I love the people their really nice, laid back. It's peaceful here.

Crazymyworld United States of America

The owners are cool people and the place is really nice

Oscar Ecuador

Great atmosphere and super friendly attitude of the hosts. They made me feel part of the family during my stay. Also took me for a night walk to show me around the small town and the beach and recommended some places to visit the next day. The place is new as they moved the highly-rated Mapacho hostel from Baños (where I met these guys for the first time a few weeks ago) to San Mateo and they are still finalizing some things. They showed me a great terrace on the roof that will soon be ready and available for guests to relax in the open air.

Stoyan Bulgaria

This place has more character than any of the other Ecuadorian hostels I stayed in so far. Amazing owners: very welcoming, they treat you like family. Highly recommend!

Anonymous Ecuador

Nichlas Denmark

The hosts at Mapacho House are AMAZING!! They went out of their way to help us with bus rides and much more. They are great people to hang out with and they cooked an excellent breakfast.

Katy Ecuador

Everything was great from the family like atmosphere Isabelle & Charli & brother Emanuel were so friendly and helpful..the brealfasts were amazing and you can't beat the location...

Darryl Canada

The hosts, Charlie, Emanuel, and Isabella are incredible and make you feel like your home. They also provided an excellent service. For example, my friend needed filters to roll his cigarettes and Charlie brought him some from town. They also organized a cab that would do several stops before heading to the bus terminal. The breakfast was amazing including a healthy fruit bowl, a fruit plate, toasts, scrambled eggs, cheese and ham, coffee, and a fruit juice. The hostal is located within a 5-minute walk from the beach where we were able to surf the legendary long left point break.

Demian Switzerland

The staff was friendly and thoughtful. The rooftop was good for chilling. The location was great, near from the beach and in front of the bus stop. Easy to access to the downtown of Manta. Mattress was comfortable and the room was clean.
