Punta Huanchaco is an amazing hostel run by an amazing couple. It's the best spot for surfing and has super friendly family hippie vibes. Great spot to come to serf and chill and meet new great people. I stayed in total for almost 3 weeks and I wish to stay even longer. Thank you Dario and Gigi for this amazing time I could spend with you 🫶🏽

Adorable hostel with yoga and a tortoise! The hostel is a block from the beach, and the small town is very walkable. Wifi worked great, the kitchen was spotless, and the vibes were great. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Lots of great common spaces to hang- either solo or with others at the hostel. Great spot!

This is a really nice small hostel. The kitchen is well equipped the bathrooms are clean and the rooms as well and the wifi is working well as well. Since they also run a surf school and many things are run by volunteers (greetings to Margaux, you did great job) you will most probably meet many enthusiastic surfers, which is great! Really recommended stay in Huanchaco.

We spent a week there and it was a real pleasure. Lovely big bright room. Huge and extremely comfortable bed. A little fridge and microwave in the room. Lots of storage spaces. Very helpful and friendly staff. Small but very good breakfast (2 small bread rolls and a friend egg, fresh juice, coffee) delivered to the room. Good location. Decent internet. Quiet at night. Big table to eat or work at. Full sized mirror.

Wonderful place in a safe nice area of Trujillo. There are many cafes and shops around with different cuisines, so you won't go hungry. Loved the room with "single room - garden view". Panoramic windows overlooking the artificial lawn provide a certain pleasure. Very polite and friendly staff here. they always monitor cleanliness and ask if you need to clean the room - this is very convenient, because they don’t come to you at an inconvenient time to clean up like in other hotels.

All hostels in Huanchaco

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostel I’ve been in my life. Super clean, hot showers, curtain on the dorm bed. Amazing family vibe with common areas that makes it easy to meet other travelers. Paul the owner was super helpful ! I’m not surprised by how many people end up prolonging their stay !

    The hostel has the perfect location. Waking up you can already hear and see the sea. The staff is super friendly and creates a great atmosphere where you feel at home immediately! Surfboards can be rented for cheap the whole day.

    Great location, very friendly staff and a very relaxed vibe. Had some surf lessons with Randall who works at the hostel and they were excellent. The breakfast options were also the best I’ve had on my travels in South America, and the lunch and dinner was good and well priced too.

    The hostel is really great. Well equipped big kitchen, lots of communal areas where you can hang out and socialize, but also enough more cosy private spaces with hammocks. Dorm was spacious, clean, comfy bed and had curtains on the beds. Only 1 minute away from the ocean and one of the best hostels I have stayed in so far in Peru!!

    The atmosphere at this hostel was really special! The family who run it make it like feel like a home. They are super welcoming and it was easy to mix the the few other backpackers there due to its size. Jon can do surf lessons with you - he was a great teacher! The kitchen is well equipped so we made breakfast together every night which was really special. Chill vibes here, it’s know for having parties but we didn’t have any in my time there which suited me.

    Amazing, unsuspecting hostel - we weren’t expecting much but were very pleasantly surprised. The hostel had unlimited coffee in the morning, a great atmosphere, cheap yoga and loads of places to chill. We had a great few days relaxing.
