Can't complain, foods good, bar is good, room was super good. Stayed only one night as a solo traveler and met a load of people. Will probably go back on my way through Lima

Party hostel. Some of the rooms are really noisy, try to avoid rooms next to the common area. Insuite dorms, which is nice.

Quite a good hostel in a good location, only a few blocks from main square. Staff are friendly and constantly do security checks of wrist bands to make sure all are staying at hostel. We had two different rooms and one of our rooms didnt lock so we had to make sure we constantly locked our valuables in lockers before heading out. Other than that, a good social place.

I was really expecting a nice atmosphere here, but This hostel was full of israeli people on its yearly trip and they are not so friendly and most of them speaks only hebrew (myself speaking spanish, english and italian) so no communication. Other than that the service was ok, nothing really above average. If you want a quiet place to stay don't choose this hostel.

A really good experience at Wild Rover. I'm now 2/3 of the way of becoming one. I'd say the bar in La Paz was better however there is a great vibe here and it's very enjoyable. Pretty much all gringo bar staff, looked easy enough to get a job there so consider it- looked good fun. Rooms good size as a the comfortable beds. Hot showers. The guy that works behind reception who wears a Metalica top is great, always smiling and so useful. WR needs to work on its Internet though!

Nice hostel, the beds are fine and the drinks are cheap. You must enjoy party 'cause you might be awake at night hearing "freee shooooots!". Great.

Noise can be an issue as the place attracts a somewhat inconsiderate clientele. But if you don't mind this, it is a great place to stay. Setup is unique and very socially oriented.

If you want to live in a bar, great! The atmosphere in the bar was nice, it's a real party hostel. Probably because of the non-stop party, the place is not clean and very noisy. It seems I actually had bedbugs in my dorm bed. Even though checkout is at 13h, the cleaning staff doesn't care if you're sleeping when they come clean the dorms at 9 in the morning. The party was good but I wouldn't go back.

Large party hostel. At times it felt like a bar with a hostel, not a hostel with a bar. Everything here revolves around partying. Great which if like me you wanted to party hard. Probably best avoided if you want a quieter experience. On-site travel company very unhelpful. I wanted to book a tour and they could barley give me any info, ended up using a company in the square. Staff were brilliant. Decent food at the bar.

Best thing about the Rover, other than its great parties, is the exceptionally friendly staff, particularly those working behind the bar. You'll soon be on first-name terms and they'll happily share a game of pool, table-football, or a round of shots with you.

Excellent hostel for young people. A little bit noisy, but an excellent option for Cusco. The staff is really oriented to solve travelers problems. Cool place, cool stuff!

You can say what you wan´t, it is a party hostel. If you are there before or after your trip to Machu Picchu it is lovely and the matresses garanty a good day sleep. If you want to stay longer it might not be your place as the crowd is changing often so real hostel atmossphere is only random given.

It is a party hostel, but it is also possible to relax if you get a room far from the bar.
