Exceptionnel séjour dans cet hostel ! L’ambiance est vraiment cool et détendue, parfait pour rencontrer du monde et d'autres voyageurs ! Le staff toujours sympa et prêt à aider. Les chambres et les espaces communs sont propres, et il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour être à l’aise. En plus, l’emplacement est hyper pratique pour se déplacer et sortir dans Montañita franchement, je recommande les yeux fermés, Merci Nico !!! à très vite !

Very welcoming and chill vibe. It's a super social hostel and feels like a home. The beach is just down the street and a big plus is the spacious kitchen but it could use some new tools

honestly that’s the best guesthouse in montanita in terms of value! the ac works perfectly and the kitchen is very functional. all showers have hot water and the bathrooms are very clean. but the best is realy the vibe on the terrace where it is so easy to interact with other backpackers, playing jenga or fifa!!🤩 big up to joao the security night guard who let us check in at 4am without extra cost, you’re a legend!👏🏻

Echt een super nice hostel! Het personeel was super lief en hulpzaam, ik voelde me hier onmiddellijk op mijn gemak. De keuken, gefilterd water en goeie AC waren ook echt een plus. En de feestjes die ze hier af en toe geven waren ook super tof!

Had a great time at this hostel and loved it. The vibe is really family-like and social. There’s a PlayStation, a TV, lots of hammocks,beerpong, a fun atmosphere in general. It’s also super central, had a private room for a decent price. The owner Nico is a great guy, he's lots of fun and you feel instantly welcomed. Highly recommend

cool location and energy in general, but a couple things worth knowing. Bathrooms were pretty rough the whole time I was there and didn’t seem to get cleaned as there was consistent poo stains in every toilet haha. the owner would come into the girls’ dorm at night to turn off the AC unannounced, but he did rounds and turned off everyone’s AC? stingy maybe idk. That said, the volunteers were amazing and honestly made the stay cool

Nico the owner has an excellent heart that shows with how he treats his guest. If you respect the facilities, the country, the travel you will find a place at my little house surf and backpacker hostel. The facilities are great, and has the best common area for post hangs or just to drink a beer and hang out. You will always find an answer to any thing you want whether it be about love or how to safely travel in Ecuador! Cheers to a great stay.
