These homes are owned by local families. It was wonderful to stay in an authentic floating reed home. We had our 2 kids (12 and 14) travel with us and we loved it. The location is rustic and homey. The families cooked us breakfast (included) and dinner. Electricity is generated via solar panels, so you need to ready for it. The family also took us for boat tours of the local village - it was charming and a chance to learn truly about local life. We HIGHLY recommend it - it is an opportunity to travel and support local families.

Beautiful room with stunning views of Lake Titikaka! Carlos and his family are very friendly, and keep their property very nice and tidy. The glass ceiling in the room and deck provide a unique stargazing experience at night time. Dinner was delicious, I left in the early morning so couldn’t try the breakfast which is available after 7am. Overall a magical stay!

Nothing, we liked everything!

Very nice room with comfortable bed. We liked the blankets very much, they keep you warm during the night, of course with the help of Carlos that brings some hot bottles of water to put on your feet. The terrace and the view from the room are amazing, at sunset especially the colours of the lake are surreal. The food was also very good! Considering the kitchen they have, they made magic of it. We had a trip around the community with the host, Carlos, which we enjoyed a lot.

Beautiful lodge in the Uros areas. Carlos did a lot of work to improve the living conditions for guests and the result is just amazing! Comfy bed, room with sunset and sunrise view, calm and relaxing! Carlos and family are lovely people! Well located, only 15 minutes boat ride from Puno port. Staying overnight in Uros, talking to the community here is an unique experience! We highly recommend anyone interested in the culture and history of Peru to stay in Uros!

This place was amazing. Carlos is a great host! He went above and beyond for us to see and learn about the community. The food was great and our room was perfect for us. Incredible view from our private dock. Thanks Carlos for an awesome stay!

That's some smell from the toilet, but, i know the limit of that when you living there.

The nice view and amazing facilities in our room. There are transfer from private port to lodge. I'm enjoying my tea time at terrace with sunshine. Carols take us to a sunset boat trip and provided a traditional dressed to us. We stay warm at night even outside is very cold.

Only had a short stay and wish could have stayed longer. Wonderful experience on a floating island. Very comfortable. Oliver and his wife were excellent hosts. Would recommend to anyone

The most amazing staff. Carlos and his whole family were so incredibly kind and helpful.

Stayed in April 2023

There is nothing we didn’t like about our stay, but we would recommend that visitors consider, during the day, in the bright sunshine it can be very hot, and at nighttime, close to the open water and the starry skies, it is freezing! Pack accordingly!

We loved the warm and traditional welcome awaiting us on this family island in Uros. Carlos and Mirabel went out of their way to make us feel at home. We liked the food and appreciated multiple duvets on the bed and hot water bottles at nighttime. Carlos and his brother Brandy were informative and knowledgeable about the real life of the Uros people and we still have no idea how Mirabel made such wonderful food in such a tiny kitchen.

Carlos was an exceptional host. He was very informative about the floating islands and lifestyle of the community as he transferred us to the accommodation. You travel past many of the islands making it a very scenic journey. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, it exceed our expectations. The food was excellent.

it’s basic so don’t expect luxury

it was basic and very authentic but what an experience, the family were so helpful and lovely

Stayed in September 2022

I wish there was wifi and a working toilet, HOWEVER, we are on a lake surrounded by a breathtaking view. I don't think you can even put a working toilet on the floating island. Therefore, I really didn't mind not having it. If I had to do the experience again, I would. . .knowing already what I know.

LOVED and LOVED! My kids and I will never be the same after our stay on this floating lodge. This was one of the most unique experiences that I've ever had. My kids really enjoyed this also. I will be telling my friends all about this. I would do this again and again. Carlos put together our transportation to get there. He also booked us a super affordable tour of the lake which took us to Tequila Island and included lunch. It was just the most amazing 2 days ever!

Very nice experience living on the Uros islands. The accomodation is basic but has everything you need. The host family is outstanding and the trips with Carlos in his boats were great fun for us and our kids. A boat/shop passes by each morning to buy some basic stuff, and dinner (very good)/drinks can be bought (cheap).Gas heating in the room and warm bottles to keep your feet warm in the bed. Dont forget to bring cash!!

best breakfast i had in Peru , family is very social which is good

right in the lago titicaca what else is there to say!

Stayed in July 2022

Not a negative but know their is no wifi and it’s very quiet.

We loved staying with Carlos and his family on their island! Incredible views, very quiet! Carlos was so open to Sharing about their customs and history of Uros. Our kids played with their kids. Since it’s winter, it’s a bit cold at night but very comfortable during the day! Their homemade meals were delicious! Highly recommend 2 nights in this very unique & traditional village setting!

Unique experience! Hosted by a genuine uros family. Very welcoming and caring. Just do it!

Stayed in June 2022

We liked everything.

The family that owns the Uros Tikarani Lodge (Carlos and Maribel Lujano), are kind and hospitable. The Lodge itself was spectacular: comfortable, secure, very well located (nothing matches being on a floating island on Lake Titicaca!), and warm. The food was also a plus. Carlos and Maribel gave us all the information we needed about tours, the lake, and the Uros community.

this is such a special place! This place is amazing and a must, if you are at lake titicaca, you don’t want to miss this experience. Carlos is really helpful with getting there, organizing tours and and explaining about the life on the floating islands. the breakfast and the dinner are homemade by his wife and just great! you have hot water, electricity and Wi-Fi on the this floating island. impressing how they make this!
