be prepared for cold water.

Beautiful property with a great staff. Nestled in a neighborhood the location was isolated yet connected.

Although we liked it all, visitors should be aware that the place is close to the water so at night there will be bugs all around, they were not annoying to us tho :)

Lorena, the host, was amazing and made us feel at home every day while we were there. Breakfast was tasty and they were preparing it earlier than usual as we had early morning tours. We felt very connected with the nature and spent amazing days.

Best host! We were only there for a night before our Amazon trip but couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. They were very friendly and accommodating. Took the time to show us around town and recommendations for places to eat. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Neighbours still play loud music.

The hosts were exceptionally, they welcomed me like family, were really available and flexible and accompanied me on trips o wanted to do to the jungle. The food was great thay they prepared. Excellent English language skills. The lodge is covered in paintings as they are both artists which made it feel full of life. The rooms was clean and cleaned regularly. It was relatively quiet compared to Iquitos but still close to Iquitos and the airport. Fan was provided. Mostly I was just blown away by the hosts themselves, wonderful and caring people.

While the hotel offers tranquility and fresh air along the river, it’s worth noting that it’s located a bit farther from the center of town. For us, this was a major plus, as the town center can be noisy and filled with tuk-tuk traffic. Here, you’re closer to the peaceful forest and can truly appreciate the natural surroundings. On one of the nights we stayed, there was a celebration happening nearby, which brought some noise. It felt like an out-of-the-ordinary occurrence rather than something to expect regularly. If you’re looking for a super modern, luxury hotel, this may not fit that bill, but if you’re after an authentic, family-run, rustic jungle experience, it doesn’t get better than this. The warmth, care, and thoughtful details offered by Pablo and his family more than make up for any minor inconveniences.

Staying at this family-run hotel in Iquitos was a truly special experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by Pablo and his family, whose kindness and hospitality are unforgettable. The property is perfectly situated away from the hustle and bustle of town, offering a peaceful retreat with fresh air and breathtaking views of the Amazon River and jungle. The hammocks overlooking the river became our favorite spot to relax and watch the sunset — an experience that felt magical. The rooms are simple, with rustic wooden finishes that give an authentic local feel. Pablo went above and beyond to make our stay seamless, from helping with our bags to driving us to the airport at 5 a.m. with a smile. It’s rare to find this level of care in hospitality, and it truly made our stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for an immersive, local experience with heartwarming family hospitality, this place is it.

Breakfast was not consistant. I personally would prefer a fresh continental breakfast every morning, juice, bread and butter/jam and coffee.

Pablo and his young team made us feel very comfortable and answered all of our questions. They were very friendly and respectful, and helped us find the services we needed. It is a great place to relax...

i liked the authenticness of the lodge as we could see the neighbors fishing in the river daily. i enjoyed walking along the river to enjoy nature. The lodge was unique and exactly what i wanted in a jungle feel type lodge. A friend had purchased a small piece of land nearby so we could stay very close by. Not too hot but very enjoyable to have a few beers in Santo Tomás on the street in the shade

Not that I didn’t like it…just a note, this is an eco lodge. Showers are rustic.

Perfect place to unplug & unwind. Beautifully set on the river & away from the hectic pace of Iquitos.

Right on the water, with canoes that can be borrowed. The owners are exceptionally lovely people. Great breakfast. Interesting community.

We unfortunately had to cut our stay short due to SKY Air cancelling / changing our flight and we’re really disappointed we couldn’t spend more time here! Casa Kukama is a special place well worth the visit. We loved the room, having a swim I. The lagoon and the local neighbourhood is friendly and with great fresh fish and juane cooked up on the street in the evening. Thanks 🙏

It is a bit hard there to get food as there isn’t a supermarket or restaurants around. But if you ask for dinner or drinks, they will be provided at the lodge!

It’s a beautiful lodge right at the river. It’s quite far away (about 30 minutes drive from plaza de armas) but this was what I was looking for to have some piece and quite. I really liked the rooms but the best part about it was the staff and the family running the lodge. Everyone put a lot of effort into making me feel comfortable and at home.

The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable.

The wifi was sometimes off, but you can ask them to put it on.

The hosts were more than lovely, helping out with everything: food, transport....The location is beautiful next to the river, where you can swim and chat (depending on your Spanish) with the local kids, the hammock on your private balcony is amazing, the dogs were sweet but most of all the host and owners were amazing, had a great day trip tour arranged by them too.

Nothing to mention.

We absolutely loved our stay in Pablo's and Lorena's Lodge and had an amazing time. The two are very special and they and their team cared so much about our well-being and experiences we would make in Iquitos and the beautiful nature around it. We would come any time back and wish everyone only the best! 🥰

It is true that there can be load until late in the night due to the parties that are held by the river. However, I liked that as it is part of their Culture, but I can understand that not everybody would be OK with that.

Pablo the owner is an authentic ambassador of the Kukama Culture. He is very engange socially to support and educate the people in his community. He is a very inspiring person. The Casa Kukama Lodge is a project to support the community. Before Covid he has there a school to teach children the Kukama language.

Owner and staff were very hospitable. They really care about their environment and culture and want to share with visitors.

Our family had an authentic and amazing experience. The place is rustic but very clean. The owners and their team are hospitable and helpful with outside activities. They are conscious of their environmental footprint and maintaining the indigenous Kukama culture. It has a beautiful view of the river and is a nice place to relax on a hammock, canoe on the river, and listen to the birds chirping.

The owners and staff are exceptional in making the guest feel cared and serviced! We had a lovely time there. I have seen various jungle areas but this trip was exceptional as in 1:45min one can escape from LIma into the Amazon jungle and wildlife! Thats unique.

I really really enjoyed to be here! Wonderful place, you are literally living in the river, which is supernice, you can chill in the hammock listening nature, or you can paddle around the area! The people who running the place are sooo kind and beautiful people! They are really helpful with everything, and the food is exceptional! There's so much love in the place, I really really liked it, and I will definitely come back sometime! :))
