Black Llama Hostel Cusco

I didn’t really like this hostel, expensive services (laundry and luggage storage) and the breakfast is more or less just cupboard like bread with cold eggs and some slices of cheese/jam/fruits. The staff (except the volunteers) didn’t seem so nice as well and I didn’t dig the vibe of the hostel. Felt like an action packed, overrun hostel for me, but I think it can be a great place for people to connect doing touristic stuff.

Wasn’t a fan of this place. Our room smelled of sewage for the entire time we were there and the rooms were tiny with almost no floor space, staff were not very friendly, no filtered water provided, free breakfast was nothing to write home about with stale bread and cold eggs. The location is great and space is nice but not sure why the rating is so high

En este hospedaje me robaron una chaqueta avaluada en 200USD y no era el primer robo que ocurría allí. Al llegar a la habitación, un chico francés nos contó que a él también lo habían robado el día anterior. Cuando informamos a Christopher en la recepción, su única respuesta fue: “en esa habitación les pasa de todo”, sin ofrecer ninguna solución ni apoyo ante la situación.

Comfy beds, although the 2nd dorm I was moved to was quite cramped. Breakfast was great and nice they offered a packed breakfast for early trips. Not very social, a couple of scheduled activities were very delayed, and also they offered no main vegetarian options. They also charge you to store your bags there if you do the Salkantay, and have the cheek to offer a discount if you give them a good review.

Great atmosphere at night and they are cautious re noise to create a nice environment. Social staff were amazing.

Very disappointing experience, not to recommend.

We stayed at this hostel for 4 days and were disappointed. Upon arrival, we were told there was no water, supposedly affecting the whole city, but nearby hostels had hot water. We asked for bottom bunks but were denied, despite several being empty most nights. The atmosphere was lacking, and there were ants in my bunk and the bathroom. Even after asking twice, it wasn’t cleaned properly. While the hostel is new, it needs major improvements before justifying the prices they charge.

Don't stay here. Highly overpriced for what you receive. Wifi not working multiple days in a row despite promises it would work the next day, only to rebook and find it not working. Bunk beds are poorly constructed compared to others at a similar price point and shake excessively in the night leading to a poor sleep.

El día del ingreso, luego de pagar me informan que están con cortes de agua por la situación en la que se encuentra Cusco;sin embargo, que el hotel contaba para abastecer de agua y que no iba a tener problema con ello, pero… la realidad fue otra. Al día siguiente como huéspedes nos tocaba bajar a la Recepcion para saber a qué horas había agua, en esa parte les falta proactividad,me tocó subir un mal y el personal no brindó subirlo; me cambiaron de cama, falta organización Y comunicac...

Stayed in a 12-bed dorm & it’s extremely cramped, beds are comfy but it has a tiny hall to get to the beds so only one person can fit at a time & you can’t walk by if someone is getting their stuff. The wifi works terribly, and my laundry from the laundry service was returned late and still wet. During my stay there was no running water due a problem in the city, which I understand is out of their control but they didn’t do nearly enough to announce when it would be on or compensate in any...

- Overall good hostel - Very clean - Plugs by beds and curtains - Staff very friendly and will try to accommodate your were possible - Breakfast is decent for a hostel -ive’s - WiFi is terrible is rooms (I was in 2 did rooms both times WiFi rarely worked) but good in common areas - didn’t find it that social might have been lots of people going on tours early - showers are hot and clean but could have a better privacy set up (more then a curtain for a the changing room area)

This is a really good hostel if you're wanting to meet new people and attend events. Although it didn't align with what I needed at the time, I enjoyed the effort they make to offer cool opportunities. Also liked how private the beds we're (curtain + a little bedside nook + bedside light). Also have breakfast and restaurant but didn't go.

Very nice hostel with good common areas. Staff are also lovely

Buena ubicación y instalaciones. El personal muy agradable y la comida muy buena. La única pega que pondría es el lavamanos de la habitación de 8 que no es muy cómodo.

Great hostel good atmosphere

Amazing hostel, really close to the centre with super friendly staff!

Great Hostel, very clean. There's a bar upstairs that had a good variety of drinks (some on the pricer side). cool activities going on throughout the week, although not the most social hostel still a great one to stay in. Gabby was amazing and helped me out a lot.

Very clean and comfortable hostel, great for relaxing either side of the salkantay trek. Luna was very friendly and helpful

The hostel is amazing. The staff are so helpful and make sure you have a good time. The good: - location - food The bad - room are just too cramped - sometimes there were some ants and bugs on my bed

Great location, loved the bar upstairs and breakfast. I liked the 6 female dorm better than the mixed dorm bc it was roomier and had an elevated hang out space! Safe and they have an ATM which was helpful. The ladders on bunks were not the best especially when you have altitude sickness. Overall great stay, enjoyed my time with my cousin here!

free breakfast was solid, very clean, nice rooms, good location, no complaints

A luxury hostel with amazing location & interior beds are great except the mattresses are getting a bit worn out all of my friends had the same issue it’s like a crater in the middle, but they are still relatively comfortable.

NO KITCHEN IN THE HOSTEL!

Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far, felt like home!

Really friendly personal, great breakfast

Mooi hostel, maar eigenlijk net te groot. Iedereen doet vooral zijn eigen ding, waardoor je toch moeilijker met mensen in aanraking komt. Medewerkers van de receptie zijn niet uitnodigend. Laat je kleding hier niet wassen, wordt veelste heet gedaan… mijn kleding is gekrompen. Kamers schoon en netjes, fijn dat je een gordijn hebt.

Fantastic hostel, really friendly staff very helpful. Nice to have access to coca leaves and adjust to altitude and Cusco! Great rooms, very comfortable and a fantastic Bachata class just before my 4 day inka trail! Washing service great also!

La ubicación es excelente, hay actividades todas las noches y también existe la posibilidad de pedir el desayuno para el día siguiente si tienes que salir muy temprano :) Sin embargo, el wifi no es nada bueno… hay varias redes disponibles, pero ninguna funciona correctamente :(

Super awesome hostel! Friendly staff, good breakfast, perfect location and super clean

Fantastic hostel, good atmosphere, friendly staff and guests and nice spaces to relax in. Only small downside was the wifi which was sometimes intermittent.
