I cannot thank Paul and the hostel team enough. It's been my second home for the past month and I could have not asked for a better experience and environment. The work itself is very relaxed and exactly as presented. Paul takes his time to explain everything that you need to know and is always available on the phone for any issue that could raise. The hostel is wonderful and the vibe is very friendly and comfortable. I ended up staying longer than initially planned and am now very sad to be finally leaving. Huanchaco was a great place to stay, I definitely recommend the experience!
