La vista

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!

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.

I honestly feel so lucky that I decided to stay at this place. The room is huge with a breathtaking view for sunset and sunrise. It’s completely quite and you feel alone with only nature and ducks around you. Carlos was such an amazing host, taking the time to explain to me the history of the lake, the culture. I was basically alone with him in the boat having a tour of the island, far from the mass tourism. If you truly want a one of a kind experience, book here and with no hesitation. Specially when I heard many people not having a good experience at lake, because they stayed at Puno or a different place. I feel so fortunate that I was able to have a complete opposite experience. Thank you so much Carlos !

Beautiful lodge in the Uros areas. Carlos did a lot of work to improve the living conditions for guests and the result is just amazing! Comfy bed, room with sunset and sunrise view, calm and relaxing! Carlos and family are lovely people! Well located, only 15 minutes boat ride from Puno port. Staying overnight in Uros, talking to the community here is an unique experience! We highly recommend anyone interested in the culture and history of Peru to stay in Uros!

the property was amazing! Carlos and his family were very friendly. we really felt at home and they helped us with everything (trips, transfers etc.) I would highly recommend this place if you want to visit lake titicaca. he also thought us about their culture and the place itself is really amazing and calm.

The nice view and amazing facilities in our room. There are transfer from private port to lodge. I'm enjoying my tea time at terrace with sunshine. Carols take us to a sunset boat trip and provided a traditional dressed to us. We stay warm at night even outside is very cold.

That's some smell from the toilet, but, i know the limit of that when you living there.

Only had a short stay and wish could have stayed longer. Wonderful experience on a floating island. Very comfortable. Oliver and his wife were excellent hosts. Would recommend to anyone
