Very cozy place for an unforgettable memory
The host gave us a warm welcome and it’s a whole building with two rooms and one well-equipped kitchen!
The hostel located at a quiet place and natural garden with some cute little pets walking around us. It’s so lovely to stay in the hotel and have a good time on the beautiful island when we finish the local trip.
Highly recommend!

great stay with good hospitality
Great hospitality from Maria and Maritza, also good that they have car rental which is cheaper than the outside shops. Provide daily House keeping which keeps the room nice and fresh which is rare for a hostel. Nice lounge area. Only draw back is the rooster as they make noise at 5am, also has a white duck which attacks people. It chased me and also other guests. So do keep a look out. But overall stay and very value for money!

The owner took me for a drive around to get me acquainted with the place. The room was spacious. The kitchen was stocked with the tools I needed for cooking. The places was quiet... a bit out of town. There are animals around the place... cats, dogs, chickens. It was a great place and I would go back again.

Was second time in my life someone was waiting for me with flower necklace at airport . That was Maria cheerful welcoming and we immediately clicked. I’m list I felt I was home the whole stay. Beautiful manicured garden, A perfect setup for few rooms she manages. Maria always asked if i needed a ride to town although I prefer to walk. Right after pickup she gave me the gran tour of the island especially my first Moai. Loved the juices in the morning breakfast.
Le coup de gras was the last night of stay Maria hosted a tuna barbecue wine and all.
I have stayed while traveling on motorcycle in thousand of place and Maria Pukao hospitality comes on top. The best hospitality so far!
Thanks Maria!

Excellent host and lovely environment
Our host Melissa has been very friendly and helpful, picked us from and to the airport, and drove us around for a quick tour in the main area, adviced some nice restaurants to go. The hostel is located 15 minutes drive away from the main street (car rental is highly recommended), but sets in a natural environment with horses, chicken and dog. room is quiet and spacious, clean kitchen separated from room, and beautiful starry sky at night. Melissa made us very nice and fresh breakfast too! Particularly loved the fruit juice. a perfect escape for us.

Nice B&B Out of Town
Miss Maria was a fantastic host. She went out of her way to take us places and tell us about her island. She makes an amazing breakfast with fresh juice daily. Even though, we didn't speak much Spanish, she tried her best at English and taught us a few things. The place is a little out of town, but it's walkable and part of the charm.

We stayed at this hostal for almost a week, the best thing we love about here is the breakfast, the host prepares different kinds of delicious foods and juices everyday, and it's like brunch to us so we could almost skip lunch everyday. The distance to downtown is about 15-20mins of walking which isn't too bad and you get to enjoy walking in the residential areas a bit.

Isabel, the owner, made a lot of effort towards making the stay pleasant, including providing a tour of the main town when you reach the island, airport pick-up and airport drop-off. The room was basic, but had hot water and was cleaned everyday. The place was pleasant - it had kittens and puppies and was amazingly green. The wifi is also good for Easter Island (though don't come to Easter Island expecting to do anything like plan your trip).
The main issue I had was more of a general issue as Easter Island is not a place suitable for people who don't drive and the hostel is 20 min walk from the main town. The people of Easter Island (not including taxi drivers and taxi companies who are extremely unreliable and try to get as much money out of tourists as possible) are lovely and would offer to send you to your destination if they see you walking, but it would probably be better to stay in the main town if you don't know how to drive (or learn how to drive before going to Easter Island).

About 20 minute walk from the main part of town. Friendly owner, who gave a tour around town. Simple but delicious breakfast, including fresh juice, and eggs or pancakes every morning. Lot of animal noise around, which added to the rural feel of the area. Relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Wonderful place, great hosts!
Our stay was wonderful and this despite the fact we had to stay in the island for four additional days due to an airport staff strike in Chile. Maria Isabel, Gonzalo and Nelson made our stay a lovely experience in a wonderful island such as Rapa Nui. The breakfast was wonderful, room was clean and tidy and they were very helpful and make us feel comfortable as we were at home. Beautiful hostel with a lot of animals including the beautiful horse Bella!
