What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 131 guest reviews
The Alpaca Inn earns consistently strong sentiment across recent guests, who repeatedly highlight its unbeatable walkability to Lava Hot Springs, spotless rooms, and genuinely warm staff. The property's quaint, alpaca-themed charm and peaceful setting away from the main street bustle are standout selling points, with many guests returning specifically for this reason. A handful of guests noted practical shortcomings — inadequate room lighting, occasional bed comfort issues, small room sizes, and minor ageing amenity quirks — but these rarely diminished overall satisfaction.
