È un ostello molto economico. La posizione è buona. 20 min a piedi dalla spiaggia di Carizzalillo. La sera è tranquillo senza rumori. Staff inesistente, totale anarchia. Pulizia scarsa sia delle camere che degli spazi comuni. Non c’è acqua calda. Internet funziona poco. Paghi poco e ottieni poco

Es bueno sino tienes más alternativas, las habitaciones y baños están limpios; es un ambiente “joven/maduro hippie” funciona con daypass para externos. Toma en cuenta que no está tan cerca de la playa si se camina mucho para llegar a ella y está a la altura del mercado así que necesitarás tomar transporte para todo, yo decidí cambiarme a uno mejor ubicado

Napolero es un albergue muy bonito, con un gran espacio exterior, una piscina, una cafetería y un bar al aire libre muy agradable. Las playas más cercanas están a 15/20 minutos a pie. Pasé tres días aquí y lo recomiendo mucho!

Very friendly welcome form a female volunteer who was behaving like Brits. Professional and open-minded. To my surprise she was French, not German. The Canadian male volunteer was kind as well. However there was a group of French staying there. I left France and a job that was generating +10 thousand euros a month to be far from French closed culture and suspicious French people. This group attitude at the hostel reminded me of why I left.

J’ai adoré l’ambiance de cet établissement, beaucoup plus chill et moins festif que les autres. Je m’y suis très bien sentie et tous le monde étaient bienveillants. Si je reviens à Puerto Escondido c’est ici que je retournerais !!!

I advise people to avoid this hostel. Was recommended by a friend who previously stayed here however new owners took over recently who treat the place like a family home that you’re not a part of , rather than a hostel. Incredibly exclusionary, clique staff and generally just a weird vibe. The place is 90% volunteers and barely any guests. It’s not just unfriendly, it’s as though the people there go out of their way to ignore you - you are made to feel like an inconvenience just being ther...

I do not recommend this hostel if you’re a solo traveller. I didn’t feel welcomed by the staff or the owners at all, tried to make conversation and be friendly but since I only speak a little bit of Spanish I could not engage in the conversations. I arrived at the hostel when there was no other travellers only volunteers. I wish the hostel would have informed me about this as it left me feeling very excluded. All the activities that the hostel has posted on HW didn’t happen either...

Very calm, amazing volunteers/staff, not a lot of guests, would recommend if you want to stay away from the party hustle.

Nopalero was one of my favourite hostels I’ve ever stayed in, and definitely the most magical. The volunteer staff were so lovely and accommodating, and the first thing they said to me when i arrived ‘was welcome to the Nopalero family’. The atmosphere and chill areas were amazing, and the rooms super comfortable. I can’t recommend this hostel enough for people going to puerto escondido.

Nopalero was my home away from home! I have never felt so comfortable in a space that wasn't my own! The host and host family were attentive and kind and always participated in the activities with us. When I wasn't sure what to do with my time, the volunteers would take me swimming at the beautiful beaches or would just hang out with me at the hostel. I truly could not recommend Nopalero enough! The vibes were chill, comfy and safe, and there were several family-style activities and meals. I can...

This was one of my favorite hostels. It was like a little oasis in the center of town. The garden area and hammocks were so nice and I absolutely loved the pool and chilling in the sun under the trees. There was always music playing, such a great vibe there. The staff were so nice and accommodating. The showers were great, nice and big and lots of water pressure. The dorm rooms were well equipped with lights, fans, charging stations, lockers and AC. Safe and Secure. Great kitchen as well. Loved!

A really cute hostel, a little hidden paradise. The hostel offers pretty much all the amenities you could wish for. The staff are all super friendly, there are daily activities and the kitchen has plenty of space. The internet wasn't quite sufficient for my needs and the showers could be checked more often, all in all I still recommend this hostel
