Kaclla, The Healing Dog Hostel

Good-looking interior and house, there's no doubt about it. Though, received impolitely, after my bankcard's chip didn't work I had to sort out Western Union. But was nearly asked to leave because they needed payment in five minutes. That is not my kind of reception. As such, maybe find a better receptionist. As if talking to a toddler and generally not a very welcoming environment except for a few kind travelers I met. Would not recommend if you value not being micromanaged in a hostel without not understanding hostel rules, that's beyond the point. General politeness is what I'm talking about. Oh and the dog, though the place carries 'healing' in its name, that of dog doesn't allow for much healing. Learn to improve. Thanks!

Kaclla was "home" during my time in Lima. First I started in a private room, very nice to rest after some days on the road. On a second opportunity, I went to the shared dorms which were also very convenient. The common area is well organized and clean. The same goes for the bathroom and kitchen. Breakfast offered is delicious and totally worth it. They can support you with basically everything you need. Airport transfer is highly recommended! Only 20 soles for door to door service. It is perfectly located. Near enough from central Miraflores square and far from street noise and rush. You can walk up and down everywhere. Grateful for the joyful time staying here.

This was my first stop in Peru and the hostel was great. The staff are very kind and always there to help. The place has a nice chill vibe with really cool eclectic decor. The courtyard was beautiful and there are other comfortable areas to chill. The place has a nice open-air design to it. I felt very safe with the locked gate and 24 hour reception. The location itself is very close to a lot of cool stuff to do around Miraflores. Everything you could possibly need is nearby in walking distance. I had a private room and it was small and simple but very comfortable, great value for the price but it’s nothing fancy. They also have a nice shared kitchen to use which I didn’t really use much because there are so many nice restaurants around. They also offer breakfast, and lunch with some delicious well priced vegetarian options and juices. Definitely recommend this place!

I've been traveling for long time, but I never had such a delicious, nutritious breakfast included! Besides that, the location is excellent! I stayed in one of the shared dorms in the other building, which has a kitchen and a cute rooftop. The only little downside is the street noise.

Gorgeous in appearance, lacking in personality. My girlfriend and I were greeted rudely at the front desk when we asked if they spoke English. It would have been no problem if not , but we received a blank stare and no answer instead. Treatment like this continued for every other interaction we had. This would otherwise be a five star review for location and design alone. This isn’t the only review of its type. If you really wanna relax think twice.

Decent hostel for the price; rooms are fine, breakfast is good, and the common areas are cozy. Still, a few things put me off: - Staff (except the kitchen) aren’t very friendly - The “healing” dog isn’t exactly chill; barks, growls, and seems a bit aggressive - Dorms sometimes smell like pee (probably the dog) - Mattress was a bit worn out Biggest issue: even as a guest, they charge $5 USD per person to store your bags for just an afternoon. Doesn’t feel very guest-friendly in my opinion…

Very good hostel—clean toilets and bathrooms, with toilet paper and paper towels provided. Everything was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only downside was that they charge 15 soles to store your luggage on the last day. Still, it was a great experience overall. Highly recommend!

The hostel ist very central, clean and beautiful. The Service was quiet strict, they were not friendly when i entered the kittchen 2 minutes after it was closed at 9 pm to get some water. You are charged, if you want to shower or use the kittchen after the checkout. The common rooms are small, regarding the number of people staying, so its not really a social vibe. The healing dog was always barking at me and pissed at our door, so wasn't that much of a healing experience. Would still recommend, if you are just looking for a beautiful and central room in Miraflores.
