Kosko Casa was an unexpected gem. I booked it after having seen the beautiful pictures of the place on booking; despite being a new hostel with only a few reviews, it gave me the impression of the kind of spot I would like to stay at. It wasn't in the heart of Cusco like most hostels, and i had a feeling i would benefit from more views and less tourists. I was right :) Romulo, Helga and Marco made me feel welcome from the first moment I met them. Romulo knows every fascinating bit of history there is to know about Cusco and the surrounding areas, he was thrilled to show me around and share with me his unbelievably vast knowledge; Helga's cooking, her attention to details, her quiet but killer sense of humour, made my stay feel even homelier; and finally Marco, one of a kind - a funny, attentive, lighthearted presence in such an already warm environment. The hostel is of course still quite new; during my stay (had planned to leave after one night, ended up staying over a week) I saw everyone's relentless efforts to make the place even efficient, the best that it can possibly be - and it was already so so close :) I recommend it to whoever is craving to learn more about Cusco's history and tradition, its incredible ruins and cerimonial sites, to anyone looking for a spot equally peaceful and vibrant; truly a familiar place away from home.

Yani and her family are wonderful hosts. Very helpful and friendly. They speak good English. The room is very inviting and comfortable. At nighttime it's very quiet. I loved the hot showers! Bathroom was only shared with 1 more room. Some may prefer to stay right in the city center of Cusco, I actually liked to be a few minutes away from it.

Hommam was a great place to stay in a fantastic location. The room was excellent as were the amenities and the courtyard. I arrived late and Sharmely was very helpful checking me in and sharing recommendations for groceries and food around the hotel. Would highly recommend for solo and couple travelers.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great service, super welcoming, nice breakfast and the perfect budget hostel. Its surrounded by cheap food options and a 5 min walk from the main plaza. Cheap and cheerful. Kevin is really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Not a party hostel, so be aware, but still had fun and a few nights out with the staff and guests!
