At the hostel, all rooms are fitted with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at KOSKO Casa Hotel also have free WiFi, while certain rooms also offer a balcony. At the accommodation all rooms include bed linen and towels.

Hosts: The hotel is beautiful but the real highlights are Gelga and Romulo. I have never met hosts as hospitable, warm, and generous as they were. They went above and beyond to make sure I have a wonderful stay. Romulo and Gelga even help guests book and arrange the tours they want to do. They also provide warm compress every night, which is especially great during winter. Room and Facilities: The room and facilities were always kept clean and pristine. Laundry service is also available. Breakfast: Loved the breakfast!! Gelga and Romulo always made sure we had enough food and they always blended fruits in the morning to make us fresh and organic juice. Location: The hotel is 30 minutes away from the city center by taxi. The surrounding nature, however, makes up for the distance. It's right beside Templo de la Luna and a huge, huge, huge national park that you can explore freely. You can even go horseback riding if you want to. And Romulo can hike with you and give you a tour of the park and talk about its history. Pets: They have 2 dogs, Lupo and Sophie, and 1 cat, Whiskey - all of whom are well trained and very sweet. Overall, this is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in - - it's a place where you know and feel that the hosts truly care about you. You will not regret staying here. ❤️

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel came recommend on the backpacker party circuit and I understand why - plenty of space, all new and clean facilities, good bar and party vibes. For me personally it was too loud but I think you know what you’re getting into with Kokopelli. Definitely cheaper options out there in Cusco but Kokopelli is worth the money if you want security/no hassle.
