Guest Reviews

• Yasmin (10/5): Incredible place, very comfortable - Incredible experience. Bed was comfy equipped with mosquito net and cabins were clean and surprisingly bug free. Staff were friendly and the lodge is stunning. Our guide Carlos was brilliant. A truly magical experience and seamless from start to finish, would absolutely recommend Amak. The food was good but as a vegetarian i had to explain this a few times when they gave me meat after which they served me vegetarian food apart from one night where i was served fried rice full of tiny bits of sausage that i had to pick around.
• Artūras (8/5): -
• laysa (9/5): Bello conexión total con la naturaleza - La hospitalidad de la gente que trabaja ahí es espectacular, los guías Helbert, Carlos, Mamerto unos capos, realmente vives el tema de la naturaleza. Nos encanto!
• Efe (7/5): - Calisanlar cok iyidi, konumu dogasi muhtesemdi Az musteri oldugunda personel de az ve otel korkutucu hale geldi. Uyandigimda klosette kurbaha vardi kloset borusundan geliyormus, bir ingiliz coftinde odasinda iki gundur ayni sorun varmis sisteme bir cekvalf taksalar ordan gelemez. Akan su amazan suuunun renginde dus almak vs imkansiz. Yemek sonucta az musterinolunca ne piserse o, guzel Bir deneyimdi ama daha tesis olmasina cok var
• ANA (9/5): Hotel muy especial - La exclusividad del sitio. Todo super bien organizado.
• Sergio (10/5): Increible! - El trabajo del equipo es excellent. Mamerto, Julio el Chef the panama son increibles. La comida es deliciona con un sabor selvatico, las excurciones son autenticas y muy relajadas. IMPORTANTE! LLEVAR elementos que pueden servir a las tribus que se visitan como cuadernos, lapiceras remedios y todo lo que nos parezca util para gente que vive en la selva. Una experience recomendable para los amantes de la Naturaleza Los tiempos en la Selva son mas relajados, hay que saber tener pasciencia
• Groce (10/5): Food was delicious and the staff was super friendly - I love the location .
• Jaime (10/5): - Las cabañas aisladas en la selva, es como dormir en una nube en medio de la selva. La comida riquísima. El personal muy profesional. La información previa de las actividades que se realizan es muy escueta. Hay que hacer el pago por adelantado y fuera de la plataforma de Booking.
• Laura (10/5): -
• Ludwig (9/5): Very relaxing and very informative guides to explain how things work in the Amazon. - Very relaxing environment… excellent food Was a bit dark on the way back to the accommodation if you forgot your torch. But there was always someone to lend you one…
• Matthew (7/5): A rustic experience of a lifetime, but improvements are needed - The staff and guides were so incredibly kind and accommodating. The excursions were very fun and interesting. We had so many fun experiences—fishing, monkeys, sloths, trees, giant lily pads, native communities. And the food is delicious! It was the trip of a lifetime, truly. This is a rustic remote location and people seem to understand that. But there are still some reasonable suggestions we had for improvement: 1. Our cabin didn't have a toilet seat. That's unacceptable. 2. The cabins don't have fans. The heat is sweltering and makes it difficult to sleep. Upgraded solar panels would allow all-night electricity for a bedroom fan. 3. Meals are very far apart from one another, and there are no snacks. 4. This was billed as an all-inclusive, but then beer and soda were extra. 5. We understood having to pay extra for a private boat, but the costs were insanely expensive. 6. There were many hours of the day without activity. The common spaces didn't have activities, and there was only 2 guided tours each day. 7. The hotel didn't have anything for sale. Not shirts or hats or sunscreen or bug spray.
• Yesica (6/5): - Me pareció la comida exquisita, muy sabrosa. Los guías tanto Carlos como Mamerto muy amables y atentos. Gelbert el encargado de la atención a los huéspedes en Ämak es muy simpático y servicial. Las actividades me resultaron poco interesantes, porque no se tenía en cuenta el clima para optimizar el aprovechamiento de la actividad. Sino que todo ya está organizado sin opciones de cambios. Las lanchas con las que nos transportamos por el río son ruidosas y eclipsan la experiencia de navegar por el Amazonas disfrutando del maravilloso entorno.
• Tinka (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay a lot. It is undescribable to fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of the jungle. The cabanas are basic, but clean. You are in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, so don't be picky and don't wonder if you have animals in the cabana. But it is a unique experience. We loved our guide Carlos, who showed us the flora and fauna and the way the Amazon people live. He has great knowledge and speaks good english. The food was delicious especially for lunch and dinner. The portions are huge. It would be great to have more vegetables and fruits for breakfast, especially if you are not used to eat eggs and bacon for breakfast, since that was our breakfast on all 3 mornings.
• Elske (8/5): Lovely stay, say a lot of animals en the lodge is in the middle of nature. bring clothes that dry quick and you dont min - It is in the middle of nature, animals around the lodge (even unwanted ones like a tarantula in your lodge haha). The main lodge was built beautifully and I like that it had a "no-shoe-policy". It wasn't fully waterproof. When it rained hard, there were a lot of puddles of water on the floor and the mens toilet was flooded. So walking around on your socks was not comfortable then. In the lodge where we slept we also had some leaks, but not as much.
• Daniel (10/5): Bienvenidos al Amazonas. - Todo ha resultado excepcional: las facilidades para llegar hasta el lugar a pesar de estar bastante alejado, el recibimiento, las cabañas en las que nos alojamos eran de ensueño 100% inmersos en la naturaleza, la comida increíblemente buena y su presentación, las excursiones que realizamos fueron muy divertidas y los aprendizajes de la mano de nuestro guía Mamerto. Lo mas importante: la calidez del lugar, la calidad humana del personal, su amabilidad y su humildad, te enseñan el valor de las pequeñas cosas haciéndote sentir como uno más. Totalmente recomendable este lugar para conocer una parte del precioso río Amazonas, sus paisajes y las comunidades y personas que aun lo habitan. PD: Al ser un lugar bastante alejado de la ciudad, tienen escasos recursos por la zona por lo que si de manera altruista te apetece llevarles algún detalle, sobretodo para los niños, te llenará el corazón hacerlo, son muy agradecidos y de verdad lo merecen. No le puedo poner un solo pero al alojamiento y la experiencia.
• Lourdes (10/5): Ideal para vivir la auténtica experiencia del Amazonas y la Selva(aventura, buen comer, desconexión) - Es el lugar ideal donde disfrutar todo lo que ofrece la selva y el Amazonas, el alojamiento incluye en el precio todas las excursiones y experiencias para vivir la experiencia completa; todo ello de la mano de un guía especializado y estupendo, en nuestro caso nuestro guía fue Memerto y su aportación fue espectacular; conocimiento total del medio, muy preparado y una atención exquisita. En adicional el alojamiento incluye también todas las comidas (pensión completa) y puedes degustar las cocina típica de la zona; también hacer mención especial al chef, todo estaba espectacularmente rico, delicioso. Todo el personal, la verdad es que fue muy atento y amable y por supuesto te ayudan en todo lo que necesitas. Todo estuvo genial. .😍
• Miguel Nicolas (1/5): Ruido, obras, imposible relajarse. - Decepcionante. Ruido, obras maquinaria de construcción. No respetando ni la hora de comer Este no es tu sitio si quieres relajarte y escuchar naturaleza. Ruidos de motores, albañiles haciendo obras y por todas las instalaciones sin intimidad.. No corresponde el precio con booking y no se puede pagar allí y la plataforma además te cobra suplemento de 5%. Realizan obras de ampliación y mantenimiento durante tu estancia sin respetar lo mas mínimo el alto precio que no merece. La visita nocturna a la selva, es una vuelta al propio establecimiento con linternas para ver insectos. Engaño y falta de respeto por parte de los dueños. Te piden comprensión por las obras pero bien cobran 700 dollar por noche en cabaña familiar (familia de 4) y están pendientes de que pagues hasta la última botella de agua en todo momento. Se aleja de lo auténtico...
• Myrto (10/5): - Το κατάλυμα ήταν εξαιρετικό. Οι δραστηριότητες κάλυψαν όλες μας τις επιθυμίες. Μείναμε εκει 2 βράδια. Η καμπίνα μας ήταν πολύ καθαρή και υπήρχε ιδιωτικότητα. Εχει διαδίκτυο στον κεντρικό χώρο καθώς και πρίζες που λειτουργούν συγκεκριμένες ώρες την ημέρα. Το φαγητό ήταν εξαίρετικο και το προσωπικό πολύ φιλικό. Αν και δεν ήξεραν να μιλούν αγγλικά ήταν όλοι πολύ πρόσχαροι και εξυπηρετικοί. Ο οδηγός μας ο Carlos ήταν πολύ καταρτισμένος και ήξερε αγγλικά.
• Angel (8/5): -
• Germán (10/5): Experiencia inolvidable - La amabilidad de los guías y todo el personal del complejo fue excepcional. Las habitaciones muy adaptadas a pesar de encontrarse en el medio de la selva. Lo tiene todo para disfrutar de una experiencia 10 en la selva amazónica. La comida no estaba del todo buena…
• Marta (10/5): Experiencia extraordinaria - Todo: una experiencia inmersiva en la selva que, guiados por Mamerto, un guía excepcional, se ha convertido en uno de mis recuerdos favoritos del viaje. La cabaña, la comida, las excursiones… 3 días de no parar de aprender y dejarnos embaucar por la naturaleza en máximo apogeo. Muchísimo que agradecer a Mamerto!
• Kerem (10/5): - A true Amazon experience, Carlos is such a great guide. Amak Iquitos was so genuine that we would definitely recommend to our friends Boat services should be all day long, not just for a certain time range. If you miss those time ranges, you have to pay 167$ for one way, which is absurd.
• Maria Garrido Hernández (8/5): - La ubicación, las actividades que hacer y la experiencia completa en sí es genial. Nuestro baño tenía varias cosas que necesitaban ser arregladas y seguro que con eso la experiencia era mejor.
• gaelle (9/5): Jungle stay with additional comfort you wouldn’t expect in the jungle - I liked the little lodges, the grounds, the common area, the decent size of the property, the great food which is always a surprise and the staff. Also really enjoyed being taken care of for the 2 daily activities. Enough to do but not too much so you always have time to relax in between set activities and mealtimes. Nothing I didn’t like. I wish I’d thought of taking headlights to get back to our lodge, it gets really dark at night. The path is not lit.
• Alnasir (8/5): Good stay, with a few glitches - Food (all meals) were excellent thanks to the Panamanian Cheg. They take care of dietary restrictions. Location is very good; as expected, in the jungle. The tours they arrage are good in general; Carlos speaks english so that helps a lot. Else, you lose a lot in translation Lights were not workgin properly in our unit; they were taken care of when we let them know. Also, bed was not made up after 1st night sleep there, which it should have been by the cleaning crew. So a little disappointed that such issues should have been taken care of by staff before renting out the room. Also, the price qupyed on Booking.com is a Cash price. If you pay by Credit Card (like most people); they ADD 5% to the bill. No issues woth that, but it should have been made clear on the Booking.com price that this was a cash only price. Also, we only found 1 person there (Carlos) who spoke some english; so for non-Spanish speaking people,it may be a little challenging. But the staff does try hard
• Andreea (10/5): Exceptional - The whole experience is very well organized - from check in/ check out, transfers, experiences, meals. The stuff is very welcoming, warm, friendly and always trying to be helpful. The food was absolutely amazing! The cabañas are super comfortable and clean, the common area is very spacious and the outdoor space is a dream! Huge thanks to Julio and Mamerto for making our trip memorable. Batteries kept running out of power.l, so no lights in the morning.
• Sophie (7/5): Lovely Ecolodge where you can see what it's like to live in the jungle - The staff is lovely and they make a great effort in making the stay very enjoyable. It is jungle and when we were there it was very high water so we had to walk over makeshift bridges, which added to the adventure spirit. The lodge is not located in a nature reserve so you do not have a wildlife experience, but they do there utmost best to give you a true living in the Amazone experience. Everyday they have two excursions. We did not see much wildlife but we did see them in the rescue centers which was very interesting. One day they ran out of beer. :-)
• Rob (9/5): Superb -
• Petar (9/5): It was a great experience, special thx to Carlos (our guide). - 1. Common area is beautiful, great place to chill and listen to birds 2. Sleeping lodge - separated in the jungle, roof and two walls are practicly musquito nets so you really feel like you are sleeping in the jungle and yet you are safe from the bugs :) Misscommunication - we didn’t get any towels on the first day. Once we asked for it, we got only one. When explained we need two, they apologized, said they will bring it but they never did. We gave up eventually. We didn’t had the feeling they are saving on the towells (its not that vibe in the lodge, you always get planty of food, coffee etc.), its just lost in communication between them, probablly due to lack of processes.
• Ann (9/5): Go visit the jungle!! - Falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle was amazing. As was the food, wayyyyy too much for me 3 courses for every meal! Carlos was a great guide and spoke really good English. Victor, Guido and the rest of the staff were so friendly and proud of the lodge Nada
• Corinna (10/5): Exceptional - I had an excellent stay at Amak - from the warm and helpful staff to the 3 course meals, it definitely exceeded my expectations for the very fair price. The schedule was well thought-out with interesting activities around the area and Carlos was an exceptional local guide. I felt very well taken care of. It would have been great to get a look at the scheduled activities beforehand, but nevertheless everything was well-organised and suitable for everyone.
• Andrea (9/5): Amazing jungle experience with fantastic food in between - Beautiful location, with welcoming and amable staff, the food was really beyond expectations! The bathroom interior (bin, toilet lit and food towel) should be replaced.
• Desiree (10/5): Amazon Jewel - It was AMAZING! The service was beyond perfect. Mamerto, Alfredo, Victor, and the AMAK team were the perfect hosts. The place is already a paradise and in addition the food is delicious. Excellent service + nice accommodations + interesting tours + delicious food = Perfect Place for Vacation
• Ahmed (10/5): Marvelous - The trip , the guides, the hospitality, the food , the program and the service Nothing
• Ali (10/5): Amazing stay! - Amazing stay! Alfredo, Leo and Carlos were all amazing as well as the rest of the staff! I was sick for 1 of the days there, and Alfredo went over and above to make sure I was okay! I can't say enough good things about the food. The rooms were lovely, and the excursions exceeded my expectations. Even without having fans, we stayed cool at night. My partner was worried that the night hikes didn't go enough into the jungle, but you could see everything from the resort ground, which is quite big. It definitely felt like a luxury resort by the way they cared for you. Thank you again to everyone at amak. I had an issue previous to coming due to me booking a full board option instead of all-inclusive, but letisha from the reservations team was super helpful and eventually got it sorted for me. Dont make this mistake because it was a headache to fix! If you aren't a fan of spiders just dont go looking for them because they are everywhere (not in the rooms which is great) its a great place for people looking for wikdlife but i met a few people who werent expencting the amount of bugs they saw, but remember you are in the Amazon!
• Alisha (9/5): Superb - We had a very nice stay. The lodge is in a very beautiful setting, it’s such a peaceful place. The food is very good (very rich and lots of meat). In particular, the staff are very nice and very helpful. Carlos, the tour guide, knows the jungle very well and took us on some great tours. We travelled individually, so we took a taxi within Iquitos to the port and back. The younger Carlos (not the tour guide), who takes care of the transfer to the port for the guests who have booked a transfer to the lodge, wanted to arrange a tuk-tuk for us on the way back from the port to the city centre for 50 sol (!!!). We normally paid 8 sol for the journey and were able to agree on that. He tried to rip us off. However,I guess he only works with the lodge and is not part of the team (never seen him on the property), which therefor is not responsible for such behaviour.
• Florian (10/5): Truly amazing experience - Most important to mention is the great team - Victor realises every customer wish, Carlos is an exceptional guide and Leo cooks delicious for literally every meal. As well as all the others do a great job too. Big thank you to all of them, you made our stay unforgettable!! Other than that, the location, facility and the tours are great. We stayed 3 nights and it exceeded our expectations as the pictures don’t really show how beautiful it actually is there.
• Oneflyer (10/5): Exceptional - great place especially for price friendly staff make every effort to make u enjoy amazon i think i gain weight for stay nil
• Mitchell (10/5): Amazing!!! - Best lodge to visit the Amazon from Iquitos. All inclusive and as described and the pictures show. Super friendly staff that make you feel at home right from the start. Couldn’t recommend more. Loved everything
• Yuk (7/5): Good -
• Joao (9/5): Superb -
• Ella (10/5): Great experiences. Our tourist guide Carols is very knowledgeable, tell us a lot of interesting things during the night - The cabin is clean.
• Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely amazing staff and tours. Best food I had in iquitos
• Lorna (10/5): Amazing stay in the Amazon rainforest. - I liked the chilled family vibe. All the staff made you feel at home and the food was amazing. I expected to eat simply being in the Amazon rainforest, but we had 5 star style gormet food at every meal time. Nothing
• Gill (8/5): we loved it!!! definitely an incredible experience and would highly recommend - the experience, the staff were unbelievably amazing. such nice people, such great hosts. expensive alcohol on sale.
• Iris (8/5): Very good -
• Susan (8/5): Authentic eco lodge set on a beautiful well maintained property in the Amazon. Friendly staff that took very good care - beautiful setting in the jungle. private bungalows. nice open lobby.
• Diogo (9/5): Superb -
• Victoria (8/5): Very good -
• Susanne (9/5): wonderful time in the selva - wonderful location beautiful setting exceptional folks running it and taking care that everything runs smoothly. great chef! nothing to complain about
• Beatriz (9/5): Overall it was great, Amak Iquitos is an amazing place to enjoy the Amazonas - The staff, the location and the food. The activities were also great. The night activity is only going around the cabins, you don’t get off path
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 객실 안에 벌레가 많고 전기가 없고 따뜻한 물이 안나오는건 이키토스라서 어쩔 수 없지만, 능숙하지 않고 영어를 거의 못하는 가이드라 3일동안 답답했고, 피라냐 낚시, 나이트워킹도 없었고, 아마존강 수영한다고 수영복도 가져오라고 했으나 말도 없이 안함.. 매번 인위적인듯한 프로그램이 지루하고 재미없었다. 음식은 맛있으나 양이 매우적음... 제일 기대했던 남미 여행지였는데 정말 속상했다...
