    Oasis it is!

    We had to wait 10-15 mins after check in time (we arrived exactly at 14:00 pm) for our room to be ready but it wasn't a big issue since we could rest in the garden and take our free drinks. The sandboard and buggy tour could have been better, I guess, the buggy seemed really old and our guide spoke very limited English but we had a ton of fun, saw the sunset and had the "roller coaster" experience which helped a lot with jet lag :D The street leading to the hostel was under heavy construction so we had to carry (in the air) our suitcases. We were really happy that we just had carry-on. Not the hotel's fault, of course, just have in mind if this continues. It's a short walk (100m) but can be hard.

    This was our first night in Peru after 2 full travel days so when we arrived we were happy with our choice in the oasis. The room had everything we needed - comfy bed, private bathroom with shower and the most important - hot water. There was wifi although we used our esim service. Our room was on the second floor overlooking the lake and the sand dunes. It was clean which is hard to achieve considering the amount of sand around. The room temp was pleasant and we didn't use the provided fans. The hostel has a pool (we didn't use it so can't comment), a bar and a restaurant. They gave us a free drink each upon arrival which was a pleasant gesture, considering the outside temperature which was 32 degrees Celsius when we arrived (a lot cooler at night). The restaurant seemed to work all day and until late at the evening with some nice things on the menu, both local and international. We were there on Saturday so for dinner we had to wait more than an hour to be served. The kitchen and the drinks were nice. Of course it was loud until at least 23:00 pm but this is clearly stated and we were too tired to even mind it. We booked a sand boarding and buggy tour directly with the hotel and were happy with the service because it was easy. Perhaps there are more "luxurious" tours around but we were too tired to search. The price was reasonable and it was a good way to meet fellow travelers. What we enjoyed most in the hostel was the rooftop terrace where we spent most of our free time overlooking the dunes. Staff spoke some English and we could pay by card which was convenient. They booked a taxi for us back to Ica.

    Not the case

    Probably the best hotel in Huacachina. Superior rooms are good, tasty breakfast and nice personnel, also quiet, not the case in other places where parties last till morning.

    That I had to leave. lol you’ll love it there as long as you don’t go expecting a 5 star hotel

    Absolutely fantastic experience! I had the dormitory that was shared with 5 other persons and they were clean and respectful of everyone and keeping the noise down after hours. Their buffet breakfast provides great options in the morning and I was amazed. The food was delicious, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the surroundings were simply delightful and well kept. Can't wait to come back and stay again! The excursions are paid in cash. Some soles and some USD so keep that in mind when planning to book an excursion at the property

    I had a good time at Banana's. The room was air-conditioned and the bed was comfortable. The bar/restaurant was pretty good and reasonably priced. I would just say the price I paid for my stay is a little high for a hostel.

    Great location, stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was a great set up. Privacy curtain, light, shelf and plug. Bathroom was spacious and tucked in the corner. Lots of places to chill including the rooftop. Food was delicious and the staff behind the bar and desk were lovely. Breakfast starts early so you can still have something even if you go on the early Paracas tour.

    Quite small rooms (dormitory), but they have AC which is great (it’s SO HOT in Huacachina, be prepared!!). Clean place and their restaurant offers really good food! Perfect location. A bit pricey, but worth it.

    Pool was much smaller than expected and only partially has sun on it. No pisco sours the 2 nights we were there. Most bar food good much pizza wasn’t good, especially for the price.

    Comfortable and well equipped room and aircon was great bonus! Spacious and strong shower. Really good buffet breakfast. Friendly staff and general nice atmosphere with good music in evenings. Best social vibe in the evening, of the hostels in the area.

    The lockers are quite small and my padlock didn't fit through so had to carry valuables around.

    Hostel has a nice vibe: welcoming social spaces and good music. They respect the quiet hours, which means you can still get a good sleep. I loved that the beds had curtains and several charging points. The bathrooms were clean with hot showers. The restaurant was really good and breakfast was a full continental buffet. The location is great, with access straight onto the dunes.
