Las Mariposas is the best hostel i've been to (and i've been travelling for almost 5 months already). within the first 10 minutes of your arrival, you'll just feel at home! it's the kind of hostel where everyone makes you feel welcomed, where you plan big meals all together ( in the last week we had mexican night, lasagna night...

I also stayed in a room above the kitchen (like someone else who reviewed this hostel) and did not think it was that bad. Yes you can hear people in the common area because there are screens on the window. But you're staying at a hostel to meet people anyway, right? The owners were really cool and helpful. They cooked... More

My friend and I were travelling to Samara for 2 nights and ended up here based on the recommendation of a local chef. It is off the main street, so we figured it would be a quiet place for weary travellers. The Facebook page touted "renovated", so we gave it a go. We took a private room with a double... More

Really enjoyed staying here. Everything was very clean and relaxed. Close to the beach, close to the supermarket, but a little further off from the main street. Really nice place and very nice owner.

I stayed for several nights and I wish I had time to stay longer. Leonie is a very gracious and hard-working hostess. She makes a fantastic breakfast in the morning and was a huge help with getting acquainted to the area. LP is very comfortable and in a perfect location. Definitely coming back!

Staying in Las Mariposas is a terrific place to stay while visiting Samara. It is very affordable, and the rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean. A well prepared and healthy breakfast is included and served family-style for all the guests, providing a good opportunity for friendly conversation. Also, there is a casual dining area with hammocks, and an open... More

This place had been recommended to me and was great as a base close to the beach. The owner provides breakfast and the kitchen can be used by guests to make lunch/dinner. This place is her home, which she opens up to her guests. It was very comfortable to stay there a few days.
