My favourite hostel in Montañita hands down! Clean, close to the beach but not too close to the noise, helpful manager and volunteers. If you’re looking for a slightly more laid back Montañita experience come here!

La estadía es muy buena, desde que llegas, la atención te hace sentir en confianza, el personal es muy carismático, amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Las habitaciones tienen mucha luz natural, son ventiladas y muy cómodas. El desayuno es delicioso y se disfruta aún más con la vista increíble al mar desde la terraza. Además, la ubicación es perfecta, porque está muy cerca de todo.

there arent many places you find while travelling that give you the feeling of home but this is one of them. With the beach within earshot and the warm welcomes recieved everytime you step inside i couldnt reccomend this place more. Thank you to the people I met and the staff of Esperanto

+ Gute Lage und nette Atmosphäre, vorallem auf der Dachterasse. - Die Zimmer waren unfassbar heiß in der Nacht, und das Personal war super häufig nicht auffindbar. Es war zwar nicht dreckig, aber auch nicht richtig sauber. Kein warmes Wasser in den Duschen.

Perfect balance between chill and social. Located in a quiet area, you can actually sleep well at night, but it’s still a short walk to the center if you want to go out. The rooftop is beautiful, perfect for a morning coffee with an ocean view or a beer at sunset. Free coffee all day is a nice touch. Staff and volunteers are super friendly and welcoming. Great vibe overall, I would definitely stay again!

Cool hostel with lovely staff. Granola and yoghurt in the morning is great with coffee. Cool outdoor area with tables and a little gym set up which is a great touch. There is an amazing rooftop terrace where you can check the surf and relax and a good spot to get some admin done! Our room was kinda hot but there was a fan. Staff are really nice and helpful, and can also book snorkelling and a whole lot of different tours with them. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend.

Das Hostel liegt in einer beliebten Umgebung von Montanita, nur eine Gehminute vom Strand, wo man Surfboards leihen kann und die Wellen genießen. Von der Dachterrasse hat man einen wundervollen Blick und kann nach dem Surfen einfach entspannen. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich, sehen jeden Gast und helfen gerne weiter. Mir ging es an ein paar Tagen nicht so gut und die Mitarbeiter waren für mich da. Wenn man alleine reist, ist das so wertvoll. In der Nähe findet man Supermärkte und Restaurant...

My stay at esperanto was perfect! It is close to the beach, the people who work there are fantastic and the place can be quiet but also filled with life! The travelers that come at esperanto are super nice, social and in for good vibes at the roodtop terrace or down to chill at the beach and/or surf together! There is amazing free granola breakfast with a banana and coffee and you can also cook yourself if you feel like it :) For me this was a perfect stay at the beach in a great hoste...

Awesome place to stay! Far enough away from the noise but still easy to walk into town. The owner is a legend. Surf hire is only 5 dollars on the beach straight in front. We booked a dorm room and had it all to ourselves. The top balcony is really chilled to watch the surf. Beers also are only 2 dollars!!
