The staffs are super friendly and their dog Mandela is cutest living thing in this world! The tent was fantastic and was dreamy. The pizza 🍕 she made was delicious and I would rate this place 10/10. Must visit place with your friends gang as it’s a chilling place .

“This is one of my favorite places in Uruguay”
For me this place was 10/10. The owners are so incredibly kind. I felt so much at home. And there was more to like: the bed was comfortable, everything was clean, the kitchen is well equipped, breakfast was good, the location is only a few minutes walk from the beach. The city center is a bit further away but you can rent a bike at the hostel and reach the center easily in 15 a 20 min.

“Amazing stay!”
Absolutely fantastic stay at La Brujula. Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. Rooms very lovely, very clean with individual lockers. Showers were great, with consistent hot water and were kept very clean as were the toilets. There’s a great communal space to relax and the hostel is very close to the beach. Staff are all lovely and very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent too. Overall an amazing experience and very good value for money!

“Highly recommend”
The hostel has plenty of nice areas to relax and socialize, benches, chairs, hammocks - wonderful to meet new people. All staff members are very warm, friendly and try to help you in any way they can. The dorm beds are comfy, extra blankets are available. The room has a sufficient number of sockets. The breakfast is amazing! The kitchen is more or less outdoor, equipped with plenty of pots and pans and usually clean and tidy.

“Amazing place, highly recommended”
This hostel is the best I've stayed at so far in south America. Everything about the place was amazing - so eco friendly, and a really wholesome family vibe about the place. Also somehow the cheapest place we stayed at, so couldn't ask for more. Staff were always lovely, even though our Spanish was limited. Highly recommend

“Best hostel in Uruguay”
What not to like! The hostel is a very nice space 100 from the beach. Sergio, Gabriela and their son are down to earth and honest people. They have created a gem with their own hands! They also grow their own veggies that can be purchased by guests. All facilities are good and breakfast is the best one I have had in my time in Uruguay. It s a place where one can meet and enjoy time with the other guests in the many different areas of the property or chill out and have some solo time I d defo stay again...no questions asked!
