    I do however think I may have had bed bugs… one to watch. The main downside of the hostel was 1, the cleanliness. the cleaning lady barely cleaned the bathroom everyday and never touched the main rooms. you could just tell it all needed a good scrub. 2, the surf school at the hostel… AVOID. The guy in charge is seriously rude and very odd with women. he was aggressive on several occasions when i was there with me and it seemed to be a common fact that he was very out of order with guests. his treatment of women in particular was horrific. i do overall recommend staying here and i would come back but save yourself the drug school experience and go to one of the places at the beach - firstly cheaper and secondly nicer people and you don’t have to carry the board all the way there. the surf school really let down the rest of the hostel.

    Sirena Insolente was great overall, I enjoyed my stay. The kitchen was fab, well equipped, the breakfast was decent for CP3000 and the proximity to the beach was great.

    reception tried to charge us an extra 19 percent. V AT even though foreigners and happy to be charged in USD. She said the booking com fees are based upon them getting the additional VAT charge. eventually she agreed not to charge us VAT. communal kitchen not very clean. no ree towels to dry plates.

    nice community feel surfers stay here for extended stays. fire at fire pit every evening. room large and we'll equipped.

    It’s located a bit out of Pichilemu and if you don’t have a car, you’ve gotta walk a lot sometimes.

    It’s beautifully build, a lot of space and the kitchen was super organised and clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful, they even have a co-working space.

    Room was hot, no fan, no fly screens so mosquitos all night if you leave the windows open. Noisy, especially on weekends . Staff aren't surfers so not very helpful for experienced surfers. Catered more for total beginners who want lessons. Some English spoken. No shops in walking distance, lots of taxis required but they are easy to get.

    Walking distance to the surf, nice communal kitchen.

    It is perfect located near the beach and good restaurants. Every day it has a nice fireplace, where everyone gathers for making dinner, in the well equipped kitchen. It has an amazing vibe, and a lot to do nearby and really friendly staff. Perfect to relax and go to the beach for surfing in punta de lobos

    The location is excellent, only a 15 minute walk from Punta de Lobos and great surf. Even in the off season there were enough restaurants around that I got by fine. I was there in the shoulder season so the waves weren't massive but amazing, super consistent, and uncrowded. The other surfers in the water were among the friendliest I've ever seen, none of the drama that often accompanies world class waves. The Hostel is awesome, the entire staff were super friendly, outgoing, and helpful. The room was nice, the bed was soft and warm, the shower worked great, and it was nice that it was set up with a place to store my boards, hang up the wetsuit, and rinse off. In the evening everyone would hang around the bonfire and talk, play ping pong, and chill. I was able to rent a great wetsuit from them at a reasonable price which was awesome because the water is really cold. I'm already thinking about when I can go back.

    One little disadvantage is that the supermarket is not very close to this place (~3km in distance). There is a great coffee place and some restaurants or small places to get food though.

    Great place to stay close to the main surfing point Punta Lobos in Pichilemu. The accommodation was clean, had a good kitchen for everyone to use, fireplace where everyone would meet up in the evenings for some drinks and music. The staff was lovely and helpful with any questions that came up. I had a great time staying here, getting to know fellow travelers and spending some chill days in the town.

    Nothing really, loved the place and especially the people!

    I absolutely loved this surf hostel, it was beautifully build with warm wooden facilities and artsy details, instantly felt like home being there. This was also thanks to the amazing staff who were so understanding and easy to communicate with already before my stay, I arrived very late but still felt safe as the communication with reception was easy. Thanks so much for being exceptionally friendly, lovely and welcoming! The breakfast was very good with fruits and the hostel offers surf lessons as well as equipment for rent. It's located only a short walk away from Punta de Lobos Beach, really the perfect place for a relaxing getaway!

    We had an awesome stay! Location was perfect, quick walk to the surf. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, was an extremely good vibe there. Was very vibey when we visited, with folks from all over the globe staying there (Aus, Ireland, France, Canada, US, Brazil, Argentina, etc). They had a fire going each night to hang out and chat, which was awesome. Easy to rent surfboards there (for all abilities, not just beginners), and a mini-ramp out back.

    The breakfast hours were pretty limited, so if you plan to go for a morning surf session, you probably can't do both.

    Lovely and comfortable place with a co-working space, shared kitchen and surf school and shop. Friendly staff and clean facilities. Campfire and plenty of opportunities to socialize. The dog, Mia, is a big ol' sweetpea.

    From charging fro WIFI to an expensive surf shop I thought they were nickel and dime'ing us. There was one stove for around 50 guests. It was hard to cook. The bathrooms were not cleaned regularly and often were dirty. But for us the worst part was our rooms door didn't shut as it was broken, leading to us being eaten alive by mosquitos daily. In our four days there door was not fixed and we got very little sleep due to the humming of mosquitos. Biggest catch of all 30+ min walk to surf.

    Breakfast was great and the hostel vibe was on point. It's a large space with a lot to do.
