Staff was terrific. Travelers got separated and staff here helped both parties. The one who hiked got caring aid - food, information about other travelers options, offers to help with communication. The one who did not hike got excellent information on how to meet up in another town on the following day. Staff kept in touch after. Food was abundant and delicious.
Truly recommend to stay at Chaullay Salkantay Hostel during your Salkantay trek. The place has exceeded our expectations (especially after other lodges during the trek). The rooms are a great standard and provide real comfort, they are clean with towels and soaps. We had a room with a private bathroom which was clean, convenient and with an amazing shower (all you wish for during the trek!). The beds are very comfortable and it’s a proper building, sheltering you from the cold and wind, letting us finally have a good night’s sleep. The stunning views on the valley are an added extra. The staff is extremely kind, both Manuel and other hosts (and they speak English). They even greatly took care of my boyfriend when he was feeling the altitude sickness. The dinner and breakfast were also the best on the trek. Truly recommend and thank you!

Reservamos Habitación Confort doble, patio, vistas a la montaña. Resultado? Llegar los primeros y aun asi nos dieron una habitacion interior con vistas a una pared de ladrillos. El baño no olia bien y por la mañana nos despertó el olor a humo del fuego (mala ventilacion)
