HiTide Hostel

Llegamos a HiTide por nuestra reserva vacacional el día 28 de junio, la cual ya estaba pagada de forma online, y nos quisieron volver a cobrar porque no tenían ningún tipo de organización ni de conocimiento de dicha reserva. La chica de recepción no hablaba español, y con cada problema nos dejaba a la espera para preguntar al manager, Max, el cual no nos facilitó su número. Ya de inicio nos pareció que había falta de limpieza, nos dieron una habitación diferente a la que habíamos reservado. A la noche, cuando nos disponíamos a dormir, nos empezó a picar todo, encendimos la luz y teníamos una plaga de bichos (creemos que chinches) en el cabecero de la cama. Eran cerca de las 2am, nos facilitaron otra habitación en la planta de abajo y también tenía los mismos bichos. Terminamos “no durmiendo” en medio de un pasillo hasta la hora de poder ir a lavar la ropa, perdiendo así nuestra excursión planificada de vacaciones.

I cannot express how much I loved staying here. I came here on a solo trip and from the moment I walked in, volunteers and guests alike were incredibly open and welcoming. The vibe at the hostel is super laid back and they facilitate a bunch of different activities, from surfing and yoga to Taco Tuesdays and communal dinners. Summer vibes were impeccable even in January - the rooftop terrace is a great place to hang out and watch the sunset at the beautiful Playa de las Canteras. Location could not be better since it’s right on the beach and plenty of bars and restaurants are nearby. Facilities are super clean and bright. Even after only a few days, HiTide felt like a real home and I wish I could have stayed longer. Shoutout to the awesome volunteers (especially Eric!) for making this an unforgettable stay! Can’t wait to be back!

I was there at the best time when both the guests and the volunteers were special people. What is also important is that the low tide was in the afternoons and it was 23-26 C for a few days, which made the winter holid

The atmosphere is excellent, you can meet a lot of awesome people and spend your time preciously. I really love Vibe here. You can spend your time on awesome activities provided by people working here or the map with places worth to visit

stayed in a 6 bed dorm - was super clean. The staff and people staying were beautiful souls. Super communal vibe & volunteers organised amazing trips to the mountains, watching the sunset at the highest point on the mountain, hiking, skydiving, surfing, yoga, there was a boat party - honestly they had everything. Would defintiley recommend if you're doing a solo trip and want warm weather (went up to 25 degrees in January). It was super easy to meet friendly sociable people as there was a rooftop, volunteers hosted a fajita night to get everyone socialising but wasn't a crazy party hostel which was exactly what I was looking for. Ohh and a special shout out to Luisa - she deserves a raise ＜3

amazing calm, bright and spacious hostel first row on the beach with big rooms, kitchen and terrace. best place to stay at if you're traveling solo and are into surfing, exploring the island, meeting new friendly people and recharging generally. 10/10 would recommend and would always come back to this hostel. the people is the best part, it feels more like a big shared flat full of friends rather than a hostel full of strangers. Of course shoutout to the amazing volunteers Alain, Emily, Laura and Carlotta with whom it was great fun to live, do yoga and surf together with!

The place with the soul. I was there for a week and right now i cannot imagine i could be anywhere else. People and oportunities around creates a very pleasure spot to make a lot of activities, however you always can find your space for peace. 100% recomenation.

I had such a great stay at Hitide! The volunteers are all awesome, make you feel instantly welcome and go out of their way to include you in activities. The location is perfect, literally meters from the beach. It's a good base to explore Las Palmas and the rest of the island. The hostel itself was so clean, space for surfboards, spacious showers and toilets. Only thing I would have liked would be some curtains for the beds; especially the lower bunks by the door. Overall, I had an amazing stay and I can't wait to come back!
