“Perfect quite place at Lake Titicaca”

I came here for rest and some days at Lake Titikaka. Guido, the owner is such a lovely and kind person and I felt very welcomed here. There have been some other travellers I met. There is lunch and dinner and donkeys and Guidos children around. You have your space but also be part of the family. Thank you Guido.

“Incredible! Thank you so much.”

Food was amazing, the family were so lovely. We loved our room and the location was perfect. Thank you so much for having us.

Stay on the lac without being in puno, nice family, all good.

“Real Peru family experience”

This was one of the wonderful stay we ever had. This is real family guest house where you go for experience not for luxury. Although equipped with basics you have on a hotel, the place, the family and the feeling this wonderful place and people gave you is impossible to get elsewhere. Natural home made food, beautiful view of TitiKaka lake from the room, warm owners and their 4 children all make you feel part of Peru real community life. Nice fishing and hiking activities. I would recommend anytime Guido’s family for this unique experience.

Great location directly at the lake. Very familiar atmosphere.

“Perfect, magical place”

EVERYTHING! This was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever done during years of travelling. Luquina and its community are a very special place, surrounded by peace and nature. Guido and his lovely family are extremely welcoming and they always give suggestions on activities to do inside or outside the community. Communication is very clear and we loved spending time with them. This gives you a great chance to see what real life around Titicaca like it’s like. Food is home cooked and everything was absolutely delicious and for a very fair price. I can’t recommend this place enough and, if I could, I would go back there right now! Muchas gracias para todo Guido!

“A very special way to experience Lake Titicaca away from the crowds.”

Our stay here was a very special and memorable experience. Guido and his family are welcoming and wonderful hosts, and we felt completely welcome in their home. Our room was very comfortable and clean with an amazing view, Guido organised fabulous activities - a walk up the hill with his daughter to watch the sunset, helping the family to plant potatoes, and a return boat trip to Puno via Taquile Island. Best of all he organised a private trip to a very small Uros Island where we were almost the only visitors - a complete contrast to what we had heard about the islands being very commercial. However it was useful to know some Spanish for this trip.

“Great stay waking up in front of Titicaca lake”

Breakfast was delicious and it was flexible regarding the time. There are not really any restaurants there, so we were thankful that the host cooked for us for a good price (lunch and dinner for 15 dollars a person) - she cooked very good and 3 courses each time. Vegetarian option available. The parking spot was great, directly in front of the house. The room was very big and comfortable, the bed was nice and we had a lot of blankets to be warm during the night. The view is amazing, directly next to Titicaca lake. Bathroom was good with a shower (and bathtub) and warm water. WiFi was great. We didn't have that much contact to the hosts and children like other reviews but they were very nice.

“An authentic stay with a beautiful family - amazing.”

Great first impression when Guido met us at the road and took our heavy bags down the hill. The room is absolutely stunning. Amazing view of the lake and llama - the only one in the village! Very clean and lots of bedsheets to keep warm. Hot shower, working toilet and all very clean. Guido sorted all of our day trips including Uros Islands, Kayaking and fishing. They gave us hot water bottles when it got really cold which was very thoughtful. His family were all so friendly and did their best to sit with us and accommodate our every need even with a small language barrier. Food exceeded our expectations, definitely in quantity! They accommodated for our veggie diet and we were completely stuffed after every meal, usually 2-3 courses at lunch and dinner. We particularly enjoyed the homemade soups and rice pudding dessert. Couldn’t recommend enough if you want an authentic experience of life on and around the lake.

“A fabulous and authentic family run hostelery. Delicious food and the best people we met in our travels.”

We liked everything from the fantastic location. The wonderful welcome from Guido and his lovely family and the delicious meals they prepared and served.

I had a comfortable room with an amazing view over the lake. Every detail was taken care of, such as a hot water bottle every night to keep me warm during the cold winter nights in addition to many layers of blankets, and vegan options for breakfast and dinner. Luquina is a quiet and relaxing place away from the tourist bustle of Puno. Go hiking in the hills and make sure to do a kayak ride on the lake.

“Great, real and beautiful expierence!”

Beautiful stay on the Titicaca shore with agruculure expireneces included in price! The room was very clean and lovely, with lake view. Good internet, hot water ( that's not so obvious in Peru). Very teasty breakfast. Next to the lodge there are animals like lama and donkey that you can interact with. The owner took as to dig out some patatos with help of lama, what was great. We also had a little excursion on the tradicional boat with the owner. The owner also has a selecion of colorful tradicional clothes that you can try on :)

“Short stay but intense experience. Highly recommended!”

We spent only one night in Luquina, but the room was good size, clean and comfortable. The bathroom had hot water, soap and clean towels. But what we most liked, was the hospitality of Guido, his wife Sara and his lovely three girls. Guido organised everything for us and all went smoothly. We only stayed half day, but we managed to visit one of the Uros island, we did kayaking and we had lunch and time for relax. Definitely recommended.

“Tranquil and unique stay”

It’s such a tranquil stay with crystal Titcaca water few meters away and beautiful mountain at the background. It’s also a unique experience of local’s life. Guido is a thoughtful and genuine host. Sarah cooks amazing meals. The kids are lovely! At the garden there are fresh veggies and farm there’s even an alpaca! Just mind that you need to be an hour on taxi from Puno to get there but it’s worth it. Also, if you suffer from altitude sickness, maybe tell them to cook less fried food. The fried dough in the morning are delicious, but also the boiled veggies and quinoa soups!

“A must stay if you visit Lake Titicaca!”

Beautiful location, wonderful friendly hosts who could not do enough for you. Generous meals with hot drinks available all day. Large rooms with comfortable beds. We were spoilt- Guido gave us hot water bottles every night and even made me a cake on my birthday!

“Off the beaten path, simple rooms and very caring owner who organized off the beaten path activities. Recommended”

Far away from Puno city, in quiet local village. Host made efforts to organize tours that were less touristy, and for excellent prices.

“Fantastic stay! Not to be missed.”

Amazing place to stay. Right on the edge of the lake in a perfect setting. The room was spotlessly clean and had wonderful views over the lake - complete with llama and a cow. We were invited to join in with shepherding the sheep and llama to their daily grazing fields along the shores of the lake. We also enjoyed shelling beans and visiting a local, annual fiesta! The family are very welcoming and helpful if anything is needed. Food was excellent. This stay was a real slice of local life and we loved it all. Guido took us out kayaking which was great fun and also arranged for a boat to visit the Uros floating islands. Other trips and activities were available. Guido arranged our transport from Puno and back again. We stayed 3 nights and highly recommend a stay here!

Incredible host!

“The best way to experience Lake Titicaca; unique and authentic!”

Words can not describe how excellent this experience with Guido and his family was. Throughly feeling part of the family and their goal to make everything fabulous in details. The activities and food were great and made sure we could have the beste experience ever to imagine at Lake Titicaca. Even going into the city of Puno, which is save, Guido made sure a taxi was arranged and I could easily and more importantly savely go back to the hotel/lodge. I will definitely return one day! Once again many thanks for having us over and all that you have done for us.

We spent the days over Christmas Eve at this beautiful accommodation at the lake Titicaca. The whole family was welcoming and very friendly. It was perfect, especially the local culture and freshly prepared food. We felt like being part of the family and would defenetily recommend staying here if you would like to get in touch with the locals.
