Great property and plenty of places to relax. The tree house was a lovely addition and it was nice having the hanging chairs around the property. I had a massage onsite and that was lovely. Food and drinks at the bar were great. Friendly staff.

I had a great time. I felt very safe as a female solo travller. Kind of wish they had a self service laundry room. The food and Pisco sour in the onsite restaurant was delicious.

The accomodation is super clean and lovely. Theres a bar, pool and restaurant with loads of options and breakfast. We booked a few tours through the agency here and it was fantastic, super easy and the tours were great. The room was clean and comfortable, can be a bit loud if they have events on in the bar!

The accommodation delivered on everything it promised. The staff was very friendly and all the services worked properly. The only area for improvement would be that the beds could be a bit more comfortable. Overall, a satisfying experience. We will definitely be back on a future visit!

The property itself it's nice. Pool and garden, restaurant and yoga deck too. However, there are two massive downsides the rooms have mold that affected my immune system and also the rooms are not soundproof so you can hear anything at anytime. Wouldn't stay there again.

A vibey hotel/hostel in Arequipa. Short distance to most things. Big rooms, great showers, good breakfast and super staff. Only complain is that the music from the bar is really loud in to the rooms so you can't sleep early if you want to.
