+However long you think you need here, double it and book that many nights. We felt so at home here we wish we'd stayed at least one more night. Great spot for getting out of the hustle and bustle of Peruvian cities. Dario and Gigi are great hosts, making you feel like you've known them for years

“Beautiful, restful place in Huanchaco”
+My stay at Punta Huanchaco was hands down a highlight of my trip, mainly down to the kindness and generosity of Dario and Gigi. They look after their guests like they are family and really made me feel at home. Their place is also spotlessly clean, has a very restful relaxed vibe, and there are many adorable cats (and dogs). Do not hesitate to stay here!
−Nothing to dislike!

“Get ready to meet you new Peruvian family!”
+Darrio and Gigi were the best! They treat every traveler like a new part of their family. They are so generous with their time and recommendations. You'll come for the accommodations but leave with a second set of parents. I can't say enough good things about these two. Dario is an avid surfer and will help anyone with their surfing needs while there. Both have great suggestions for things to do and see while in town. The property has a bunch of cute little cats running around and an amazing dog. The property is about two blocks from the beach, so very ideal location for surfers and anyone who wants to be close to the water. Do yourself a favour and stay for longer than you think you want.

“Best hostel in Peru!”
+We had the best time staying at Punta Huanchaco Hostel! Gigi and Dario were our highlight, so kind, friendly and made our stay unforgettable. They really went above and beyond. The hostel is very clean, comfy and has everything you could need. The cats and dog are also just the cutest. It really felt like a home away from home and didn’t want to leave. Would 100% recommend and would love to come back.

“Absolutely wonderful and homey!”
+Gigi and Dario are such wonderful hosts! They made me feel as if I was at home and I adored hanging with the cats, they were lovely and well behaved. The amenities were perfect for the location, it being a small coastal town - clean, comfortable, and with strong WiFi for working days, too! Very walkable to the center of town and all of the surf lessons and beaches. Super safe area, just a few blocks away from the Main Street so it’s nice and quiet.

The accomidation was clean with spacious rooms, lots of common areas and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. I can’t fault this place, it was incredible!! Thanks for having us Gigi and Dario, we would highly recommend this place to all our friends, family and anyone visiting Huanchaco
