Everything. It's the second time we have stayed here. We arrived very late, because our bus ride took longer than expected. They waited for us until very late at night. Thank you

“A very nice place to stay”
There are many hostels and hotels in Canoa and I stayed only at this one so I can't compare it to any others, but this one is excellent. The entire place is excellent from the people working here to the building to the location to the rooms.

Beautiful hostal, warm welcome, very helpful staff 😀 Room was spacious and clean, great fan and mozzie net, good size bathroom en suite. Use of kitchen and lots of hammocks to chill in. Just a few mins walk to beach and all shops and cafes ... Canoa is a great place, lovely vibe, and Rutamar is an excellent place to stay there - highly recommend!

“Nice for a few days at the beach”
The location to the beach and the size of the room. The bed was comfortable and the windows had mosquito screens. Overall, the facilities were clean and the personnel were friendly and helpful. The fan in the room was a lifesaver in the heat!

“Quiet stay in Canoa”
Hostal Rutamar is amazing, it's perfect to relax and enjoy Canoa, friendly staff. The kitchen is well furnished, we cooked almost all our meals. You can rent surf boards for a very good price, unfortunalty it's not flexible (4hours only) so we had to go somewhere else.

“Lovely but a bit hot!”
This is a very nice hostel, friendly owners and a great location close to the beach. The place is kept very clean, there is a small kitchen which you are free to use and they provide mosquito nets which is great.

“A really good choice”
I only stayed one night here but had a really good night's sleep away from the noisy beachfront. The room was super clean and the towels and sheets pretty much five star; add to this solid internet, and a really friendly vibe. All my boxes were ticked and I would happily stay again.

“Amazing”
I loved staying here. There is such a sweet familiar atmosphere! It is perfectly located, the staff were super helpful and caring and the breakfast was delicious every time. If you wanna relax and take surf classes, it’s perfect, but if you wanna party go somewhere else ;)

“Great Location and Pleasant hostel”
This is a very pleasant hostel, staff hospitable especially the head lady. Outdoor area a bonus with outside entrances to each unit. Very clean and well maintained. Great location to the beach and many restaurants and stores.

“Beautiful tree-house style hideaway”
For me, the location was perfect - one street back off the beach - there are 'beachfront' properties, but they look out onto the road and people walking up and down - this location was a 2 minute walk from the beach (we nipped back and forth all day), but much quieter. The design is so cool, and very laid back. There is hot water and a fan in the room. We had breakfast one morning, which was lovely, but a tad expensive. There are lots of other places you can get breakfast - we tried a different place each day. I didn't want to leave!

“A week well spent!”
There are hostels where you’ll find a place to sleep…and then there are places like this. With it‘s tranquility, beautiful backyard, right-at-home feeling and heartfelt hospitality of Javier and the whole Rutamar family it‘s the perfect place to rest and charge your batteries. Nestled in laid back Canoa with it’s authentic surf culture (and amazingly empty line ups!), there’s waves for everybody. In case you want to get your first surf experience or refresh your dusted skills, David, the on-site surf instructor comes highly recommended. He made sure that my pop-up was flawless, which really paid off in the water (after hating him on the beach for it, of course).
