What an exceptionally lovely hostel! All the staff and volunteers go out of their way to be friendly and helpful, and as a result the hostel has a very welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place for solo travellers as it's really easy to feel at home at the hostel, particularly with the activities offered (e.g. group meals).

Hostal moai, hotel in Montañita

Hostal Moai is located right on the beach in Monañita and offers guests free American breakfast and free Wi-Fi throughout. It boasts a shared social area with hammocks.

Very friendly and helpful volunteers. First mixed dorm was not so good, but then I talked to the staff and they switched to a female dorm. This was a very comfortable room, very clean, with AC and nice bathroom. Definitely changed my stay plus the people there. Volunteers cook up nice stuff for an affordable price. They do nice cocktails and they have very nice live music on Fridays. I would definitely come back. And very affordable prices.

    The only good thing are the hammocks. I will try to be as objective as possible. We arrived at My Little House Surf&backpacker Hostel with a reservation for 4 nights and left the second night. We left because of a very serious problem for any kind of accommodation: not being able to sleep. If you are on a budget and looking for drinking party (with a relation of 5 men for a 1 woman), may be this place can be your best option. Nevertheless, there are other options in Montañita for this price and you should read the rest of this review.

    The staff go over and above here, very helpful in booking a tour to Isla de la Plata and making sure I got there safely. The room was clean and comfortable, with aircon. The kitchen is small but had what we needed. The location is very close to the centre but not too close to the party hostels and bars, so ideal for a quieter stay.

    One of the best hostels we've stayed at in South America. The staff are super friendly and very welcoming, the volunteers chat to everyone so it's a nice place if you are solo travelling. It's a lovely beach vibe hostel. It's away from the hustle and bustle of town so you can chill out in the day and party in the night, they have a pool table, darts, volley ball and a pool so lots of things to keep you entertained. Cheap drinks, amazing food and hot showers. We extended our stay by a week! Would definitely recommend :)

    Kamala is a special place and ticks all the boxes for an exceptional stay: rooms are spacious & cleaned twice a day, hot showers, relax spots all over the hostel, in front of the beach, huge swimming pool, tastiest homemade food, cheap beers & cocktails, staff & volunteers warmly welcoming every single person, free shots, pre-drinking games before joining the pubs & clubs in the center all together, and, the most adorable puppy ‘Ollie’ to play with! I would not hesitate twice before experiencing Kamala!
