    The check-in was a bit unpleasant. It was hard to sleep due to the heat.

    The fans next to the beds were helpful to withstand the heat. Friendly environment with the staff and the guests. Breakfast was nice.

    Adding curtains to the beds could enhance privacy, although this may impact ventilation during warmer periods. Offering a vegan option for breakfast would be very kind and precious

    This charming family-run hostel radiates positivity and maintains high cleanliness standards. The kitchen is well-equipped, catering to all culinary needs. Guests are treated to fresh and clean towels and bed sheets, enhancing overall comfort. Favio's warm and gentle demeanor, he always happy to help and give you good advice along with his occasional musical performances, adds a personalized touch to the experience. The entire family's dedication and care are palpable throughout the hostel. The snug beds, complete with personal fans, ensure a comfortable night's sleep. Breakfast offerings are delightful, and the inviting common spaces, including hammocks and terrace, create a warm ambiance. Its convenient location near a market adds to its appeal. In addition I were accommodated with luggage storage for over 10 days while exploring the Amazon, showcasing the hostel's flexibility and customer service.

    Nothing

    Moicca has been my favourite hostel of my travels so far (3 months in), let me tell you why: 1) Favio and his family are incredibly kind and accomodating. 2) the place is impeccably clean with very comfortable beds 3) the breakfast is free and very tasty, there is also a big kitchen and lots of space for your food. 4) the price is great 5) there are many social areas to chill, hammocks everywhere and a really nice terrace to watch the sunset. 6) and finally, it’s big enough to have your privacy, but also has a really nice social feel to it. Couldn’t fault my stay and would definitely come back it I return to the selva :) thank you Favio. Nelly

    I couldn't stay there at the end but the hostel didn't charge me even if they could have. I needed help to store my luggage and even though I couldn't stay they offer to help which od very kind. The prices of the hostel is also really good and the place seems really nice too.

    Probably the best hostel I've stayed at in months, for sure the most comfortable bed ever! Everything is very clean, breakfast is good (they actually serve you real butter not margarine) the staff is friendly and there's also a funny cat.

    Nada.

    Moicca Hostel was exactly as advertised and was a great place to spend a few days whilst in Iquitos. Fabio and the rest of his family were lovely and keep the place spotlessly clean and make you feel very welcome and at home. The rooms are spacious, the lockers are a great size, and the showers are powerful and have hot water. The rooftop terrace is a great place to chill out and get a little fresh air, and the kitchen is large, clean and available for guests to use. The wifi was also good whilst I was there as they just had fibre optics fitted, which gives a lot more coverage than previously. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would definitely stay there again if/when I am back in Iquitos. Thank you Fabio and everyone for a wonderful stay. 😊

    Fabio and his family made my stay very enjoyable. I really appreciate the fact that Fabio speaks really good English and he can provide a lot of information in English. I do need to improve my Spanish. The hostel was kept very clean and there are other toilets and showers on different floors other than just the one in the dorm. The location is convenient. It is walking distance to the Plaza de armas which is also downtown and also close to a big supermarket. Or one can take the Tuktuk for 4-5 soles. I totally recommend this place and would probably stay here again when I visit Iquitos in the future.

    1. The WiFi was worst 2. The water volume in the shower was very low. 3. The hot water is restricted because it's based on solar panels only.

    1. High facilities 2. Kind staff 3. Towels are given free 4. High cleanness standard

    First the stuff Fabio and his mom are very so nice and helpful!!! The place is very clean , the kitchen is very convienvient , there are a lot of places to sit and hang. The location is perfect ,15 minutes walk from the center so it is close to walk and far enough that the place will be calmer outside ( it is close to some market and the street but yet). The general vibe is so nice I loved this place defenitly will be back here

    absolutely nothing

    I cannot recommend this hostel enough! Came to be a few days and ended up staying more than a week. Super clean (including the kitchen!!), the beds were just the most comfortable I’ve slept in, in almost 4 months. There’s a fan per person on all the dorms, never had any problems with the water. The towels and breakfast are included in your nightly fee. The staff, this is a family business, and boy, they do it well! You feel like you’re home away from home. Shoutout to Fabio for being an amazing human who made the stay even better.
