Nothing!

It was an unforgettable stay in an amazing location. We felt so at home and thorougly looked after. A combination of considered hospitality and incredible cultural experience. The highlight of our trip and we'll remember it forever.

It’s quite cold even in their summer (we were there in February) and the weather is unpredictable (sun, rain, high wind). So take lots of layers! And payment is cash only which is good to know in advance.

Stunning place in Lake Titicaca with amazing hosts. The scenery is incredible, and Franco really made us so welcome. Everything is very well organised. Plenty of space just to rest and relax, and also go on excursions and learn about the Uros culture. The food was the best we’d eaten in a month in Peru.

A very special experience staying in Uros a community located on lake Titicaca. The hosts made the experience incredible..teaching us about the culture and history of the area. The rooms were gorgeous with big sweeping views of the lake, the most comfortable beds, a bathtub! And 3 delicious meals. Thank you Franco and family we will never forget our time at your place.

The place is absolutely beautiful, the food was great, the hosts super friendly and we even did a tour to another Uros floating island where we learnt about the history and construction method of the floating island houses. Many thanks 😁

Franco was an amazing host and shared lots of things about his culture and the history of the lake during our boat rides. The room was spacious, comfortable and was a perfect spot to unwind with a book.

Nothing :) no wifi service but it doesn’t matter. 4G signal is smooth.

The room is really comfortable. There’s heater in the room and even in the bed. The whole family of host are pretty nice, the meals are delicious! The view of titicaca lake is really amazing but peaceful. This is our best stay in Peru. Highly recommended!

Franco and Mery were the best hosts! We felt very welcomed and enjoyed learning about the floating islands and their culture. 3 lovely home cooked meals; a personal tour around the islands and history of the lake/floating islands, as well as the chance to do kayaking on the lake all included. We spoke some Spanish but Franco’s English was impeccable. Great views of Lake Titicaca all around you! It can be a little cold (as you are in the middle of a lake!) so be sure to bring some warm clothes. Either way a heater was provided and hot water available too. Our favourite place to stay during our trip in Peru!

My partner and I had the best two days! Franco picked us up via boat from the main port and we arrived within 30 minutes to the lodge. The room was clean, large, warm, and accompanied by a heat source for the night time. The bathroom was clean and warm water for both of us to shower! Also, the food was AMAZING. We truly loved eating the food cooked by their family. The meals were extensive with several options and always delicious. I couldn’t recommend it more!

There is nothing I can think about.

EVERYTHING. One of the most beautiful and nicely located places we've stayed. The room was large and bright, beds were huge and with extra comfy mattresses and pillows. The bathtub with a view is gorgeous. Terrace just outdoors is ideal to spend time relaxing and enjoying the sun. Hot water runs 24/7 and you can take a bath without being afraid it runs out. Gas heating during the night makes you not feel the harsh cold. Food made locally by the hosts is simple but delicious, with nice touches. Breakfasts are very healthy. The host family is very nice and quiet, didn't intrude our privacy and Wily helped us better understand the way the Uros live and build their floating islands in our balsa tour at sunset. We definitely recommend staying at Qhapaq. Hopefully we'll be back one day. For those working, as we did, there is a stable 4G connection with several providers.

- You have to get used to cold nights and the gas heater may runs out of gas, so be careful how you use it.

- great location, fantastic view - very friendly host - good food, especially the breakfast - nice boat trips - the quiet... Our host showed us the neighborhood and explained a lot about how the community lives and how the houses were built. It was really interesting!

An amazing place in a beautiful location. Wily and his family made us feel at home with their warm welcome. They pay so much attention to the smallest of details, delicious home cooked meals and an a educational boat ride are all part of the experience. The room is spacious, cozy and comfortable, with incredible views from all sides. The outside deck with full bed is a great way to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. Building and maintenance of the floating islands is a lot of hard work and I have gained a tremendous respect towards the Uros people of lake Titicaca, and am thankful for the opportunity to be able to experience a bit of their way of life and culture. We will be back there some day for sure! Highly recommended unique experience!

Understandable for the circumstances of living on a floating island the water to shower was wam but with low preassure. Take into account to pay in chash and confirm in advance the exact amount so there are no difficulties.

The room is the only one on the Island. The Terraze has a nice view and a comfortable outside bed with a sun protecting umberella. The room itslef is spacious and because of the windows with a lot of light. You are able to see sunset and sunrise out of the room. The eco-bathroom has has everything you need and it is very easy to use. Willy and his family is very kind and did our weekend unforgettable. The price included a tour to the 120 islands and the markable points as the soccer field and the local primary school. He explained very good how the Islands are build and how they have to maintain them to keep flooting. The Food was awesome! Big breakfast (Fresh fruits, bread, cheese, hotcakes, scrumbled eggs), lunch and dinner. We always were satisfied and even with the last minute change to vegetarian food it was delicious and every day different (lunch and dinner). With the small solar pannels we had light at night and even could charge our phones. For a day trip to the Taquile Island we payed 70 soles per person with the lunch included.

Long story short - they disappeared in the time of check-in and cancelled our stay 5 hour after the appointed time of check-in. After receiving a booking confirmation weeks in advance and talking to the hosts about the time of our arrival, they didn't answer to us for two day before our arrival about pickup or meeting point for the boat. Me and my mom got to puno in 5 am and were stuck on the street with our luggage for 5 hours before receiving a message from booking that the hosts cancelled our stay in that very moment. It has been almost a week and still no answer from the hosts or booking about the reason for cancellation or any compensation. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND DONT GO HERE. We had to look for a free hotel to that night after ordering this hotel weeks in advance.

1) Advertised free WiFi — they did not have free WiFi and when they finally brought it, it worked for 10 minutes before it stopped. This was problematic as I had some work I had to commit to. 2) Nowhere in the advertisement did they mention we would be part of the Uros community, which I was honestly trying to avoid. 3) Ad said free parking but we had the host hunt us down in the middle of Puno after we had paid him demanding the extra 40 soles that we had already paid to the man who kept our car. 4) Big hot tub, no way to fill it because the water doesn’t stop draining. Not that you want to use that much water anyway, but it would be nice if the wand carried hot water instead of only the tub spout so that you could more easily bathe. 5) Took us 4 times asking how much we owe the family for them to come up with a number, and it was such an awkward interaction. On top of that, it was about $200 soles more than what was quoted on the website and we have no idea why, just the vague idea that they charged us extra for food and or other activities. It seemed dishonest given the Booking.com advertisement. 6) Ridiculously high amount to charge for the experience, so the value isn’t there. On top of that, given the amount they’re charging, it is absurd that they don’t take credit card or any kind of online payment.

The facilities were clean and comfortable, and we caught a beautiful sunset on the lake, but we were less than pleased with the false advertising involved in this booking and the awkwardness of the hosts.
