We stayed in a dorm and both got BEDBUGS, unfortunately we saw them crawling on the bed just after they bit us already the next morning. My whole body is full of bites, we changed hostels immediately the next day and had to wash all our clothes. Worst hostel experience so far!! Besides that it gets incredibly hot in the room, there is only a fan, but we couldn’t sleep because it’s way too hot. The amenities are also worn down. Wouldn’t recommend staying here.

It’s a party hostel and they’re pretty clear about that so no real issues with the noise personally but be aware they do play loud music til 1am every night - can be heard throughout the hostel because of the layout. Main issue was with the room which was boiling hot with no windows and not particularly clean, I woke up in the morning with bites all over me which I thought were mosquitos at the time but on reflection were definitely bed bugs bites which isn’t great…

As known, this is a party hostel. However, there is no specific good rules to make it convenient for everyone including people that don’t want to party until 5 am, so basically this is a club. There was also bed bugs in the 14 bed rooms, that I have found out walking on the wall at 3 am while closing once again the door that everyone leave open when coming back drunk. They looked like the bed bugs were here for some time already as big enough... I caught 2 of bed bugs, I reported it to the reception with proof in my hand and had to spend the rest of my night in the garden as no solution was offered to me. Also paid full price even tho I could no longer use the room anymore as I am allergic to bed bug bites. I read some other comments reporting bed bugs and apparently they prefer to blame the other insects than actually start really checking and clean the rooms. So better you stay in another place as it is clearly at risk and they don’t want to do anything about it.

It’s a party hostel. With that, it’s awesome. The food is surprisingly excellent, the pool is perfect for the hot days, the staff is very fun and we love having capsule beds. We didn’t experience any bed bugs (although there are mosquitoes and sand flies) and the staff was totally kind to us. It can get a bit hot in the bedrooms at night, but that’s most hostels. If you’re looking to party, have fun, and meet people, this hostel is perfect.

Awful hostel. At first, it seems like an amazing place to hang out and meet people during the day. However, as soon as you want to go to bed, everything changes. Multiple people I talked to reported bed bugs, which isn’t even the worst part. The staff keeps playing music at full volume until 4 am (on a Tuesday), keeping the entire place awake. It would be one thing if it was guests being loud, but no guests were even partying with the staff. l went to the front desk at 2 am, to ask if they could turn down the music, but I was told this was normal and I shouldn’t have booked a room if didn’t want to party until 4 am. There were 6 staff members partying, and 30 guests trying to sleep. This place definitely doesn’t have its priorities in line. (Ps - after telling the manager we would be leaving reviews, she informed us that it was fine because they require staff members to leave 10 star reviews and our feedback won’t affect their rating). I would avoid at all costs!!

Vibe-analyse
Wild Rover Huacachina is gebouwd rond het feest: luide muziek, drankjes, lessen, trivia, mixologie en een zwembad/bar in het midden van de oase. Het is geschikt voor backpackers die liever een gemakkelijke sociale basis willen dan een rustige woestijnreset. Het zwembad, hangmatten, ligbanken, bagageopslag en de centrale locatie van Huacachina zijn de belangrijkste praktische winst. De bedden kunnen comfortabel zijn en de slaapkamers kunnen gordijnen, stopcontacten en lichten hebben, hoewel de kameropstelling verschilt. De sfeer is energiek, maar onevenwichtig. Weekendfeesten kunnen leuk zijn, terwijl rustiger avonden of georganiseerde evenementen misschien plat, vertraagd of gedwongen lijken. Over eten en drinken is er een verdeeld standpunt: er zijn goede maaltijden en fatsoenlijke drankjes, maar prijzen, trage service en zwakke gerechten zijn terugkerende wrijving. Dit is een betere keuze voor een korte, sociale stop dan voor slapen, remote werken of vroege duindagen. Zet geringe verwachtingen voor stilte en controleer je rekening zorgvuldig voor het uitchecken.
Signalen om te checken
- Muziek kan tot 2 uur 's ochtends heel hard spelen en lawaai kan rechtstreeks de kamer in gaan.
- Slaapzalen kunnen extreem warm worden, met ventilatoren die de bedden niet kunnen bereiken en in veel kamers geen airconditioning.
- Badkamers, schoonheid van zwembaden, afvoer, geuren, warm water en zeep kunnen niet altijd gelijk zijn.
- De dienstverlening is gemengd: er is hulpvaardig personeel, maar de receptie en de bar kunnen onbeleefd, traag of ongeorganiseerd zijn.
- Tabs, extra kosten, activiteitenkosten en de prijzen van voedsel of drank moeten worden gecontroleerd voordat ze worden betaald.
- Wi-Fi werkt misschien beter in gemeenschappelijke ruimtes dan in slaapzalen.
- De deuren van de slaapzaal zijn misschien niet op slot en er zijn ernstige diefstal- en veiligheidsrisico's.
- Bedwantsen zijn een recente ernstige klacht.
