There's an additional charge not mentioned in the app if you want to use the kitchen...

Spacious communal area and very laid back vibes. Friendly staff with a good eye in restocking the bathroom and bar. The beds are equipped with mosquito tents barriers so you can sleep peacefully without being eaten alive overnight.

The owners Wally and Jose went above and beyond to ensure I had a good stay. I got sick while I was there and they were so helpful.! The rooms are clean and it has a good social hangout area. Would stay again

Nothing.

I loved it at Wallys hostel, and his team is absolutely lovely. They can not help you enough. I'm a solo packer, and they made me feel like family. Wallys is absolutely what a hostel should be. The beach is absolutely beautiful. I was very sad to leave.

Starting my bike and leaving.

Wally's place is a fantastic place if you really want to chill and meet other very chilled travelers from around the world. It is situated between the beach and the main town in a very quiet safe location. I booked 2 days and stayed 5. I left with a heavy heart. Wally is very special person and with his genuine friendliness and relaxed attitude really makes this place amazing.

i like everything (:

A perfect place for comfort and relaxing away from the parties - while close enough to get around quickly and easily. Always good conversation with the other backpackers & owner. Wally has such good information for your further travels around Peru. Great coffee in the morning. Really good mosquito nets for the beds !

The house is a bit far from the centre. But motortaxis are cheap it doesn’t really matter

Wally is a very nice host. His house is very good to relax and he has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

A little warm in the room but that can’t really be helped in summer. The fan was appreciated.

The property is quirky and comfortable. It’s a great budget accommodation and is nice and clean. By far the best part is the fantastic host. Wally organised early check in for us after an overnight bus, recommended great restaurants & allowed us to shower and relax in the common area after check out. He built the place himself and takes great pride in it.

We arrived in the middle of the night prior to our actual reservation date (and without informing Wally about our arrival time) and he opened the door for us with a big smile and good mood and two beds ready for us, which we were super thankful for :) the place is very cosy and feels like home. Would definitely recommend staying there when in Máncora!

The hostel is quite a walk from the main beach spot and surf break. The roof/walls in our room weren't completely secure so we had a lot of mosquitos in our room all the time. Despite the mosquito net above the bed, they still managed to make their way in and I ended up with a lot of bites. They hung out in the toilets and shower too, so you would get attacked by them when you used the facilities.

The hostel had a cool rustic layout, and a good common area to hang out in. My partner and I booked the private room for our stay in Mancora, hoping to get the social aspect of being in a hostel however there were no other guests there during our stay which was a shame. Our host gave us lots of local tips, cooked us some food from his hometown in Russia, and did some laundry for us which was helpful. Our bed in our room was comfortable and private, great to have our own balcony. Really appreciated the complimentary water tank we got - saved us a lot of money on water. Great having the hostel locked so you know your belongings are safe.

That i could not stay longer :’(

Honestly one of the best Hostel on my trip through South America. I felt welcome and like i am at home or visiting good friends. The hostel is close to the beach and you can see the most beautiful sunset omg. I booked 2 nights but stayed one week in the end because i didnt want to leave. The hostel is very cosy with the hammocks and huge hang out area. Its 100 percent good energy from rus, who works and lives in the hostel. He teached as an amazing russian dish wich i defenently try at home, tells cool storys and helped me to organize my surflessons, vegan cakes and recommended nice places in Peru. I also appreciate his attitude because you really see that he doesnt want to charge much for budget travelers. In my opinion the hostel could cost more per night. I had a great sleep, the area is quite and the bed was also cozy.

The host is great. Helps out a lot by giving tips // insights on what you can do in the area etc. I arrived in Peru without a plan because I left Ecuador for the chaos that had erupted. The host was amazing at thinking a long and providing options incl. costs and travel time etc. or giving advice on things to do not just in Mancore but anywhere.

Sometimes a strange smell from the sewer

Quiet place a little out of the center but near the beach. Nice common area!

Small quiet place but easy to get to know the other travelers. A little bit like a family place. Ivana the manager is lovely.

Lovely staff and very cozy hostel. It's perfect for meeting fellow travellers and cooking together, as well as doing other activities nearby.

Often there were no staff around, which is nice in some ways but difficult when you need something! Wally was away during my visit, which is a shame because I think he would have made the difference! 20 minutes walking to the surf beach, but there is another beach much closer.

Small hostel in the quiet part of town, kitchen was small but had everything I needed, mosquito nets on the bed, nice area to socialise. We arrived early after a night bus and they let us in and have us blankets to sleep on the sofas and put coils out to keep the mosquitoes away. Very relaxed with check out too, let me keep the key all day.

Super responsive owner and very helpful. Helped me look for a laundry place, because it was currently not possible at their hostel. She also let me stay until the evening when my bus to Ecuador left, so I didn't have to worry about my luggage during my last day in Peru :D

Super chilled, great room (big, clean, patio with view on the ocean), staff is very friendly

Stayed in October 2023

The kitchen had lots of big ants, but I guess it is not easily avoidable. There are also LOTS of frogs in the hostel. I didn't mind at all, they were cute, but some might not like them. Also, they are currently (Oct 2023) working at the building attached to it, like you could talk to the carpenters, and they make a lot of noise from the early morning. But not their fault, just a heads up

At first I didn't like it, the pictures are a bit misleading. But I quite liked it eventually, it's small but cozy. The rooms are VERY basic, but the beds are comfy and each one has a mosquito net. There are two hammocks where to relax, couches and a kitchen that can be used.
