Guest Reviews
- Francesco (10/5): -
- Dan (10/5): Feels like home - Awesome location right on the Salkantay trail. The beds were very comfortable with a spacious room and a lovely view over the valley. Meals were great with take away sandwiches available for the next day. A briefing for the next days trail was given to help us prepare. We enjoyed staying here after a big day 2 on our trek. Nothing
- stacie (9/5): Sweet host - Great views good was amazing!!
- Sean (10/5): Lovely cozy lodge - Loved everything about our stay - our room, our super friendly and helpful hosts, having dinner as a group with all the other guests and meeting again for breakfast in the morning. If Chaullay is on your list of stops for the Salkantay, I wholeheartedly recommend a stay here.
- Rebeca (9/5): - La habitación es hermosa, con vistas muy bonitas. Ubicado en Chaullay a lo largo del camino del trekking Salkantay. Ducha caliente, cama cómoda ,desayuno y cena deliciosos. Personal amable y dispuesto a ayudar.

Absolute Empfehlung und top gelegen, direkt am Beginn des Dorfes und am Ende des Trails.
- Lara (8/5): Super familiär und perfekt für einen Zwischenstopp auf dem Salkatay Trek - Das Personal war super lieb und hat uns bei allem geholfen und das Zimmer war geräumig mit Dusche und Klo getrennt. Frühstück gab es um 6:30, was auch sehr gut und für uns vegan gemacht wurde, genau wie das Abendessen. Der Fluss könnte für leichte Schläfer zu laut sein.

Manuel nos dio muchas indicaciones para el camino y se aseguró de que todo estuviese bien y de que estuviésemos lo más cómodos posibles.
- kate (10/5): - Manuel and his family made us right at home. We stayed here end of October 2025, doing the Salkantay trek solo as a group of 5. We are so glad we chose this hostel. The dinner was so delicious as was the breakfast. Manuel personally gave us a fantastic overview of the hike ahead of us as well as great local recommendations.

- Hannah (10/5): Perfect stay for your second night on the Salkantay Trek! - Manuel and his family were very hospitable and made sure we were comfortable from the very first moment. The room was spacious and full of wooden, handmade items. The shower was sooo perfectly hot.

Thank you!

Man hat einen schönen Blick über das Tal und kann sich gut von dem langen, zweiten Tag erholen -

But what truly made our stay special was Manuel, who welcomed us so warmly and took the time to guide us through the details of the trek. Without his help, we surely would have taken the wrong path!
Thank you, Manuel, for your kindness and generosity, you made our experience unforgettable. ❤️
- Bryan (10/5): Best place to stay after hiking the salkantay pass - Amazing hostel in Chaulley - perfect base after hiking over the salkantay pass. Lovely host who cooked us a very tasty dinner (small additional cost) and breakfast, as well as explaining the route for the following day. Very comfy bed and hot showers (which run on gas so even though the electricity was off in the village when we arrived, we could still have a hot shower). Host gave us a hot water bottle each which made sure we were warm overnight. Nothing
- Natalia (8/5): Muy recomendable - Nos gusto mucho la ubicación y la naturaleza que rodea el hostel. Ducha caliente y la comida rica. Incómodo el colchón y es algo desagradable comer al aire libre cuando hace frío.
- Esther (10/5): - Fantastic meals here (dinner was a little extra) room included a private bathroom with hot shower. Very quiet and cozy stop for trekking. Definitely recommend.
- Tricia (10/5): - The food was really nice and the host was great.

Pedimos cena en el alojamiento y la comida estaba buena a un precio razonable.
Buen alojamiento de paso con todo lo necesario. La puerta de la habitación no sellaba bien y entraba el frío.

- Sophia (10/5): Schöne Unterkunft - Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, besonders das eigene Bad mit warmen Wasser ist nach der langen Wanderung ein Traum.
Das Essen war auch sehr lecker und liebevoll zubereitet und auf Nachfrage gab es sogar eine vegane Option.
Manuel ist super hilfreich bei allen Fragen, was zum Beispiel die Weiterreise betrifft.
Vielen Dank 😊
