It was a unique experience staying on this floating island overnight. The deck is perfect for sunset. The room is clean with gas heater. The Bed is comfortable.

- The communication with the hosts was a little slow. - the cold water in the bathroom

It was a truly nice experience. The host arranged a last-minute tour to Uros Islands (in Spanish with Eddie's father) and Taquile Island (In English with an organized group) for us - we went during low season. Additionally, they took care of all our transfers and even accommodated an early transfer so we could catch an early bus. The room was spacious, clean, and featured a comfortable bed with enough blankets to ensure a restful night's sleep despite the chilly weather.

Bathroom could be upgraded

The pick up and drop off worked flawlessly and uncomplicated. Everyone is super friendly. Food was great. The private lake tour is very interesting and you learn a lot about the community. It’s very quiet and peaceful, perfect to relax after some days in the cities.

The place is such a uniqe experience, it’s a must see. Even with the conditions of living, there is everything you need for a shorter period of stay. Eddy and his family ar super kind and caring, and the value for money is absolutely worth it. We had dinner, lunch, breakfast, a 2 hour tour and transportation included in the all inclusive package and it was more than great.

Eddie and his family were so lovely, we really enjoyed this authentic stay on the lake, we watched a storm from our bed with around 10 blankets and a hot water bottle made by the family on our night stay and it made it so special, food was really lovely and we enjoyed the tour

It is a rare and amazing chance to stay on the man made islands in the middle of the lake! Totally worth it. Eddie and family were wet friendly and helpful. They sent a driver to pick up us from the station and met us at the bay by a boat. They also organised a trip to Taquile island for us and treated us to yummy breakfast and dinner daily. The tranquility and nature of the lake is outstanding! It was about 5-10C outside, not too cold even without heating and definitely warm in bed with tons of duvets. However, I missed warm water a bit and one has to just get on with the bathroom facilities as it isn’t what you’d have on land. Overall, a great place to chill and detach from your daily life as there’s no internet so you can sit on a deck and meditate on the lake! Once in a lifetime journey.

Rustic accommodation on the lake, overwhelmingly welcoming hosts... it felt like a dream

Be aware you are in the middle of a big lake living with indigenous Uro people - it is not western standard (but you can not miss a thing) but worth diving in. We loved the experience and Eddy‘d heartwarming energy.

Eddy is the best! We had a great time with him and his family

It gets colder at nigth, but Eddie´s mum provided us with bottles of hot watter that keep us warm the whole night until the next morning. Although there are no outlets, Eddie helped us to charge your phones.Bring your own towels and shower products.

Amazing local and unique experience. Eddie and his family paid attention to every detail so our stay was perfect! We ate local and home food, we visited the community, bought local handicrafts, and learnt about their way of life. In addition, it was quiet at night so we were able to rest after our trip. Don´t expect a luxury hotel, but expect an amazing experience!

Eddy and his family are very friendly. Our room was perfect. There was even warm water in the shower, which I didn't expect. We did a 2 hours Uros tour with Eddy. The tour was very interesting, we were at the local school as well as at local families and we totally recommend booking this tour! Moreover, we borrowed a kayak from Eddy and were kayaking. The nights are pretty cold on those islands, but you get very warm blankets and warming bottles. It was an amazing experience to learn more about Uros people and Lake Titikaka. We also recommend to try the lunch/dinner. It's very delicious.

What an amazing stay with Mama, Papa and Eddie. Staying here was one of the highlights of our South America trip. Beds were super comfortable and waking up to the view was amazing. Food was excellent and all home cooked. Loved it ❤️

The only criticism I can make and the reason I can’t give 10/10 is that the shower did not work very well due to problems with water pressure and temperature, so quite difficult to wash. I appreciate that it cannot be easy to achieve a perfect shower every time on a floating island though.

Just an amazing, truly unique place and an experience not to be missed. A lovely family who create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We particularly loved the terrace overlooking the lake with an outdoor four poster bed, such a treat! Super-friendly pets on site were also a delight. Beds were very comfortable and really warm at night with the addition of the homemade hot water bottles.

Eddy was amazing as a host and made our whole trip run smoothly! The location is breathtaking and views are amazing. Eddy set us up a boat tour the next day of a nearby island and dropped us off to join the tour. The food was simple but delicious and his family very kind. Everything was provided to make the whole trip stress free such as pick up from the bus station and a boat to the homestay. Highly recommend this experience!!

- the shower had only very cold water and the water pressure was super weak. We came from a two day hike in Colca canyon and I desperately needed a shower. - toilet was interesting without flush but some kind of cat litter - but that’s what you also read in the description from the hotel

- great experience to stay on the family island - Eddy (son) speaks very good English, his parents only speak Spanish but are super lovely and always smile :) - the bed was huge, we had seven blankets and got a bottle of hot water each for the night to take with us to bed (it’s freezing cold at night) - we slept very good with all this - the private terrace and the hammocks were very nice to relax a bit in the sun and enjoy the sunrise and sunset (the sun is very strong at lake Titicaca and after sunset it gets very cold) - we booked the all inclusive option and therefore had all home cooked meals included (very good, also vegetation option) and got two tours with Eddy on his boats. He explained the life at lake Titicaca and showed us around the Uros islands. It was really nice to get a tour from a local and not go on the touristic tours starting in Puno.

Super nice and friendly family and good and healthy food! Also super interesting tour to Uros Islands with lots of insights and away from the large tourist boats.

- very cold at night (wintertime)- be prepared! We even got hot-water-bottles after dinner! :) Thank you! … you should ask about the details of (2 Hour) boat-tour beforehand.

Once in a lifetime experience! We absolutely loved and enjoyed to stay with Eddy and his family. They are very welcoming and caring. Food was delicious. We will never forget the unique experience to stay at that magic place and see how the Uros live. Sunsets are truly spectecular :) We had a little dress up with the mum of the family which was really fun! Kayak and the little ride with Roy was very interessting. They are really Life-artists and live with the condition of „cochamama“! We would come again!

Eddy and his family were awesome and made our stay on their Uro unforgettable

Facilities are very basic. If you want comfort and luxury, this is the wrong place. Sometimes, no running water in the morning until the overhead water towers unfreeze! Room is heated with a gas heater - can get below freezing on some nights. Bathroom very basic. More like a camping experience but great way to see how locals live. Great if you are on a budget!

Eddy and his family were great hosts. Very authentic experience living as the natives. Generous size rooms, great home made food, hot water bottles at night (much needed). Eddy picked us up from train station then took us to the lodge with his boat. Great communication, no surprises!
