Amazon House Iquitos

This place is a scam unfortunately. The owner over charged me for both nights I stayed. I brought up hostelworld receipts and he blew me off and said “I don’t care about that”. On my second night back, he put me as a solo female traveler into a room with just one other male. Even though I paid for a single room and then tried to up-charge me again for a different room by myself. I asked for help getting change, he didn’t help. I asked for help booking a very early motor taxi, no help.

Ich würde diese Unterkunft nicht mehr buchen. Bin morgens angekommen und konnte schon ins Zimmer, dafür wurde mir aber 30 Soles berechnet, was ich für 5h absolut frech finde. Wlan funktioniert schlecht und auf der Dachterrasse gar nicht. Die Sicht nicht spektakulär. Alles in allem überteuert, da gibts zentral gelegen besseres. Für den Flughafentransport wollten sie mit dem Tuktuk 35 Soles. Direkt draussen gefragt kostet es 20 Soles. Sämtliche extras massiv überteuert und sie zocken die L...

Do not book any tours through this hostel, they charged me double for a 3 day Amazon tour then refused to refund me the difference. Complete scam and they were aware they were charging double.

El trato de los dueños fue bastante desagradable y nos timaron. Al llegar nos obligaron a pagar la totalidad del costo del alojamiento aunque previamente ya habíamos pagado la reserva a través de la aplicación Hostelworld. Cuando se lo dijimos ignoraron nuestro comentario

The staff was rude! They just walked into our room when we were in it. And when we left they came into our room as well, even though we didn’t ask for cleaning. We didn’t feel safe at all, so we had to lock our stuff into our own bag. They also charge way too much for airport transport, so just take a tuktuk! Don’t go there! There are way better places to stay.

Nice private room, but 0 service, will not go again Arrived on July 21 and was charged extra for paying by card, without prior notice. No flexibility on breakfast times, even though I didn’t need all of them. They stored mattresses in my room while I was away without asking. Worst part: laundry service failed to deliver as agreed unless I paid more. Only the owner’s wife was kind and returned my clothes clean and folded. Canceled the rest of my stay—felt disrespected despite a ni...

Do not book a tour with them. We booked a private tour with Carlos (a staff of the hostel) for which we payed a lot of money and it ended up being a group tour. We then asked to instead pay the price of group tour (which is cheaper). Carlos refused and told us we could call the tour compagny, but that they would most likely say no. He said the best he would do was drive us to the airport for our flight the next morning (not even worth near the extra money we payed for a private that ended up not

I made the reservation for 3 friends and asked if it was ok to visit them in the hostel and spend some time together to which the owner said it would be no problem at all. After only a few hours without any reason he kicked us out with the explanation of being tired of watching the cameras all the time. I even offered to pay a fee for spending the day but he responded in a very impolite way. Too bad, this hostel might have potential but the owners sadly don’t know how to treat their guests we...

Nous avons eu un problème d’avion qui nous a fait décaler notre arrivée à 22h, nous avons prévenu l’hôtel à 19h dès que nous l’avons su, mais ils nous ont que ce ne serait pas possible d’arriver à cette heure là donc nous nous sommes retrouver sans hébergement en arrivant à Iquitos.

Not many options for hostels in iquitos. This place have most things you need but location is really far from everything. Hard to get food and groceries. Always takes forever to explain to Mototaxi where it is. The female owner was really nice and attentive. Good shower, good internet. But just felt like they would rip you off in anyway they can. Laundry was 10soles/kg (Normally 4 or 5) more expansive than nyc. Storing baggage was 10s for the first time. And the second time, the male owner was r...

We stayed for five days and prolonged for another two days because we enjoyed the view from the terrace, the kindness from the staff and the community with the other people there. Would recommend !

Super aardige familie. Ze zijn heel erg behulpzaam en we voelden ons welkom. Ze hebben ons hele waardevolle tips gegeven. Goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding en met een tuktuk is alles goed te bereiken. De atmosfeer was heel relaxed en de voorzieningen zijn goed. De tour die we via het hostel hadden geboekt naar de Belén Market was ook top.

A really lovely base for exploring Iquitos and the jungle. The rooms are clean, very comfy beds with everything you need. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and kind going out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Communal areas are really nice, relaxing roof terrace space and a very well equipped kitchen. Can’t speak highly enough of this accommodation and would recommend to anyone coming to Iquitos.

Basic hostel in Iquitos, a little outside the place de armas but all walkable if desired. I had a private en-suite, it was more practical than comfy but served the purpose. Staff were very friendly. Comparably expensive drinks tho. Great and bright kitchen, very nice social area upstairs but not the most social place I’ve been (also depends on the time of year and travelers obviously)

Great hostel, lovely staff although only really saw them when we arrived. Room was perfect. Kitchen facilities good. Location is a little out the way but easy to get to using local bikes. Breakfast not included.

Its a really cute place. The neighborhood wasn’t the best as a woman alone tho, and there isn’t much around. They don’t provide drinking water, you have to pay for it (at unreasonable prices imo). Also, it was kinda sad to see only one trash for everything. But other than that, the terrace upstairs is quite nice, and the place is nicely decorated!

After a few days in the Jungle this was the perfect hostel to rest and explore Iquitos. The staff is very friendly and helpful with recommendations and organizing an airport shuttle. The highlight is the terrace on the upper floor. Perfect to relax, read and connect with others :)

great hostel, Carlos speaks fluent English and was super helpful in arranging Amazon tours

This hostel is unique because its family owned and is therefore very cozy. If you don’t want a generic chain hostel experience but something with real Peruvian people, come here. Carlos in particular is a genuine guy who went an extra mile for me and went all the way to the port to ask about schedules for speedboats heading to Pucallpa.

It’s a nice hostal. Be careful you have to let them know you want the breakfast, otherwise you do not get breakfast

Amazing stay, highly recommend!

This property was great value for a private room which was very comfortable and had a functioning TV. It had an AC and a fan which made it very comfortable as iquitos is super hot. We stayed in this hostel before and after our jungle trip. The owner of the hostel is also very helpful and accommodating. The only fault I have is the location,, but it’s not too far a walk from the centre (although I wouldn’t go walking at night)

Good stay! Clean, and good kitchen and living area. No windows in room.

Great place to stay the night in Iquitos, very clean, friendly staff and great air conditioning

Charming place. The stay was perfect after three days in the jungle. The room and bathroom were very clean. The best part was the hospitality of the family who welcomed you and watching the beautiful sunset on the terrace.
