Absolutely amazing hostel. Randal the owner is super nice, friendly and easy going. You can hire boards, lessons and extend your stays super easy and pay at the end. Amazing location, right on the Main Street close to the supermarkets, restaurants and the beach. Rooms were nice, beds were comfortable. However the room we stayed in, the bathroom didn’t close/lock. Small kitchen with just about the tools you need to cook. Small common area upstairs but a super social hostel. Great value

We stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute! There is a common area we’re you can chill and meet people Also down stairs is the My Friend restaurant with good quality and price balance! The best part for us were the surf lessons with Randall, he was by far the best teacher I’ve ever had. Friendly, really funny, patient and motivational! We had 6 lessons with him and I was surfing on a 6.2 hard top at the end. We had such a great time every day on the water and after chilling in the ho...

+ La ubicación

- El techo tenía goteras y me mojo la ropa y todo al habitación se inundó Dicen que tienen Parking pero es dentro del restaurante y solo puedo guardar después que cierren Me dijeron que cerraban a las 9 y eran las 9:30 y no había cerrado. Cuando baje a las 10 pm y ahbaina cerrado y no me habiasaron. Me tocó pagar un taxi para buscar una cochera a las 11:00pm y no dejar mi moto en la calle

+ Deberían quitarlo de Booking. La habitación que me asignaron era techo de chapas acanaladas, de asbesto y con pintura descascarada, sin cieloraso. En el baño no había jabon ni papel higienico. No tienen recepcion ni conserjería. Las escaleras no tienen pasamanos. Cucarachas grandes por todos lados. Me fuí sin alojarme.

- Todo.

it was okay for one night. the kitchen was horribly dirty and didn't had any equipment at all (stove wasn't working). Although they say it in the description and in the reviews, there is no breakfast anymore. The other guests were pretty cool, still we wouldn't book again.

+ The hotel is in a great location, close to the sea, there is a good restaurant downstairs, you can rent a surfboard cheaply, but I recommend taking lessons from Randy, a great teacher. The owner very helpful, great atmosphere in the hotel. Everything I needed here is here

The hostel‘s location is great, situated on a main street with stores, restaurants and near the beach. The hostel offers surf rental service which is convenient and breakfast is included, so you don’t have to worry about how to start your day. However the room was dirty and moldy, our shower did not work and the kitchen was not made for cooking. The surf rental is ok but the prices are on the higher end. Overall we found the spot overpriced for what you get.

This hostel is great vibes, the free breakfast is 11/10, dorms are cleaned daily and the common area is a nice place to hangout. Randy and Carlos who are super chill and easy going. It was nice to rent surf gear from them. Come here if you want the Huanchaco hostel + surf experience. I visited ATMA it was a more sterile environment and no free breakfast.
