Awesome hostel with budget and open outdoor area terrace kitchen and restaurant. Enjoyed trekking dunes, sand skiing and Chilcano drink deal. Highly recommend !
Hi, I have spent 2 nights in November 2024 here. The staff is friendly. I have slept in a shared dormitory. Lockers incl. Key are provided. There is a kitchen on the terrace everybody can use. The shower offered also warm water. Moreover I was positively surprised that access to a swimming pool in front of the hostel was included:) best price for a hostel incl. Swimming pool and kitchen in Huacachina for this time :) Only disadvantage was that cameras are installed everywhere:S.. and the music from the restaurant disturbs sometimes :( Best regards, Maria
Nice balance between modern and integrated into its environment, rooms were nice, shared bathroom was clean but shower wasn’t really working properly. A drink is offered as gratuity to the bar which is kind. Only thing I would fix is the upper indoor window letting light go through the room overnight since they aren’t turned off.

Know before you go

  • Be cautious about personal belongings due to reported theft incidents
  • Consider bringing earplugs if sensitive to noise as there might be music disturbances at night
  • Take advantage of discounts offered at the hostel's bar for dining options
  • Avoid peak shower times after sandboarding activities for better water flow experience

Reviews

Desert Nights Hostel in Huacachina offers a mix of positive and negative experiences according to reviews. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, clean facilities, spacious rooms, access to a swimming pool, and a rooftop bar with great food and service. However, some concerns were raised about security cameras being intrusive, music disturbance at night from the restaurant, theft incidents without proper resolution from staff, unreliable Wi-Fi, and issues with water flow during peak usage times.

Great value. Friendly receptionists. The mosquitoes though, were annoying as heck. The water pressure is also very low (understandable for a hostel). There’s also a nice pool.
