Las Ruinas de Quinara aka Casa de Mauricio: AVOID THE PLACE ! A EVITER D'URGENCE !

When I was in Vilcabamba, I was told about this hotel that was far from being unanismously recommended by everybody around. People from the village itself or other tourism professionals agreed on the bad fame of this hotel, Las Ruinas de Quinara aka Casa de Mauricio. This was mostly a consequence of its owner’s behaviour, who terrorizes the neighbourhood. In order to attract more travelers to his hotel, the owner does not hesitate to lie about the reputation and the quality of the other hotels, who are more than respectable, or, at least, try and do their work with honesty : a lot of people who have been to Las Ruinas de Quinara complained about thefts and struggles, sudden changes in the prices and bad maintenance of the rooms. Everything can be checked in Vilcabamba’s tourist office. The situation has also been described recently in some guidebooks, among which the Lonely Planet Guidebook.

Pour resumer le petit speech ci-dessus, cet hotel descend la reputation des autres hotels pour offrir un service de qualite tres mediocre, sans parler des vols qui y ont lieu, ainsi que les affrontements avec les clients, lies aux intempestifs et soudains changements de prix decretes par l'horrible proprio du coin. Meme le guide du LonelyPlanet a pris note de l'information et l'a a joutee dans sa derniere edition. Un endroit a eviter a tout prix.

Izhcayluma: For the food, yes ! Pour la bouffe, ca le fait ! Hosteria Izhcayluma Review

OK, I have not stayed in this really nice place, two kilometers away from the center of Vilcabamba, but I have lunched over there (around 4 USD) and it was reeeeeaaally good !! The view from up there is incredible...

Bon, je ne suis pas reste dans l'hotel en lui-meme, qui se trouve a deux kilometres du centre de Vilcabamba, mais je suis alle manger la-bas, et c'etait super bon, pour environ 4 USD (et copieux !). La vue sur la vallee vaut le coup.

Comparison: more expensive than average

Directions: Ask in town

Demandez au village
