We accept Peruvian Soles and US dollars for payment at reception and at our bar and restaurant. We accept cash and credit/debit cards of any brand at no extra cost.

If you booked a Standard Rate, you can pay upon arrival at reception. Your card may be pre-authorized at any time after booking to check for sufficient funds and validity.

If you booked a Non-Refundable rate, your card may be charged in advance at any time after booking. You will be notified once your card has been charged. If not, you can still pay upon arrival.

We will contact you to request new credit/debit card details or otherwise a different payment method to guarantee your booking. If you don’t/can’t provide valid credit/debit card details within the next few hours after booking, your booking may be subject to cancelation at any time. We can only hold and honor bookings with valid credit/debit cards that have sufficient funds to cover the total price for your stay.

If you will be using a credit/debit card that is not registered under your name to confirm your booking, you must e-mail us an authorization signed by the card holder in which they clearly state their consent (given to you) and the purposes for which the card will be used. The authorization must additionally state the dates of travel, your official ID number (passport, official Government ID or Driver’s license), the date on which the authorization was signed, the last 4 digits printed on the front of the card, the brand and bank name. You must also e-mail us a scanned copy of the card holder’s valid ID (passport, official Government ID or Driver’s license). Other verification methods may be required to secure your booking.

It usually takes around 10 minutes by taxi to get from Ica to our hostel in Huacachina. It should cost you between S/8.00 and S/15.00 (soles) depending on the time, number of passengers and baggage weight/size.

Our swimming pool is open between 9:00 am and 10:00 pm.

You can book our tours at https://bananasadventure.com/activities/

Note that once you pay for a tour, we will not issue a refund in case you need to cancel but you can re-schedule it as many times as you need up to 24 hours before the departure time of each tour booked.

If a tour is not listed on our website, this means it may only be booked upon arrival or during your stay as prices vary and can only be confirmed to you the day/night before the tour.

Shared dorms are booked by the bed, meaning you will share the room with people that are NOT from your party and/or that you don’t know. It is an option mostly for backpackers.

Superior Double Rooms are bigger and therefore more spacious than the Standard Double Rooms. Also, the Superior Double Rooms feature a mini fridge and views of the swimming pool and bar area. Find details of each room type at bananasadventure.com/rooms/

Our 4-bed dorms have personal security boxes for valuables (cameras, passports, money, cellphones, etc.). You will need your own padlock for your security box.

Our 6-bed dorms have lockers and you will need your own padlock, too.

No, but we’ll be considering that in the future based on demand.

We cannot guarantee that an entire party of 2 people or more who are booked under the same reservation will be assigned to the same dorm or otherwise evenly distributed across dorms (for larger parties). We strive to make this happen but it is always subject to availability and again, may not be guaranteed. This is mainly because you’re booking beds and not private rooms.

Yes! Our hostel guarantees a safe environment for LGBTQ+ guests and visitors. If your pronouns do not match the information on your official ID, please contact us right after booking.

We may accept volunteers at certain times of the year. Please, contact us with your CV for more information.
