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.

Everything! Jenny and her family are amazing hosts. The hostel is in a quiet part of cusco just 10 min walk to the main square. A mini market and nice Italian restaurant are also close by. The rooms are huge and the private bathroom too. Everything always spotlessly clean (and even a daily tidy up which was a nice surprise). The breakfast is generous and delicious, served in your room or you can enjoy the alfresco area. Laundry service is well priced and all was returned clean and in full. Jenny speaks perfect English and has lots of knowledge of Cusco. Always ready to help in person or by WhatsApp. We stayed here three times as we based ourselves in cusco. Highly highly recommend.

All hostels in Cusco

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!
