Camiri Floating Hostel and Bar Lounge Reviews

Marcel was very helpful for me while I stayed at Camiri, as well as the other staff, And it is definately relaxing to chill in a hammock at the floating hostel.

its a very nice place to stay with a beatifull view nice people works there

The concept of a floating hostel is fantastic. Unfortunately, there is so much construction going on you cannot relax and enjoy the place. My room was not even completed when I arrived. It could be a great place when the building is done and IF the owner hires someone good to clean.

The best thing about Camiri actually isn´t its awesome location on the Amazon river or the floating bar filled with interesting travelers all day, everyday - it´s their staff, led by Marcel, who will go WAY out of their way to help you find anything you need, including awesome Amazon Jungle tours, great places to eat, and guides for the Belen market. VERY highly recommend this hostel for any adventurous travelers looking for a great experience on the Amazon!

We had a fantastic time at the Camiri Floating Hostel, there is a nice relaxed vibe in the day and a sociable atmosphere in the bar at night. The setting makes it even more magical and if you´re lucky you might tempt Marcel to cook you his lovely shrimp and avocado salad dinner, defintely reccommended! We were ill when we arrived and Marcel and the other staff at the hostel looked after us so well giving us tea and pain killers and also organised our jungle tour which was absolutely amazing.

We stayed here for two nights and we loved it. We had he back room which was quieter than the rooms near the bar. The rooms are clean and fine for a few nights, although make sure You have insect repellent. The owner is friendly and has some awesome stories to tell once he has had a beer. The bar is friendly and a great place to hang out. We also booked our jungle trip through the Camiri and definitely had the best guide. I would stay here again and would definitely recommend it.

He didnt know that we were coming. We had to change rooms 3 times beacause he had overbooked and didnt know which rooms where taken. Plus there was way to much partying for this to be a place you want to catch up after a long journey. NOT RECOMMENDED!

It is a series of floating rooms overlooking a beautiful Amazon river sunrise (a must-see). Centrally located near downtown square (2 blocks). However, lots of mosquitoes, owner is friendly (he even help brought me around Belen market for free) - but sadly often too drunk to work/think! Rooms are quite tiny - in some cases the bugs/mosquitoes land on the top bunk! Bed was hard/creaky and there were limited shower and power charging options!

I can definatley recommend camiri floating hostel to anyone who is travelling to Iquitos, travelling solo I found it really easy to meet people and make new freinds there. It has really chilled social vibe during the week and partys on the weekends. Unlike other hostels around Iquitos camiri does not have the air and noise pollution that is unavoidable whilst staying in town. Camiri calmly floats on the river. Marcel the owner was very helpful, attentive and social. I lived there for 3 weeks.

We spent a wonderful time at the camiri hostel!The location and atmosphere are great.Relaxing next to the river.The best food we had so far!Marcel, the owner,one of the nicest person we met,made out of his way to make our stay amazing.He arranged us a trip to a lodge in the middle of the rainforest.The awesome guide Adriano knows all about wildlife and the local people.We´ve seen a lot of the pink riverdolphins,slots and an amount of exotic birds.Dont believe the capdriver,theyre liars.

The hostel floating on the river with hammocks etc is just great. The location is great too, close to everything, and the atmosphere is good too. They also served good food. But best of all is owner Marcel and his efforts to make you feel happy. Picked me up from the airpot in person, arranged a great jungle tip and took us to the Belen market, which was so much more interesting with him as a guide. Don't believe people at the airport telling you it''s not safe or anything, just go!

The bar and social areas are very interesting with a laid back vibe. A great place to have a drink. The rooms, however, are very bad. They are not cleaned properly nor are they maintained and kept up. Our ceiling leaked when it rained getting the bed wet. There was cigarette ashes on the night stand. There was spiders in the cabinet which had a broken door. The toilet didn't have a seat nor lid on it and the shower didn't have a curtain and there was no mirror in the room.

I had a great time at Camiri! The staff was amazing, very nice people. I even took the jungle tour arranged by Macel at the hostel, it was amazig!! I saw lots of wild animals, it was a wonderful experience. You can't miss it, and you must ask to take the tour with Adriano, the jungle guide. He has a lot of real knowledge. The mood is very relaxed, full of friendly people with whom you can have a cold beer while lookig over the river. The perfect place to have a drink, a jungle paradise.

Great hostel. Marcel is a very inviting host. He treats you well, and he has great knowledge on the right excursions to take so you are able to make the most of your stay in Iquitos.

This place is fantastic! Crazy party! )

Wow! I loved this place so much I came back and stayed for another week! Marcel was great and made me right at home like family which was important as I am a solo female traveler. He offered to take Me around town and was always there with the best coffee every morning. This place has a true amazon like feel to it which is what I wanted out of Peru! The only bad thing I can say is that eventually I had to leave!

Camiri provides you with all the opportunities to enjoy your time and get what you want out of Iquitos whether it be relaxing in a hammock watching the world go by, partying with the mix of locals and travelers who frequent the bar and listen to Marcels´ magical and eclectic collection of great music, swimming in the lagoon while a spectacularly colourful sunrise or sunset slowly unfolds in the distance within the beautiful and wide view from the back of the hostal. Camiri is the place to be.

well the hostel it self is amazing ! loved the location and the view from the hostel. at first day took them too much time to fix my room and my bed and they had a problem with the water so the transfered me to a private room for the same price for like 5 days was Gr8 ! marcello the owner is a nice guy and really helpfull the only thing that bothered me was that during the storms my room moved too much because its floating hostel in general i would go there again!

The hostel is actually floating in the middle of the river and its constructed only of wood. Definitly a hostel for backpackers and adventurous people. Not fancy at all but it has a really good atmosphere specially at night. The owner was super nice and friendly.

If you want to have a good times at Iquitos, Camiri is your place. Marcel is gonna give you all the help you need. Looking the river, the atmosphere is unveliable. 100% recomended.
