This hostel has a perfect location very close to the beach and the food in the restaurant which is part of it is amazing and very well-priced too (especially the big breakfast included in the price!). Randy and Carlos are great people and will help you with anything you need and they make you feel at home, they really want you to feel good in the hostel. One day I got sick and they took such good care of me. I would definitely stay here again!

stop looking at other hostels in huanchaco and just stay here, trust me!
if you love hostels that feel like one big family, this is the perfect place. the hostel mom and dad are Dario and Gigi, a lovely couple who always take the time to get to know every newcomer, are always down for a chat, and are always ready to help you with anything you need. they radiate a genuine sense of hospitality thats rare and hard to comeby elsewhere.
the hostel is small of around 15-20 spots which makes for a cute and homely atmosphere. i have many fond memories of going out with everyone to surf together, drinking a beer at sunset, chatting and hanging out on the terasses, cooking, playing games, and going out for dinner together.
the fascilities are great. theres a well-equipped and spotless kitchen, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are nice and spacious. the entire hostel is cleaned thoroughly everyday. the living room is perfect for relaxing together, with 5 adorable cats that are always down to cuddle. theres a nice spatious downstairs area with tables and chairs, and another large balcony terrass to chill in. plus a yoga room to top it off!
the location is perfect. one reason is for surfing: because the current carries you northwards, its convenient to paddle out closer to the south side, where the hostel is located. another reason is that its close to many restaurants, only a 5 minute walk from the coolest beach club in town called Frogs, and directly opposite 2 convenience stores. The most awesome surfschool ever (Muchik), is only 7 minutes away and is directly opposite the best place to surf as a beginner. I highly recommend going to muchik if you want to learn how to surf. The surfinstructors there are so much fun and very attentive. They became very close friends of mine throughout my stay.
leaving this place was a hard thing to do and i stayed for over 6 weeks.

Excellent location close to the beach. The room we had was large, spacious and clean. There is a well equipped shared kitchen and the rooftop gets views of the ocean.
The owner Jorge is super nice and available on whatapp if you need anything.
Huanchaco is a cute and safe place and a good place to base...
Huanchaco is a cute and safe place and a good place to base yourself in the Trujillo area - it is way safer than Trujillo and has incredible food to boot. Be sure to try the parihuela and ceviche at one of the many seaside restaurants. Huanchaco is also home to the caballitos de totora - a continuation of a pre-Columbian tradition of reed boats. Chan Chan is nearby and it's a straight shot to Huaca el Brujo.

It's definitely not a small surf town like I thought, it's much bigger than expected with a bit of a nightlife. Many three-story bars and restaurants, many cute markets, but the real shopping is located in Trujillo (a half hour bus ride away). Despite the busy streets and many pedestrians, huanchaco maintains a very chill vibe. The beaches aren't great for relaxing or swimming but perfect for surfing. It's a really beautiful vacation destination, safe for the family and for solo travellers as well of all ages. I'd definitely recommend a visit !

I stayed in Huanchaco surf camp for 14 days, and the only negative thing was the leaving;). Carla and Francisco are amazing people with great heart, always helpful and friendly. You can also get great tips for surfing or take surf classes here. The location is very peaceful with direct view of the ocean from the terrace, not far from centre, what else do you need!:)
The hosts are very nice and welcoming. They recommended us surfing which was a great choice. And they helped us with a lot of other things (like a great lunch restaurant). the rooms are fine, the kitchen is nicely equipped and the shower is great. Huanchaco is also a really nice city to stay. We would definitely recommend!
The hotel is located opposite the ocean shore with a nice view from the hotel restaurant upstairs. The staff were friendly and very helpful and the room was always clean and tidy when we returned. The restaurant served a very nice breakfast and the staff were super accommodating. Room service was prompt as well.
Awesome place to get some rest in Huanchaco, calm, close to the center and friendly owners. The place is clean and the pool is everything you need after your surf session.
