Getting to the floating island and back is not so easy, but Eddy arranged everything for us - taxi from Juliaca Airport and boat to the island (together 110soles for 2), so it was not a problem.

Sleeping on the floating island on the lake Titicaca was an amazing experience for us! All rooms have wonderful views over the Titicaca. We watched sunset from the bed on our terrace, it was absolutely amazing. Eddy and his family was perfect hosts and we enjoyed our stay a lot. They cooked very good dinner (10usd per person) and breakfast for us and we also had a lot of coca tea. We also had a tour around Uros islands (10 usd per person) with Eddy which was very interesting. He speaks good English what is not so common in South America.

Room was comfortable and had a lovely view of the lake. Optional tour was mostly non-touristy and have a nice insight into how the Uros islanders live.

Altitude sickness is a real thing. You are 12,000 feet high when you are in lake titicaca and we all experienced headache and discomfort. It does pass but it is a little rough around the edges trying to adapt.

From the minute you get off the boat you are surrounded with true indigenous culture and the purest love and happiness. This is a family owned business and they devoted their lives to this place and making it comfortable for guests. The food was awesome and super healthy. The day beds were amazing and the rooms were spacious. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Nothing!!!

Probably one of the greatest experiences on our trip to Peru: being picked up by Eddy at our arrival by night and driving by boat to the reed island watching the stars/the milky way over lake Titicaca. Eddy and his family were great hosts creating us some unforgettable memories and making it an extraordinary stay. They served really great and fresh local food (e.g. fresh ceviche of the trout that was fished by Eddys father in the morning) and did everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible (e.g. for the night we got hot water bottles for the bed as it is getting really cold by night). The room was really nice with a breath taking view out on the lake. During the day Eddy took us out on the lake to show us the Uros community and told us a lot about how they are living. All in all we loved our stay there and recommended it to all our friends and family to stay there if visiting lake Titicaca.

The host family is really friendly. We arrived at Puno at 5am but they still came to pick us up.

Beware there are no outlets, so bring external battery packs. They do have usb plugs.

The island is traditionally made. I loved my experience here. Eddy and his family are such kind souls. They welcomed us onto their island with our puppy. They are great with pets. I felt super comfortable in the room and the king size bed was a plus. We slept really well. The view is extraordinary. The stars at night are marvelous We went kayaking around the area, highly recommend you do to. It’s a great value for the experience. The food was delicious. Eddy gave us a tour around Uros. Overall a great experience, I look forward to returning.

The lodge is badly isolated and it’s cold at night

The place is absolutely fantastic. You wake up every morning and the first thing you see is the deep blue of the Titicaca Lake. The housekeeper is really nice and available. You have to pay 40 soles for a round trip to Puno, and the service is available almost all day. The breakfast is also nice.

Compared to the rest of the references here, our experience was not 100%. There was no water in the shower (I mean neither cold). Also the communication with Eddie was not fully OK, we ask for arranging a trip for the morning but at the agreed time there was nobody at the island. In about half an hour Eddies wife come to the island and we started to search Eddie. After another hour she took us to other island to catch at least the second trip.

Beautiful atmosphere, quite comfortable stay taking into account the exotic location and unusual way of living there, perfect pick up, good food.

We were very disappointed with the overall experience. All of the lodges offer the same view, so it is not enough to just rely on that fact alone when providing this experience. - The hosts were not friendly to us at all, we were dropped on the island and then could not find anyone for the next few hours, even to get some water. They barely spoke to us during our whole stay. - We booked a boat tour at 2pm, but at 4:30pm we still couldn't find anyone and in the end went for a small, barely 1 hour tour before the sunset, but we were charged the full price. - The dinner was well below average, with no local dishes or anything special, and was incredibly expensive (double the price to be found in Puno for a good meal) - There was a lot of hidden charges like the transfer to the lodge and drinking water, which seems unfair considering the isolated circumstances. - Heating in the rooms was advertised but it turns out we weren't allowed to use it. - The shower had no pressure, so while it was hot it was difficult to have a shower anyway. - Communication with the host was slow at times.

The experience to be on a floating island was incredible and the sunset views were unique and special.

The stay at Uros Aruntawi lodge was the highlight of my visit to Titicaca lake. The family is so nice and the place is so beautiful (especially the terrace) You can really feel how the life of Uros is and get close to the nature as much as possible which made the stay a very unique experience for me.
