Trip Advisor comments looked great for this hotel, so we booked two rooms for a night stay after visiting Machu Picchu. Arrived to find they had only one of our rooms reserved even though I showed them the copies of my 50% payment to their Bank of America account for two rooms and e-mails confirming that we were two people... more

After reading the Lonely Planet reviews on this hotel, quite honestly, I hadn't even considered staying here but after it was recommended by a local friend in Cuzco, we decided to give it a try. Bottom line is that Lonely Planet was wrong. This hotel is adorable, clean and very unique. The service was excellent. Granted, we arrived at night... more

We apparently did it backwards of most people visiting Machu Picchu. We took the early train from Ollantaytambo, went to the ruins, stayed overnight in Aguas Calientes and left on a late morning train the next day. We booked our rooms a month or so in advance. Email communication was a little spotty at first and I wasn't too crazy... more

Visited Machu Picchu in October and after reading the reviews, decided to go for the "charming/quaint" factor and booked 2 nights here. The entire set up was charming at first sight but once you're installed in your room - you discover that its dark, cramped, poor finishing (wooden floors/walls had splinters and exposed nails)bathrooms a little dingy with not really... more

We decided to stay in Aguas Calientes one night after hiking the Incan Trail to ensure we had two days to see Machu Picchu in case the weather was bad the first day. We loved our tree house at Rupa-Wasi. The room was nice and clean (we did not have a problem with hot water like I saw in other... more

The rooms are full of mosquitos and very muggy -- there was no fan, which would have been a much appreciated amenity. The walls are paper thin and we were able to hear our neighbors and all the revelry from the tree house restaurant adjoining the hotel well into the night. I did not think that RW was worth the... more

This was the most expensive place that we stayed at during our two-week trip to Peru, and it was the only one where we had problems getting hot water. Typically, this would be no big deal. However, we'd been on the Inca trail for 4 days without showering and were REALLY looking forward to a hot shower. Otherwise no complaints!... more

Well, this hotel/lodge was the best of the trip to Peru. Our main objective was to see Machu Picchu and I found this lodge online. I really had no idea what to experience. We had only been in Peru for 1 day before we arrived at the Rupa Wasi. I don't think our lungs were ready to hike the stairs... more

This lodge is a gem indeed as it is very good value for money. The rooms are freshing and it is a much better decision to stay somewhere like this, especially when visiting Machu Picchu, rather than a generic hotel. They serve scrumptious food in their restaurant, and although at western prices, you are in a for a treat if... more
