Really helpful staff. Close to main bus drop off point and the beach/restaurants. En suite bathroom. Good value for money.
Even small movement/noise from next rooms could be heard pretty clearly.

Slept soundly in a good sized clean bedroom with private bathroom and hot shower. Seems like the kind of place that would be good to stay for a few nights, I was only there briefly.
The young lad on reception spoke no English at all. I had booked the hotel one night early, and emailed in advance to change it through the Booking.com app - no response. Then I tried calling directly - no response. So I just turned up a day early and tried in broken Spanish to explain what had happened. The lad couldn't find my booking, so I showed it to him on the phone. Anyway, I booked in and stayed - but now being hounded by Booking.com as a no show!!!! So not sure what went on, just hoping I don't get a no show charge, as i did try and change the booking through the app.
Also arrived in the dark, hotel quite hard to find, need the name above the door so you can see it!

Good location, friendly staff and good value for money. the owner helped us book a tour.
The Wi-Fi did not work, there was only 2 toilets for the shared rooms which meant having to wait to use it. There wasn’t any hot water in one of the showers and the locks did not always work. It was not a sociable place to stay. We stayed in a twin room with shared bathroom.

Great location, great value for the price, quiet property. In the evening there was no hot water but then in the morning it was really hot!
We had no hot water in the evening and unfortunately the water from the shower could very easily escape the bathroom under the bathroom door, making some stuffs drenched in the main area but it is just a small inconvenience.
8.0
Spacious room, staff was very friendly and help me out sorting all the excursion I was planning on doing. Very close to the beach, restaurants and bars. Room was clean. Simple breakfast but good.
A bit complicated to understand how to turn on hot water in the shower.
3.0
The room was ok and the shower was hot. Wifi worked. Didn’t have breakfast (15soles)
After a shower the bathroom and bedroom were flooded. The bed and mattress were awful, as was the duvet. The description lists a shared kitchen which does not exist. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful, others were rude and dismissive.
We paid to get our clothes washed (8s/kilo) and these came back just as dirty and smelly as we’d left them!
On top of that, you get smacked with a 5% charge for paying by card, which was never listed.
7.0
It's a hostel with a good price. Nothing super special. The first floor has a little common area and it looks pretty during the daytime. Although the was a limited shower capacity, the hot water and the water pressure were satisfying. Staffs were quite helpful even though their English was limited.
Each room has two outlets only, and the wifi was unstable which was a big minus for me since I work remotely.

Very comfortable shared area, friendly personal
The WiFi did not work in my room and out of three showers taken by me only one had warm water. Also the stray dogs outside of the place were very audible despite closed doors and windows

I got put in a twin room instead of a dorm while paying the same. The bed was nice and it was clean.
I wanted to book a tour to the islands and the park but got no explanation about it at all and they were impatient. If you want to socialize with other people during your stay in Paracas, you should not go to this hostel. Would only recommend for quiet travelers who speak Spanish and don't need service or info from the staff about the town
