Where do I start with this property? When we arrived, after travelling with another couple from Santa Cruz, the five of us were told by the owner 'I don't have any room for you, whether you have a reservation or not'. The three of us DID have a reservation but for some reason the email had not reached the hostel. Instead of apologising for this oversight and helping us to find alternative accommodation the owner proceeded to tell us that we 'definitely did not' have a reservation, and left us stranded while he assisted the other couple. After we found fantastic accommodation elsewhere in Samaipata we forwarded our booking confirmation to the owner in the hopes that he would acknowledge it and apologise for his rudeness.

Cons It's a shadow of the place it once was (judging from the photos on booking), it's no longer well-kept. The one week i was there, the floor of our room was never swept. The kitchen has old pots and dirty, unusable pans, plastic plates, and the trash is overflowing from three days of being unemptied. The toilet/bathrooms looks just like an afterthought in the building plans. Their laundry service idea is you pay for the use of washing machine only, you have to fetch your clothes from the...
