Excellent location: very easy access to Miraflores and Barranco. The owner is very friendly, helpful and accommodating, for example when some of our travel was delayed. Thanks!

The wifi did not reach the room but it worked well in the common areas.

We stayed here for two nights at the end of our time in Peru. The host was kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious each morning--coffee, eggs, bread, and fruit. The location was great--quiet and easy to walk to Barranco and Miraflores. We loved spending time with the cats here. The room itself was small and a bit cramped for two people, with only a window looking into a common area below, but it was clean, the price was great, and we were only in our room to sleep so it was not a problem. The shower was hot. The common area on the roof was nice.

The family feel of the hostel, nice people and great neighbourhood to be based. Community feel, and nice breakfasts!

The street where it's located feels a bit rough but not unsafe. Very far from the town centre (but my mistake for not researching). The area wasn't as "bohemian" as I was expecting, which is why I chose Barranco as opposed to staying in Miraflores again. My room was up a steep narrow circular staircase. The room was quite damp (as Lima often is) - a small fan heater would've been useful. The light outside the window is on all night and although there is a curtain on it, it's not that effective in blocking out the light. The room could benefit from a narrow table / bookshelf to put your things on. Quite a small room ( also my mistake for not noticing) and little clearance around the toilet (if you are plus-size). Biggest problem was the internet didn't work upstairs and from talking to the owner this seems to be a regular problem. I was working online so couldn't work in my room, but he made space for me to work downstairs. Note that although the house seems big ( because rooms are on both levels) the common areas are quite small. I think Willy is doing a fabulous job and the place has a nice vibe but I thought it was a bit over-priced (not for Barranco) but compared to a double room with bathroom and breakfast in Miraflores. Suitable more for younger backpackers/ people staying in dorms.

The host Willy and his family were incredibly welcoming and work very hard to ensure their guests are happy. Check in was professional and friendly. Organised a drop off at the airport for me (for a free). Breakfast was good. At first I found the decor and house design a big overwhelming but then it grew on me. It very much is a family home, but still run professionally like a hostel, and well organised. Kitchen is well-equipped. Extremely clean room. Helped me carry my bags up and down. Had a little shared patio outside the room. Not far from a local market and about 20 mins walk to a supermarket.

I loved my stay there because it feels like a little family/home away from home. The breakfast brings you together with other travelers, there is a small terrace and the location is super good to explore Barranco. The owners are super friendly and make you feel welcomed. It’s clean, safe and if you want you can used the shared kitchen.

This family hostel was my home for three weeks in Lima. You will be hosted by kind and funny travellers. The hostel lays at the edge of Barranco and Miraflores so it's not far to any of both centers. The street is very quite which will ensure you a good night sleep!

No plugs or shelf by the beds. Beds were quite wobbly on the top bunk.

Really nice family breakfast and all the staff were really really lovely. Super quiet hostel.

Perfect location, felt very safe walking in the area even at night. Very nice house with a homely feel and spotlessly clean. The host was super helpful with advice regarding the area and with arranging shuttle to and from the airport. Very good home cooked breakfast. Friendly atmosphere, was lovely to chat to some of the other guests over breakfast

Nothing. It was great.

Willy was super nice and made us a great breakfast. The room was super clean and had a great outdoor space.

The staff was really great! It was the first hostel we slept in in Peru and I found the staff very helpful, the hostel is really cute and the room is small but cozy (I personally don't care about the size of my room when I travel, so the fact that it was small is not a downside for me at all) Didn't have the chance to stay at the hostel for a long time because we had to leave early the day after, but would have liked to know the place a bit more. The neighborhoods are gorgeous, we are not far from the sea side, we walked about 25 km that day without even noticing because we were just in awe with the beautiful colors, statues, gardens around!

Not a negative for me but as an FYI to others, as it is family run, spaces like the kitchen and sitting room are shared. Great if you want to practice your Spanish!

Such a lovely hostel in a fantastic location in Barranco. The hostel is decorated very homely so this made my stay even more comfortable! The family who own the hostel is very welcoming and friendly. Hot water 24/7 in the showers. Nice breakfast included. Muchas gracias!

Happy all around :)

Very good location (just in between central Barranco and miraflores, so everything walkable). Joanna and her brother are super kind, felt very well received and the breakfast was good!

We had a room with bathroom. It was basic, but clean and with everything needed. The location is nice, just 10 min walk from the center of Barranco. The hosts are super friendly and nice :) thanks a lot!!

Just minor things, but nothing to be worried about. I was missing a few better options to unpack the backpack. Water pressure in the showers is a bit weak but it's personal preference. Nothing serious to complain! :)

Super friendly hosts, really feels like being part of a family. Good recommendations to move around Lima and facilities are okay as well. Nice breakfast is served and multiple bathrooms available. Location is good as well, in Barranco, close to restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and public transport. Walking distance to the beach side which is a great spot for running!

The water heater sometimes turns off for a few seconds. Also the water in the neighbourhood was out for some time, however, since this is mandated by the water company, the hostel had no say in it.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, the hostel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, so we got a good night's sleep in the comfortable bed.

The family honer was great, she helped me a lot! She has lots of patience, and she is very nice. The breakfast was nice and the location was great. I will come back there (:

I would highly recommend the Beraja hostel to everyone visiting Lima! As a couple, the room with private bathroom was perfect to relax in after a couple of long flights. The hostel has a quaint, lovely atmosphere and a very good breakfast, but best of all, a hospitable host to make your stay worthwhile!

Stayed in July 2023

Location is slightly outside of the center of Barranco, but it's still only a 10min walk, so really that's not a problem :))

Super super lovely place, the owner very helpful and attentive! I love the very homey vibe of this place, its small and sweet. Additionally u can use their kitchen! The owner makes you a very good breakfast as well 😻 such a shame there wasn't more people there when I arrived. Instead of going where everyone goes, to kokopeli, come here, u will surely get a more personalized treatment and family vibes ❤️
