    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.

    The hostel dog needs some training, if you won't pay attention it will eat your food. The only way to get to the hostel is via a car or "collectivo" During the stay, the hostel was without running water for at least a day. (but it was probably only one-time situation)

    Exceptional personal, you can rent surf equipment direct in hostel. Well-equipped kitchen and "Gym" with all necessary tools to train for better surf! Very good location, you can hear the waves in the night.

    Rooms are cold, no proper heating in place. Water was warm to shower but it wasn't nice to enjoy. Had a kitchen but fridge was broken and breakfast wasn't really tasty.

    It is located at a secluded area so it was nice to rest and disconnect, but they don't say tha GPS shows the wrong directions and we had trouble getting there.

    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.

    Definitely a great place to stay and share with the other guests and the staff. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and we had a great time hanging out by the bonfire getting to know the other guests. The beds were comfortable, shower was clean and had good water pressure, and breakfast was good.

    perfect place to stay for surfers, social hostel with heaps of volunteers who were beyond helpful to our group for the 10 days we stayed. we barely spoke Spanish but the staff were always helpful. Pichilemu was a great little surf town with plenty of places to eat and check out. couldn’t recommend the place more!

    The only cheap option for a solo surfer in Punta de Lobos

    The bed sheets were dirty. The room doesn't have any kind of heating system. There were just 4 lockers for a 7-bed dorm. When I asked about that to an employee, he just told me not to worry that nothing would happen to my stuff (and luckily it didn't). The kitchen has just one 4-fire stove, so sometimes you might have to wait long to use it. For 2 nights, there were little parties in the barbecue area that made some noise until late at night, which disturbed the sleeping time in my bedroom (which was the closest one). Looking the instagram page before going, I had thought I would find a more experienced surfing staff that could help me with surfing tips for the city. However, it's not really a surfcamp. The closest market is 4 km far.

    I spent 9 nights in Sirena Insolente Hostel in may 2022 for a surftrip on my own. I chose it because it was the only hostel (and the cheapest option) I found on Internet that you could go on foot to Punta de Lobos surfbreak. After getting there, I was sure about this detail. The other options are in the center of Pichilemu, about 6 km from Punta de Lobos. So if you don't plan to rent a car, it may be annoying to catch a "colectivo" (shared taxi) everyday to Punta de Lobos. But if you plan to surf mostly Infernillo and La Puntilla, then it's fine to stay in the city center. I stayed in a 7-bed dormitory with bathroom. The bed was confortable. The kitchen has a lot of apparel for cooking. The vibe was good, and there were some relaxing common areas as the ping pong table and the barbecue area.
