Very nice place to relax. Everything is made very beautiful, with a sense of detail. Many flowers in the garden, great views, comfortable beds.

We booked this hotel for while we were exploring the Colca Canyon and viewing the Condors. We did not regret our stay at all. We found this hotel to be very relaxing and quiet. What was nice is the hosts would take care of any requests you had regarding tours and taxis. This enabled us to not have to bother with making any arrangements at all. The restaurant was never crowded as there are only 15 or so rooms which made dinner completely stress free (breakfast as well). We liked the fact that breakfast was included and it gave us a quick start to the day. The rooms were nicer than we were expecting and the grounds were well kept. We enjoyed walking around he town as it was very quiet and easy to navigate. The hot springs are not that far from the hotel and there is a map available to guide you there. We preferred the hot springs in Chivay though as they were shaded and a little bit more developed.

We hiked to pre Inca Uyo Uyo Archaeological Site. At the end of hike we had relaxing time in a hot springs. Also, we enjoyed Wititi dances by beautiful girls in a Plaza de Armas of small town.

We had a great stay at Killawasi Lodge. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a great one. They even do a daily guided hike through the canyon from the hotel. We decided to go on an earlier hike by ourselves because of the weather so they drew us a map showing all the places we wanted to go. The restaurants in town are very limited but the hotel's restaurant provides a nice selection of Peruvian foods. I personally really enjoyed the Chupa de Quinoa. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a stay in Colca Canyon.

The owner, Guillermo, empowers his staff to exceed expectations -- they are extremely responsive, friendly, and accommodating, prepared to adapt to unforeseen issues to solve them quickly and wonderfully. They have excellent English and respond to email and phone inquiries promptly and fully. They arranged our tour from Puno to their lodge, into Colca Canyon and onto Arequipa, making it very easy for us to stay at Killawasi for two days and two nights, to enjoy hikes in the surrounding hills and terraces, views of the snow capped active volcanos, the charming small town of Yanque, relaxing in the hammocks, thermal baths nearby, and a horseback riding tour they arranged for us (be sure to confirm that the guide speaks English). From all information we gathered, this is the best place to stay in the Chivay/Yanque area. The rooms are large, with private balconies and modern bathrooms with plentiful hot water. The hotel's restaurant is a bit upscale without being prohibitive, well exectuted, and you can feel comfortable eating the salads.. what more could one want?

A great hotel in a wonderful location. Food in the restaurant was also excellent

All went well here and this is a very nice place. We were the only ones in the hotel, but the manager and the cook made us welcome and service excellent food.

Room was spacious, comfy. Breakfast was good. The view from our room and the balcony was great with the smoking volcano and the other volcanoes towering around. The whole area is well landscaped and has its own resident mocking bird. Their free guided hike to the ruins is good. Owner speaks fluent English and arranged Mirador del Condor trip each with Agotur Colca.We caught our own taxi from Chivay to Yanque where our 4M express bus dropped us off from Puno. After the condor trip, we walked to the plaza , caught a taxi and drove to Cabanaconde and hiked a couple of kilometers on the trail to Tapay oasis. Great views and we had a nice time for the 150soles we had paid the driver. We engaged the same driver for 15 soles for the next day drop to Chivay to catch our bus to Arequipa. People stay for just one night in Yanque but we stayed for 2 nights and liked it

We stayed in their new deluxe double room which was clean, spacious and lovely. Shower water was hot and the wifi signal was strong. Each deluxe room has its own front yard with two chairs overlooking mountains. Breakfast and dinner were good.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights and wished we could've stayed longer. We were pleasantly surprised by every element of the lodge. The room was beautiful, and immaculate. The view was absolutely incredible. You look right over fields, with wandering llamas and sheep into the Colca Valley. The manager (owner?) was really helpful and booked us cabs, trekking, trips to the hot springs, and to Cruz el Condor, all on short notice. The guides for trekking and the condor trip were both great. Everything we had at the restaurant was delicious, we ate dinner there both nights, and the included breakfast spread starts at 6 am, so you can eat before heading out. It's a bit secluded, Yanque is really small, but we liked that, and were glad we stayed there rather than in the larger Chivay.

We had a fantastic two-night stay at Killiwasi. The meals were consistently tasty (huge portions for the price), and while the menu is probably limited for a multi-night stay, we never ate the same thing twice. The staff was friendly and multi-lingual, and the complimentary hike to the ruins and hot springs was a wonderful perk. The rooms are spacious, clean, and there was ample hot water. This place is a gem--it's a bit of an oasis in the surrounding landscape, but I would receive men's it to anyone looking for a few peaceful days in Yanque.

Lovely little lodge with seriously nice rooms (much nicer facilities than I expected in such a little town and for such a low price - the nicest room and bathroom of any lodge I stayed at in Peru). Good food, nice staff, and overall a great value. Yanque is a little smaller than Chivay, but I loved it as a place to stay for a couple nights during a Colca tour. I'd definitely recommend doing 2 nights rather than just one, especially if it is at the start of your trip - you'll be thankful for the time to acclimatize to the altitude!

We went here for a quiet rest before further travel

It has been a very nice experience, clean and well mantained structure. The staff make ttheir best to keep you happy and satisfied.It a quite and nice space to rest at a well balance price/value ratio. I will be happy to recomend for couples or family.

The room had a 180 view of the mountains.The bed was like sleeping on a cloud.The hot springs were very private.

We stayed for one night at Killawasi. The hotel is recently built and very comfortable. The owner is superb and friendly in every way to make your stay as wonderful as possible. Food at the restaurant also great (ate 3 meals there in 1 day!)The biggest thing to think about before booking is if you want to stay in Yanque. It's a very small village that is 10 minutes from Chivay (which is 3-4 hours from Arequipa by bus). There isn't much of anything to do in Yanque itself, but the isolation makes it quite tranquil. I would definitely pick it again, but it's important to know what you're getting into before booking.
