊できることがありがたかったです! 宿でもツアーをやっていてどこよりも安くて充実していたのでツアーも合わせて行くことをオススメ!日替わりで1日ツアーと半日ツアーを開催しているので3泊以下と宿泊が少ない人は事前に申し込みをオススメ! 一つだけ気になったのは、生ゴミに虫がたかりまくって不衛生だったこと。 外にお...

Nicole et Nestor ont ete adorables! Ils ont rendu mon expérience incroyable! Ambiance +++ J’ai eu une chambre privée au lieu d’un dortoir 2 lits car personne n’était avec moi. J’ai pris les 2 tours (1 full day + 1/2 day) avec Nicole qui était une guide géniale! Elle connaît parfaitement son île étant une pure Rapa Nui! J’ai économisé beaucoup d’argent car ses prix sont très honnêtes comparé aux tours… ils m’ont en plus offert le transfert à Ahu Tongariki pour le le...

Hostel was pretty average. Not really a hostel just sort of an extension of their house. Nice family and people and all but didn’t speak English and were never really there to help when needed. Warm water for showers and room was comfy. Probably more worth your money for a hotel though to be honest

Hostel très bien placé sur l'île géré par une famille très gentille. Les chambres sont propres avec leur propre salle de bain. La gérante nous donne des conseils pour visiter l'île, très sympa ! Toutefois, c'est un peu bruyant et la cuisine partagée n'est très propre notamment les frigo...

maybe my expectations were too high for a hostel with such a good rating but I felt the standard of facilities was not so good and despite saying tours offered, they are not for English speakers.

I wouldn’t recommend this place The receptionist Sam Was very rude with the check in process I arrived from the airport And rather then check me in Said he needs to pick people up from the airport and vanished for 30 minutes When he returned he then checked in the people from the airport before myself. At which point I had to leave for a show He was never at the desk for me to pay Eventually he Bursts into my room at 11pm - wakes me up asking for money - really weird

Sami is great and welcoming, I missed him at the airport and walked to the hostel without realizing that he was there to pick up other guests who were checking in the same day. No biggie though as it wasn't communicated prior. Be aware that English-speaking tours are not offered every day (only Spanish) and the recommend tour agencies by the hostel were non-existent. Fortunately I was able to find one on my own. No atmosphere, only met one other traveler there and other guests were there for wor...

It is a rustic hostel with some rustic issues, but super friendly and helpful staff. When there are enough guests, a shuttle service to/from the beach on the other side of the island at a low cost. Tours only offered in Spanish and only on certain days. To respond to previous comments, there IS wifi now. One-day laundry service for 5,000 pesos. Make sure you swim with sea turtles in town next to Pea restaurant. The cemetery and church service are must sees because of the extreme local flavor.

Samuel is super friendly/helpful - positive energy from the get-go. The hostel is spacious, the rooms are a nice size. I stayed in a 4 persons all female room. I really liked that the beds weren't bunk beds. The hostel has chickens running around, chicks too! Super cute!! The location is about 10-15 min walk away from the main road. The sense of community/security was really nice too.
