    Some of the bathrooms don't have signs telling people to use the fan when showering. My room's bathroom was very wet the first night.

    Loved the atmosphere!

    Hostel is great for meeting people, the put on social events every night. Very clean, a lot of bathrooms and areas to chill. Beds are the comfiest I have had in a hostel. Great location. But the best thing about this place is the staff, everyone is so kind and willing to help. They genuinely care and look out for all the guests.

    It was a little more expensive than the average hostel, but good reason for that when you arrive and see how clean, fun and comfortable it is.

    I fell in love with this hostel. For me as a solo traveler it was perfect. I felt safe all the time and there were all kinds of activities for meeting people. The place has everything you need, besides a kitchen, but you don’t need that anyways ‘cause there is a restaurant with great food and even sandviches for sale if you have an early hike. It has a great location, great facilities and it’s cleaned every day. The staff is very kind and welcoming, especially Bryan, who assures the good vibe when it comes to activites. I will definitely choose Kokopelli everywhere it’s available.

    Nothing

    The hostel is in a very good location, close to the center but in a quite place. The staff were wonderful, very kind people and funny. I book a 4 bed mix room, but they have a problem and change me to a 8 bed only female, but I don’t mind and the room was very spacious and clean, and quite, I can definitely say that in this room you won’t hear anything from the bar, any music or sound, that was great because I have a short time and wake up early everyday to tours. The bar for breakfast and restaurant at night are great too, good food and drinks

    People getting up at staggered times in dorms, 3am; 4am; 5am; 6am; 7am everyday! Scheduling dorms to those on excursions and those finishing and looking to relax is much better. Food isn’t the best in the restaurant and needs a better suited bar area for more communal events

    Great facilities, friendly staff! Just what you need as a backpacker!

    The hostel is so big that it is daunting to meet new people

    Really large and clean open spaces with a tourism desk inside to book tours. Private room was separated and spacious and bright. Activities every night however not always the biggest take up depending on the activity.

    We spent a total of 11 nights at the Viajero Kokopelli in Cusco. We had a wonderful time here and would check in again in a heartbeat! The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating! The hostel places great value on cleanliness. Every day the staff came by to clean our room, bring fresh towels and make our bed! This is the highest standard we have ever experienced in a hostel. We are very grateful, this contributed 100% to our feel-good factor! There is free tea in the hostel at all times! The internal bar also has delicious food and great drinks😍 The Viajero Kokopelli is great for meeting other travelers, but also for spending time alone! The pool table and table football were used regularly. Particularly noteworthy is the active leisure program! We took part in the pizza workshop, enjoyed the karaoke night and made our own burgers! In short: we love the Viajero Kokopelli ❤️

    We stayed in a private room - the beds and pillows were amazing, sooo comfortable. We had our best sleeps through out our 16 day trip here. The location was great, very central. Close to the plazas and most recommended locations to eat. It had a good restaurant within the hostel and lots of extra room/couches available for after check-out.

    More of just a comment than a complaint - this is a social hostel (scheduled activities and a bar), so if you’re not looking for a younger more social experience, it might not be the best choice for you.

    The facilities are clean/updated and the location is great for exploring Cusco for the first time. The free luggage storage is also very convenient for those doing a multi day trek to Machu Picchu and all of the staff were extremely nice to us - especially Jeffery at the front door!

    It's probably not really necessary to play Reggaeton loudly over breakfast. But they were OK with changing it.

    They seem to have prepared for everything at this hostal. Also a great place to meet people and compare notes. Lots of very helpful and friendly staff.

    Since it does have a bar (with quite good selection of food) it can be loud at times.

    The hostel is actually quite big, with two roofed courtyards and a garden out back, where they organize bonfires. I was surprised by how comfy the bunk beds were - and believe me I have quite a base for comparison.
