    Literally the best hostel I've been in my travels in south America Such a nice vibes and the staff is what makes it special! Big thanks to Julia, Lorenzo and Alex from activities that make the night so fun, loved the variety of options to do inside of the hostel. Thank you Nigel and Tati for the best cocktails at the bar. Would go back a million times and I can never leave this place.

    This hostel brought so much joy to my time in Perù. From the daily activities such as Ceviche classes, Sunset tours, Salsa classes and more, to the great food, it's a great way to experience Cusco. Thank you to the amazing people that work at Pariwana, thank you to Alex, Julia, and Lorenzo to keep the activities alive. Thank you to Nigel and Marcela to serve me the best drinks with a smile. Definitely recommend this hostel.

    The staff was amazing, extremely helpful with all our needs and requests. Jeremy was super nice helping us with early check-in when we arrived tired after a long bus ride. Teodora, Rhanya and Kezia found the most efficient solutions for our luggage storage and helped us with all our little requests, always with the smile and kindness.

    It was a nice stay

    For me personally it was too loud. When you sleep in the women’s dorm the bar is right above and you can hear it very loudly and feel the bass as well. I slept fine with ear plugs, but still heard it. The beds are „open“ no curtains - so it’s very light when someone switches light on Also the music in the patio is too loud for me.

    Offers a lot: yoga, cooking class, free walking tours, etc.; liked the breakfast porridge and that tea was always available; people at the front desk are very helpful and kind; I loved the Patios to hang out and talk to others and meet people

    The kitchenette is quite small, but there is lots of good, cheap food in the area, so it’s okay.

    The staff was very sweet and helpful, especially Brunno. The location was excellent, and it was easy to meet other travelers. I loved the tea stations and bar.

    The private room was overpriced, and in the future I’d only stay in a dorm.

    I loved the salsa lesson (thanks Hector!) and food tour and the general welcoming vibes. Everything was clean and the common spaces were lovely.

    Although the events were fun, they weren’t generally highly attended.

    The dorm room was clean and comfortable (thank you Milagros). The staff was friendly and helpful—shout out to Brunno for all his help! The bar is well priced and quite lively, and it was easy to meet people there. Pariwana is definitely a party hostel, and well located.

    The rooms are run down and or room smelt like smokers were there. So between pariwana and Viajero, I would book the Viajero because the rooms and bathrooms and there breakfast set up are overall much nicer.

    The common space of the place and the people that they have working there and the people that they attract to the place.

    The first time I stayed here my room was on the main street and there was honking alllllll night long, even on a Sunday night. Even with earplugs it was a bit of a disturbance, especially when it seemed like there was absolutely no reason for all that honking. It’s a single lane one way street. 🤦‍♀️ But that’s not the hostel’s fault. The price is also on the higher end, but I would still say it’s worth it.

    This is one of the best hostels I’ve been too! They organize a bunch of activities each day, many of them free, including fun activities at the hostel as well as guided tours around the city. It’s definitely a party hostel so just be aware of that. If you need peace & quiet this isn’t for you. But there is some soundproofing in the bedrooms and with earplugs it’s not too bad (free earplugs are provided). I’m not a partier but I had two great stays here! The beds were comfy and the location is very convenient, just two blocks from the Plaza de Armas. The breakfast was good, and it’s convenient that they have a bar and restaurant that’s open all day. It’s a really big hostel with several nice communal hangout spaces and a coworking space if you’ve got work to do. The showers were decently hot. They also have hot tea of several varieties available 24/7, including coca tea and coca leaves to help combat possible altitude sickness, which is really nice!

    The bathroom in my room had no window and the curtains of the shower was reaaally smelly

    Hot water, comfy bed, good location. They give free earpods and you have a locker to put your stuff. Remember to bring your own padlock. Free coca tea at all times.
