Hotel Wiñay Pacha Inn

Very big rooms, very helpful staff. Andres was the loveliest man. Quiet, good hot shower

There was no hot water in the morning for a shower

The owner is extremely friendly, you feel like you're at home. The place is very quiet and peaceful, the views of the surrounding countryside, farmland, and the lake are amazing.

This isn't a complaint, this is advice for others staying here. The property is about 15 minutes outside of the main city, but local transportation can get you there, vans go starting 5am until late. At the time that we stayed here, February 2024, it cost us about 2 to 3 soles per person to do this ride. Advice for others who are going to stay here, look for vans ("combi" is the local name) that are labeled "Chucuito," other vans don't go far enough and you'll have to walk a while to get here. If you're catching a van into the city, walk down to the main road and within 15 minutes or so you will find a van. Just wave your arms and flag down vans. If you're trying to get to the property from the city, there is an interurban van area where there are lots of shared vans going to different areas. The interurban station is about 5 or 10 minutes walk south of the port, just ask locals ("donde está la estación interurban para combis?"), people are helpful. It is possible to take a taxi from the city to the property but you will pay between 20 and 30 soles. Because the property is a little far from the city, you will not find taxis to bring you into the city, so you need to keep this information in mind and use the shared vans.

The host / owner was super friendly and helpful, and warned up about upcoming blockades on the road. He was accommodating towards our need to leave super early to try and beat the blockades (we failed, but wasn't on him). Rooms were enormous, and dinner and breakfast can both be had here. I loved the super hard beds but they won't be for everyone.

Spotty internet and there's not really much around the area.

Wonderful, kind and interesting host Pacha, with whom we had great conversations over the meals. Huge lovely rooms, full of indigenous textiles. Huge comfortable beds. Absolutely marvelous whereabouts - the hostel is surrounded by hills and meadows + has a brilliant view on the lake. Very tasty and healthy meals. Lots of common areas, enormous eating hall and nice big shared room to read/work/workout, with a lake view. We absolutely loved our stay there, it was very peaceful, relaxing and warm - we instantly felt at home. Thank you so much!

No windows in the rooms. Very weak shower pressure.

didn’t get in no one was there

Really interesting place. Location away from the city center, where it is easy to park a rental car, and enjoy some quietness. Price-quality this is really amazing, ie simple but ok breakfast and dinner included in price, and coffee+tea available at any time of the day. Interesting host, who is very spiritual, can tell interesting stories, is very helpful at any time when you need him. Host can arrange for the tours in the region (no need to go find and seek trips in Puno centre).

Poor Wif-fi, cold water in shower (a common issue in many places in Peru- but you can probably solve by asking the host, but we did not bother). When we traveled, the guest house was rather empty. it would have been nicer to see some more guests.
