Uros Titicaca Uta Lodge

So this is 100% accurate review based on our trip in May: Pros: - nice family and area. It's an unforgettable experience! - The meals from this family are really delicious! Cons: - No hot water for washing and bath. - Not enough water for taking the bath. Be prepared. - The toilet does not have running water. You need to cover with sand. - Basically, the restroom linked to your room is only for toilet. You need to go out for washing face. - No charge for phones and cameras within room. You can charge by USB in the resturant but it's very slow. - The family there can barely speak English. If you don't know Spanish the communication is hard. Tips: - Night time the temperature is very low. Bring cloths! - Charge all your electronics before you come!

It was a very quiet small island with only our family for that night.The couple and their son tried their best to provide what they can to us although we do not speak Spanish, and they hardly speak English. We enjoyed the home cooking and appreciate their genuine interests in us. The hostess brought out their nice outfit for us to try and to take pictures. It was pretty cold in the evening inside the room although the hot water bottles kept us warm in bed.

We understand that we were on an island. Our first experience was with the only male staff member that made us feel welcome as a guest and not as income. Unfortunately the boat motor got tangled in reeds in pitch darkness in an aluminum small boat on the way for 10- 15 minutes which wan't helpful for my partner who has a fear of being on water. If the day has been cloudy there is likely not to be any hot water, limited ability to charge anything and the "hot basic meal" is $10US cash only ( notes can not have have any tears on them at all). On leaving we got asked to give a tip, which should be voluntary but when you're on an island wanting to get off??? and then on land expecting the taxi driver is paid before the ride ( Which took us to the wrong hotel) so that they could get their cut of the taxi fair. It was both an enjoyable experience from staff that understood the customer and a really disappointing one for those who where completely in it for just the money and getting how ever much they could from you.

This accommodation is missold. Dealing with facilities first, there is no power to the rooms I.e. you cannot charge anything! This needs to Ben made clear as we were practically stranded for three days with no ability to contact anyone. Our room, and the rooma of everyone else we spoke to who stayed didn’t not have a ‘terrace’. The restaurant is actually a room for eating, there is no choice in timings or what you eat.. so a little misleading to call it a restaurant. We stayed two days and got exactly the same basic meal each time. Also they did not offer any drinks with meals. There is no 24 hour front desk. The walking distances are completely incorrect, you cannot walk anywhere as you are in the middle of the lake - fine for us, but for others this came as quite a surprise. Not the most surprising that they don’t show you the toilet in any of the picture... basic and with compost. All their pictures show one of the nice big yellow rafts for transportation, this does not exist on the actual island. They also offered us no tours We left after only two nights of our three night booking and honestly that was quite a stretch. We were expecting basic facilities, but feel that the lodge had missold itself online, and would recommend to anyone only one night. Also make sure everything electronic you might need is charged up, and you have warm clothing with you. Also make sure you have your confirmation details as they had no idea how much to charge us when we were leaving!!

L’établissement a annulé 4 heures avant notre arrivée (famille de 4 personnes ) d’alternative. Nous nous sommes retrouvé a Puño à essayer de trouver un hôtel, nous avons perdu une journée de viste.

Staying on the floating island is a unique experience. Rising sun is beautiful. The hotel and room beautiful and conform to pictures. All people staying have to be ready for cold temperature at night. Hotel staff are family and were vry kind. Only thing is that we could not communicate due to our lack of spanish knowledge. More fun if you are a family or small group because no activities or things to do at night.

Considerando se tratar em uma visita ao povoado de Uros com objetivo de conhecer e conviver com os locais recomendamos a visita a todos. As acomodações são simples, mas muito aconchegantes e limpas. A família local é muito querida e atenciosa.

Eu super recomendo essa pousada. A experiência em pernoitar em uma ilha de totora em Uros foi incrível. E maior ainda foi nossa surpresa com a estrutura dessa pousada e o acolhimento da família que vive lá. Fomos muito bem recebidos, com uma comida caseira maravilhosa, um banheiro privativo amplo e um quarto super bacana, com vista maravilhosa e uma cama confortável e quentinha! Uma estrutura surpreendente, para quem não esperava muita coisa, tendo em vista a localização do lugar! Em cima da água! Dou nota 10 para Uros Titicaca Uta Lodge!

Une famille extraordinaire ! Super acceuil , la nourriture etais excellente ! Je recommande fortement cette endroit :)))

The service is good, but charging is inconvenient.
