Guest Reviews
- Gimena (10/5): Increíble! - La vibra!!! Ana es una crack. El chef hace una comida exquisita!! Está a 2 pasos de donde te dejan los camiones. Siempre impecable de limpio! Fue como estar en casa 🫶🏽 Quizás habría que mejorar el tema del olor a comida cuando hace frio y tiene que estar todo cerrado.
- Boudjellal (8/5): -
- Isabel (10/5): - Muy buena ubicación, las chicas del hostel muy amables, baños limpios, ambiente increíble. La comida del bar/restaurante un 10, también hay cocina equipada para hacerse comidas y desayunos. Muy recomendable para personas que viajen solas.
- Kyla (1/5): Awful. If you want to be ignored, eaten by bugs and not sleep you have come to the right place! - You could see the stars I requested two beds. We were put under the roof. Could barely stand. The doors did not lock and we were eaten by bugs. Band played till 3 am and then the dj kicked in till 5 am. Not at all the welcoming vibes we were expecting - we packed up and left early the next day even though we had 2 nights booked.
- Caio (8/5): Boa experiência - Pessoal gentil e solicito, local tranquilo
- Alicia (7/5): Tolle Erfahrung, aber alles recht spartanisch - Super Lage, Abends gab's ein Lagerfeuer mit live Musik und leckeres Essen Im Restaurant. Generell herrscht in Cabo Polonio einfach ein sehr entspannter, lockerer Vibe - das hat sich auch im Hostel widergespiegelt. Die Räume sind wirklich sehr sehr klein, man lebt auf engstem Raum. Das Frühstück war wirklich sehr klein, mit einer Scheibe Toast, ein klein bisschen Ei und 3 Apfelspalten.
- Edilene (9/5): Excelente custo beneficio - Cama confortável, chuveiro bom, ótimo café da manhã e localização

Restaurant/bar sur place si besoin
Cuisine extérieure avec des ustensiles en bon état
Accès internet
Feu le soir
Emplacement central parfait (à 3min à pied du bus/camion) et proche du « supermarché »
Aménagement des espaces extérieurs
Douche chaude
Possibilité de charger le matériel électronique grâce aux panneaux solaires ou aux générateurs Chambre privatives accessibles par un mini escalier un peu ardu, et vous ne tenez pas debout dans la chambre, c’est à prendre en compte car tout le monde ne pourrait pas y aller (même si moi perso ça ne m’a pas dérangée)
Le bruit du générateur quand il fonctionne peut parfois un peu dégrader l’expérience
- Ana (7/5): Tal vez se deba considerar a huéspedes mayores para brindar otro tipo de atención mas acorde. - La ubicación y el ambiente muy cordial. El restaurante con show esta muy bueno. Las vistas. Todo estaba muy limpio. Que estaba casi toda la atención a cargo de otros huéspedes que hacían voluntariado. El desayuno no fue servido aunque después se me reintegro el importe sin problemas.
- Marguerite (10/5): Court mais très belle expérience - L’ambiance était incroyable, on a très bien été accueilli. Plusieurs personnes parlent français. Il y avait un concert. Le lieu est très beau et très mignon. C’est très bien placé, disons que c’est dans le centre, pas loin de tout. Les chambres sont très petites et il ne faut pas avoir peur de monter sur le lit mais c’était super ! Exactement ce qu’on recherchait ! Attendez-vous à tout payer en liquide et l’électricité dépend du soleil ! Le gérant est super gentil et disponible pour répondre aux questions !

- Ana (10/5): - Location is perfect, the stuff is friendly
- Melisa Silva Pereyra (8/5): El lugar más lindo para quedarse en Cabo Polonio - Muy lindo ambiente, muy buena onda su dueño y todo el personal, el fogón a la noche, el bar y los shows musicales. Todo me gustó.
- Paula (6/5): Be prepared for a rustic stay - Nice location, nice bar. I got upgraded to a private room for the same price. I felt unformcortable because the owner added me on instagram using my personal details from the booking. He said it was to make sure I was safe in el Cabo but I found it very inappropriate.
- Racha (10/5): - Good one
- Dardo Sebastian (5/5): - La ubicación es excelente. Lo mejor es el perrito! El personal poco atento! Eramos 3 personas en el hostel y nunca nos ofrecieron opciones para comer si queríamos, solo atendían a los comensales. Parecíamos el decorado, nadie te daba bola. Terminamos cenando en otro lado. Las habitaciones son muy chicas y hay poco lugar para guardar las cosas. Las duchas solo las habilitan 1 hora.
- Subramaniam (9/5): -
- Dominino (10/5): - Gran lugar para desconectar
- Martin (9/5): en el corazón de punta del este - Ubicación preciosa, sobre todo el jardín con piscina. Limpio y comodo. Muy céntrico, a pocos pasos de la playa. Personal muy amable. Una experiencia fantástica. Nada, todo fue lindo.
- Aman laura (10/5): - Los baños siempre limpios. La ubicación hermosa. Las noches de fogón no tienen precio
- Maximiliano (10/5): - Buena ubicación No quedarme mas dias
- Miguel (10/5): dias increíbles y inolvidables en CP - la gente demasiada buena onda!!! Julio es un absoluto crack asi como el resto del staff, superb realmente! comida 10/10, ubicacion perfecta perfecta, fue mi segunda vez en el hostel, y ya tengo la tercera cuadrada jajaja habian un par de sancudos en la habitacion q no nos dejaban dormir, nada que un repelente no resolvera, pero era una molestia. pero bueno, es el precio de estar en la naturaleza, no problem!
- Dayenú (10/5): Mar y Fuego: Un lugar para compartir la magia de Cabo Polonio - Cabo Polonio es, sin duda, uno de los lugares más mágicos del mundo. Lobo Hostel Bar es precioso, construido en autoconstrucción, lo que le da un encanto muy especial. La gente es muy buena onda y el ambiente invita a compartir.
Además, se puede cocinar y por las noches hacen un fogón precioso donde puedes encontrarte y compartir con otras personas que están alojando.
¡Grande, Lobo Hostel Bar!

- Ignacio (10/5): Had to stay for longer, was really good - Everything was excellent, a magical experience. We were going to stay for 2 nights and ended up staying 4 because we loved it so much.
Todo, excelente, una experiencia mágica, íbamos 2 noches y nos terminamos quedando 4 noches porque nos gustó mucho. Nothing, it was awesome.
Nada, estuvo genial.
- Ignacio (10/5): Magia pura, vayan - The best hostel I've ever stayed at, a wonderful experience. Live music, a bonfire with chairs and a bar, amazing people, and a place to watch the stars. Pure magic. Go, I highly recommend it.
El mejor hostel que estuve, una experiencia maravillosa, musica en vivo, fogon con sillas y bar, la gente, lugar para ver las estrellas. Magia pura, vayan, se los recomiendo. Nothing it was wonderful.
Nada, estuvo muy bueno.
- Ignacio (10/5): - Muy buena onda los chicos del hostel, las duchas super cómodas y cocinan rico... De noche se arma fogón

- Floris (8/5): Very good -
- Pietro (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel has a nice cozy vibe and it's in the middle of Cabo Polonio. Thank you to the staff that really put in the effort to make the hostel feel like home 🙏
- José (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (6/5): A Slightly Disappointing Hostel in Gorgeous Cabo Polonio - Lobo Hostel Bar is ideally located near the 4x4 shuttle drop off point in Cabo Polonio. The food at the bar/restaurant is good. The 4 bed dorm was tiny and cramped. It faced the restaurant area so it was generally noisier than other rooms at the hostel.
Electricity to charge any rechargable devices was limited to evenings since that was the time that the generator was operating. The alternate wind-powered generator was unreliable.
The gas stove in the kitchen was not usable until a staff member turned on the propane from the restaurant kitchen area - usually around 7:15 am. This delayed making breakfast if you are and early riser.
The kitchen utensils and available kitchenware are limited.
- Walter (7/5): Good -
- Camila (4/5): Overrated - Good location, nice people staying there and overall staff, live music around the fire pit. There’s a bar in the place so it’s also convenient. The owner, very pretentious, not really caring for the guests. The wifi never worked, which is fine but it wasn’t working for days, so simply don’t say you have wifi, that’s false advertising:). I’ve visited the bar in the past and had a not so nice interaction with owner but I de used to give the hostel a chance this time, only to re confirm he is very impolite and a bit disrespectful.
The rest of the staff was very nice, like Pame and Heidi.
- Rowan (9/5): Superb -
- Abel (7/5): Good - The atmosphere of the place. Very laid back and hippie like. Also, the food in the restaurant waar really good The room was very small and the rest rooms and showers were very very basic. Also, no wifi. But I guess the (low) price makes up for it
- Rosalie (4/5): Vibe of Cabo polonio was really nice, so I tried to be as little as possible in that hostel - Staff is nice Not clean - shared bathroom are very smelly + not clean, i would not go barefoot
« Room », if you can call it a room, was not clean either and full of sand. You could not stand in the room, it was literally just a mastress on the floor. Not Even space to change.
When doing the reservation you had 2 options: one less expensive and it showed that it was that “room” with no space. Another one that was more expensive but it seemed like it was more a room. I took that one, but still got the one with no space at all.
- Baruch (10/5): Exceptional -
- Libby (8/5): Enjoyable but very rustic - I had a great stay at Lobo. Although there were problems it is more than the sum of its parts, and the warmth and friendliness the staff made my time really enjoyable. The 4-person dorm room was very small but it was quiet and I was able to sleep well. The kitchen is quite sparsely equipped and the fridge doesn’t work - for me this was the biggest inconvenience. The bathrooms were fine. There’s electricity and the wifi worked well. The location is fantastic- really easy to find off the bus and having the on-site restaurant was useful. As mentioned, the staff were brilliant. In spite of the rustic nature of the property it was still a really good place to stay as a young person. If you need more creature comforts and a more polished experience then another hostel might suit you better. Very small rooms and lack of refrigerator. Generally a very rustic property
- Inês (8/5): Good place - They have hot water and the shower was good. The kitchen is ok and you can cook there. The staff is friendly. The location is amazing. Everything was clean. The food at the bar is very good and at night there's a very fun atmosphere not until super late at night. The room is super small, there is almost no space for 4 people. The owner is sometimes super friendly but when there are unresolved issues he tries to avoid dealing with them.
- Diego (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julia (9/5): Loved it! -
- Vlad (9/5): Wonderful stay in Cabo Polinio - A very friendly and warm place in Cabo Polonio. Felt like being at home for a week with the lovely people and volunteers who made the place special. Cabo Polonio is a special vibe.
- Nicole (9/5): Cosy place - The bonfire place right at the front is great as well as the rooftop terrace. I also liked the vibe of Cabo Polonio itself as they got ready for the high season. The rooms are tiny and dark. You can't sit upright on your bed.
- Dimple (10/5): Exceptional -
- Miguel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kinga (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is very nice and friendly. The hostel has a very nice atmosphere. If you want luxury, it's not what you are surching for, but if you want a place to get to know people and enjoy your time in this beautiful place than go there.
- Pavan (7/5): Good -
- Horst (9/5): Superb - The hostel is small, which I liked. I was served fantasic food (fish) prepared by the world best cocinero!!!
- Kaapo (8/5): Very good - All in all pretty good. Be sure to carry a lot of cash. Cabo Polonio is stunning place. Tried to charge me more before I said that in Booking I saw that the price was lower. Restoside is also a bit pricier
Take mainly cash, but possibility to pay by paypal - with servicefee10%+extra 15% (or smthing)+paypal tax it gets a lot more expensive.
- Yannick (10/5): Little oasis of comfort - Even though I booked a shared room the host let me choose one of the single rooms as I was the only guest (off-season). The house is cute, they put up candles during the night but there are even a few LEDs in the rooms at night as the place has solar panels and a small wind turbine. I was lucky to be there during a star-bright night and observed the Milky Way from the roof terrace. The place is right next to the little supermarket and very close to the terminal. The place also offers food but I found the menu prices rather expensive. This appears to be a general issue in Uruguay though
- Ana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ana (10/5): Exceptional - I like staying there , I would like to come again Everything is fine
- Anique (7/5): Good -
- Daniel (9/5): Superb - It is very central in the small village, and it has the rustic vibe that was expected. It had warm water, and the beds were comfortable. Overall it was clean, and the vibe of the hostel and the people there was amazing. Fireplace outside during the night, nice to share with the people there. Very central for Cabo Polonio's size. Really recommend. The bed sheet could be a bit better, and the room is not so comfortable for tall people. There is no eletricity in the rooms, and phones must be charged in the living room. No wifi as well, and not card payemnt. But minor factors that doesn't change how good it was, and also work more as warning to those who go.
- Carolina (8/5): Very good - Good location in cabo polonio, great food and helpful and nice staff Small rooms but you can't expect so much luxury in cabo polonio
- Krystel1984 (8/5): Cabo Polonio experience - Great lively hostel with live music, a restaurant, a bar. The menu was great, great variety. The location is good, on the main "road", very cool atmosphere at night. The bedrooms are very small and without power point or any wifi. The Claro signal was only working when standing on the roof of the hostel. Service for drinks at the restaurant was particularly slow, even for a simple coffee or glass of wine.
- Ogle (7/5): Good -
- Carolina (10/5): Absolutely amazing. Staff was excellent and lovely. Guests were very friendly. - Everything was very clean and well maintained. Rooms in the upstairs don’t have stand up space. Can be easily assisted with by using a small stool to organize yourself in the room.
- Gaikkee (5/5): Passable - Room is too small
- Noemie (10/5): Great!! - It was so clean, super chill, the ocean view deck is amazing! The vibe at the fire at night is great. The staff is amazingly helpful. I’d say the only thing missing is a hammock on the deck ! Other than that, the kitchen is not so well equipped and is small but anyway, you’re not going to cook wild meals while you’re there.
- Lucy (6/5): Cool hostel but they need mosquito nets - Close to the beach, nice roof deck, friendly staff, good food No mosquito nets, the mosquitos were terrible. If you plan to come here bring your own mosquito net. None of us slept because it was so bad
- Ml (7/5): Good -
- Danya (10/5): Exceptional - Hermoso lugar!
- Severin (10/5): Perfect place to enjoy life :) - Very nice Hostel, with a great kitchen and super friendly and nice crew🥰

- Baldini (5/5): It was ok. - location cleanliness, bed, room, living area, bathroom
- Lucas (6/5): Pleasant -
- Oscar (9/5): Good place to visit cabo polonio. - Staff and location. A little cold. And they can fix leaks.
- Ella (10/5): Exceptional - The 4 bed dorm is small, but all you need. Spent all the time outside, walking on the beach, seeing the Faro, meeting people in the bar. Had a campfire every evening and livemusic. I just enjoyed the stay. This place is something special. The stuff is so friendly and we had so much fun! Crazy lady te amo ;) Nada
- Hannah (10/5): Exceptional - Such a great, comfortable hostal with amazing staff! Very close to the beach, wonderful restaurant, great people- everything you need for a great stay. Everything was great!

- Jerrard (9/5): Superb - Excellent host and beautiful location
- Silvia (10/5): Exceptional - Great atmosphere overall and the owner, Silvia, made me feel really at home.
A magical place, extended my stay and was sad to leave.
The dog + cat just make the place even more perfect.
- Joseph (10/5): A stay to remember, in a town I won't forget - Wonderful location, hosts, hostel, guests and overall experience. Stripped back, honest and perfectly fitting for the vibe of the peninsula. The hosts were friendly, warm and welcoming, a pleasure to chat to and I felt right at home, alongside the other guests who I spent the evening chatting to. I will remember this place fondly!
- Sebastien.j (10/5): Like Paradise - Everything to make your stay a life in paradise.
The host is lovely and dedicate to you, full of attention great person to interact with.
The place is located just few steps from the beach where the sunrise is gorgeous and have a little platform to watch the stars at night. Restaurant do not have all option available but you can cook whatever you want.
- Anna (2/5): Scam :(( but actually chill place - Chill atmosphere, close to the beach SCAM!!! The place itself is chill and cheap BUT... me and other travellers got scammed by the woman working at the reception. First she was so friendly and open but when I paid online she added way more money then needed to pay. First she argumented it's more because it's weekend, so I argumented thats not true because booking showed me the amount of money. Then she argued I need to pay more because I pay with PayPal. Also didn't make any sense because PayPal charged me seperate as well. Then she said it needed to be immediately and it was quite weird. In general the stuff was a little bit weird. Also there is supposed to be a kleptomaniac working there. Why??? So many things I don't understand at this place and makes me sad because I first really felt welcomed and afterward left with a really weird and disturbing feeling. I'm sorry to leave this bad review but it's not tolerable that so many people get scammed. I think most people doesn't realise because she takes away the menu and also changes the prices etc.
- Natannatan (8/5): Very good -
- Laura (8/5): Very good - It is right nex to the busstation and has an amazing terrase with fireplaces and rooftop. It is quite small, especially in the rooms when they ard full it was some what difficult with all our luggage.
- Lodha (8/5): Very good -
