Amazing hostel definitely stay here if you’re in Juayua! They had so many activities for the guests to do throughout every day we were there! The staff were so lovely and really friendly it felt like one big family. The food is also amazing here! One of the staff Oscar gave us a lift to San Salvador, he was such a funny and kind guy even through the language barrier - same goes for all the staff, would definitely recommend!

Das Que Ondas Hostel hat eine richtig tolle Atmosphäre und bietet viele Touren an, sowie Abends gemeinsames Essen oder andere Aktivitäten. Alle Mitarbeiter waren super lieb und standen für jegliche Rückfragen oder auch einfach zum Austausch immer zur Verfügung und man hat gemerkt, dass sie sich unteriander ein super Team sind. Die Dorms, Küche und das Bad sind sauber und bieten viel Platz und es gibt neben einem tollen großen Garten auch viele Gemeinschaftsräume.

I had a great time here. The staff is very kind and makes you feel at home. The hostel is surrounded by nature and in a good location. They organize activities, so there’s always something to do. You can relax or party, depending on what you’re looking for. The kitchen is well organized, the rooms are good, and everything is very clean. I recommend the waterfall tour and the hot springs. really worth it

Lovely hostel in a beautiful space. 7 waterfalls hike was very fun. Only one bathroom for two dorms and the kitchen wasn’t too clean. There is a kitten living in the hostel which climbs over the surfaces and shelves, so not very hygienic

Adorei meus dias em Que Ondas! A cama é super confortável, todos foram super prestativos, o restaurante e bar muito bons e os tours e atividades incríveis, como o de sete cascadas, coffee tour e ladies night. Recomendo muito para ter uma experiência completa!

The hostel has a small but nice social area, which is great for meeting new people. The beds were comfortable and have curtains, however the room is very small and you have to store your belonging outside. There is only one shower/toilet and it didn’t lock for the majority of our stay. The kitchen was big but not very clean. Our biggest issue was the hostel owners dog consistently attacking the pet kittens, this problem was raised several times till eventually the dog killed one of the kittens...

One bathroom for two dorms, and when the bathroom door was broken it wasn't repaired. When there was no water in town it seemed like they didn't care and didn't provide any workarounds. They have dogs and cats and the dogs always attacked the cats until I had to see with my own eyes how one cat got killed by the dogs - thanks for that experience

Overall the hostel was good for me. Pros: friendly and helpful staff, beautiful scenery, good location, daily tours, access to rental scooters, good mattresses and pillows. Cons: only one shower which wasn’t the cleanest (2 toilets though). The town ran out of water (which isn’t their fault) and they didn’t provide any water to use for flushing. Also there was a consistent problem with the dogs attacking the cats which I think they could have managed better.

Pretty disappointed with this hostel, much more expensive than it should be. The photos don’t look like it at all. Bathroom door was broken on the first day and would lock itself. Ants all over the kitchen pots. Too many beds in the dorm so have to put bags in lockers outside the room. One bathroom/shower for all the guests. Shower was freezing. (I’m pretty used to cold showers) owner wasn’t interested in guests, 10% charge on card. We also had no running water for an evening.

Beautiful house!! Closed to everything while being a little outside for tranquility. Oscar is putting a lot of effort to create a cosy atmosphere where people feel at home, and it works 😌 Would love to come back anytime!

Amazing place, super social and friendly with lovely volunteers and staff. The hostel ran activities are really good super helpful with anything you need. Bedrooms are great with curtains and comfy bed, would just be better if there was an extra bathroom/ shower but would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Juayua!

Great hostel. Oscar is a great host and it is like a family vibe with not too many guests. They also run nice events in the hostel too. Great facilities but could maybe do with an extra toilet and shower.

Qué Ondas is such a gem! The property is beautiful and peaceful. The 8-bed dorm is small but the comfy beds and privacy curtains make it worth it. The kitchen is basic but sufficient for simple meals, and I loved the giant outdoor sectional. The only feedback is additional bathrooms/showers for the dorms (which seem to be in the works for the future). The owner really tries to take you out to as many local spots and events as possible, which was really refreshing. Un abrazote para Lluvia!

Great hostel, Oscar’s a great host and lots of fun on the waterfall hike. Really social and comfy beds in the 4 bed dorm. Only main downside is 1 bathroom/shower for 12 people. Overall we loved it though! Had a great time

Nice hostel, very quiet and great for resting. There isn’t much of a social atmosphere, but I did meet some people in the common area. I was a bit disappointed when I arrived compared to the photos, but I still had a good stay. However, one bathroom for all the guests is really not enough.

It’s a great, rather small hostel. I felt super comfortable and I really liked the vibe. Oscar is an amazing host. He did the 7 waterfall hike with us and took us on additional free trips. Big recommendation 😊

I highly recommend staying at the hostel when you visit Juayúa! It is a small hostel but it’s still easy to connect with other people and the waterfall hike was really fun. There are still some things that are missing or could be improved (more space in the dorms, another bathroom) but Oscar is already on it and since the place has not been a hostel for a very long time I think is fine that the hostel is still improving on incoming feedback.
