I can`t talk about the shared rooms, but the private rooms are realy good! I plan to recommend this hostel to all my friends that are going to Cuzco. Well located, friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere, daily activities in the hostel, good beds... well, everything you can expect from a hostel.

What a great place to stay! Such a range of spaces. Quiet areas if you want your own space, bustling bar/restaurant if you want to socialize, lovely courtyard to read or write. Super friendly staff, especially the ¨free information¨ desk. They made everything so easy, from the storage lockers to constant stream of coca tea. And so close to the main plaza!

Everything was amazing. The people that I went on the horse back riding trip with loved the program and our guide, Miguel. It was very difficult to sleep on a Friday night in room 106. The speakers are too close...

Bit pricey, but a lot comes with it. Clean, nice to have outlets in private lockers. There was no hot water, but they responded and was quickly fixed. Great group activities and created very nice communal spirit. Nice to have the friendly tour/travel contact right in the hostel. Enjoyed the always ready tea. Great location. Perhaps some of the staff spoke limited English, but overall it was a great stay!

The beds are awesome! Shower/bathroom to people ratio was great. Can be a little loud as people are either partying or getting up early for treks. Always activites and staff is always cleaning the bathrooms. Wifi was a little choppy, but that's Peru! Lot's of computers and the courtyard is awesome! Have the hangover soup, amazing!

We loved staying at this hostel. The beds were very warm and comfortable (two pillows), the place was nice and clean. We loved the atmosphere - laid back, cool, always something fun going on, always helpful staff around. We really liked it a lot. The internet room and bar are useful, comfortable spaces. Comfy couches. The bar has good food. The only tiny complaint would be that I wish we had wifi in the actual bedrooms, (we had to go to out to the patio, or the bar, or the internet room)

Really nice hostel, great courtyard space and lots of communal areas. Comfy beds and clean dorms. The kitchen is very small and there was often a wait to use it.

Excellent Hostel! Perfect location, great restaurant & bar, amazing staff (they even helped people carry bags to their room), beautiful colonial building, spotlessly clean, great vibe & activities every night! Can't fault this hostel in anyway. The only thing they could add which would take this hostel from amazing to best in Peru would be wifi throughout the whole hostel (currently only common areas). Highly recommended hostel!

As we exited the taxi and walked up to the front door of the Pariwana, the effects of the altitude began to make us weary. As the giant wooden doors opened, we were greeted with a glimpse of heaven. The sun was shining brightly down upon the center courtyard, which was filled with incredibly beautiful women lounging on bean bags. It was so picturesque that I almost heard a choir of angels singing down from above. The rooms were as clean and comfortable as a hotel. The staff was fantastic. Meh...

Need more hooks in room for hanging towels/ jackets. Would be nice if the wifi worked in the room. Vegetarian bbq was missable.

You can find cheaper options in Cusco, but the character and location are worth the money spent.

Great place and nice staff. Me and my friends stayed in two different rooms and both of them didn't have windows. As a old building, I would recommend an exhaust fan for the rooms and the bathrooms to remove the "oldy" smell and moisture.

Pariwana was a fun place in a great location, but it needs wifi in the rooms and should include towels & locks with the rooms.

I really like it here, the beds are amazing. Two pillows and a real duvet?? Yes thank you. It is party without being too party and the noise isn't bad at night. Wifi is pretty good too. Location is excellent and you feel really safe there as well. Been twice in about two weeks so definitely worth it. People can be insensitive but the hostel is great. Free tea etc and kitchen is brill but the good isn't badly priced either. Would definitely recommend
