Reviews for Kokopelli Hostel Paracas
Review 1：Breakfast, old bread and cold Coffee in plastic cups, why bother? We went out , for 10 soles fresh juice, rolls, eggs and hot Coffee, no contest
Review 2：Great location, chilled out bar area to make lots of new friends, pool big enough to cool down in and all really clean
Review 3：Too much of a party hostel for us with loud music until 2am even while private rooms are further away from the bar, it was still noisy.
Review 4：Location is good, can walk to the beach from back gate. The beach is not really good for swimming but nice for walks, etc Staff speak English. Water is good pressure and hot.
Review 5：There was only 3 toilets for everyone, bar service was slow, breakfast basic
Review 6：We had a cute little room away from the bar with a comfy bed. Pool seemed clean. It was right on the beach.
Review 7：This was a very good hostel. Very nice staff, comfortable etc, etc. However the sleeping quarters are right beside the bar, or most of them. I needed to sleep for the jet lag etc but this was impossible with the late night party scene. If you want a bit of quiet go elsewhere. And other places are much cheaper.
Review 8：Not a bad thing for us, but mainly young people staying there.
Review 9：Very friendly staff who spoke good English. Lovely pool to sit by and bar area with table tennis, pool table etc.
Review 10：Breakfast means bread + marmalade (you can ask for eggs or fruit paying extra) Quite noisy for a night because of music from a bar Small, basic room with an external bathroom... but ok, it’s a backpackers' hostel ;)
Review 11：Swimming pool Cool bar with a direct beach exit
Review 12：Breakfast very basic unless you pay extra for eggs / fruit It feels more like being in the USA then in Peru.
Review 13：Clean room, good size Nice outside area with bar, hammocks, pool, pingpong table, ... Staff were Americans so English was no problem
Review 14：The room smelled so strongly of air freshner that I couldn't stay in the room for more than a minute. Had to have housekeeping resolve the issue before I could use the room. Opening the window didn't do anything for it either. Bed for 2 was so small as was the room. Glad we only stayed one night.
Review 15：I liked the location. It is right on the edge of the heart of town.
Review 16：There was no running water the first evening, not possible to take a shower, wash hands or flush the toilet, very loud around 2-3 am when drunk people come back from the hostel bar; the receptionist accepted to keep my valuables (passport and credit cards) only to leave them in an opened drawer for anyone to take (I took it back when I noticed it and nobody bothered that it was gone), the beach front location could be an adventage but the hostel is separated from the beach by a high fence with high gate which is locked most of the time so you can't see nor access the sea
Review 17：The Swimming pool
Review 18：Staff could have been a bit more helpful.
Review 19：Pretty standard chain hostel, good lockers in dorm, wifi mostly working, nice big communal areas. Really cool bar out the back right on the shore. Their bike hire was a little expensive but the bike was good. Breakfast was nice because you could pay a little more and get eggs or avocado as well as the usual coffee and bread rolls.
Review 20：Breakfast was not great.
Review 21：Kokopelli is really a great looking hostel. It seems a bit like a place for surfers. It has a very relaxing atmosphere. There's a big garden with a bar, pool table and more of that stuff. Even a big swimming pool. Rooms are great as well.
Review 22：On weekends the bar is open until the early morning and full with locals. So if you are looking for a place to have a calm sleep it might be hard. If you would like to meet people and party its the perfect place!
Review 23：Great location, pool, bike rental
Review 24：staff wasnt helpful, no laundry service and none around the city, no breakfast besides full of meat, really loud at night and most of day, pool area crowded, no pleasent for people whom like to do other things besides drink all day
Review 25：Private double and private bath: - good bed and wifi
Review 26：No real complaints. It was not hot when I was there but when there is you might miss not having AC.
Review 27：Right by the beach, common areas inside and outside are huge. The bathroom in the dorm was fairly clean and there was hot water. Staff was knowledgeable.
Review 28：Breakfast could have been better..and the ladies at the reception could have been friendlier.
Review 29：Located right at the beach, they have a nice outside area with hammocks, a pool, a bar, there's a common kitchen. I loved the cosy common area where you could watch movies! Backpacker-atmosphere..
Review 30：Private shower didn't smell great.
Review 31：Amazing setting, good beach break if you're doing a longer travel trip. Bar and social area was fun with decent drink prices. We had a basic, private room overlooking the pool, which was great and couldn't hear the noise of the bar. Staff organised our Ballesta Islands tour very last minute and with no problems - cheaper than other companies were offering. Really enjoyed our stay here, it was very easy and laid back.
Review 32：-sometimes no/only cold water -underneath mattresses dirty
Review 33：-directly at the beach -great bar with happy hour specials -nice international young staff -hammocks -good wifi -not far to the center -20% off for Peru Hop customers
Review 34：Some of the staff was not very friendly or helpful. It was a little confusing to book tours through the hostel - it might be better to use a tour agency in town.
Review 35：The private room was very comfortable. The pool and bar areas are very relaxing.
Review 36：Too many people for me. Computers were really slow and WiFi was unreliable but typical.
Review 37：Great place to stay if you want to party and meet lots of people. Facilities are awesome for a hostel. Its like a cheap Mexican resort. International staff that all speak English. Free kayaks, bar all day and cafe\snack bar in the evening.
Review 38：- breakfast - sometime it might be too loud during the night but it wasn't an issue in our case
Review 39：- young people - party - pool - good location at the beach - nice paintings on the walls - very nice place overall
Review 40：The breakfast was awful, so awful in fact that we went elsewhere. Very disorganised and very unhelpful breakfast staff.
Review 41：The hostel is right on the beach and certainly has a lot if activities for guests. Relaxed atmosphere.
Review 42：No electricity or running water on the last day. This was a town wide problem but we didn't learn about it until it was too late
Review 43：Beds were very comfortable (duvets!) and I really enjoyed the pool
Review 44：No wifi in the room but it was no big deal
Review 45：The hostel is situated right on the beach, there is a pool, the breakfast is simple but really good. They organise cheap and great trips to the Islands and the reserve
Review 46：- breakfest serving was very unproffesional - the breakfest staff was very slow (it was served from 7;00 am, we got to a place at 7:15 and there was still no bread, they also were just fetching the eggs. Normally it is not a problem, but when you have a boat trip booked it is iritating. I think breakfests are the only problem in Kokopelli hostal in Paracas.
Review 47：- free wifi and additionally normal computers with internet free to use (rare in hostels in Peru) - perfect location (just near the beach as well as near to main walk, plenty of restaurants nearby) - very helpful, nice and good english speaking staff (as I wrote I will be travelling with my wife as a honeymoon we were served a welcome glass of wine - very nice - thank you!) - nice breakfest eating place (outside, near the beach) - no need to stay in Pisco or Ica - in Paracas is perfect location! One can find everything here!
Review 48：The dorm rooms are alongside the bar/courtyard area, which plays loud music at all hours of the day. I stayed for two nights and one night the bar closed by midnight, so it was fine. Another night, a Sunday, the bar stayed open til almost 2, so it was hard to sleep since the walls pretty much did nothing. Also, there was one bathroom for the 14 beds in the dorm.
Review 49：Wifi was strong. It's on the beach, which is lovely. Staff is super friendly.
Review 50：Kitchen unreliable - eat lunch and dinner elsewhere! The 14 bed dorm is right by the bar area - if you're a light sleeper and need an early night then bring earplugs! The other rooms are located near the pool which is quieter.
Review 51：Fab location right on the beach, comfy beds, great pool and pool area, free kayaks, great brekkie!
Review 52：Wifi only worked in certain areas. Loud music playing late
Review 53：Fresh breakfast with coffee and tea, fruit smoothies. They helped us book our tours to the island and national park
Review 54：We found a small spider inside the sheets of the bed.
Review 55：They gave us a double room with private bathroom, even if we have booked a room with shared one, at the same price.
Review 56：From the outside, I thought it was all closed up and out of business, but once they opened the door, everything was great. Great value for the money, and just like 100 yards from the main drag in Paracas with multiple restaurant's to choose from
Review 57：It was really a comfortable stay. Very clean bathroom and room. Bed was awesome!
Review 58：poor breakfast;
Review 59：very friendly staff who spoke good English; hot water; good wifi

Review 75：Not giving full detail of extra charges for events that you pay for ! That was quite annoying !
Review 76：Location , good storage , good size rooms , good beds and a decent breakfast .
Review 77：Dorm room was over crowded - there were people sharing beds in our room which is unacceptable when others in the dorm have paid per bed!
Review 78：Location on the beach was good.
Review 79：Nothing.
Review 80：Excellent location right on the beach and 10 min walk from Cruz del Sur bus depot. Very helpful reception staff who spoke excellent English and helped us book a tour to the Ballestas Islands and Paracas Reserve.
Review 81：There were only a few things in the kitchen like forks, knifs, pans.. and in the end, the cooker diden´t work. The hostel is more a party place in the night and the music from the bar is loud sometimes until 2am. They cleaned our little room one time in 8 days.
Review 82：Rooms and bathrooms were clean, the pool was great, the hostel is close to the center, the breakfast was nice and the offer from the restaurant in the evening was worth the price!!
Review 83：Beach in front of the Property was not so great, seaweed and a lot of litter which could have been picked up. But you can walk down a bit and beach is a little better. Breakfast was just ok, no juice, only eggs and bread and instant coffee or tea.
Review 84：Friendly island vibe felt like the Caribbean staff very helpful and friendly. Fr an extra 3 soles the staff will make fresh brewed coffee free refill worth the few soles. Thanks. Luggage storage and full use of facilities which waiting for bus etc this is great. Very close to he main square and restaurants etc.
Review 85：wi-fi only at the bar-restaurant. although the hostel amenities are very clean, but the nearby territory including the beach need paying attention to.
Review 86：very nice and cosy hostel right on the beach, perfect location to go on Ballestas tour in the morning, staff is very friendly and can help to book a tour. I guess it can get loud at night on weekends with disco till 1 am, but we stayed on Monday and it was quiet, we slept perfectly well
Review 87：1. Too few bathroom facilities, cleanliness not good enough--staff would spray room deodoriser to make it "feel" cleaner than it was, including in the kitchen! Those sprays are toxic and can trigger allergic reactions, of which they seemed to be unaware... 2. See kayaks missing seats.
Review 88：1. Very friendly and helpful staff, including online! 2. Great facilities (swimming pool, pool table, foosball, bar, sea kayaks) and services (breakfast, local information), very comfortable beds.
Review 89：The staff really makes Kokopelli a wonderful place to stay. The guys at the reception, the bar tenders, the restaurant (delicious food!), and everybody that works there cleaning, doing the laundry, watching the beach, all of them were very talkative and made my staying really fun!
Review 90：Bathroom floor is very slippery when wet.
Review 91：Great location, near restaurants and shops. Very nice beach. Good restaurant and bar. Staff is very helpful. Rooms large and very clean. Nice pool.
Review 92：The town only gets water for three hours a day so second day no showers or working toilets were available. Also left a very fowl smell throughout the hostel which indeed shortened our planned stay.
Review 93：Great atmosphere and the hostel was one of the best qualities I have seen including relaxation space and bed quality.
Review 94：Staff were lovely, helped book reasonably priced tours and even helped me with my next hostel. Its right on the beach and there are free kayaks that you can take out on the sea! It is a bit of a party hostel...dont stay if youre planning to sleep before 1am as it can get loud.
Review 95：Breakfast - cold eggs served from a plastic bowl and bread with ants
Review 96：Vibes
