Hotels in Peru

It was just PERFECT. From the moment you enter the hotel you feel the warm welcome from the whole staff. The room is simply amazing, amenities are incredible, breakfast is absolutely stunning and last, the spa / treatment was super super super. Definitely will be back! thanks <3

Awesome experience staying at this lodge. Joel, Lucy and family are a superb host making sure we are comfortable and enjoying ourselves .

The view of the Gocta waterfall is beautiful, the rooms are cozy and the breakfast was delicious

This property is amazing! Such a beautiful and peaceful area, the accommodation was very comfortable, clean, and luxurious. Breakfast was made to order by an onsite cook. Bathroom was nice and clean, soap is provided. Location is great - right beside the trail leading to the Gocta waterfall. All in all I highly recommend.

Personal service where literally nothing is too much trouble. Pretty much everything has been thought of to make your stay both relaxing and unique - and in the unlikely event that you need anything extra it will be provided with a smile and a flourish. Manager Roger manages to combine exemplary youthful energy and a friendly, charismatic demeanour with absolute professionalism and a customer service ethic that very, very few properties at any price point manage to deliver wherever they are in the world. He taught our daughter how to cook traditional Peruvian huancaina pasta sauce, talked for ages with our football-mad son about the history of local favourite club Cienciano de Cusco, got up at 4am to pack hot scrambled eggs and ham & cheese sandwiches into breakfast bags when we set off before dawn to hike to Machu Picchu, accompanied us on an impromptu guided walking tour to a local hummingbird sanctuary when we found ourselves with a spare afternoon, and personally escorted half our group 15km to Ollantaytambo railway station when our plans unexpectedly changed and the group had to split up. I cannot overstate the effort and creativity Roger put in to making sure that every aspect of the stay was perfect (nor how rare that is these days). The rooms (or “domes”) are every bit as comfortable and well-appointed as a high-end four- or five-star hotel room. Every one has a private garden and terrace, as well as an exterior hot tub that Roger will fill and set up for you whenever you want. There are only six domes in all, and the clever way they are laid out in the immaculate gardens (complete with hummingbirds), means it feels like you essentially have the place to yourself. The view from the beautifully furnished panoramic dining room that dominates the Sacred Valley is superb. The same can be said about everything we ate and drank at Miski Samay, all of which was expertly prepared fresh for us by Roger himself or his outstanding chef.

The place really gives you a welcoming and homely feeling and the food in the restaurant was honestly some of the best we had in Peru! The staff is extremely kind, professional and attentive. Special greetings to Hugo. You can really sense in every detail that the owners have fulfilled their dream here. Our room was spacious, well-equipped, and honestly spotless. All organized trips and transfers fully met our expectations. They've also prepared a nice snack-box for our trip to Machu Picchu. Don’t miss the evenings by the campfire with the owner – he shares valuable insider tips and interesting tales & stories about the region. We truly fell in love with this place (and the alpacas!) and will be happy to return on our next trip to Peru. We wish the hosts Louis and Silvia all the best for the future.

The host was very accommodating and helped organize transport to and from the trailhead to choquequirao. The price was really good for what we got and they made us a large dinner as well for 15 soles. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to do the choquequirao trek.

Nice quiet location, good hot shower, gave us chocolate and water when we arrived 😊. Owners speak English and very helpful with things too see in the area.

After 4 weeks travelling around Peru we came to El Samay and it was just perfect. From the warm welcome from Marianne when we arrived to the moment we left it was the best way to spend 4 nights of peace and quiet in the most beautiful setting. The staff were all fantastic, Veronica was on the end of whatsap should we need any help with absolutely anything and we were very sad to leave this morning. The area is super peaceful - perfect to unwind, swim in the sea and the beautifully clean pool and to just sit on our balcony watching humpback whales ( I saw 7 in three days - keep your eyes peeled ) was magical. The food was great , being brought a 7.30am coffee each morning was such a treat and I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again for a wonderful few days.

Location, style, history, breakfast

The place is beautiful, they take care of the plants very well and the staff is very helpful. Coffee was great.
