I can recommend it to anyone looking for a chilled and uncomplicated atmosphere.
I (traveling alone, 26 yrs) booked 5 days and stayed 32 days. It's a Vipe in this hostel, where I really liked it. Everyone is super helpful and nice. If there is anything, just let Randal know and it will be sorted. They are straightforward with check in and out. If you have a late night bus, you can easily go surfing again beforehand and then take a shower (remember wearing flip-flops). I rented my wetsuit and surfboard at the hostel. They can give you lots of tips for activities or even organize a safe cab. They look after you.
There is a cute fat cat, Lola, who also lives there and Marie makes sure the hostel is clean. You can also have your laundry washed for little money.
The included breakfast is great.
In general, the food in the restaurant is cheap, fresh and delicious.
During the time I was there, I saw some renovation work being carried out and also the replacement of the fridge and seat cushions in the lounge. They are constantly trying to make improvements, which I find very positive.
Situated in Huanchaco, within 400 metres of Huancarute and 1.1 km of El Mogote, Urcia Surf House features accommodation with barbecue facilities and free WiFi.

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.

Nice top floor terrace sitting area with sunset. Fridge to store food. Cafe downstairs does good coffee.
Staff were helpful and kept my luggage until my late bus.
Big comfortable room, fast WiFi, good shower, lamp and sockets beside the bed.

Lovely family run guest house
We arrived early from our night bus and were allowed check in to our room to freshen up. We were even given a room upgrade!
Staff were very friendly and helpful and walked us to the spot to catch the bus to chan chan and flagged down the bus for us.
The room was really lovely, comfortable and clean.
Breakfast was very good and delivered to our room. One thing I would suggest is possibly offering a later breakfast time.

Martin was incredibly nice and helpful. He organised a very good tour for one day and gave so many tips for places, food and organising. The cat is very cute and the place clean and well positioned in the city. I liked the kitchen/terrace :)

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 !
After 9 months on the road, easily one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Quiet, safe, perfectly positioned in front of the sea, and close to many eating establishments. Great staff, and everything very relaxed.
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.
Excellent! 1 minute to beach, chill vibes and really well run. Big clean kitchen, filtered water, hot water, comfy beds with lights, plugs, basket. The owner is so helpful,daily yoga classes, a huge cuddly turtle, surf options too.
Best hostel in Huanchaco for sure! Stay here but book ahead it is often full!
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.
Helpful friendly staff, great location on the beach, comfy bed and room with everything needed, good kitchen, strong Internet, clean relaxed hostel, very good price, surfboards and suits available
Super nice place and super helpful and friendly owner. We were able to check in very early in the morning as we arrived with the night bus from Huaraz - without any additional fees - highly appreciate that. Further, it was possible to leave our luggage in the Hostel for a few hours after check out. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a cozy, budget-friendly room in a great location.
