For right now, I would avoid this place like the plague! They are building newer rooms which should be better, but the room we had was the second worst room in a hostel in all of Peru. It was so bad my girlfriend broke up with me over it. The walls are paper thin and moved if you touched them,... More

We stayed here for three night. The rooms are very basic and very noisy due to the paperthin wooden walls (you can hear your neighbour turning around in his or her bed). Our room seemed clean but a mouse ran over our bed at night, which is a bad sign. The door had a good lock but the window didn´t... More

The rooms are very basic and quite noisy due to the thin walls. However the host is great, very friendly and helpful. All rooms have shared bathrooms which were a bit smelly but not dirty and were also open air due to a big square of roof missing (on purpose I think). Shower was warm and adequate pressure. Beds were... More

About a dozen wooden, spotless, cabins not really in a solid state but safe enough after all. Very basic facilities. 2 beds, a table and a chair. Breakfast is not possible unless you prepare it yourself in the kitchen (there's a bakery at 150 m). The sanitary facilities are shared (warm showers) but clean. Alberto is there to welcome you...

This is a basic but nice place to stay in Paracas. Rooms are like wooden huts which aren't very soundproof (!) but I had a very comfortable bed and the room was clean. Shared bathrooms are also cleaned regularly and there's hot water. Alberto, the owner is extremely helpful and makes you feel at home. Great value, I'd recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic hostel run by the most friendly and welcoming couple. Alberto in particular is incredibly helpful with superb English and really makes you feel as though you´re at home. I had difficulty in arranging my trip from Lima so just arrived and hoped for the best. Alberto made sure that I could do all the things that I wanted... More

We stayed here for one night in June. Alberto is such a cool guy. He gave us LOADS of information about Paracas and Peru in general. He was so friendly and chatted to us for about and hour, he even gave us a taste of Pisco! He organised our trip to the Isalnds and walked us down in the morning... More

By boyfriend got sick, and Alberto gave us a free room so he could recuperate, after showing us the clinic. He gave us a printout of where we should visit in Colombia, was very VERY nice, willing to chat in perfect English. The rooms are sparse, but the price is right. Go see Alberto.
