In three months in South America, even if just for one night, this was by far my favorite hostel. The staff was super friendly and engaging, the atmosphere very relaxing, and the breakfast amazing!

Awesome breakfast. I mean it. It's gorgeous. The staff is so warm and loving. The guy that serves the breakfast? amazing, he deserves a hug. They give you towels and toilet paper. Beds are comfy. They have an option for the mines tour which I took, and it was incredible. 100% recommended.

A perfect hostel to socialize and to enjoy all the amenities. Playing Table tennis together or watch some movies. The breakfast was amazing and served on a big table to eat together.

Incredibly kind hosts and an excellent breakfast — probably the best I’ve ever had in a hostel. The mining tour you can book here is also outstanding. In addition, there’s a TV room with over 200 DVDs, games, and more than 100 travel guides available for guests to use.

Good stay, great location. Keys were giant and annoying to carry and couldn’t ever find anyone at reception to leave key Should be a rule for no ping pong before 9am, it’s very loud in all rooms early morning

The friendliest staff compared to every other hostel I’ve stayed at. Very relaxed and calm. Great location with everything such a shirt walk away. Breakfast in the morning is very nice. Pool table, and tea available all the time is great. Lots of social areas across the building. I highly recommend if you are in Puno. I am now back for my second time

One of the best breakfasts you will have at a hostel. The host is super super friendly, great location from the main square and the rooms/showers are great. Can’t recommend enough!

Enjoyed my 2 nights at Koala. The staff are super friendly and the breakfast is amazing! They also orgaorganised the mine tour which was an eye opening experience. The beds are comfy but the bunk beds dont have a lot of headroom so be careful not to bump your head

The hostel is generally ok, rooms are fine but we got a bathroom that wasn’t cleaned before we occupied the room. Common spaces are not very cosy. Location is very good, super close to the city centre. Breakfast is amazing and abundant, including fresh pancakes!

Great breakfast at a hostel with a cool layout. Although climbing four flights of stairs can take it out of you with the altitude. Only complaints is that anyone could walk into the shared rooms, the front door was unlocked with an unmanned reception for hours, and the lockers were very small. Plus, when leaving we were given unhelpful advice on where to find a taxi.
