Our stay on Amantaní was honestly one of the most special experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the hosts welcomed us like family. They went out of their way to make us feel at home, sharing delicious homemade meals, stories, and little moments that made the whole stay feel incredibly personal. It didn’t feel like we were guests at all, but more like we were part of their family for those days. Everything was so full of heart, and that’s what made it unforgettable. We left feeling so grateful for the experience and the connection we shared. If you’re visiting Amantaní, staying here is something really special 🤍

Comfortable room in lovely house. The island is very peaceful. Henry and Mariluz make the experience - they are so friendly and helpful, you really feel like part of their family. Excellent food and a great experience - would recommend!

“Great!”

Mariluz and Henry are amazing hosts, and they were so friendly. Henry met us when we arrived and walked us back to the ferry the next day. The place has a great view of the lake, and they have a nice garden. totally recommend it to anyone considering Amantani. We wish we could have stayed for longer.

“Outstanding”

Absolutely stunning location & homestay hosts a perfect expired staying in a honestay thank you!

“Great homestay”

Very welcoming family, nice people. They picked me up at the port, and we also walked to Pachamama. Such an authentic experience, and the best food I've eaten in Peru!

Our stay at Henry's and Mariluz Lodge was just great! The rooms were nice and very Clean, but the Highlight is their hospitality. They helped us with everything, gave great tips were to go and which paths to Take best. Henry also helped us a lot for the Trip Back and even walked us to the Port. Mariluz food was just delicious! We had lunch and Dinner there. What I also liked very much is that they sat down with us during the meals, and though our spanish is very basic we had nice conversations. They made us feel very Welcome and I can 100% recommend staying with them. Henry and Mariluz: muchas Gracias!

The place is soooo peaceful and quiet, the rooms are comfortable and the views are amazing. But definitely the best part are the hosts Henry and Mariluz! Such lovely and warm hearted people, we really felt like part of the family. And the food is AMAZING as well, Mariluz cooks everything fresh and most of the food is grown locally on the island. They even gave us hand made clothes to take some pictures in. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet place with amazing food and loving hosts, this is the place to be!

The place is stunning with beautiful views of the lake, I love the kindness of this family, they were friendly and helpful all the time. I highly recommend staying in this place.

Had a great experience at Henry and Mariluz’s. The room was very cozy with a great view of the lake. Mariluz and Henry prepared lunch, dinner and breakfast for us and the food was very good. Henry took us to the temples of Pachamama and Pachatata where we were able to enjoy the views and the peacefulness of the island. The island is so quiet with amazing views that 24 hours felt way too short! We were also able to discuss with Mariluz and Henry to understand the life on the island, which was much appreciated and separates this experience from a regular hotel. Overall highly recommend to spend a night or more!

“An authentic and most relaxing couple of days on Amantani”

Wow! What an utterly incredible stay we had with Mariluz and Henri at Amantani Lodge. They are the most gracious and welcoming of hosts, and we can happily confirm that all the previous reviews we saw for Amantani Lodge were spot on. We received a very warm welcome and had breakfast and dinner with Mariluz and Henri (the food was plentiful, healthy and delicious)! We exchanged stories of our lives and families, and learned about life on Amantani. We arrived on a boat direct from Puno with Lago Tours, stopping off at Uros briefly. It is a bit of a climb from the port up to Amantani Lodge so we were glad to have left our main backpacks behind - and had packed for two nights with our essentials. For our return to Puno we took the hourly shuttle ferry back to the Peninsula of Capachica, and from there a collectivo to Puno, taking less than three hours in total. We were keen to hike to Pachamama and Pachatata and Mariluz kindly started us off in the right direction. What an amazing hike - we saw no other tourists; just local islanders herding their sheep, or leading a laden donkey along a pathway. We came away with the realisation that of our six months touring South America this was our most authentic experience. There are no cars on the island (and no dogs) so it is peaceful. We left a little piece of our hearts behind here ….. and would strongly recommend Amantani Lodge to anyone wishing to unplug from the world and enjoy the beautiful views and laidback life overlooking Lake Titicaca.

My stay at Amantani Lodge was outstanding. Henry and Mariluz provided exceptional hospitality and service, and the delicious meals were definitely a highlight. They were very accommodating and helped with all my transportation and other needs. The room was fantastic, featuring hot water, clean towels, comfortable mattresses, and cozy duvets that were perfect for the cold. The view was incredible, and I experienced the best starry sky of my life. All these elements combined made my stay at their lodge a dream, offering both comfort and warmth on the island. I highly recommend it! For reservations and logistics arrangements, I suggest contacting Henry directly. He is the best!

We had a fantastic time at Amantani Lodge. Henri and Mariluz were among the kindest people we've met on our travels—so warm, helpful, and welcoming. Mariluz's cooking was absolutely delicious, and we really enjoyed chatting with them over meals. The island itself is stunning, with a circular walk around it and two temples you can hike up to. There's also a charming little square where you can grab a coffee or a glass of wine. Since we decided not to book a tour, we were a bit unsure about how to get there. We ended up buying a one-way ticket from Uros Island, and on the way back, we took a 45-minute boat to Playa Chifron (they leave every hour from 5am)followed by a collectivo to Capachica, and then another to Juliaca. Henri and Mariluz helped us with it all. I’d definitely recommend visiting independently rather than with a tour!

“Excellent B&B with superb hosts”

Mariluis and Henri were amazing hosts who helped us in so many ways, and spent time chatting about themselves and their island. The room was very comfortable and food was simple but plentiful.

“An amazing experience, we were sad to leave!”

The best thing about our stay were the hosts, kind, friendly, willing to have long conversations with us despite our average levels of Spanish! They went irbid their way to make us feel really comfortable, the whole family were fantastic, they would make sure that we were heading in the right direction by sending a family member with us part of the way when we went to walk to the Pacha Mama and Pacha Tata. Mari Luz even walked us to the harbour on the day of our departure.

“Great stay on Amantani”

Lovely stay with a lovely family on Amantani. The room had a comfy bed, heating and a hot shower which was amazing for Amantani. The family were lovely and provided delicious meals. The location was great for us, close to the Plaza de Armas and a short but hard walk to the top of the island.

“Authentic, warm and peaceful stay with the loveliest family.”

Probably our favorite place in Peru so far! Henry and Mariluz were the loveliest, the most welcoming and attentive hosts and such a lovely family. We’ve never wished more to speak fluent Spanish, but with some basic knowledge we got along quite well. We learnt so much about the life on the island from them! They also prepared abundant and delicious meals for us and gave us snacks to go when necessary. Apart from that, the location is perfect since Incatiana is a quiet village, but still close to the main plaza and to both Patchamama and Patchatata which are a must-do for hikers! And the view from the terrace is stunning. Our room was well equipped and comfortable including a hot shower and loads of blankets – Henry even gave us an electric heater in case we got cold. To sum up, we stayed for two nights, but if we could, we would even extend our stay.

Had an incredibly memorable stay here with Henry & Mariluz. They will welcome you in their home with arms wide open and treat you like family. They are some of the nicest & kindest people I've ever met. It was so incredible learning about life on the island from them and eating amazing homemade meals by Mariluz. They took the time to pick us up at the port, walk us back and help us get on the boat, talk with us for hours at dinner and they even pulled out their telescope for us, so that we could see the full moon as well as some handmade traditional clothing that we could try on. Aside from their incredible hospitality, the rooms are nicely decorated & clean, and the property is in a great location, quite close to the ceremonial centers which we went to twice. Amantani is a really special place that was soooo fun to explore. We walked the entire island and absolutely loved how peaceful it was. It's an experience I highly recommend, and hold dear to me. Choose this place with these people and you won't regret it. The gratitude they express for staying with them is so touching and you will fall in love with the island & with them.

Comfortable lodgings, really lovely family cooked for us through our stay and helped us when we couldn't get access to a cashpoint. Bedroom was comfortable and peaceful. Great views over lake Titicaca. Would highly recommend if your looking for an authentic experience.
