The location can not be better to start your visit to the Caldera through the river bed. The grounds and houses attract a mixed crowd of backpackers, couples, single travellers that often extend their stay. Beautiful decorations and gardens, some in Hobbit and Elves style. Walkable distance from Los Llanos, but be aware the last hundreds of meters are pretty steep. Shuttle service available € 5.

For me, this place was a kind of paradise. I I love to be right in the middle of the mountains, with incredible views and great stars at night. I enjoyed talking to the other people at the hostel and I felt like I slept really well as well. It’s worth it being in the middle of nature even though you do you have to walk up a steep hill to get there. That really is the purpose that you’re right in the middle of nature, and the experience is otherworldly and incomparable.

Magnificent location (but that comes with being isolated). Very friendly atmosphere. Big swimming pool.

This place is definitely unique. Lonely house with the caldera, this is super quiet and views are stunning. There is a strong collective mindset (you’d better speak German though! 😄). You can start great hikes from there (Brecitos - Taburiente - back). You cook together in the common outdoor kitchen, share nice moments, enjoy the vibe. Staff is lovely. Including the 6 dogs and cats and guinea pigs! It has a retreat vibe, you can really relax and breathe up there. It is a must-go if you’re a hostel and hiking person.

Views were awesome, second to none. Even Dolomites could not compete with this. Place was like community, gathering nice People, mostly hikers. Also lot of animals, so if you like them, good place for you.

Rivendell is the perfect remote location for those looking to get away from it all, and to take a few days to connect with the surrounding nature and also themselves. The people and animals here are very welcoming, it quickly felt like I had known them for much longer already. The vibe is very open, relaxed and bohemian. Living deep in a valley certainly has some drawbacks (going shopping on foot requires an hour hike, for example), but these make this place all the more special. Despite the remoteness, all of the necessary comfort is available though, like good beds, wifi, cosy dorms/rooms and a proper bathroom. These were better than I had expected. When I visit La Palma again I will try to go back for a few days.
