Un excelente lugar para, descansar, relájense y disfrutar de un rico desayuno, su dueña María Isabel una anfitriona muy acogedora y cordial, tiene la amabilidad de conversar y aclarar tus dudas respecto a temas culturales de Rapanui. Altamente recomendable.

It was an excellent stay at Hostal Pukao. We were treated as family members from airport pickup to seeing us off. Highly recommend.

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.

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.
