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

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.

Beds are a bit small, at least in the female dorm. The kitchen was not cleaned for some time it seemed. The staff is not often in the common areas so it’s harder to get a hold of them, specially we didn’t know when they were out.

The vibe is pretty chill, the staff is not strict about check-in or check-out times. They prepared our bed earlier even though we arrived around 6 in the morning so that was really nice. We had our own key so we could go in whenever we wanted. Big fridge we can use and some cooking tools available. Ivana was very kind.

My mosquito net had many holes in it, those mosquitoes kept me up at night

Friendly staff. There's hot water! There's also a cat.

Wally's house was one of my favorite in the world. We all cooked together most nights and such a friendly and peaceful vibe. By far the best hostel in Mancora. Thank you so much to Ivanna, Lisbet and Ivañelle. I will be back.

Nice ocean view from the penthouse

Staff is very nice and the place has a nice vibe! So nice that I stayed 4 days

Just a little quiet and not the most social hostel, atleast when I was there but it's ok depending on what you're looking for!

The staff were so friendly and sweet! Made the stay awesome. Was super affordable, great location, by the quiet end of the beach but only a 10 minute walk to the main part of town. The others I met in the hostel moved to Wally's from party hostels because they said they couldnt sleep there. Was really nice to have the separation. Also, Wally's has mosquito nets which is SUPER nice and important and I guess not all the other hostels have that.

Maybe for some People. You quite away from the main area of restaurants but their are cheap local restaurant on the main road. 5 min walk and 5 min walk to the beach you have a delicious pub and breakfast in the surf camp hostal. Also i really liked their sushi..the beach on that side was really quiet and relaxed. At that market you have the best ceviche i ate and more..cheap aswell. I enjoyed my stay a lot! Thank you for everything!

When i spotted immediatly wally on booking. I was sold quickly. And it was even more than i expected. A lovely small place to be.. bathrooms are clean and even hot water! I liked the bed and the room. I had it all for myself..even than..its spacious enough for 4..not noisy at nighttime..fan and anti crickets as moustique protectors available. I slept like a baby every night. Ivana and her mum are absolutly sweerhearts. Chill fun vibe..not many People in the hostel though i made friends..i love the hosts. Ivana arange a motor taxi. Took care of my wound etc. Wally welcomed me and give good instructions through whatsapp. I could stay longer if i had more time.. i absolutly recommend staying here..ivana and her mum are the bonus of these place!!

Chill spot situated close to the beach and main road. Wally was a real nice guy too

Stayed in June 2023

Wally's house was one of the nicest hostels I stayed during my trip so far. Mainly because the owner Wally makes you feel at home and the place is great for meeting new people. It is also located very close to the more quiet part of the beach, which I personally preferred. Can recommend it to everyone!

Everything!!! Wally is amazing host, hostel is cheap and clean and cozy

Stayed in May 2023

The only thing I can say is that the hostel is not in the main part of town, but this means it's quiet and everything is still walking distance and there are cheap mototaxis everywhere.

Wally is a really great host and he makes the hostel really beautiful and great for solo travellers. I arrived on a night bus and he waited up for me in the middle of the night, welcomed me, and gave me a bed to sleep in for a few hours until morning even though I had only booked from the night after. There were activities every day such as Peruvian traditional cooking and he has good tips on where to buy food, surf instructors etc. The rooms are cool and all beds have good mosquito nets
