Magical stay

My favorite hotel experience of our entire Peru trip. I highly recommend Melissa Wasi! The locale was amazing. The view of the mountains, the flowers around the hotel, the friendly dogs on premises, everything was magical. I did not want to leave! It was a chilly night when we were there, but firewood was right outside our door and the fire kept us warm and cozy. The owners were amazing people and helped us in any way we asked. We were there the night that Peru played Brazil in the final match of the Copa America, which was a very big deal for the Peruvians. The owners invited us to watch the game with their family and neighbors!! I would highly recommend Melissa Wasi!

Shabby accommodations at luxury pricing

I was baffled when I looked at Melissa Wasi's ratings and customer reviews after our stay as they seemed to describe a very different place than we experienced. Our room was shabby (or in PR speak "rustic"), seemingly furnished from thrift shops, lighting was too dim for reading, the only heat was a wood stove (so the room was cold) and the king bed we thought we were getting was a kind of full size saggy stale futon. There was an utter lack of attention by management to even the simplest details or quality control. (And you can't blame an overworked staff as there were only a few guests.) For example, we learned that the lack of hot water in the shower was the result of staff not turning on the water heater. We had to ask that someone supply matches and wood for the stove. The owner mentioned a heater but never supplied one. The owner was a nice enough chap who mouthed the words "mi casa es su casa" but he seemed to put his interests ahead of ours (examples upon request.) At the slightest pushback he was never apologetic, always defensive. This wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that our room was 95USD per night, outrageous considering we're well travelled and have stayed in much nicer places for less. I would not recommend Melissa Wasi until the owner has learned to become a proper hotelier, pricing reflects the youth hostel-like quality, and someone has edited the online description so that it properly reflects reality.

I love this place! A little bit of paradise.

Melissa Wasi was like a little slice of paradise. The couple who created it live in a house surrounded by numerous cottages, all in a Eucalyptus grove within walking distance of downtown Pisac. The owners are very friendly, hospitable, and interesting and the invited me (and any other guests who care to) to join them in their living room in the evening. It was the best place I stayed on my 6 days from Cusco, through the Sacred Valley, to Machu Picchu and back to Cusco. I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of staying anywhere in the area around Pisac. My only regrets were that I couldn't stay there longer (just a short trip) and that it's so far from the U.S. where I live.

The owner opens up his own space to his guests. The family cooks and eat breakfast together with us. Very nice breakfast. They are really helpful with our travel arrangements. The resort is also very secluded, really quite, has a very good view of the surrounding mountains.

Home away from home!

The property of Melissa Wasi is beautiful and peaceful. The owners, Chito and Joyce were so lovely to get to know. They helped guide me with what to see in the area, arranged taxi service, and even helped me when I had problems with my ATM card at the bank. I was a female solo traveler during this part of my trip and they made me feel comfortable. Coming home to Melisa Wasi each night felt like coming home to family! I will definitely return in the future!

Increible! El lugar esta muy tranquilo, no tan lejos de Pisac. Los dueños, Joyce y Chito, son muy muy muy amables. No me senti en un hotel, pero en la casa de un amigo. La habitacion era muy confortable y tranquila. El desayuno, rico! Ademas, hay un restaurante en la noche. Nestor, el chef, cocina muy bien y los precios son corectos. Me quedé une anoche solamente; proxima vez en Pisac, me voy a quedar una semana, al menos!

Melissa Wasi is owned by a lovely family who have created a beautiful space for leasure in a magical place. You feel as though you are one of their guests. Joyce and Chito were very helpful in pointing out things to do in the valley and made us feel very welcomed. The grounds are beautifully cared for and the house is tastefully decorated with local art. Melissa Wasi also has a restaurant that served a memorable breakfast and other delicious dishes. We will definitely visit this place again.

A lovely, beautiful, quiet place to stay

My boyfriend and I had a lovely visit at Melissa Wasi. The accommodations were clean and private. Joyce, the host was very kind, warm and accommodating. They have Wifi and a place to eat on site for Breakfast and dinner. The price is high for the area however the garden and landscape provide a retreat like experience that can be very nourishing after a day in town and after long travel. The chocolate Volcano Cake (which the owner makes herself) is amazing and I highly recommend it! The bed was not great and we both woke up with back aches, but we had a King so perhaps the smaller ones are better.

Wonderful choice for Pisac!

We loved this place. Super sweet, family owned guest house. The owner and his son were extremely friendly and helpful, and they spent time with us in the evening, and over breakfast telling us about the area and what's doing around town. The grounds at Melissa Wasi are a little slice of heaven. Flowers are everywhere and we saw more varieties of hummingbirds on this property than at any other place in Peru. We were blessed with sunshine in the mornings and enjoyed the little table and chairs outside our room. The town of Pisac is a 15 minute walk to get to, but you won't find this kind of lush beauty anywhere in town. We would easily come back here. Recommended!!

San Blas beauty

When we arrived they didn't have the room available that we reserved so we had to take a more expensive room. The room was very clean,large and beautiful, it just cost more then we had planned on. We had a nice view and it was in a very nice neighborhood, the San Blas district. It was up a hill right off from the main town square. Coca tea and coffee were available to us in the lobby all the time. They also have complimentary bag storage if you need it. Shopping and dining is just steps away.I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Retreat

Melissa Wasi is a peaceful and spiritual getaway in the eucalyptus grove just outside of the town of Pisac. The on-site restaurant makes eating very convenient vs going back into town. The hotel staff were very nice and assisted us in any way we needed. There are a few maintenance issues for the room we had that should be addressed but otherwise a great place to regenerate from a hectic touring schedule.

Overpriced mediocrity

The hotel information online is very misleading. Don't be fooled by the cute pictures. It has a nice garden and is very silent, but overall comfort is much less than what is offered during the reservation process. For the conditions offered and its location, a fairer price would be 50% to 60% less than what is charged. Parts of the rooms' description are a dishonest joke. "Climate control", for instance, is an inefficient small heater on a desk. I don't care for TV, but if you do, be ready for a very small, poorly-working TV set. And do bring cash: despite claims that they accept all major credit cards, at check-out the owner says he only accepts dollars or soles, in a rather threatening manner. He claims he doesn't want to pay the card fees. But why should it be my problem? This, in particular, feels like a scam.
