    Nice place, very cozy but the rooms are smelly and dirty, same thing for toilets and showers, but it makes sense considering the low price… The staff is super kind and the breakfast is great

    A real nice hostel with very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful surroundings and a leafy courtyard where you can enjoy an absolutely amazing breakfast. Bicycle hire is also available from the hostel which was perfect to visit some lovely parts of the city around the coastline

    I’d recommend this hostel for short or even mid-long term in Lima. Located in a safe area, provides really good natural breakfast, the staff is helpfull and kind, it’s a small hostel and that gives a really calm and friendly atmosphere. Just to note, some dorms are located not in the main area but in another building in the corner of the block.

    This time I took a 4 bed room and it was at the main building. What I did not like is that it has a direct door and window to the corridor and you can hear people from straight there. I prefer hearing street sounds so for me it was better to stay at another building in a 6 bed room place.

    I was staying here for the second time, so it means this place is a good one for sure! The place, the breakfast, the staff - all that is just amazing.

    Cramped dorms which gave the rooms an odor, no encapsulation for the beds. No towels included.

    Good breakfast, nice terrace in the dorm building.

    The only criticism is that the courtyard room can be a little loud with noise of people outside but otherwise no faults.

    Super clean, friendly staff, warm showers that were spotless. Comfy bunk beds in the shared dorm. Seamless check-in and out with option to leave bags in secure storage. We loved it and will be coming back to stay again later in our trip!

    Some arbitrary ruling like paying to stay in the lobby after checking out and general attitude of the staff at times made me feel less like a guest and more like cattle.

    Met some brilliant people. The breakfast is great and you can’t argue with the location.

    There’s no reception after 11pm which I didn’t know about and so I had to wait for 40 minutes outside ringing the bell until someone came and open the gate.

    Good value for money. Location is good in a quiet and safe area. Breakfast was light and very tasty with lots of fresh fruit on my granola which was perfect for the weather.

    A wonderful place to stay in Miraflores! I really like the concept of this hostel - to protect nature, to be kind to each other, to life healthy life.. I felt like I was in a commune. Fantastic breakfast! You can choose from offered options. Vegan options, gluten free options available. If I'm in Peru again I will definately come back here! Muchas gracias por la agradable bienvenida. 🙏😌🤍

    You can store your luggage for free after check out, but if you want to just sit around at the hostel (without using the facilities other than that) and wait for a taxi for example or if you have some time left before getting in a night bus, they will charge extra for “day use” of the hostel. They do communicate this so it is not a surprise, but I do think they’re quite strict with this and it is unnecessary. If you pick up your bags and leave right away, you’re all good.

    Good location in Miraflores, the staff is friendly, outdoor/communal spaces are nice, beds are comfortable and breakfast is really good. The dog is the sweetest.

    Some staff members seemed a bit stressed/annoyed and it influenced the quality of service. But overall the staff was still great.

    Really nice atmosphere, easy to meet people, yet a calm oasis. Sturdy beds, comfy, with privacy curtains. Fantastic complementary breakfast. Bicycle tour available that starts directly from the hostel. The yoga room was the cherry on top!

    Some of the staff were not particularly friendly, but not a big deal.

    Good location and comfortable beds. Very nice showers with hot water. I really appreciated that the staff let me check in early and prepared an early breakfast for me. The dog and cat are cute!

    The first hostel in my entire life (and I have visited more than 200 in different countries) that charged me 15 sol (4 USD) for just staying at the premises for extra 3 hours after checkout. Not in the room but in the common area! While I was working online they interrupted me 3 times reminding me about the payment, although we had agreed that I would pay this extra amount later The staff is not friendly (except for the cook, she is really nice), every time I felt guilty when the staff addressed to me The "healing" dog often runs around and barks at people, which ruins the atmosphere They don't check you in unless you send them a message on WhatsApp, so they start sending you spam all the time A fire alarm went off at 5 am and worked for a couple of min

    Free stylish breakfast, music, lights. Overall, a good and cheap option for those who stay in dorms Bad for those who are in private rooms
