MAMA GREEN HOSTAL - Eco Andean Experience and Permaculture Farm - Vegetarian Breakfast

The Breakfast was very healthy and delicious. Organic and different to other Hostels in Peru. Nice Host.

- unfriendly staff - remote and hardly accessible location

- Bed and shower are good - Coffee at breakfast is nice. - Wifi is good. - Nice little courtyard. - Everything is rather new and in good state.

* Despite it's name it not a lodge, neither a farm. It's just a regular hostel with a small courtyard with some plants. The owner has a farm but it is somewhere else. I haven't figured out the ecological part except for the "organic breakfast". E.g. if you want drinking water, you need to buy plastic bottles in a shop. * Rooms are very small. The ones with bathroom are not more than 9 sq. m. The superior has a king size bed, leaving just enough space to walk around it. The rooms without attached bathroom are on the ground floor, but the bathroom is on the 2nd floor. Not very handy. * The location is in a residential area without any restaurant facilities nearby (and without any countryside feeling to compensate for that). You need to take a mototaxi for lunch and dinner. * There is a lot of noise: the neighbour is doing construction work and is having the radio on VERY LOUD ALL DAY. Even with my earplugs in, the radio woke my up at 6.15am. After I complained with the manager, it was better the next day. At friday night there was a lot of noise from parties around us. I could hear every word the people in the room next to me were saying and they were not speaking extremely loud. * The breakfast is "organic" but very spartan: only bread, a bit of salad (lettuce, cherry tomatoes and avocado) and local cheese plus coffee/tea. There is no butter/spread, fruit, juice or marmelade. You can order eggs for 1 Sol (which is not a lot of money, but a bit pathetic it is charged at all if you charge 29USD for a room). * Staff is not very proactive and/or hospitality minded. E.g. Breakfast is from 8 to 10 am, when we came at 8.15am half of the buffet was finished and not (proactively) refilled. Same for the tea jars. Waste bin for toilet paper in bathroom is fully open, but not emptied daily.
