Great family feeling
Maykquell & Gladys have created a very nice place, always welcoming and there are mkaing sure by any mean that you will have all you need. They can help you with visits, local recommandations for shops or food, and they will make sure you acclimate to the area. Confort in the rooms was great and breakfast is good.

This was our favourite hostel in Peru. We spent three nights here before heading to hike the Inca Trail. After our hike, we planned to stay in Urumbamba for one evening but decided to come back to Cusco and stay at Madre Tierra because we loved it so much. The staff were so welcoming, the room was comfortable and clean, and the hostel itself was quite homey. Janet was the sweetest - she made made us a great breakfast every morning and made sure we were warm enough. The location is also great - its out of the way of the busy main square and right in the middle of quiet San Blas. I would highly recommend this Hostel to anyone staying in Cusco.

Charming if details are overlooked (like hot water
Rogelia took great care of us and added to the charm of the place. Her breakfasts were delicious and she really tried to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The scent of a wood fire, the colorful décor, as well as the garden patio and pleasant music added to the wonderful vibe of Cusco.

We stayed just one night at this hotel and enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and helpful: making us fresh coca tea, cooking us breakfast before any other guests were awake, and arranging for a cab and laundry services. We chose this hotel because of its location in the San Blas neighborhood--it is way up there, but still only a 5-8 minute walk to the main plaza. The decor was bright and the room comfortable. Note that their credit card machine was down when we were there, so we had to run out to an ATM and take out more soles in order to pay.

Good budget boutique hotel in Cusco
I traveled with my wife and two adult children to Cusco during the holidays. We treated Cusco as our "home base" for Machu Picchu and the multiple day trips that we took and stayed at Hostal Madre Tierra the entire time. The hotel was great at accommodating our schedule and our demands. My son ended up getting food poisoning, and we had to book a room on the spot. The hotel was flexible and very kind in helping him out. The hotel is very small-- our family shared one room for a few nights, which consisted of single beds packed together (although the view in the top room was amazing!). The staff also doesn't speak English very well. Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay.

Awesome
Very nice & the staff were exceptional. On New Years the staff provided champagne & had fireworks for us. Breakfast in the mornings was excellent. Strongly recommended. Initially location seemed sketchy but that's just Cusco in general.

4/10 Fair

Sin agua caliente para ducharse.
El hostal es pequeño (solo 7 habitaciones), tranquilo, con una decoración ecléctica (un poco cargada) pero que se ve bien. No tiene TV, lo cual en estos días como que se extraña un poco, sobre todo porque ayuda a relajarnos de un ajetreado día. Las habitaciones pequeñas, pero suficientes para una noche. Pero, NO había agua caliente para ducharse, como salíamos a las 6 de la mañana, no es agradable tomar una ducha con agua FRIA a las 5 A.M. El empleado encargado, amable y servicial.

Simple hotel
This hotel is located in the lovely and quaint San Blas neighborhood. The hotel is very simple. We stayed there for 2 nights before Machu Picchu and one night after. At that point, we were ready for a little more luxury and we moved. We had to leave our luggage there twice and it was very safely guarded. The hotel is very reasonably priced, but the staff is very young.

Charming Hostel
Hostel Madre Tierra felt like our home away from home while staying in Cusco. The setting was very charming, and the staff was welcoming and helpful. The rooms were great, one with an amazing view of the city, another with an in suite jacuzzi. This was a wonderful place to stay. Would highly recommend!
