Hostel Del Barco Reviews

Everything good. Just change the toilet paper bin.

Most unfriendly staff I came across in Peru. There was no water in our bathroom and they didn´t seem to care about it. We had to ask deveral times, and were told that somebody should have told us that the water was down in the entire town (which wasn´t the case). Finally they put on rainwater which was cold and brown. Rooms very basic, no WiFi and a very dirty pool. Consider spending a little more in Huacachina in stead of choosing this hostel. There are way better places.

the staff is not very efficient, the room and swimming pool is basic: we had a problem with the door

I think it was a perfectly safe and clean place to stay. The location is great as well, not to mention the roof top. We had a great time. Thanks

We are unable to rate this Hostal as once we arrived, they said they had double booked and shuffled us over to a nearby hostel. That hostel was awful and they charged us the same amount even though we didn't get the room we were promised.

Not a bad place to stay. It does feel more like a motel than a hostel, but the staff are friendly and there's a decent restaurant with pretty good food. The pool and roof top terrace are nice places to relax. We had a room with a private bathroom which unfortunately didn't get cleaned for the duration of a stay, which probably wouldn't have been a big deal had Huacachina not been such a sandy place. Other than this, we were happy with the accommodation and we enjoyed our stay here.

Nice pool area and our room was spotless. There were only a few guests at the time so the place was pretty quiet

It´s a cheap hostel, well located. I didn´t liked they charged for the use of the towels. the "bar" on the roof is very old and the furniture is really bad. It´s good it has a pool, and the restaurant is really good.

There was no hot water at all and water pressure was very poor. It's a party hostel geared more towards the younger crowd, but then again so is Huacachina. I spent one day and one night there and it was fine. Loved the dune buggy ride and sand surfing on the dunes. Restaurants don't open until 9.00 am in Huacachina. Huacachina is a must if you are doing the Nazca lines, it's only 2 and 1/2 hours bus ride. I took Soyuz bus and it only cost me 10 sols from Nazca to Ica, from Ica I took a tuk tuk

Very little English spoken but helpful staff. Basic and clean. Nice but small pool. No wifi. Needed extension lead for electricity in our room. Staff were happy to provide this though.

This hostel was average: the two good things are great showers and great location. It's attached to a good rrestaurant with a nice menu. The downsides are the lack of wifi and strictly average facilities. The hostel does not cater to backpackers and is more like a motel. The staff was nice but they never cleaned our room. This place is goo if you only want a bed for the night and no frills included.
