Poor choice by my travel agent. Rated by Ben Box of footprints who gushes on how it has heating etc...only if you pay extra for one. Poor room with a view of windows within feet. Unable to shut and secure windows they simply don't match no matter how hard you try. Poor security. Noise from both outside and the water... more

We stayed at El Buho in August 2009. It was relatively clean, but cold. Initially, we booked a room with one double bed and two single beds so our family could stay together. We were given the price of 147 (~$50)Soles nightly. However, when we got there, they put us in 2 doubles and said we were given a special... more

Lovely spot, nice entry, we stayed on the third floor, with view of the plaza and cathedral bell tower. Queen bed, bedstands with good reading lamps, Cable TV, carpeted floor with washable rugs on top, fluffy towels, plenty of hot water, writing table and chair, good light. No Internet. Excellent location, next to the pedestrian street that runs from Plaza... more

Conveniently located in the heart of Punu near many restaurants, banks and a short drive to the lake. I stayed there right before the busy season and my rate was only $25 a night which included taxi pick up from the bus station (taxi was there waiting for me when I arrived), breakfast and internet. The staff was very accommodating... more

We went to hotel Buho because it was recommended in a travel guide, even though it was slightly over budget. We were extremely disappointed. The rooms are totally basic, relatively clean, and with comfortable beds. The staff at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The breakfast wasn't amazing, but did the do. What make it a disappointment was... more

We had booked this hotel for the 26th of October and arrived from an 8hr overnight bus trip from Cusco at 5am on the 26th of October and we were allowed to check into the hotel. Excellent service as they also arranged our bus out of Puno. Breakfast was included and was also great. Rooms and toilets were clean. more

I too stayed in Room 103, and actually requested it on subsequent stays. When a person complains that the bathroom towels are to large, then you might want to temper other criticisms. Coffee was excellent; it's just the way they serve in around Lake Titicaca, an espresso to which you add hot water or milk. Standards are of a three-story... more

My title just about sums up the whole experience. The lobby was old and foreboding, and gave us a bad impression from the get-go. Carmen, the woman at the desk with whom I had corresponded with to make the reservation, was friendly and welcoming, and turned out to be wonderful and extremely helpful during our stay. Our room - 103... more
