My husband and I, budget travellers over age 55 stayed at the Barranco Backpacker in Lima for 8 days. Peter, the business manager arranged a greeter and driver who waited an extra 45 minutes for us as we filled out lost luggage forms inside the airport and days later received our lost luggage for us. The staff were helpful and... More

Our first stop in Lima. Rooms are quiet and clean. You would prefer looking for a room in Miraflorès. The location is better and there is plenty of better offers (better rooms AND smaller prices). More

We only stayed here for 1 night as we only spent 24 hours in Lima. We hadn't heard great things from other travelers but we actually really loved it and would have liked to have stayed longer if we'd had the time. Very glad we chose to stay at Barranco Backpacker's. We received excellent maps and tips upon arrival from... More

The rest of the staff are also beautyful, very helpful and nice people. It´s... More

Needed a place for me and my gf for 12 hours after Cusco trip prior to a very early morning flight next day. Wanted simple, clean, walking distance to all the fun in Barranco AND at a reasonable cost. BBackpackers delivered on all counts. Even though my flight was delayed over an hour, the driver Chris sent was still there... More

Unlike most people this is where I landed before returning home after a great time in Peru. It was a great place, clean, hot water, and really relaxed. The staff were amazing, helpful and very kind. It was affordable ($10-$11/night for a dorm) and Barranco was a beautiful area with lots of excellent restaurants, grocery store and bank machine if... More

Really good value, hospitable environment, informative staff and clean. Fun place to stay. We were able to take a pretty good walk to Miraflores. Not necessarily a real short walk but not bad at all. Good place for young travelers. Barranco is a good place to be based out of and explore Lima without paying the ridiculous prices in Miraflores.... More
