What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 154 guest reviews
Chipeta Lodge earns consistently strong sentiment for its warm, attentive staff, comfortable and clean rooms, stunning mountain views, and solid on-site dining including a well-regarded included breakfast. A handful of guests flagged recurring technology niggles — unreliable Wi-Fi, temperamental TVs — and minor maintenance issues with the pool and hot tub, and at least one room was noted as needing modernisation. Overall, the positives clearly outweigh the drawbacks, with multiple guests stating they would return.
