Liked: If you want a party hostel, this is definitely the place to come. The bathrooms are nice and clean and the beds comfy.

Disliked: If you want a quiet place, go elsewhere. There is no kitchen but the food they cook is pretty good. Its really loud in the rooms at night cause of the bar

Liked: they made an effort to do something every night

Disliked: There was no real social area in this hostel apart from the bar, where they played painfully loud music so that you couldn´t relax. There were some outdoors areas but when it was raining you couldn´t do much there.

Liked: Just like being at home!

Disliked: The peeps at the Travel center next to reception really didn't give the best prices & where a little limited with company's they could use. But the travel place over the road (honey something) was very helpful!

Liked: booked to stay at wild rover for a few nights, ended up staying there for 2 weeks, loved the central location, really close to the plaza. staff are friendly and knowledgable about the local area, willing to give you lots of advice about things to do, the inca trail etc. The bar is one of the best places in cusco to party and meet other travellers, loads of events organised and cheap drink deals. Bar staff are really fun and make the bar a great place to be. Everynight we stayed it was busy but the music finishes at one pm which means the hostel isnt too noisy late at night so its possibloe to egt a good nights sleep. The bar staff usually head out to the local bars with the people staying there which means you dont have to wander around lookign for places to go. hostel also has amazing food and cheap prices. FInally the hostel also felt very safe as they have 24 hour security and they check wristbands to ensure only people staying at the hostel can come and go.

Disliked: nothing, would reccomend it to everyone.
