Amayour Surf Hostel

I had an amazing 9-day stay here! The location was perfect, and the food was unreal!!! — seriously some of the best I’ve had. The Thursday barbecue was next level, so if you’re booking, do yourself a favor and stay on a Thursday! The communal meals made it super easy to meet people, and I left with some great new friends. Highly recommended!

The Amayour surf package was very good value for money. The stay at the mountain lodge resort was very peaceful and relaxing as well as the food being top notch in regards to taste and variety. Brown, the host was unbelievable and couldn't do enough for you, he is a credit to the lodge.

I had the best week at amayour camp . Many thanks to lovely Charlotte who was so friendly as well as all the surf instructors! The food was absolutely amazing - we didn’t go hungry ever and we all have huge appetites !!. My room was clean and bed made everyday when we got back from surfing which is great too. Thanks also to Hussain and the instructors for spending so much time in the water with us- you’ll never get better value for money with surf lessons. The guys will get you standing after the first day… I think I’ll be returning next year with more friends :D

I booked 4 nights at the mountain lodge but checked out early on day 4 after enduring 3 days of cold showers. Despite reporting the issue on day 1, it was never properly fixed. An engineer came on day 2, but we only had 5 minutes of hot water before it went cold again. On day 3, no one came despite our complaints, and by day 4, I left. Instead of offering a sincere apology, the manager (Shiraz) claimed the issue was "out of her control" and refused a refund, only removing the 4th night from my bill "as a gesture of goodwill." The lodge was also dirty and not cleaned daily. Dead cockroaches laid around for days. The bathroom smelled like sewage, and considering that you can’t flush toilet paper, it was unacceptable that bins weren’t emptied daily. Despite the remote location, it was also noisy at night with barking dogs, crowing roosters from 4 AM, and goats. Additionally, you’re forced to use the lodge's taxi service, which charges double the regular fare, making it difficult to get around. The WiFi signal was terrible, constantly dropping every few minutes. On a positive note, the chef was excellent, tailoring meals to suit all dietary needs, and the best part of the stay was Brown, the host, who was warm and attentive. However, despite these positives, I wouldn't recommend the lodge as better value can be found elsewhere.

We went for a week with friends and stayed in one of their hostel style bunk bed rooms. We had the best time - perfect for beginners to surf, the instructors were fun and patient. The hostel had a great vibe. Lots of people travelling solo and in groups. Loved the communal breakfasts and dinners. Food was amazing and a real highlight! Accomodation is definitely hostel style with simple rooms and shared bathrooms but everything was clean and rooms tidied everyday. Highly recommend and very keen to come back!

Absolute amazing trip! The staff was excellent, really hospitable! Would really recommend, will be back soon! The food was amazing, the villa was really clean - being up in the mountains is so nice. The yoga in the mornings is a great way to start the day!
