Reviews of Pariwana Backpacker Cusco

21 February 2012

Liked: The building itself is beautiful and it does have a lot of character, the breakfast is better than a lot of others with fresh rolls and alittle oven provided to heat the rolls, also has fresh coffee which is lovely

Disliked: The kitchen facilities are poor and no tea towels provided so even if you wanted to dry your dishes and put them away you cant so with the results everyone just leaves all the dishes all piled up to dry.

Liked: This is a well run party hostel, def more suited to young singles looking to hook up with other travellers. It has all the activities you could want laid out on a plate and the staff are super chilled and friendly.

Disliked: This prob was the wrong hostel for me and my boyfriend - just too big, way too many people - the turnover of guests is crazy and you never see the same people twice. Try not to stay in Inti Raimi (closest to the bar, which despite rumours to the contrary, is not soundproof) if you need to sleep to get up early for any of the activities. Also the kitchen is ridiculously small given the number of people trying to use it. Don't expect to cook there if you want to enjoy your evenings.

Liked: This is the best hostel I've at which I have ever stayed. The showers are hot, the beds are comfy, the staff are mostly friendly and helpful, the location is ideal, the property is gorgeous, the food and drinks are affordable and tasty, the kitchen is user-friendly, the bar is large and welcoming, and the computer room/lounge is extremely comfortable. I met a great group of people and ended up staying several extra days, as well as finding a travel buddy for the next leg of my trip. Couldn't have asked for better.

Disliked: The wi-fi was patchy at first, but it greatly improved. I think they were performing maintenance. Oh, and I hate having to wear a bracelet, but I guess it's for security.

18 November 2011 Pedro would recommend this property

Liked: Excelent hostel!

Disliked: É uma casa colonial, há muitos rangidos. Quando as pessoas andam ou abrem portas e armários, isso faz muito barulho. O isolamento acustico do bar a noite é muito ruim.

Disliked: Nothing

15 November 2011 Natalie would recommend this property

Liked: The amazingly comfy beds and duvets and that it was kept so clean.

Disliked: The staff were very cold and did the minimum but having said that, they were efficient. They were also having continuing problems with the internet server which was a tad annoying.

14 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Lively and busy hostel, so lots going on, but the dorms are pretty quiet, so the bar and common rooms don't disturb your sleep. Good shower (in female ensuite dorm) and really comfy beds, with warm, cosy duvets.

Disliked: Wi-fi internet access very temperemental, and not enough permanent PCs given the number of people staying - this may be to do with the fact that the lounge is being re-furbed.

13 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great lively bar and amazing location for a decent price (especially considering its the tourist capital of Peru, maybe even South America)

Disliked: It's not very comfy and the basic dorms are giant (14 beds) so considering its size the place loses its personal appeal. On the other hand, due to its popularity and size its also easy to meet a ton of people.
