Bothy hostel in Arequipa is definitely one of the best hostels I've stayed in in the world, especially if you rate the hostels by the staff, they are all just incredible! The hostel is always fairly tidy, is at a good location, has a nice atmosphere and everything you might possibly need, with a movie room, (sports)bar(!), a rooftop with... More

I stayed there for some nights. Had a great time, very friendly and helpful staff. They have economical rooms for only 18 soles, and others, a bit nicer for 24. I stayed in a 18 soles one, to stay in my budget. Nice bar and every night some activity, Coctail night, jengaa night and all sorts of drinking games, and... More

Had to wear a wristband so the staff knew who to let in so there was no chance of randomers wandering in. Lots of people staying while we were there but not a particularly party atmosphere in the evenings. Rooms were pretty small but all had lockers, and there were lockable places you could charge your phone/ipod. Roof terrace with... More

I stayed in the 18 soles dorm, which they said they made "according to travelers demand". I dont think travelers asked for romos where you couldnt sleep because of the overheated and moist atmosphere, not to mention the fact of being right on top of the receptions, without doors. So you could hear everything happening down there, which is especially... More

I was meeting up with friends who had been chatting to the breakfast chef at Bothy. He, Mizshael, invited us... More

I stayed 2 nights in a 4bed dorm upstairs. the room was clean and had lockers inside. The staff - Monica, Karen and Raoul - are just great and lovely. The location is perfect. the bathroom I felt was a bit old and the shower just okay, you will get hot water after about 2 Minutes. Breakfast is included in... More

We arrived in Arequipa and heard of people that bothy hostal was supposed to be good. And indeed it was! The people really helped us a lot with planning trips and giving advice on where to eat and go. I want to thank Misael in person for helping us arrange our bustrips! The rooms were really clean and if asked... More
