The owners left their children in charge and they were rude and inconsiderate to a point that we couldn't believe! There was no transportation service to our bus as advertised, and the hostal is far from EVERYTHING so we couldn't even get a cab from the road without walking in the pouring rain up three flights of stairs and then...

My wife and I stayed at the Annex of Caroline Lodging for the past 5 months. The Annex is a separate building just around the corner from the main hostel, and it is run by Caroline (the daughter of the couple who run the main hostel) and Rex (her Dutch husband). The Annex has free wifi, hot water, sinks for... More

We stayed at Caroline Lodging for four nights and really enjoyed it: sunny terrace with a great view, friendly staff, good breakfast, clean room.

We stayed at Caroline Lodge in October 2011. The girls at the front desk were rude and unhelpful. We did the Santa Cruz trek and left our money and passports in their safe. BIG mistake. We had US$600 cash exchanged for false bills. Unfortunately we did not realise this until we left Huaraz, so were not able to do anything... More

Upon arrival, they require that they hold on to your actual passport (not a copy) or 100 soles as a deposit. This was the first thing that made us uncomfortable, but we shelled over the hundred. The beds were not made daily, the room was not cleaned, the bathroom trash was not even emptied, the kitchen was filthy, and you... More

We have met people that liked staying there but this was our experience: We were thrown out of the hostel after being treated like crap. We had laundry done and got one glove back. They refused to go look for it saying that we were accusing them of stealing it. After looking for it ourselves we found it in their... More

Not bad, but you can probably do better- and for cheaper! The owners seem a bit tight as they ask for extra money for most things- if you have checked out you must pay to use the shower you have been using. I have stayed in much friendlier places in Peru and this didn't meet my expectations. Also kept waiting... More

I regret I did not read more reviews in English and Spanish about this hostel before booking it. While checking in, Rex, one of the owners, requested my passport, a regular routine at every hostel. Just differently from all other hotels in the world he refused to give it back!! He said it should stay with him (in his pocket)... More
