Terra House Hostel

Good value

The staff are incredibly warm and friendly!

The wifi did not work at all during my 5-day stay. The walls of the rooms are thin - don't expect to be able to sleep early if you have an early tour the next day. I was also overcharged: I was charged the 18% sales tax for Peruvian citizens (I am not a Peruvian citizen), and charged an additional 5% charge for using a credit card. Booking.com estimated by cost to be $132.96 for four nights, but I paid $175 total. That's a huge difference!

A great space in Cusco with a lovely courtyard. They also have a pool table and table football which my friend and I enjoyed.

The room had a skylight in and light would wake us up at 6am every day when the sun came up. The kitchen was also a bit small.

I liked everything. The breakfast is especially amazing. Papaya juice,fried egg, breads, fruit salad, & teas. It's a great priced hostel. The people working there are also nice and the amenities are great. Very comfortable hostel and the best part is the beds. The duvet is so big and comfortable, you sleep very well and cannot get cold with how much bedding they provide. There are also changing rooms which I have never seen in a hostel and the showers and toilets are separate which is nice.

There are no windows in the dorms so the doors are kept open a lot which is not great for safety so keep valuables locked or with you.

The staff were very positive and ready to help the guests. My room was large and had socket outlets and lockers. The hostel is a charming old building of a certain epoch, beautiful stone stairs, a lovely patio and plenty of space for guests to hang out. The murals (decorations) were executed with pomp and splash, showing good taste and artistic capability. The included breakfast served readily was simple but healthy, fresh fruit, fried egg, bread, butter and jam. Coffee and tea at your disposition. The only 'problem' was the lack of water during the night. As this is a situation related to the city Cusco, it can't be really pinned down to the hostel. The staff tried hard to provide big plastic bins of water for the overnight shortage.

The hostel is great and has everything needed. I give the highest score, mostly because of the people working and volunteering there. They are super nice and helped me a lot with all the information needed. They even prepared a breakfast for me, without asking for it, for one of my early morning trips.

I really like inner courtyard of hostel. Very chilled atmosphere

The terrace and the art. The music that makes a chill environment

The bathrooms for the shared bathroom were too far from the rooms, and the lack of showers next to the room. Also there was no light in one of the few bathrooms
