Hidden House Hostel
Our hostel brings you the heart and soul of Montañita, with huge open communal areas, a fully equipped kitchen, free WiFi, hot water, and lush greenery; you'll be staying at a veritable backpacker's paradise!
We're two young friends from England and Ecuador who decided to make the beautiful beach town of Montañita our home. As such, we treat all guests and volunteers as if you're our family and will happily sit with you and a beer talking about all there is to talk about!

I really enjoyed my time at Hidden House: the common areas are big and well organised, perfect to socialise.
Cherry on top were the other volunteers, I feel like we made a great team and worked really well together.
Accommodation should be better, the volunteers’ room is overcrowded and there is barely any space to walk or put your stuff.
Jose helped with everything we needed, however I feel like the volunteers should be taken better care of. Most of the times we were left to interact with the manager, who always brushed off anything we had to say and often talked down to us

La experiencia en hidden house es enriquecedora y muy divertida, pues permite conectar con otros voluntarios de diferentes países y conocer de sus culturas, además tiene una muy buena ubicación dentro de Montañita pues está a dos cuadras de la playa y muy cerca al centro,.
Las instalaciones del hostal cómodas.
Sugerimos al anfitrión explicar un poco mejor las tareas al momento de la llegada.
Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra estancia aquí, Montañita es un lugar hermoso y esta es una experiencia q sin duda vale la pena

Hidden House is a really nice spot to volunteer at. It's super quite and chill now, not a party hostel as it used to be. Jose is welcome and always help you whatever you need. One of the best parts is that you can use hostel's surfboards for free. I'd definitely recommend you to stay at Hidden House if you want to spend a couple of weeks in Montañita
The reason I give a 4 is that I applied for a bartender position, but there was not much work and I had to change it to reception at the hostel

This experience was good overall. The tasks are easy (reception and cleaning) and the schedule can be flexible. During your stay you can experience living and meeting other international travelers, learn or practice surf and party with other volunteers.
Thank you José for making our stay really enjoyable !
