This might just be the best option in town. The first time I went to Iquitos, I checked several places and this one was the cheapest. However, this does not mean that the others are better. All on the contrary. This is a falimy run hostel. It's very clean, the staff (the lady of the house, her son, and some... More

I stayed at this hostel for about a week not knowing what to expect but it turned out to be lovely. Comfortable beds, very clean bathrooms, and a pool! The owners were very friendly and helpful, as well as fellow travelers. A seriously great value and a good time.

It is a very lovely and nice hostel with friendly staffs. There is a home-made swimming pool at the back of the house whereas unfortunately I did not bring my swimming tools. They offer jungle tours as well so you need not book the tour package in advance. The cost on transportation by motocarro is approximately 15 nuevo soles. The... More

We stayed for 3 nights in a double room. The room was spacious and bed comfortable, all rooms have a fan. The shared bathrooms are very clean. And like already stated in most of the previous reviews this hostel has a pool! The hostel is about a 15 minute walk to the main plaza and waterfront where all the bars... More

What makes this small hotel a delightful "home away from home" is the friendly staff and clean, refreshing swimming pool. Their affiliated Jungle Wolf agency also runs excellent tours deep into the Amazon Jungle - a must-do if you can spare a few days and don't mind "roughing it" a little. The rustic all-wooden lodge is clean, provides superb food... More

We got to Golondrinas unwillingly: we wanted to go to another, much cheaper hostel, but for the first time in our lives got fooled by a taxi driver saying that "the place is closed". Nevertheless, in the end were even happy he did so: for 35 soles we got an incredibly nice private room and facilities and a swimming pool... More

Golondrinas in two words "SWIMMING POOL" yes it sound very superficial, but you must consider that Iquitos it's a really hot and humid, so a swimming pool it's a high light you will only find in big and expensive hotels; but Golondrinas it's a very simple hostel, the staff is friendly and helpful, the beds are alright, i arrived to...

A quiet hostel near the center of Iquitos, with a refreshing swimmingpool and a kitchen you can use. It´s clean and the staff is very nice. And besides that, it´s one of the cheapest hostels in Iquitos. I would also recommend to book a tour in this hostel into the jungle for a couple of days. Just stay in this... More
