The neighborhood is too noisy.

Right now there is massive construction going on right in front of the accomodation. Unfortunately you cannot chill between 8am and 7pm - it is so loud you don't even understand the person next to you. We asked the host for a reduction since we didn't know about what was going on but they refused - too bad! You have to be aware that this place is in the middle of the slums and you definitely need a Tuktuk to get into the main part (around 3-5 soles) HONEST ADVICE: skip Iquitos - it is not nice at all!!!!! It is loud (many tuktuks and too many people), massive dirty.

The host (very well English-speaking! ) was very nice and helpful. The terrace and kitchen area is very much comfortable and has everything to chill. If you would imagine this place somewhere else it would have been perfect.

Because we did the tour with the overnights and the arrangement of Monkey Island, we weren’t able to get a discount on our room in the Amazon house.. The tour itself was quite fun. However there were some activities mentioned on the program that didn’t take place due to dry season. it would’ve been nice to be informed about this. ;) Also the cabins in the Amazon were more basic than we expected, as the pictures they showed us were different from the cabins we eventually got. Our guide Raoul was a good guy and could speak English which was great as wel!

We were welcomed by Karina, who is the very bubbly and friendly owner of Amazon House. We wanted to do the Amazon tour but weren’t sure how many days because the activities you did on the tour depended on how many days you were going. Karina arranged the extra activity to go to The Monkey Island which is normally not in the itinerary so that was great! Furthermore did she also give us many tips regarding restaurants, other activities and transport. TIP for Amazon House: everybody loved the Monkey Island so definitely an activity to consider putting into the usual itinerary;) The room was also very clean at the apartment and we had AC to cover the heat.

It´s a bit from the centre, and expected a better breakfast (even though they have the options to upgrade your breakfast).

Local hostal with comfortable roof terrace with hammocks, and very friendly owners. The rooms are simple but comfortable, in the end, it is what I had expected for what I had paid.

Quite a distance from the Center of town, otherwise great value for money

a few restaurants down the road we’re playing really loud music, especially on Saturday night, I feel this would be an issue in any hostel in the city, and often peru….. bring some good ear plugs

managed by a friendly and helpful family, comfortable clean rooms, great breakfast

Karin is a super nice great host, who makes lovely breakfast and adapts everything so that you have a perfect stay. It's not in the center, but in a quiet safe neighboor-hood. I felt safe there and you have everything you need. If you don't know what to do, just ask Karin she know all things to do and is always happy to help out and even send you whatsapp messages to make the best out of your stay. She is a little jem.

The staff were unfriendly and they didn’t give back to our passport and we needed to pick up again. They shouldn’t keep it during the stay. Also some cockroaches and insects were inside the room. It was far from the main places.

Very normal

In general my stay was ok, however I booked a full day tour and it was not what they said and mentioned in a contract that I signed. I wanted to go to a sanctuary to see rescued animals and I ended up in a zoo. Animals locked and they also allowed to feed them and taking pictures with them. Very sad situation I asked them to return to town and they didn’t make a refund even though that was not what I signed and did not try to calm down the situation. The guide did not show up anymore.

The rooftop terrace is a very relaxing place

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.

The gentleman who checked us in seemed nice.

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

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.

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.

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.

It is super clean and the bed is very comfy. iThe Terrance at the roof is super nice. The kitchen is very nice, as the vegetarian, there is not much choice in Iquitos, appreciate able to cook. There have some shop near the hotel that can buy the ingredients. And it is very close to the square. Thank you Carolina to help plan the trip in the city. Thank you for the arrange taxi at the airport ( with extra money) and all the penitent on what’s app communication. Thank you for the wonderful breakfast. Try the vegetarian one, love the fruit mix, it was fantastic. The jungle trip is wonderful, must need to try. It is once in the life time experience. Thank you for the Wi-Fi. If I go back to Iquitos again, will stay here again.

The owner, Karina, was so kind and welcoming. She truly made us feel like part of the family and I would happily stay here again!

The Amazon house is run by a family. They are all really nice and helpful. The tours they offer are safe and we could even change the program to our liking.

We were staying for one night (Sunday night - Monday morning). The neighborhors were playing such loud music in the middle of the nights. From 1 am to 5 am, so it was difficult to sleep even with the ear plugs. Probably I'd talk to neighbors to consider the fact that this hostel is hosting people that need a good rest and quality sleep during the night. As for the hostel, all the rest was extremely well organized. And as I said, it was the best stay I experienced in whole Peru. 👌

One of the best staying. Staff is so nice. Hospitality is on such high level. Rooms are so cosy and beautiful. And clean. And what I loved the most was a huge kitchen and well equipped. And such a beautiful common on the roof top. That was one of my favorite places. It was such an amazing stay in this hostel. Such a beautiful and cosy experience. 👏 This is the best place to chill and enjoy, therefore, I recommend to stay slightly longer than one night.. it's fantastic.. the whole atmosphere. And the views are really nice!! 👌

i had the impression that the hostel is profit orientated and the hostel jungle tours are quiet expensive compared with others. the Laundry service was not available when i asked. itwas very loud there on many days
