It was difficult because of altitude sickness, but I was satisfied with everything because I was able to spend comfortably and warmly at the room.

They were attentive and kind. The meal was also delicious and satisfying. The view of the lake was very nice.

There is nothing that I didn't like.

Everything! Cesar and Lucy are lovely people and amazing hosts. They sorted out airport pickup from Juliaca airport and transport to the island. The room exceeded expectations and was clean and beautiful. The views are spectacular. I highly recommend that you stay here.

The Lake can be a bit cold, especially when it rains.

Owner Caesar speaks good English. He & his wife are very friendly & made me felt welcome to their island. Caesar is enthusiastic in introducing his community & its unique culture to me. The food is excellent given the very basic condition on the islands. The room is clean , modern & comfortable (with heating & hot water). Large windows offer a great view of the lake.

With consideration of the destination and keeping with some sustainable practices, I'm not sure that too much else could be better. We found all of our needs to be covered, and the host family was accommodating to any extra activities that we were wanting to enjoy.

The food was great. The beds were super comfortable. This island is further down from the main strip of islands, and it was so peaceful and quiet. We just enjoyed the entire experience and learned a lot about the local culture and ways of life. Our hosts arranged a trip to Isla Taquile as well, which was a great bonus. This was a great recharge on our tour of Peru, and everything was made really simple from the moment we arrived at the small port that services this part of Uros islands. Also a plus, our host had a solid grasp of English which was really helpful.

We thought the kids would have more to do. But during the two days they got two boattrips, but they were amazing. It would be great to be shown around at the island to know where the kids could swim, if there was a kayak to borrow etc.

Fantastic location. Lucy was fantastic with the food and the trip at sunset.

The bathroom is not well resolved. There is rather uncomfortable smell in the morning as the door does not close perfectly. The communication was slightly difficult - I wrote several messages on booking, but received no answer. Finally we got in touch via whatsapp but some issues remained unclear or misinterpreted. With a better communication, we could have planned the activities better. The access via the traditional port (not the central one) doesn't leave the best impression as it is dirty and smelly. A part of the activities was a tour on the touristic boat navigated by some local kids. They sang and asked us for money in the end the has left an uncomfortable feeling.

The lodge is located a bit further away from the busy touristic places and offers a peaceful escape. Beautiful sunset and sunrise. The lodge is cosy and well-equipped, given the remote location. The family is really nice and committed.

- The only downside was the tour of the local community which felt a bit like a tourist trap. We had 30 minutes of ‘free time’ where a woman who lives on the island ushered us to visit her house and try on traditional clothing, then took us to visit her shop. There were 4 travellers on our tour and we all felt quite uncomfortable as she pressured us to purchase from her shop while we were wearing her clothing (you feel guilty if you don’t buy anything). When we expressed interest in a ‘handmade’ blanket, she offered an exorbitant price of s/150 (the identical blanket can be found for s/65 at any souvenir shop in Puno) and then followed us quite aggressively around her island when we said that we no longer wanted to buy it. She said that it took her 1 month to make the blanket by hand (which was very likely mass produced off the island) which we thought was dishonest. For such a pricey lodge, we were surprised that we were taken to buy overpriced souvenirs, which is a common practice for cheap day tours to the Uros.

- Very comfortable and spacious room with lovely view. Great heater at night and hot water bottles! - Attentive host who organised taxis for us and took us on a tour of his community and took us fishing on his Tortora boat. The host took us to visit the reed island of another family, where he gave a demonstration and explanation of the reed islands with models. This part was amazing, and he answered all our questions. - Meals were delicious and very filling, you will feel spoiled for sure!

One of the most unique place we have ever stayed. Tough to beat a glass-walled room on a floating reed island in Lake Titicaca, hosted by an indigenous family that was eager to show us their heritage and traditions. What an experience!. And the food was good! We were picked up by the owner in his boat at the local warf, and spent two nights on their private island, with tours to the local sites, including neighbors, the school, church, shops. A wonderful experience.

there’s not much to do if you arrive in the morning, I would suggest to organize some daytime activities beforehand (like visiting amantani) and then get to the accomodation in the afternoon before sunset to enjoy the view

the view on the lake is amazing, it’s really nice to stay in Uros and meet the community

I think things are looking a little tired after two years of no tourism. Although basic facilities, a toilet lid would be good and some heater in the dining area .

Food was excellent, nice to see youngsters around but didn’t really see test of family .

There’s nothing that I did not like!

We loved, loved our stay at Uros Samarana Uta Lodge. Cesar and Lucy were the best hosts. They took care of every little detail during our stay - right from warm, cosy beds to a great tour of the Uros islands and fantastic home-cooked food. The property is very well-maintained and beautiful, and we had a relaxed and wonderful vacation here.
