Great place away from downtown but a short walk away.
I had an absolutely amazing time here. I only had 2 nights stay and wish I could have stayed for much longer. The hostel owners are absolutely amazing people. I felt so fortunate to gain so much knowledge of the surroundings from their local upbringing in Cusco. A few minutes distance to the Inca trail and many free sites. 20 minute downhill walk to Cusco city center. Absolutely would recommend!
+ Helga and Romulo were absolutely delightful. Gave us a warm welcome and lots of local tips . Romulo is also a guide with many years of experience, very knowledgeable in Andean culture . Their garden is quite pretty and full of pottery ( he gave us and introduction in their names and uses ) . The doggies are super sweet . And the location is amazing being so close to preserved Inca trail and many huacas.
+ Los anfitriones super amables y predispuestos. El desayuno súper completo y abundante. Buen lugar si querés hacer valle norte. Las habitaciones amplias y cómodas
I had an incredible time at KOSKO! The location is simply beautiful. It’s a 60 second walk from the templo de luna and there’s lots of beautiful mountains, nature trails and wild horses. Rómulu and Helga were incredible hosts. They went above and beyond in every way. They let me keep all my stuff in my room when I went on the Salkantay trek, made a delicious breakfast every morning and would give me a hot water bottle each night before bed. It’s a beautiful garden with two beautiful dogs ...
+ Wenn nochmal Cusco, dann dort!! Die Unterkunft an sich ist Mega. Ist zwar kein Hotel, aber viel besser. Die Gastgeber sind herzliche Menschen, wie man sie selten erlebt hat. Wie wurden selbst in die Stadt gefahren!
- NIX!
+ Many places have we stayed and never have we felt more at home. Two nights turned into nine. Amazing hospitality from Helga & Romolo. And of course Sophie & Lupo, their loving pups. A tip to who makes the wise decision to stay at Kosko: walking into town is a joy. About 25 minutes downhill to Plaza de Armas, first through the national park on and old Incan trail, then through the amazing San Blas neighborhood. Because it’s uphill, and usually we were tired coming back at night, we taxied home. 20 soles. Uber will calculate wrong and the drivers will cancel your ride because the fare Uber calculates is too low, which is true. Don’t be surprised if an Uber driver asks for more. It’s how it works. While getting to and from downtown is a bit more of a quest from Kosko, it’s location wins big when you’re heading north of Cusco to daytrip to the many towns & Incan sites in the Sacred Valley. It’s a 5 minute walk from Kosko across the national park to the road north where you can easily pick up a very affordable white combi van to wherever you want to go. And the same coming home. 5 soles to Pisac for example. Don’t let the outside of downtown location steer you away. It’s a strength of Kosko’s! Now I have to figure out how to live without a hot water bottle in my bed every night.
- Nada
Pro: Location is far from the city center, but so good for relaxation and if you need some quiet space. The staff and owners are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good. Con: have to pay additional 6% charge if you were to pay by card. Tour recommendations are more expensive than the one in the city Center overall.
Romolo and Helga were extremely kind, gracious, informative, and caring hosts. They really made this hostel feel like a home and the rooms were SO cute, clean, and spacious. Comfiest bed I’ve stayed in during my travels. The hostel is located in a quiet location with easy access to an old Inca trail that goes directly down into san Blas neighborhood and there’s a bus stop 5 minutes walking that will take you to the sacred valley pueblos for 5 soles. Breakfasts & pets were the cherry on top!
+ Great food, very accommodating hosts, and a beautiful location. It felt like a home away from home.
- The hot water was a bit faulty where it would be burning hot and then freezing, but other than that it was great!

+ Die Betreiber des Hotels, Romulo und Gelga sind wundervolle Menschen. Sie sind Hilfsbereit und helfen bei jedem Anliegen. Mit ihnen fühlt man sich wie zuhause, was den namen „Casa“ völlig rechtfertigt. Der Service ist mehr als zufriedenstellend und der Garten und die Terassen sind wundervolle Oasen um ambends oder Tagsüber zu entspannen. Den ganzen aufenthalt versüssen einem zusätzlich die zwei Hunde Sophie und Lupo, welche richtig Kuschelsüchtig und super Menschenfreundlich sind. Falls man mal einen schlechten Tag hatte, kam man „nach Hause“ und konnte sich von einem Kuscheligen Vierbeiner trösten lassen. :) Die Lage ist für Naturfreunde und Menschen, die es gerne ruhig haben perfekt. 5 min vom „Templo de la Luna“ entfernt, welcher von Wunderbarer Natur umgeben ist. Dort kann man wundebar wandern, spazieren oder einfach die Berglandschaft von Cusco geniessen. Die Unterkunft ist jeden Cent wert.
+ The absolute best thing about this hotel is the hosts. Romulo and Gelga are sensational. They are willing to help, offer advice and basically be an abroad family for you. They are great. The rooms were spacious and clean. Also love the hotel dogs (Sophie and Lupo). They’re always friendly and love pats.
- This is either a positive or a negative. But you are a bit out of the Centro Historico here. It’s a good 20-40 minute walk both ways. But that also means it is super peaceful and quiet here (your close by qenqo and Sacsayhuaman here).
+ Wenn man sich im Garten aufhält, dauert es keine ruhigen 5minuten und man bekommt einen Kolibri zu Gesicht. Das Frühstück ist In Ordnung. Die Lage perfekt wenn man zu den Orten laufen möchte, da alles direkt um die Ecke ist. Wenn man etwas Essen möchte muss man allerdings runter in die Stadt, das muss man bedenken! Tolle herzliche Gastgeber die sich wirklich um einen kümmern und Gespräche mit dir auf dem Niveau deiner Reise führen! Die Zimmer sehr sauber, etwas frisch aber man bekommt eine heise WärmFlasche ins Bett. Die Dusche wird warm (erst nach 2-3min) also wer ungeduldig ist duscht halt kalt ;)
- Man muss sich der Lage bewusst sein. Es ist viel laufen oder viel Taxi bezahlen. Da ich Laufen bevorzuge kein Problem für mich.
I don't even know where to start because everything about staying at KOSKO was so amazing. The owners, Helga and Romulo, truly treated everyone staying there like they were their own children. KOSKO feels like a home rather than a temporary place to stay for that reason. I unfortunately could only stay for a couple of days but in those days, I witnessed Romulo take care of and constantly check in on a guest who was sick during her stay like she was his daughter. On top of that, he made me and my...

This is more than just a hotel, it's a place of healing. The owners have found the exact balance with being caring and nurturing but also respect your space. Helga, a true symbol of mother earth, providing grounding energy and amazing breakfast smoothies. Romalu, a true symbol of the sun, providing wisdom, protection and energy! The hotel is beautiful, the dogs are beautiful and the area is beautiful! I couldn't recommend this place enough, especially if you're looking for somewhere quiet.
+ Herzlichkeit der Gastgebern. Die zwei Hunde Lupo und Sophie.
- Nichts.
Had the most welcoming & authentic stay here!! Romaro & Helga really take care of their guests, it felt like having my parents there. The place is so cute and cosy and even had waterbottles for the cold nights 💕 They organised sacred valley & city tours for me which were amazing! My only issue was with the location being a bit inconvenient- I would recommend using their service over uber as my driver unfortunately got lost - but thankfully Romaro saved me in this case and picked me up 🙏
Que alojamiento tan mágico!! Tanto por los dueños, la energía que lograron crear tan acogedora, sus perritos y el silencio relajante del lugar donde se encuentra. Camas ultra cómodas calentitas y por supuesto nuestra bolsita de agua caliente cada noche!!!! Cualquier cosa que necesites Helga y Rómulo están ahí para ayudarte.. el desayuno abundante y delicioso huevo, palta, jugo natural, fruta… nada más que pedir de un alojamiento, nos fuimos con el corazón llenito!!!!! Volveré seguro!...
