When you visit Huacachina which I highly recommend you do, I can't urge you strongly enough to avoid this hostel until they improve their standards. We made the rookie mistake at the start of a long trip by asking the taxi driver to take us somewhere decent. This was without doubt the worst hostel of our 4 month trip in... More

We had a small room - not really clean but cheap. We had a broken window and music was played all night in the bar downstairs. We left on early morning !

As part of a group, we camped in the Hostal Rocha's grounds (a bit of sand at the back), but we did have use of one of the rooms to put bags in (and one of the group to sleep in). The room was filthy and insecure. There wasn't even a latch on the door, never mind a lock. The... More

I've stayed in a lot of hostels and this was the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. The toilet didn't work. The staff was creepy. The place looked as if it hasn't been cleaned in years and the worst of all the beds had BED BUGS. Do not stay here.

My night at this hostel was one of the longest in my life. I have stayed in a lot of hostels, and this was easily the worst. When we arrived, they tried to push many different add-ons onto our stay within the first five minutes before even letting us settle into our room. The room was DISGUSTING. First of all,... More

There is a pool with sun on it untill 3 pm. Furthermore, the breakfast is good as well as the information sharing... More

This place is a dump. Do not stay here. Rooms are filthy and look like they have survived an earthquake without being restored. The bathrooms are gross and not taken care of. The people working there were surprised to see me walk out after seeing the place. I'm not sure why. Avoid this dump. Stay elsewhere in Ica or Huacachina.

This hostel, while cheap with a pool & poolside bar, never had toilet paper and the shower curtain was covered in mold. But worse was the manager. He pressured us to use him for sandboarding. When we did, he reneged on the negotiated price, his driver was 30 minutes late and he put us in a sandbuggy that was clearly... More

I stayed in Huacachina for 3 nights, one night at Hostel Rocha, which was recommended by our taxi driver, because he said another hostel had thieves and I found that most people in the hostel were very nice except for the main man who was our biller. There were four of us that stayed there. The beds were soft, which... More
