The rooms are very basic but that's ok for the price, I do think the mattresses need to be changed.

The staff was super friendly and chill, they tried to help any way they could, even offered to stay as long as we needed to, if we had a late night bus. the dogs were lovely and always down for pets. The food was good and affordable and the vibe was generally just friendly.

Be mindful of check in times.

It is a nice place if you want to have a nice and quiet place where you can meet other travelers near Trujillo and want (learn to) surf! Randy the owner is the nicest guy and will help you with your questions and requests!

I loved the relax vibe of the hostel, family, randal the host and the area. Your super close to the beach. In a nice street full of shops and you dont have to go far for good food..the owners have a buzzy nice restaurant..i love their included breakfast. Really royal for being in a hostel.. wauw!! The reviews didnt lying!! The family who run it..are so sweet and helpfull. Randal who take care of the hostel is really accomodating and available at anytime. The rooftop is nice to chill. My room was spacious.. the matrass was a bit hard but i slept very nice. It would be nice to have a fan as the kitchen give a lot of heat in that particular room. The bathroom in the room is a nice bonus.. could be a bit more cleaner and a fix of the showerhead. Maybe hot water if possible..the heater wasnt workinh. Thats a minor note.. randal cleaned my room upon arrival..me and my friend were the only one in the hostel because of low season. .i can imagine with more People its more noisy..but i dont think it affect your sleep. Its a quiet area. I absolutly recommend staying here and not in trujillo. I have been to the city with the local bus who pick you up in the front of the hostel..collectivos are also possible. I prefer them more.. and they were actually cheaper. Plaza arma was nice but other than that i was happy to be back in huanchaco.

super nice staff, they were so friendly!! Randy and Renato were helpful in every situation. we could enter our room in the night/early in the morning after a night bus and have a very late checkout time on the last day. surfing lessons were very good! the hostel has a good restaurant downstairs with quality meals with good prices. the rooms are slightly basic but have all they need. rooms were cleaned daily if wanted. we really felt super good here because of the staff!! 😊😊

Free breakfast at this hostel was amazing! They own the restaurant downstairs, and you get to choose from the breakfast menu! The hostel was very quiet and very few people staying there, but I did not mind. Good place to rest, comfy beds and large rooms! Public bus to Trujillo was just a 2-min walk away on the main street and ran often. Very easy to get to Chan Chan by public bus. Fun to watch the surf competitions at the beach.

Nothing, stay was great.

Breakfast was included, awesome bonus!

The rooms are very basic, but the downstairs restaurant and staff makes more than up for it! And you still get your own en-suite bathroom including hot-water shower. The location is good, it's close to the beach and the bus to Chan-Achan and Trujillo. If you have the choice to stay in Trujillo or Juanchaco - stay here, in Juanchaco! Much more lively, sunset at the beach and surf lessons if you want to try.

The staff makes your bed each day and I'd rather not have someone touching/moving my things.

Great breakfast, friendly staff, great location.

The staff was great, Rando if im not mistaking is name help me a lot. He answered every question i had about the buses and how to get to the different spot. Helped me get a taxi and was just great. The breakfast is also very good and for the price you just can't go wrong.

The location is great as it’s a minutes walk from the beach, the beds were comfortable and cleaned each day, and the owner Randy was amazing! I definitely recommend his surf lessons as they’re very personalized and I was able to learn in just an hour or so. Will definitely be coming back!

I han an amazing time at My Fiend Hostel; the atmosphere is calm cool and relaxed! The walk to the beach is super short and Randy is the Man. His whole family is very welcoming and he makes great food. The third floor has a great rooftop hang out area and he was very knowledgeable about the area and had great tips on where to go/how to get there, Plus a great surf instructor. Had me standing up on the first wave!
