The gentleman who checked us in seemed nice.

1. The front door requires a key to leave. Dangerous if there was a fire as you can’t easily get out. 2. Price quoted in USD but payment taken in soles. Hostel determines their own exchange rate, which doesn’t appear to have any relation to global exchange rates, meaning the property cost us £6 more than expected. Had we known, we wouldn’t have booked. 3. There was a hair on the sink which wasn’t ours and definitely wasn’t from someone’s head. 4. The shower was dangerous and kept tripping, meaning the hot water would go off and the lights would flicker. 5. Pillows were stained. 6. Breakfast very average. 7. Hostel seem to overcharge for services. Looking at other reviews, we should have realised this but as we weren’t booking a tour through them we didn’t think it would matter. This was until we were quoted 70 soles to go to the airport the evening before we needed it - 20 more than they told us the day before (it’s about a 20 min journey). The hostel will say this is because of the time of day - this is untrue, as when we checked in we said it needed to be 5am and specifically asked whether any transport was available at that time in the morning. The guy said at that time in the morning, it was ‘safer’ to book with them for 50 soles. When I was unhappy with this and say ‘I feel that you’re taking advantage of us’, a lady from the hostel proceeded to scream at me and insult me for 10 minutes, that it was her house etc., that I was no lady and even told my boyfriend to reconsider his relationship with me. It was absolutely insane and after reading other reviews afterwards, seems to be a common reaction when guests realise they have been massively overcharged. I can anticipate the hostels response to this to save grace - but she went completely over the top and took it way too far. I was ordered to ‘apologise’ in front of her family for daring to speak to her this way (I.e.

Karin is really great and nice person. Hostel is small and cozy with a wonderful view of the moon from the terrace.

Great place, away from the loud street, room service, kitchen at your disposal, nice terrace with the possibility of total chill, comfortable beds. The hosts were very helpful, we felt very taken care of. I definitely recommend this place. :) :) :)

really lovely family run hostel with a beautiful terrace, we enjoyed our stay there!

Karina made everything easy during our stay and she suggested to visit the main attractions in the area

The neighborhood is too noisy.

Super friendly staff and nice common areas to socialize with fellow travelers!

The hostel is a small house, but it has almost everything you will need during your trip to Iquitos. The room was cozy, clean and quiet, the bathroom was also well-equipped. The TV had access to Netflix, so it was easy to watch a nice movie. Regarding the breakfast, it was fair and had a nice presentation.

The location is not the best, so taking a tuk tuk became expensive. It's not in the city centre. If you don't have problems with walking a bit, great.

Owners were incredible helpfull and friendly. They helped us a lot to fing perfect jungle tour. Kitchen is very well equipped here. And rooftops is the best. You can relax in a hammack or party with some international travellers. And amazonian sunsets are just amazing as well.
