Incroyable !

Rien à redire c’était parfait ! La vue est incroyable, la chambre joliment décorée, le lit très confortable, la douche à de l’eau très chaude en abondance et le dîner et le petit-déjeuner sont incroyables (on a jamais aussi bien mangé en trek, encore merci). C’est incontournable si vous faites le Salkantay !

Great views and amazing food, don´t miss to stay here!

Stunning views into the valley and Machu Picchu directly from the bed. Lovely cottages with private bathroom and shower with hot water. Really friendly staff! The food was amazing, 3 course dinner where you could chose between options. The breakfast was amazing as well with pancakes, fresh juices, local coffee, and so on. Definitely worth to stay here!

Best lodge on the Salkantay trek

This was our favorite hotel of the Salkantay trek. It has beautiful spotlessly clean rooms with big glass windows and amazing views of the surrounding mountains and Machu Picchu. Even the bathroom in our room had a huge window with views. There are lots of great lawn chairs to sit in and enjoy the view. The dinner and breakfast were amazing! The food was cooked by a trained chef. He also cooked us lunch when we arrived with no notice and even though he said he only had enough for 2, there was more than enough for all 5 of us (and he only charged us for 2!). The showers are hot and have good water pressure. There is no WiFi but it is not needed with the views. Highly recommend to stay here and split the trek from Lucmabamba to Aguas Calientes into 2 days so you have time to enjoy it - we had the whole afternoon and could have spent longer there! Best value for money of the whole trek!

Best option for third night of Salkantay trek.

Best option for third night of Salkantay Trek. Even if the third day from Chaullay to Llactapata are very challanging 26 km it´s worth every effort. View to Machupicchu is amazing, even directly out of bed. Room has big glass front. Dinner and Breakfast was the best one we got during our whole Trek. 24 h hot shower.

everything was good.

If view is your motivation, don't bother. Otherwise, double check the booking at least.

I'm glad I stayed the night instead of choosing to climb the mountain just to go back down straight away

We didn't know when we'd arrive so only booked that morning. With booking confirmed we proceeded to climb up to the lodge, only to find they actually had no space for us. This was concerning as there wasn't really any other option by this point. Another couple also had the same dilemma. Thankfully they were able to put together something in a spare room, but it had big windows and no curtains, and also meant having to use the shared toilet. So first lesson is to be sure to have a confirmation by private message. The view was overrated. Machu Picchu is visible on the distance, but only as a grey blur unless you have some good binoculars or camera with good telescope. Second lesson is not to bother staying if the view is your motivation. You could maybe stop for a snack, enjoy it for a minute at best and then continue. Food was good portion sizes, though greasy, which doesn't go well with an already upset stomach.

Great place with a view on the Machu Picchu

The view from the private double room is unbelievable ! It' snot every night you can see the Machu Picchu from your bed ! The bathroom was super clean and the water for the shower was very hot (amazing after a long day of hiking).

The check-in was a bit chaotic, we got disappointed by the diner and the breakfast. It's not bad but it could have been better. Some friends who thought booked via Booking but it didn't work,ended up sleeping in one single bed in some kind of "room" with no toilets or shower, so not cool...

Amazing food, amazing view.

The food was the best of the whole hike, and the view from the room was best we've ever experienced! Highly recommend visiting.

The walls of the room were very thin so we could hear the people next door.

The location here is incredible. If you're planning the Salkantay trek and you're not planning on staying here, change your itinerary so you stay at least one night here. You will get to see the sun rise and set over Machu Picchu set amongst the mountains. All the rooms have a view of Machu Picchu from the beds. Service is incredible, with the best food we had on the trek. The rooms were also extremely clean and cozy. I can't say enough nice things about the family that runs this lodge, they are so thoughtful and worked extremely hard to make sure everyone enjoyed their stay.

Amazing accommodation - fully recommended

Amazing location with stunning view at the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu. You can observe the sunrise above Machu Picchu from your bed. The host family is very kind and helpful. They built this great complex themselves in the middle of jungle. Both dinner and breakfast menu was delicious of super quality. Thanks. a lot, Felixe and Gisela!

Some hooks for clothes in the room and a mirror would be helpful.

Magical

This hotel is about 3 hours uphill of the town Lucabamba. My husband and I did a self-guided Salkantay hike and we stayed here on the third night before we hiked down to the hidroelectric station and along the train tracks to Machu Picchu the next day. This was both of ours favorite hotel of the whole trip. It's got the most amazing views in Peru plus nothing sounded better than a beer and lunch after hiking uphill in the humid jungle for hours. Most hikers we met chose to just pass through Llactapata but you will not regret staying here. The food was some of the best we had in Peru as well.

The shower didn't have a curtain so water got everywhere in the bathroom. There was one skinny tree that just happen to block my view.

The location and view from the lodge is just fantastic. We came from Salkantay and this was one of the trek were comfortable and food was plenty and good.

Only suggestion is to add shower curtains in the bathrooms.

We strongly recommend a stay at Llactapata Lodge.

The family running the lodge was kind and friendly. They went out of their way to make our stay fun and comfortable. The view was amazing, and the food was excellent, and the shower was hot! The owner even met up with us in Cusco to return a shirt I left behind.

A very unique place

Llactapapa Lodge is a wonderful place. Cabins are comfortable and clean, meals delicious, the view over the Machu Picchu and the surrounding mountains is breathtaking, but we would recommend it the most for the hospitality, and kindness we received from Felix's family. It's a paradise for mountains and nature's lovers. We arrived to Llactapapa going up from Hydroelectrica, we couldn't find a lot of infos about the trail. So in you case you are wondering, it's not difficult at all, we did it in 2h00 under light rain and with backpacks :)

Everything was more than perfect.

A Must-Stay on the Salkantay

We loved everything about the lodge! The hike up is challenging (but manageable), but it is well worth it once you see the view and experience the warmth and hospitality of the staff. Our room was clean, the shower was hot, the food was excellent (and plentiful). And the view! Nowhere else in the world will you be able to wake up with such a view of Machu Picchu. My friend and I got a little homesick when we saw the lodge in the distance from Machu Picchu this morning. Many people seem deterred by the uphill walk- don’t be one of them! Our stay here was absolutely perfect.

This is my own fault- we only booked one night. Stay two nights and enjoy the property, nearby ruins, and solitude. Make the long walk worth your while!

A view to die for! Fantastic hosts and great tasting food in large quantities! Room was comfortable and, again, that view!

Nothing not to like except for maybe the tough hike up the mountain!
