Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This is definitely a spot for a spring break kind of crowd. A couple days before check in, the property did mention that the partying would go on until 1 am on weekdays, 2am on weekends, but by then, it was too late to book elsewhere else. They gave out earplugs, it’s that loud. It’s right in the center of all the action. If you’re looking for more comfort amenities, Ica is a better place to look. Sandy floors, hard beds, bad lighting

Lovely hostel in Huacachina, though it felt more like a hotel. The entire town is loud, but this felt like the least loud option. Ha! Simple, but lovely, clean, new rooms. Happy with our choice and would stay again!

Nice and clean, but no TV and very loud during the night. It's good for young people, not recommended if you want to relax or if you go to bed before 12am even 1am. They have game every night that's why is too loud.

Its good for the price... However expect a cold shower with little to no pressure. After going sand boarding and all, good pressure is kinda useful which they lacked.

What a dumpster.

Where do I begin? We arrived and the room was missing the AC remote control. Then the ceiling above the bunk bed spaces were loaded with cow webs with dead bugs. Then the bathroom had mosquitoes. You’d think putting a hotel near a pond you’d put bug screens on the windows? Nah, why bother? The window was open therefore mosquitoes were present. Mgmt’s solution? To spray Raid (Baygon) in the room we were to sleep. Eventually Service came and cleaned the webs and dead bugs. Here comes the finger. This is a desert spot where you do sand surfing and buggy driving in the hot sun for hours. You’d think what a nice shower awaits you to end the day. Man, cold water only and I found there was no soap or shampoo in the dispensers after I started showering. It took them an hour plus to send motel soap and shampoo. Don’t bother complaining, there’s no leadership, it’s run by Teens seems like. Did they offered to fixed it you’d ask? I’m still waiting from upper mgmt to contact me and give me my money back. The whole ordeal cost me precious sleep for me and my family. We had to leave for a tour at 6:30am. Won’t ever come back and won’t recommend it to anyone with family.

Nowhere in the description does it say the place has loud parties even on weekdays until 2/3am. I only found out the day of my arrival when they message me that if I want a quiet place they could arrange another accommodation, but their solution was a hotel 100 soles more expensive per night and with a lower rating, which is ridiculous. If I knew I wouldn't not be able to sleep, I would never have booked this place. The room itself was clean but there were a lot of marks and stains on the walls.
