Best hostel in south america

Stayed in March 2024

The wifi didn't reach all the way to my room, but it was all the way in the back, so maybe it's better in other rooms.

Great price, very affordable and good value for money since it's cheaper than most other hostels and you even get a private room instead of a bed in a dorm. Friendly hosts, mostly Spanish-speaking, very attentive. Very easy to book tours, average prices. I did 5 in total (Churup, Parón, Laguna 69, Pastoruri and Pico Mateo) and all worked out fine with pick up at the hostel (drop off usually in the city centre, so 20 mins walk back). The showers! 100 % reliable, hot and with a good water pressure. Just what you'd want after a long hike. Breakfast included, although if you're doing a lot of tours, it's likely that you'll miss the time slot (8 to 9am) often. Flexibility of the hosts. Since my room wasn't booked for the night when I left, I was able to use it while waiting for my nightbus. Very good wifi in the hallway and common room. Shared kitchen and comfy couches in common room.

Don’t use the laundry facilities. Got overcharged, clothes weren’t ready when agreed and still wet. The kitchen is not available most of the time

Great price, decent breakfast, very good shower and warm blankets in the room!

We stayed at Montanero Hostel for 4 nights and had a great time! Thank you! Everyone is friendly and helpful. We could check in early and check out in the evening. The breakfast was varied and delicious. The bed was comfortable, hot showers and the kitchen was well equipped. We booked tours for a fair price. All in all, great value for money.

The hosts were great and we felt very welcome here; very helpful with local tips & attention. Good kitchen and the breakfast was top! The clothes dry very fast on the rooftop. The location is a bit off center, but still within a 15-minute walk. Good overall vibes added by the volunteering couple

Amazing stay! The rooms are nice and clean. the Wi-Fi works great. Breakfast is different everyday and always great. Plus Yorleni and Angel are both super nice and helpful. They helped us organize so many different hikes and even rented us a tent and stove for a great price. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

good hostel vibe with a spacious shared kitchen and terrace with Mountain View. very nice and different breakfast cooked every morning. spacious room with private bathroom, run by family who is very helpful and friendly, there are all the infos and possibility to book tours direct from the hostel as we did. the hostel is about 10/20 min (uphill) from markets and city centre and has lots of restaurants (cheap and tasty menú) in the same street.

The location is a bit far out from the centre so that's good to keep in mind.

Really nice staff, good breakfast and great price.

The only thing really is that there is no mirror in the room. Otherwise the location is a bit far from the center but not a big deal as its a relatively safe place to stay in night.

Very very nice staff that helped with everything. Showers are very hot with strong stream. Room is kinda big and nice.

the room is very cold, but we got two plankets, the pillow and plankets are not a good quality but for this price you can’t expect more.

very cheap and simple, Good Kitchen, good tips from the owner about the lakes

Stayed in January 2023

The staff, who was a family, are very helpful. We stayed there for a week because it was just so comfy. They even let us check in very early after our long night bus ride so we could nap. Very hot shower with strong pressure.

The owners are so nice and helpful and it is the best breakfast ever. The value for money is incredible!

Kitchen is small and can get very busy, lack of hanging space in the bedroom, no toilet seat and can be noisy at night.

Amazing service and knowledge of the surrounding area. Price is very competitive, nice breakfast, amazing views, private bathroom and laundry service. Was recommended by beraja family hostel in lima.

wifi provided didn’t work.

it’s very clean, great plus. Staff are very nice and helpful, they’ll guide you through everything you want to know. Rooms are basic, but enough. Quite silent which was great for a good rest.

A very pleasant stay. The hostel is run by the extremely helpful Ronald and his excellent team. They were great in sharing information about the local area and allowed us to take a free shower after returning from the Santa Cruz trek to pick up our bags. Very clean and well organised hostel.

The hostel is called Andes Hostel on Google maps and the sign outside. We had difficulty finding it because of the name discrepancy so make sure you look for Andes Hostel!

Great hostel. Staff really helpful, the tour company they run is brilliant and I’d recommend booking the tours through them. Good, healthy breakfast and kitchen is well equipped. So cheap as well!

Great hostel, owners are really helpful with tours! Good breakfast.

It's a great value for money, the family running this hostel is helpful. The kitchen is small but well equipped. The rooms and other premises were very cleaned. Would recommend this place for people who are on a budget.

Inappropriate manager. He used the whole day drinking in the reception. The entire place was stinking of alchohol. He was drunk and very unhelpful. We couldn't even stay for one night. Please don’t go here. Especially as a woman, as the manager gave sexist comments.

Cheap.

Very dirty, thick layer of white construction dust everywhere on the hostel, including the rooms. The room smells with dust. it seemed that they never wash the floors with water after guests, they just sweep the floor. immediately after check in I asked the manager (Angel I believe) to redo housekeeping in the room because the floor was dirty, he said “yayaya later” and never did anything. Balls of dust under the bed, dust everywhere on bedside table, windows, all the surfaces. It was very unpleasant to stay there. I ended up washing everything myself, including the floor because I couldn’t stand breathing this dust anymore, the water was black from the mop, i washed the floor it at least five times and it was still dirty. i attach photos as proof, it s disgusting. the entire hostel is in this condition, incl, the common area and kitchen. I attach photos. bookshelves, sofas even main table in the living room has visible thick white dust on it. it seems they haven’t wiped dust in a year, looks like it s not a thing there to wash anything with water. unbelievable. I have never seen such things in years of traveling the world. They sell ILLEGAL tour! they sell tours on site which is fine, but when I asked about Laguna Paron they gave me a price 80 soles. Later the tourist agencies in town all told me that it was ILLEGAL to take tourists to laguna Paron because the access was closed by the government since July 2023 due to risks of flooding and landslides, with part of the road already destroyed. no agency in town will agree to take you there - well, doesn’t seem to be a problem for these people…… The manager in montanero (Angel) never mentioned anything about and didn’t give me any warning about the risks and danger of going there, he was happy to sell me the tour. Unbelievable. Room was extremely cold, to the point that it s uncomfortable to do anything there other than hide under 4 layers of blanket. you are breathing freezing air lying in bed.

cheap (as it should be). they let me check in very early at 7-8am when I arrived from night bus, which is nice, and it seems to be a customary thing in this town. most hostel will do that.
