The Salty Dogs Hostel - El Tunco

Awesome place with a great vibe. Super social, excellent kitchen pool and organised activities. Beds in the dorm were very comfortable and great pillows. 10/10 would stay again!

We loved everything about this hostel

I absolutely loved my stay at Salty Dogs! This hostel has managed to create that perfect vibe of both social and chill. The communal kitchen is huge and very well-equipped. The pool is perfect for cooling off in the heat, and all the pups are so sweet. The hostel is within walking distance of a full-sized grocery store, a local pupuseria, and about a 20-min walk from Playa San Blas, which is perfect for sunset hangs. The staff is very helpful, and I would 100% stay here again.

Team was great extended my booking twice highly recommend best hostel in the area

It a very chill Hostel with nice common areas and free mangos. If you want to REALLY chill its the best. There is not to much to do in el tunco en general and in that area even less. I woul recommend for Surfers not so much for beginners. El tunco eally not the place to learn to Surf and the hostel is most about surfing. But if you advanced its a real cool place

People here were lovely and good kitchen space and some hammocks to chill, location wasn’t great and had to uber everywhere. Stayed in the 12 bed dorm and when I was there the bathroom was dirty with a bad smell and the room was very messy as people left stuff everywhere

Très bon Hostel avec une ambiance familiale ! Un de mes meilleurs séjours, la cuisine est complète, l’endroit bien organisé pour se sentir bien et rencontrer du monde.

Awesome hostel! Good vibes! Super cool and nice people! A good place to get stuck :)

Great time!! Wished we could have stayed longer. Lovely big kitchen and really enjoyed extra activities like the painting etc

The best hostel!! Everyone was so awesome! Highly recommend staying here! Perfect hangout spots and great kitchen. Thank you Salty Dogs for everything 🫶🏻🤙🏻

Super safe and quiet location. The pool is very nice and appreciated the complimentary pizza. The only recommendation would be is for the cleaning crew to empty the bathroom rubbish bins daily as it accumulates quite rapidly.

Bestes Hostel in dem ich bis jetzt war. Würde es jedem weiterempfehlen. Hätte noch paar Wochen länger dort bleiben können. Ich wünsche dem Team ganz viel Erfolg für die Zukunft ❤️

Best stay at Salty Dogs! A beautiful hostel, well ran and felt so comfortable. Highlights: Massive space, not cramped into a tiny room, able to open my bag fully with space to spare. Staff around to help whenever you need. Events organised so super easy to meet people. Comfy and spacious beds with curtains. Super clean, constantly someone cleaning the different areas. Only consideration is the location. It’s not in El Tunco so we did have to taxi around a fair bit!

heel gezellig hostel met een hele goede keuken. de kamers hebbe airco ook erg fijn. worden veel activiteiten gepland

absolutely loved my stay at the salty dogs hostel! The vibe was great, nice events with amazing people and lovely volunteers, they really made me feel like home! it had everything you need; comfortable mattresses, well equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms the beach nearby and plenty of options to grab some food. Thank you Ryan & team I will definitely be back soon!! :)

I’m so glad to have found this place to stay! In my opinion the best hostel in El Salvador and very high on my favourite list of hostels in LatAm. The rooms are very clean, the kitchen is extraordinarily well equipped, the overall vibe is amazing and the staff was super helpful and friendly especially Alex made this stay unforgettable. 11/10 would recommend!

Reviews nailed it: this place is awesome. My stay was short, but the welcoming atmosphere and the chill professionalism of Ryan and Jimmy was something special. Truly one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. 100% recommend.

One of my fav hostels! Not much to do in the area around but staying at this hostel makes that transport to el tunco worth it. Pool is very clean and refreshing, kitchen was very full and had absolutely everything I needed and more! Bathrooms were always clean as well. They had daily evening activities to keep you busy, the volunteers and owners were incredible the whole time. It was very social while I was there. Beds very comfy. One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at!

The staff are super friendly, and the hostel facilities are amazing, great rooms, an awesome kitchen, pool, and right in front of the beach... The location wasn’t my favorite (far from the center and the beach out front wasn’t the nicest), but the hostel itself was so good I didn’t mind staying in. Would recommend, but probably wouldn’t return bc location 🙂

I had a great time at the Salty dogs!
