We liked everything

We had a wonderful stay at VIP Flotante. Lina and Leonardo made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to help us have a wonderful time on the uros islands. The room was very clean and cozy. The decor was very nice and traditional and we had everything we needed to be comfortable. They also cooked us lovely food and even helped us organise some tours. The nights were chilly so they prepared us hot water bottles which was very kind. A wonderful stay and a great way to really get to know the Uros islands!

I wish we had stayed longer

Wow! I'm so grateful to have spent time in this beautiful place with an amazing family. If you want to see the Uros please do NOT book a tour book night here with Leonardo and Lina instead. There are such lovely people and offer tours themselves so you can discover their culture in a more private way and the money goes directly to a Uros family. We went on a kayak tour and were able to discover the whole village ourselves at our own pace which was great. The room was really comfortable, the view amazing and the food tasty. Lina, Leonardo and their children are great people happy to share about their culture. I feel really privileged to have spent time with them. One thing to note is that they live off grid, you only have USB ports in the room, the water pressure is low and it's a dry toilet. But they have managed to make it really comfortable anyway. We were surprised to even have hot water when we didn't have any in a hotel in town.

Once in a lifetime experience! Leonardo, Lina and their children welcomed us into their home and showed us how they live. They arranged all transport for us and we had a great communication via WhatsApp. They showed us around the islands, made us delicious breakfast and dinner, explained about their community and answered all our curious questions. The houses are spacious, the beds are comfortable and the view is truly spectacular. Thank you once again for the hospitality, it was great meeting you!

Care of owners (thanks!!!) and excellent communication via whats up. They explained us how they live and arranged two nice boat trips around Uru islands and to Taquille island, so we were able to see real life of native people. They cooked for us also lunch and dinner, sold water. We could park car in port.

The blankets were warm but heavy!

A superb and unusual location literally in the Titicaca sea. The accommodation floats on a reed "island" which makes for an interesting experience. It gives a one a good insight into how the "Urus" people live on the lake and how they cope with everyday life. Good meals provided by the owner and family who also arranged trips around the area. Bear in mind that this is a glimpse into how these friendly people live and not a luxury location. The facilities are basic but very reasonable given the area you're staying in. Hot water bottles and plenty of blankets are provided for the surprisingly cold nights. Plenty of sun cream and protection required for the intense sunshine during the day.

It was a wonderful experience. Definitely cold at night but the hosts were wonderful and provided us with hot water bags to keep us warm in bed. Such a great way to spend time on the Uros.

The view, the quiet, the charming hosts

The toilet is without running water, which is something to get used to. And for getting around, you are dependent on the hosts and boats. These are two minor things, that have to be thought of when booking an accommodation on the islands.

Very friendly and comforting hosts, nice view from the middle of the lake, wholesome breakfast and dinner, nice service regarding getting around on a boat and booking a tour to taquile easily. All in all we had a great and relaxing stay, highly recommended

We wish we were informed that there are additional fees and cost to get from Puno to the property. It’s cheap but I would recommend it is included in the final price.

The rooms were very clean and had a wonderful view. Leo, the owner, and his family were very helpful during our stay and provided us with everything we needed.

Booking.com seems not coordinating with host about the extra tax/commission, we were charged more than the non-tax price as the web page claims.

Special experience; the host gave us hot water pack for warming in the night which is helpful.

Excellent staff. Beautiful place.

Be prepared for a freezing night :)

Lina and Leonardo are wonderful people and so was the stay with them in their floating hotel. The place is just breathtaking and worth every minute spent there. We only had a late evening and had to leave early in the morning so were worried if it makes sense to have a night on the lake - ended up on a romantic sunset boat ride towards the room as Lina picked us up, had a wonderful view from the room of the opposite hills and then very nice homemade dinner with the family. In the morning Lina made pancakes for us and with a foggy sunrise she dropped us back to the port. I recommend this special experience to everyone visiting Puno! Of course it's not a 5* hotel, but you will remember it 1000x more.

This was, without a doubt, the best accommodation experience I've had in Peru. The owner of the property is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere in this place is truly family-like, which made my stay even more special. The service was exceptionally professional, and the house owner takes great care of the guests. I highly recommend this place, and I will always remember the sunset on the termach

Nothing, very satisfied

Lina and Leonardo know how to make you feel at homw, they offer you a very nice stay on their floating island in a private and well equipped room, with private bathroom. The night is a little bit cold, but the bed is warm enough thanks to blankets and to the hot water bottle, offered by Lina the evening before. They offer you also some pics in typical Uros clothes and they make you know the whole family, including a dog and a cat. Very good local dinner too and breakfast was full of options and good fruits! Before leaving, they gave us also a handmade gift, showing us how much welcoming a hosting family. Easy to chat with them on whatsapp, pick up well organized at Puno pier (included in the price). The day after we had to leave early and it was not a problem at all.

The rooms had amazing views and it was very cozy. The family that runs the place was incredibly lovely and gave us all the support to arrange day trips in puno and to organise our arrival. Even though it was very cold when we arrived, they took great care of making it comfortable and the food was truly amazing. ❤️

Lina who owns and run it is truly amazing she is driving the boat that pick you up from the port, the chef who makes your food and managing the little farm on the island together with her daughters and husband. To the family includes a dog, a cat , a few hens and a pig too. All very nice and helpful.

Its truly an experience, quite simple living standard but we had all we needed and it’s possible to add extra heating to the house.

Water pipes frozen in the morning so had to use bottled water for hand wash - minor issue!

It is an amazing, peaceful, beautiful location. There was enough room for our family of 5 (inc 3 x giant teenagers). The food was good, bit too much for us! The hosting family were friendly and chatty, there was a very calm friendly dog. It was a fab experience and we felt privileged. Loved the hot water bottles!

It was absolutely freezing at night, dropping to -4. Although blankets and hot water bottles were provided it was still very cold. There were also lots of additional costs as there is not really anywhere to go to get lunch/ dinner and there is little to do during the day - we kayaked which was 80 soles each for 2 hours max. Personally I did find it a little uncomfortable being sold things by the family, as a honestly it’s hard to avoid but it does mean you’re feel more inclined to buy things which wasn’t my thing, although some of the products were pretty. overall it is a lovely experience but is very expensive for what it is, and it is cold!

it is unique in that it is situation on the lake on a floating island. We were picked up by a taxi arranged by the property and dropped at a small port where we were picked up by boat by the owner. The trip to the property over the lake was beautiful and it was a great start to the trip. We did have to pay 5 soles each as a toll fee to enter lots uros which we were not aware of. The rooms were cosy and warm in the day and the showers were modern. The toilet was a compost toilet. The breakfast was lovely and was predominantly, pancakes, fruit, hot drinks, bread and jam. Dinner and lunch were provided for an extra 30 soles each and soft drinks and water were also about 8 soles each. The family were lovely

The comment has nothing to do with the hosts as they do not control the weather but make sure to bring warm clothes as it gets very cold at night. But you can ask for a heater.

Leo and his wife are amazing hosts, very friendly. They will cater for all your needs. The room is very specious and cosy. The food is qualitative. The view from the room is great.

There is no a proper bathroom in the place, but it's a different experience to share with your friends. You should try it once in your life!

I like the whole view of the sunset (it's kind romantic) and also the place its well located. I appreciate the good care of Sra. Lina, she treats us well and she gave us a plastic container fullfil with hot water so we could rest well because it was really freezing in the morning. However, for me i can say that it's a place to disconnect from your daily routine, but you should go ready with an extra battery charger.

No words could describe the amazing atmosphere present at this place. Our host and his family went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and were always there if we needed anything. Be prepared for the cold at night but the stunning sunset and sunrise will keep your body and spirit warm.
