Covid-19 INFOS

The new normal of travelling to Free Spirit Hostel Ecuador 

Here is all the information you need to come to visit us in Ecuador. 

After our soft opening in October we are more than ready to welcome international guests again! 

Our hostel is still the same beautiful and amazing beachfront spot in a remote, uncrowded beach town in Ecuador. Although we made some little changes to make our spot even more cosy and breathtaking. 

New procedures to make your stay safe due to COVID:

• Although we would love to see our place full again, we will not mix travellers of different groups in dorm rooms, which is why there is a limited capacity to dorms. 
• Upon arrival temperature of all guests checking in will be taken.
• Our legendary family dinners will be held with distance in between our guests, which means more tables and more space. 
• Our staff is regularly cleaning and disinfecting all common areas. 
• Hand Sanitizer is provided and placed all around the common areas. 

Before booking your flight to Ecuador:

• Most airlines have been operating their flights normally to Ecuador since August. 
• We recommend you to book your flight directly through the airline company and check cancellation policies carefully. 
• Take a look into travel insurance that covers covid. Right now, every week there are  new ones getting added to the list. Here are some: World Nomads, SafetyWing, HeyMondo, Croix bleue and Medipac.
• We do not offer refunds for the 15% deposit that you paid when you booked your stay. BUT you can always change your travel dates for free directly on the website. 

Entering Ecuador 

The government of Ecuador requires all travellers entering Ecuador to present a negative PCR Test that has been taken maximum of 72 hours before entering the country. 

A few volunteers and friends recently travelled to Ecuador, they did not have any problems entering the country. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to message us!

We hope to welcome you soon in paradise!
