Hidden House Hostel
Our hostel brings you the heart and soul of Montañita, with huge open communal areas, a fully equipped kitchen, free WiFi, hot water, and lush greenery; you'll be staying at a veritable backpacker's paradise!
We're two young friends from England and Ecuador who decided to make the beautiful beach town of Montañita our home. As such, we treat all guests and volunteers as if you're our family and will happily sit with you and a beer talking about all there is to talk about!

The bar is closed, now it's a church, so discounts on bars and parties don't work because there are never any parties, the kitchen is extremely makeshift, the bathroom is very small and the refrigerator is broken, the host is respectful although not sociable, and there is almost nothing to do at the hostel since only half of the hostel remains.

Ecuador
Our experience at the hostel was very rewarding. José was an excellent host, always kind. The tasks and the schedules were clear from the start, and if you need any schedule adjustment, they are always willing to take it into account. The activities are simple, the communication is clear, and, moreover, the atmosphere is very friendly. You have the opportunity to connect with other volunteers. We requested to perform volunteering as a couple and our request was accepted. We are very grateful for the opportunity and definitely recommend living this experience.

I had such a great 2 weeks at this hostel volunteering. Jose was a very relaxed and flexible host and was always very easy to get in contact with. The actual work was enjoyable and helped me practice my Spanish with both ecuadorian and other Latin travellers. I would recommend this place to someone who wants to enjoy montañita, be social at the hostel and see the surrounding beaches/towns!

My stay was really great. I had already been to the Hidden House ten years ago. This time half of the hostel was rented out and they didn't have a kitchen, but José improvised one that worked very well.
I slept in a private room; the hostel is very spacious, just a few meters from the beach, there is a party whenever you want and you can also rest very well.
Highly recommended to volunteer at the Hidden House
