Like at a lot of places there theres a bit of a water problem but theres enough to shower… Far away from a big supermarket…

Its right next to the ocean, you have a great view from the terrace area, its a really big house which is really open and theres space for everyone, theres even a room just for Yoga. The people that work there are really welcoming and friendly. They do events like bonfire, karaoke and movie nights for free. Its a really good place to chill and enjoy the beach and surfing.

Amazing place. The building is beautiful and the deck and front lawn have the best view in Lobitos but the people are what make it so special. The staff and volunteers are beyond friendly. From the moment I arrived they treated me like family, invited Me out to dinner, to surf and to cook and eat with them. Can’t wait to go back!

The shower wasn't with a lot of water?

The view, the garden and the paintings.

Amazing location, just a few steps from the sand. The view is unique and spectacular. Watching the sunset at La Casona's balcony is a true experience. The staff was amazing. Both Fiorela and Oscar made everything they could to make me feel at home, and it really feels like home. The volunteer staff was great also.

The hostal was in a great location literally on the beach. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Was only planning on staying for a couple of days but ended up staying for 4 because we loved it so much. Would definitely recommend!

La Casona has the best viewpoint of Lobitos! Perfect for watching sunsets and surfers

Shower has only cold water

International staff/volunteers and local staff made my days wonderful, made me feel like one of them. They are always caring and joyful; they will help you with whatever you need. Breakfast is simple but fair enough 👌 Rooms are clean and comfortable. Location of the house is the best in town; it has definitely the best view of all.

it wasn’t very clean, nor did you see anyone do cleaning. the staff were volunteers so they weren’t very knowledgeable, probably because they aren’t there very long. didn’t get sheets or towels when we switched rooms, didn’t even get a lock when we switched rooms. there wasn’t running water in our private showers, in both rooms, or even the public shower, even after they confirmed there’d be water. overall just felt like some of the staff didn’t have the tools to accommodate us. the breakfast is obsolete. overall a high price for what you get.

the location has a nice view. the maintenance man was very active though, seemed to be fixing things.

There was no wifi, no food, no snacks. Very little water. The space felt run down with little effort put into the upkeep of the space.

Location

Stayed in May 2022

La Casona has a lot of potential. The impression I got from the website and Booking.com was that there was a restaurant on premises. There isn't. Also it looked like they had yoga classes/mats available, but when we asked one of the foreign employees said "there were mats last week, but I don't know what happened to them." There is no breakfast or any food service. Markets in Lobitos are limited so best to stock up in Talara. There are plenty of good places to eat in town: La Cora has excellent cebiche and Relajate is a good restaurant right on the beach. The WiFi also doesn't work so be aware of that, though one doesn't go to Lobitos to surf the web, it is good to have access in a pinch. The Casona has a great terrace for viewing the sunset but very little is in the shade and there is a total lack of mats and cushions to be comfortable out there. Also, the hammocks they have are more like fishing nets and really uncomfortable. In short, La Casona has all the makings for a great place to stay and with the most minimal improvements it could be much better.

La Casona is in a marvelous location, with the best sunset views in Lobitos. It is an historic building and the staff was friendly, though most are fellow travelers who work there so local knowledge is limited. Oscar, the owner of the property, is very kind and was generous enough to take us to a secret surf spot nearby. That was very kind of him to do. He is very knowledgeable about the area. There are spots to hang your wetsuits and store your boards in an inner courtyard. There is also tea available in a nice salon area and an art gallery on the premises. You can walk to most everything. The rooms are spartan but comfortable enough. The bed was very comfortable. Water is precious along the coast of Peru and Lobitos is no exception. Most everything is done with water tanks rather than running taps. Be aware that there are no bath towels provided to guests. But the beer is ice cold!
