    The flooring could be updated, but that’s a small thing

    The staff was helpful and friendly! I was able to leave my bags prior and post my booking, which was really helpful. The showers were super hot and the beds were comfortable enough

    I wish the showers had a bit more privacy to change there.

    The location was perfect, close to everything, a laundry, a pharmacy, and Botanica, which was very convenient for us.

    The room had a skylight in and light would wake us up at 6am every day when the sun came up. The kitchen was also a bit small.

    A great space in Cusco with a lovely courtyard. They also have a pool table and table football which my friend and I enjoyed.

    There are no windows in the dorms so the doors are kept open a lot which is not great for safety so keep valuables locked or with you.

    I liked everything. The breakfast is especially amazing. Papaya juice,fried egg, breads, fruit salad, & teas. It's a great priced hostel. The people working there are also nice and the amenities are great. Very comfortable hostel and the best part is the beds. The duvet is so big and comfortable, you sleep very well and cannot get cold with how much bedding they provide. There are also changing rooms which I have never seen in a hostel and the showers and toilets are separate which is nice.

    The staff were very positive and ready to help the guests. My room was large and had socket outlets and lockers. The hostel is a charming old building of a certain epoch, beautiful stone stairs, a lovely patio and plenty of space for guests to hang out. The murals (decorations) were executed with pomp and splash, showing good taste and artistic capability. The included breakfast served readily was simple but healthy, fresh fruit, fried egg, bread, butter and jam. Coffee and tea at your disposition. The only 'problem' was the lack of water during the night. As this is a situation related to the city Cusco, it can't be really pinned down to the hostel. The staff tried hard to provide big plastic bins of water for the overnight shortage.

    The hostel is great and has everything needed. I give the highest score, mostly because of the people working and volunteering there. They are super nice and helped me a lot with all the information needed. They even prepared a breakfast for me, without asking for it, for one of my early morning trips.

    When l think of Terra House Hostel, l want to cry. The staff were incredibly kind to me, like a family. Thank you so much for your hospitality and care. The location is perfect. l loved the building and the common areas. But above all, the people in the hostel.

    You had to time your showers well so you could get the hot water otherwise it was amazing.

    The staff are super friendly and willing to help with anything you need. We stayed here multiple times in between our treks and they let us leave our bags in their storage room whilst we were gone - it made our travels so much easier. Extremely grateful for everything x

    Nice stay in Cusco

    • Solo traveler
    • 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    The wifi is great when it works, but could be spotty. Not a big deal, this is true in most places. Water pressure could be variable in upstairs bathrooms, but always great downstairs, also not a big deal.

    The rooms are very comfortable, great beds and lockers (both of which are quite large). It could be a bit loud up until about 11pm, but nothing earplugs can't handle and things got quiet at a respectful hour, which was appreciated. The staff and volunteers are one of the best parts of this hostel, they were super friendly and always willing to share some mate or tea. There is ample opportunity to hang out and chat while you're acclimating to the altitude, and the staff were super fun company. Also there was hot water with great pressure most of the time, which was incredible. Its about 10 minutes out from the historic center, super close to some neat markets and squares and some nice local restaurants on the street, which were better than the more touristy ones in the square. Overall, very nice.

    Enjoyed to the fullest! The staff and volounteers were amazing. The facilities like the bar, pooltable, pingpong table, hot and pressured showers and servive in general were top notch aswell. During the day I was able to enjoy the relaxed courtyard with some music in the background. Thank you very much for the amazing vibes and stay!!!

    Friendly staff, but I was overcharged for my stay
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 4 nights

    The wifi did not work at all during my 5-day stay. The walls of the rooms are thin - don't expect to be able to sleep early if you have an early tour the next day. I was also overcharged: I was charged the 18% sales tax for Peruvian citizens (I am not a Peruvian citizen), and charged an additional 5% charge for using a credit card. Booking.com estimated by cost to be $132.96 for four nights, but I paid $175 total. That's a huge difference!

    The staff are incredibly warm and friendly!
