    Unique and beautiful property, situated with a wonderful view of the lake. The staff were extremely helpful. Everything is thought of to make it a special stay, hammocks, hot tub, kitchen area, fire, games, instruments, books, water etc. Wish we had longer to stay and relax and enjoy the property.

    Leaving.

    This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in- incredibly unique, which is thanks to the brilliant design and skill of the wonderful and kind German owner Martin. He couldn't have been more helpful or nice to us. We also had the opportunity to stay in the tower room which was unforgettable. He is such a talented guy to create this. Amazing value given what he has built.

    Nothing to declare, it was all so perfect.

    Martin is a passionate and amazing host. He speaks fluently German English and French and is generous with his time and great energy, to explain many things of the city, the area, and even about the universe he has created for Las Olas. Everything about this place is mesmerising and thought through. We felt right at home in our Tortuga, with a fire wood waiting for us every evening, and even umbrellas in our room in case of rain! When a place feels right, it all comes down to the minute details, and Martin and his ever so smiley team have nailed every aspect of what homy and comfort are supposed to look and feel like. We wish we could take this place in our pocket and continue to live here to admire the view for the rest of our travels. Very sad to be leaving this place, 200% recommended by us. It felt like an adventure of its own. We would come back to Bolivia just to live in this microcosm again ❤️

    Nothing! If it was me I would probably put some bubble bath in the room for the guests (as finding this in Bolivia was impossible haha) but honestly we can’t complain.

    We stayed in the spa bath room and we couldn’t believe our luck. What a gorgeous stay. Had a cute little kitchen area and fridge storage in the common area (perfect for cooking for ourselves after food poisoning)

    The shower spout didn't work well - which we passed onto the staff.

    We loved our stay at Hostal Las Olas! The room and bed was very comfortable and absolutely beautiful. The view was fabulous and we enjoyed the jacuzzi and fireplace when it became cold. The staff were also quite helpful and kitchen handy to use. It was a great place to spend our time acclimatising to the altitude and base to explore the islands.

    Lack of fridge (perhaps this was in the common area, but we didn't check). We didn't necessarily need a fridge, it just meant we didn't purchase any such food or milk. It didn't ruin our stay though.

    The uniqueness of the buildings & surrounding grounds. Such an amazing & fun place. Felt special being there. Plus the alpacas roaming the grounds was incredible. Highly recommend!

    Such a wacky, fun hostel with amazing suites. We loved our 2 level suite with comfortable seating area downstairs and the bed upstairs. It was great to have our own kettle and cooking things in case we wanted a meal in. The staff were great!

    Location. The hotel's advantage is also its disadvantage. It's located on top of the hill with giant stairs leading up to it. The bus transfer dropped me off at the main square and I had to drag my suit case all the way to the base of the hostel, then had to bring it up the giant stairs. Given the altitude, it was not an easy task. In addition, the relentless afternoon sun made the whole arrival and departure experience really exausting.

    I think my experience to the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca would not have been complete without staying at the Las Olas. It was magnificent! My room had a glorious view of the lake - the best of all in surrounding area. Notwithstanding the enormous size of the room, everything was spotlessly clean. It had an amazing bathroom with hot shower, well-stocked kitchen with gas-powered oven (I could cook real meals if I wanted to), clean comfortable bed. The design of the room and hotel in general deserves recognition - it's very different and a lot of fun to explore. Friendly staff, held my suitcase after check-out.

    We spent two nights here - initially just booked one night but then stayed another night. They were very accommodating, allowing us to check into another room straight after check out from the first room. Both rooms were beautiful and clean with great views and comfortable beds. The hotel property itself is very pretty and only 10 mins walk from the centre. Would definitely recommend.
