“Came for the pets, stayed for the view”
I selected the place for the animals and they didn’t disappoint! The room was comfortable, and Katy provided a simple breakfast of tea, bread, butter and jam. The view at the terrace is amazing. Very near to the terminal for Urubamba.

Lovely stay. Very helpful when I needed to leave my luggage overnight there. The room was very comfy and cosy. Breakfast was OK. I especially loved the pet dog and the owner has a very kind heart, rescuing a pony and feeding a stray dog or two. I gave 50 soles (£10) so that it could be put to food for the animals. I wish her well. The location was great and views were great too.

Katty was a great host. Gave me great local tips in terms of what to do and where to eat. Her food recommendations were the best I've had in Peru. I enjoyed chilling and chatting the evening I arrived. Being an animal lover I loved hanging out with the dog and cats. Comfy dorm bed, good shower and located central to everything in Ollantaytambo.

“Brutal”
Stayed in the Junior Suite with Balcony for 2 nights. The bedroom had lots of windows and sunlight. I found the bed to be the right firmness for me and a generous size.

Katty is a very friendly host! I totally recommend you staying in Sacred Valley and Chaska Wasi. The moment you step out of the house, you can see old Inca ruins, wow! Be aware that Katty loves animals (dogs and cats), and they are in the house too ;)

Beautiful little hostel, very well located in the heart of Ollantaytambo, close to the mercado and the Plaza de Arma. Katy the host was away when I visited in January, and Ruth, the lady who replaced her was fantastic: we had ver good conversations together, she knows the region and its attractions very well and seem always more than happy to help. The shared lounge is also comfy and ideal for socializing with other travelers.

“Friendly host, basic accommodation, great location”
We stayed for 3 nights and Katy, the host, was really friendly and helped us with all the questions we had and even brought us tea when we mentioned we were a little ill. The location is just off the main square but the area had a local feel and was quiet at night. The room had a great view of the mountains.

I love everything about this place. The location is perfect, view from room is amazing, but what is most important, is the wonderful host. Katty is amazing. Do not even book any trip via external agency, just talk to her. She is also a wonderful person to talk to

“Walking distance to everything, quiet space, caring bilingual host. Feel right at home here!”
Kathy, the host, is a literal Angel. She has the sweetest animals that made our stay feel like home; a dog & cat. The downstairs has a cozy area to hang out with couches & our private room was very clean with a very comfortable bed, abundant natural light & a magical view of the Apús & ruins. Hot water was plentiful once you figured out how to use the shower (just ask). we stayed for 5 nights & felt right at home. The location is perfect & convenient to the square, ruins, market & hiking; everything within walking distance. The train station is a 5 min taxi away. My partner had gotten sick at one point & Kathy helped me run around the market collecting things to make a soup with. She knows all the locals & knew exactly where to go & how much to pay. She even made the soup herself along with a medicinal tea to help. She’s an absolute Angel of a woman & really enjoys helping others. She speaks both Spanish & English which was also a help! Thanks for everything, Kathy!
