About

Backpacker La Bo'M

Backpacker La Bo'M sits in San Blas, Cusco's artisan quarter, a 13-minute walk from Museo Maximo Laura and a short stroll from Mercado Central de San Pedro. The 14-room property wraps a garden, terrace, and shared lounge around a homely, art-filled vibe.

Guests gather around the fireplace, sip unlimited coca tea, and tuck into breakfast crepes. The staff — repeatedly praised in reviews — arrange tours, organize bonfires, and go out of their way for families and pets.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Standout staff — Guests repeatedly describe the team as helpful, attentive, and genuinely friendly, whether organizing bonfires, accommodating service dogs, or just offering guidance around town.
  • Warm, homely atmosphere — Art-filled spaces, a fireplace in the communal area, gardens, and cozy lounges create a lived-in feel that guests call 'like home'.
  • Breakfast that's a highlight — Fresh crepes, pancakes, tea, and breads earn enthusiastic mentions from guests.
  • Prime location — In San Blas, the bohemian heart of Cusco, minutes from shops, restaurants, and the central market, yet set in the hills above the city.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several room types, including the double, use shared facilities — a consideration if you prefer en-suite.
  • No on-site parking — With no parking listed, you'll likely rely on walking or taxis in Cusco's narrow streets.
  • No pets allowed — While one guest with a service dog was accommodated, the general policy excludes pets.
  • Compact property — With just 14 rooms, availability can be limited, and the intimate scale may not suit those wanting larger hotel facilities.
