Beraja Family Hostel

Location is great, walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants in Barranco. Staff are friendly and have good suggestions. Dorms are spacious and beds are comfy.

Maybe privacy curtains on the beds would be an upgrade but everything was fine really!

Lovely hostel with lots of character and friendly staff. Loved the cats! Breakfast was also great.

Rooms are very close to common space so a bit noisy.

Great people. Very kind excellent location

- Neighborhood of Barranco with nice place to eat - as we were so hungry after the tiny breakfast served, we could enjoy Lima gastronomy at its best - The daughter was friendly

- No answer when we requested if we could check in earlier ( before 2:00pm). We arrived at 9:30 am and the housekeeper barely let us in, she had to call the owner to confirm it was ok to stay in the living room and use the kettle before check-in, not the warmest welcome. We could only check in at noon even though the owner told us that the previous tenant left at 6:00am - Breakfast is the smallest and cheapest in portion we faced in 4 month of travel in South America: 1 egg (we asked if we could have a second egg but a NO was answered, we’ve always had two before in other places), 2 pieces of bread with butter and jam, a tiny portion of fruit (3 thin slices of banana, 1 quarter of mandarine, 2 pieces of papaya) - All served in small plates for dolls to not make it look too ridiculous. The impression it gave us is that the managers are being very STINGY which is not what we expect from a family guest house. - Stairs to access the room are a bit dangerous ( careful not to hit your head), there was a noise of washing machine during the night ( until midnight) but don’t ask if you could use it, the answer is no. - It seems that the management of the guest house was done by the parents before and now is done by the children and the booking rating is going down each year, we could understand why. Today, it clearly does not deserve a 9
