Uros Titicaca Lodge

Everything! Beautiful view, exceptional room, smooth transfer, Carlos is superb host even bought us a hot water bottle, nice touch

Carlos took care of everything from start to the finish.. he had us picked from the Peru Hop stop in a taxi to the port.. from the port boat took us to the lodge and the same on the way back. He even gave us a Uros island tour and prepared a fully vegetarian dinner for us. He speaks perfect English and that was a super big help, especially when we were staying away from the city.

The most comfiest bed we have slept in while. Very helpful host.

The owner's family and the whole service is 10/10. Communication was very good, at least two days before our arrival, Carl's family took great care to make sure everything went smoothly and that our trip was memorable. If you need anything or have any requests, just say so and Carl will help as best he can. I am very happy with my stay, thank you.

These homes are owned by local families. It was wonderful to stay in an authentic floating reed home. We had our 2 kids (12 and 14) travel with us and we loved it. The location is rustic and homey. The families cooked us breakfast (included) and dinner. Electricity is generated via solar panels, so you need to ready for it. The family also took us for boat tours of the local village - it was charming and a chance to learn truly about local life. We HIGHLY recommend it - it is an opportunity to travel and support local families.

Beautiful room with stunning views of Lake Titikaka! Carlos and his family are very friendly, and keep their property very nice and tidy. The glass ceiling in the room and deck provide a unique stargazing experience at night time. Dinner was delicious, I left in the early morning so couldn’t try the breakfast which is available after 7am. Overall a magical stay!

Amazing stay Carlos and family are so lovely Views are unbelievable Super super relaxing

Food and drink was a little limited if you want beers/snacks bring your own

The room itself was beautiful. Big wall-length window giving to the lake Titicaca. A small private terrace with a lovely bed and chairs. The seating area in the room was fantastic. Also, there was a gas heating for the cold nights. Nevertheless, the overall impression was not that fantastic. We stayed 2 nights as per recommendation of the owners. And we knew that it's an island which per se limits the activities but still, it was subpar. We had a great time, children are small so we took it easy and liked to have a lot of time to play, but yeah, expected something a bit more cultural and cultured (for details, see the negative box). the other positive is the free hot water - both to drink and in the evening to sleep in the hot bottles for your bed. They keep warm until the morning, it's a nice touch. We took a ride to open lake (that was paid extra, no problem, agreed in advance) and shown how the straw was collected. Very nice. Also, every morning there is a boat with supplies stopping by, like a small shop with food and sweets.

First of all, the breakfast. We agreed with one of the owners to have the breakfast at 7am. Nothing was happening at 7:20am, so we found the father-owner and he told us the breakfast is at 8am. Which gives to the second big con (negative) - the communication between the owners. We agreed on something with one of them (i assume it's a father-son?) and the information ends there. There is no information flow between the two. The breakfast, the program, the activities... The list goes on. the breakfast is the standard peruvian fare, an egg, some bread, jam, coffee. Also, the "culture" program they promised consisted of bringing us to other little islands where local family heads would tell us something about the island (3-5 minutes) and then sell us their stuff. Which we wanted to buy, yes, but a little more of traditions and insight would be nice. We also wanted to go to a classic totoro boat ride, which they promised but instead they brought us to someone with a yellow plastic ugly boat who overcharged us and it was and ugly tourist rip off. Left a bad taste in our mouth. In general, the owners are friendly and caring but a bit more care of their island would be welcome (it's rundown and dirty) and a more of a culture, traditions and insight into the life would be welcome, instead of just flashy touristy ripoffs.
