It is a super relaxed hostel if you look for staying a couple of days and learn how to surf. The kitchen is really good and the beds and chill area are super cozy.

Free breakfast at this hostel was amazing! They own the restaurant downstairs, and you get to choose from the breakfast menu! The hostel was very quiet and very few people staying there, but I did not mind. Good place to rest, comfy beds and large rooms! Public bus to Trujillo was just a 2-min walk away on the main street and ran often. Very easy to get to Chan Chan by public bus. Fun to watch the surf competitions at the beach.

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.

    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.
