Miski Samay Domo Boutique

Miski Samay Domo Boutique

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I had the best Peruvian experience in the company and service of Roger, Gustavo and Belen who took excellent care of us, provided us with wonderful traditional food and always made us feel at home. Roger even performed a little traditional Inca offering ceremony and taught us about this tradition. Even though the wind and temperature dropped during the evenings and nights, we were made comfortable in our Domo with the electric heating unit. We had hot water for our shower, the bathroom was clean and well maintained, with clean towels provided every day if we requested and our room was cleaned every day as well. We were also provided with two free bottled water during our stay and additional bottled water provided when we went for our day trips. Our room view was stunning to say the least since we live in Philadelphia. Gustavo cooked all our meals and Belen helped with the meal preps as well as brought us fresh hot coffee with milk and fruit every morning before we set out for our day trips. Roger also helped book us a driver, a wonderful dual-lingual (Spanish-English) Peruvian woman named Ruth who is a superb and experienced driver. If you need to get around the valley she is someone you can count on. Overall we loved every minute of our stay and really were sad to leave. If you are in the sacred valley we definitely recommend staying at least a night or two at the Miski Samay Domo Boutique for a warm, friendly and comfortable experience."

8/10 Good
"The staff was mostly amazing. They were very accommodating with my early checking and always offering assistance. There was a snafu with someone being checked into my room after I had already checked in — which was disturbing to say the least. However the staff was quick to offer apologies and make up for the oversight. There were a LOT of gnats and mosquitos in my room so that was pretty frustrating especially at night when trying to sleep. But my only real complaint was the spa service. I was very much looking forward to a relaxing and rejuvenating spa experience. I booked a 2 hour experience that included thermals, scrub and massage. However there was no assurance once I changed out of my clothes and much of my time was wasted trying to hunt down someone to provide instruction. I was supposed to get 1 hr in the thermals and pools but 20 min in 3 different people came to tell me it was time to go to my massage. I had to keep insisting that I hadn’t had my hour yet and that was more of my time wasted trying to get them to understand that my appointment started at 6:30 so I couldn’t be be booked for a 7p massage. The receptionist then told me that my appointment was for only 1 hr20min but said I got 1 hr in the thermals (which I still hadn’t had yet) and 30 min for my massage (which doesn’t even add to 1hr20). She did later concede my appointment was 2 hrs but that I had to get out of that area at 7:30 but when I got out at 7:30 I waited til 7:40 to be taken for my scrub."
