What guests loved the most

“The location is amazing and the property is beautiful. All the Staff offers the best service. They try to be so helpful and everybody is kind and professional. Unfortunately food for dinner is terrible. Menu options were poor and Chef repeated the same menu two nights in a row. Manager was never there so it was hard to deal with specific situations where management input was required.”

“The facilities were good. Hotel really well located and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Nice bar and cocktails.”

, United Kingdom

“Location right beside the Colca River. The glassed in thermal baths. The hotel was a glorious retreat with a great feeling of privacy. The buildings were architecturally interesting and very tastefully decorated.”

, Australia

“El Refugio was absolutely gorgeous and the staff was super accommodating. We arrived very early to the hotel, and they allowed us to check in early. They also arranged an amazing private tour for us for a great price. The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot, the hot springs were nice, and the heater worked well (we came in Peruvian wintertime). We also saw two condors flying outside of the hotel which was really cool! There is a resident alpaca who is very cute as well.”

, USA

“The breakfast was wonderful, the rooms were very comfortable and good hot water for showers. At night the staff put a hot water bottle at the foot of the bed and there was also a portable heater in the room. It was out by itself but a short taxi ride to Chivay.”

, USA

“We liked the staff, the idea and look of place was nice.”

, Peru

“If you want a quiet away from it all hotel, this is a great place to stay. The staff were friendly and one employee tried her hardest to help book tours and activities. The food was adequate. The hotel had its own hot springs pool. It was lovely to spend time there, a nice free feature. The room was located on the upper level and has huge. There was a lovely view of the canyon which the hotel was locate in.”
