Ukumari Hostel

Nice people very friendly, gréât location to see the titicaca lake

The water was cold for me

EXCELLENT PLACE TO STAY IN CUZCO,PROBLABLY THE BEST HOSTEL IN PERU ,SPECIALLY, FOR THE GOOD SOCIAL CONECTION WITH THE STAFF . CAROLINE , IN CHARGE OF THE HOSTEL, HAS BEEN THE MOST FLEXIBEL AND CHARMING HOST IHAVE MET IN A HUNDRED OF HOSTEL I VE BEEN BEFORE. YOU AS A GUEST WILL FEEL COMFORTABEL, AND AFTER A WHILE , YOU WILL FEEL LIKE HOME.

I DIDNOT LIKE...........UNGREATFULL TRAVELLERS...............THAT AFTER STAYING ALMOST FOR A WEEK AND HAVING GOOD TIMES PLAYING GUITARR AND SINGING JOYFULL , WROTE ON THE COMMENTS COMPLAINING FOR AESTHETIC DETAILS IN THE HOSTEL STRUCTURE

Good location, cheap price

Great location, just out of the busy centre, but close enough to walk, plus close to San Pedro market. Large room with comfortable bed, kitchen equipped well enough for cooking some simple meals. Very friendly and helpful owners, who even stored our luggage for days when we went for Salkantay trek. Nice decor and good vibe, a place to meet other travellers.

It's one of those reviews that is very hard to write, as despite all the good things there was one serious 'but'. For most of the day there's no water to flush the toilet and wash hands. I fully support a concept of saving water and energy, but that is simply very unhygenic in a place where bathrooms are shared by many people. We were unlucky to be unwell for a few days of our stay and we were not really leaving the hostel, which means that affected us a lot. Also, you can only have a hot shower in the morning - in the afternoon you need to ask the owners to switch a pump for you (part of it is located in their apartment, so you can't do it yourself despite what a sign on a wall claims). As long as there's someone in to switch it on for you it's not a problem, but I met several people who were not that lucky.
