It was a nice place to stay, a little farther out from the center of town.
Pros:

The hotel was clean and nice, the staff was friendly and very helpful getting a taxi to the airport. Nice showers after a long hike, good coffee or tea in the morning even if the breakfast wasn't available yet.

Cons:

The doors were very thin and in the morning you could hear loudly other people getting ready. Also we had a friend stop by that had hiked with us and it was an extra 30 soles to have him take a shower in our room before he took a bus to Lima.

Pros:

Atenção dos funcionários, café da manhã pronto para tomar ou para levar para algum passeio no horário requisitado. Pontualidade.

Cons:

Chuveiro as vezes faltava água a noite, banheiro muito pequeno, espaço para o banho era minúsculo, uma pessoa com mais de 1,80 teria dificuldade de tomar banho dentro do espaço reservado.

Pros:

Zarela is the most lovely host! She helped us with everything (regarding transport, luggage storage, prepared early breakfast if we left early for trekking … ) and made us feel like home! Breakfast is great and the accommodation in general is very lovely.

Worth every penny – more than money can buy! I'll be back!
Pros:

Lovely stay in La Casa de Zarela - where Zarela will host you with all her experience from travelling around the world (she knows what you need as a traveler) and gives you a feeling of coming home because of her heartful behaviour.

Our experience in the shoulder season:
+Early check-in after arriving with night bus.
+Organizing a lot of the tours by contacting the agency and a taxi driver directly by her via the phone.
+Giving recommendations for activities (daily or multiple days).
+Spontaneous one night longer - we were in shoulder season but she was very flexible concerning our stay.
++Lovely talks with her in the evening with a delicious cup of tea.

Cons:

Sadly, she was renovating the kitchen, so we couldn't try the Thai food.

Estadia excelente, com anfitriã atenciosa, casa confortável e ótima localização.
Pros:

Zarela foi extremamente solícita e simpática durante toda a estadia. A casa é exatamente como no anúncio, limpa, confortável e bem cuidada. Um grande diferencial foi o cuidado com o café da manhã, que ela deixava preparado independentemente do horário em que sairíamos para os passeios.

Além disso, sempre nos deu ótimas dicas sobre a região, o que fez toda a diferença na experiência. Eles também oferecem serviço de lavanderia, o que é muito prático.

A localização é muito boa, com restaurantes próximos e a Plaza de Armas a cerca de 10 minutos a pé, onde há ainda mais opções. Para quem preferir, o Uber funciona muito bem na região.

Recomendo muito a estadia!

Pros:

La persona encargada de la recepción siempre fue muy amable y nos ayudó con todo lo que necesitaramos, como por ejemplo, dejar el equipaje mientras estábamos en el nevado.
El desayuno también cumplió nuestras expectativas, porque pensamos que a pesar del horario de nuestra salida (3am), no iba a haber, nos dejaron un buen desayuno para llevar.

Ideal home in Huaraz
Pros:

It was very welcoming to stay with Zarela. She is a wonderful hostess. She helped me with drivers and trek recommendations to make the most of my stay in Huaraz. We had some great conversations. It's a quiet location but close to everything in town, and the Thai restaurant is spectacular. Also a nice hot shower and lots of great common spaces.

Cons:

Everything was overall great. My only feedback is that the bed could be a little more comfortable, with some other blanket options. I was too hot under the big comforter but too cold without it.

A friendly, centric, and cozy hostel for hikers in Huaraz
Pros:

Loved my stay at Casa de Zarela. Both Zarela the owner and staff were very friendly, and Zarela was very generous in sharing information and advice about potential hikes and was often around to talk to the guests in the common area. the place had a great atmosphere, while also being quiet at night (not a party hostel). I would definitely come back.
