Hotel de Sal Luna Salada

I stayed at Luna Salada for two nights, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The views over the salt flats are simply unbelievable — truly one of the most breathtaking landscapes I’ve ever seen.

The food was excellent, and the whole team at the hotel was warm, welcoming, and really made the stay feel special. You can tell they care about creating a great experience for their guests.

I would definitely love to come back again. It’s the perfect place for couples — quiet, cozy, and super romantic with those endless views.

This is a 3-star hotel on a good day. Did not meet expectations. In fact, we would recommend going for a different hotel in lieu of this one.

Food was very bad - salads, eggs, milk - all had added sugar. The pastries and bread smelt stale.

The staff at the restaurant cared more about you paying for the drinks and cleaning the tables, than for your comfort or experience. They are much more likely to bring the cheque faster than actually brining you what you asked for…

Spa and pool areas are too small for the size of the hotel and number of guests. Was extremely overcrowded.

Lamps in the room were broken with sketchy wiring. When we asked for replacement at reception, the staff did it very reluctantly and gave us another badly wired lamp that had to be propped against another object in order to work..

There are also construction works going on in the hotel but the materials and tools are all left on display and not hoarded off or cleaned up. Unprofessional and inconsiderate of user experience.

This Hotel is very cool, great views, super interesting interior decor, many lovely cozy seating areas and of course, all made of salt blocks, everywhere. Restaurant food really nice, dinner and breakfast.

Things to know: Pay a little extra for a room facing the Salar, the view is worth it. Water is expensive here, buy some 3 litre bottles in town before you arrive so you can avoid buying extra water, because you will ned it. No elevator and long corridors with many stairs, handicapped people beware, make sure to request a ground floor room in advance.

But, if they are trying to be +4 Stars, they could fix some important items. First, some "tude" from the lady who checked us in about 2 small issues, she ncould not care less. ALL the rest of the staff were exceptionally good. Rooms, hmmmn,,,,, this is a new hotel, 4 years old, there was barely any light in the room, no switches by the bed to turn off room lights, few outlets for charging and incredibly no place to hang up any clothes, no dresser space/closets etc, with almost no space for for any luggage. Big room but was cramped, at least put some hooks up on the wall. Robes in the room were a nice touch, but honestly, I am a pretty fit guy and the robes were too small for me. Lot's of potential here, but details need attention.

I stayed at the Hotel Luna Salada last week and all I can say is, incredible! The hotel sits adjacent to the salt flats of Uyuni and is literally made out of salt bricks which is really cool!

We stayed two nights, one night in a regular room, and another night in a domo. Both had espectacular views of the salt flats. The view of the stars at night and the salt flat at daybreak were breathtaking. Both rooms were absolutely spotless and super comfortable. The employees of the hotel were so helpful and accommodating. Always trying to make sure we were having our needs met.

We took a tour of the salt flat organized by the hotel. Our tour guide Demetrio was an absolute character. If you are planning on taking a tour of the salt flat without a doubt ask if Demetrio is available. He was the personification of customer service tailoring the tour around our desires. He was so knowledgeable about the area, and also a great photographer!

Our stay was so relaxing and enjoyable! Without a doubt I would come and stay here again, and will recommend it to everyone I know that will be going to Uyuni.

Beautiful

Great location great views staff was very attentive .

The accommodation was good. The room warm throughout the cold night and had comfy bedding. Breakfast and dinner were good and generous. A small splash pool and sauna were ideal relaxation after a day out in the Salar. The only caution we have about this establishment was the slippery bathroom and shower. Someone is destined to have a bad fall under these conditions if not already.

Why all the negative comments?
Solo traveler stayed one night, no issues. The tour operator dropped me off a bit early. Was able to check in one hour early. The bar had amazing snacks and food. The hotel is amazing at night, well lit inside and outside. Yes it is away from everything. The sunrise over the salt flats is amazing. Will return in 2026.

Beautiful hotel and had the pleasure of spending the day with Jesus who showed us around Uyuni and the salt flats.

The Luna Salada hotel is situated on a small hill overlooking the salt flats, outside Colchani. You can’t realistically walk anywhere from the hotel.
We had half board and the breakfast was a buffet with a good selection including a range of hot items and some very nice cakes. The evening meal was also a buffet with soup, nice bread, a good range of hot items including a number of vegetarian and meat options. There was also salad and a good choice of desserts.
The room had a fabulous view over the salt flats and was spacious (although we did have an upgrade), other rooms we saw were smaller and didn’t have such a good view. The room was nicely furnished but unfortunately we found the room and the whole hotel really cold. The room had an aircon/heat unit but even on the top heat setting we were very cold in the room.
The only time we weren’t cold in the hotel was in bed and in the swimming pool. Unfortunately though we could only go swimming on the first night because after that we couldn’t get our costumes dry enough to pack due to the cold. We went for breakfast and dinner in several layers including a coat and hat and many other guests were in coats too. The radiators in the corridors weren’t on and only some of the fireplaces were lit. This was the coldest we have ever been in a hotel and it did detract from our experience in this lovely hotel.
We were provided with two small bottles of water in the room each day which was insufficient for a day out on the salt flats and it was very expensive to buy additional bottles.
We found the staff helpful and friendly although we weren’t allowed to go into our room until 3pm despite arriving at 12.30pm and the room being ready.

We had high expectations for Hotel Luna Salada, but our experience was extremely disappointing.

There was no electricity available to charge our devices or even use a hairdryer. We reported it several times, and the staff kept assuring us it would be fixed — of course, nothing was done. No heating in the room either, which made the nights absolutely freezing. The staff was unhelpful and offered no alternatives or support.

The spa was unavailable, despite being one of the hotel’s advertised features.

In the end, we just used the bed — in the cold — and woke up to a damp, freezing room. Imagine starting your day freezing and surrounded by humidity.

To make things worse, we were on our honeymoon, and the hotel was overrun by a school group. The noise coming from the common areas, including what seemed like a party or casino atmosphere, lasted until late at night. Unsurprisingly, the staff did nothing to control the situation.

“Peaceful and relaxing”? Far from it. Absolutely not worth it.

Exceptional location. Staff were absolutely wonderful. Our Dome room was magnificant and we left the curtains open at night in order to enjoy the clear skies and even saw a meteor falling. The salt plains were awesome and we got beautiful pictures with our family. 5 stars!

Staying at Hotel Luna Salada was honestly one of the most incredible and unforgettable experiences ever, it’s like sleeping in the middle of another planet, surrounded by nothing but salt and sky. The whole hotel is made of salt blocks (yes, even the floors and walls!), and everything feels super cozy and magical, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light hits the flats. Seriously, pay extra for the Dome with the salt flat view , waking up to that massive white landscape glowing pink in the morning is 100% worth it and feels like a movie. The food was delicious (highly recommend the quinoa risotto and coca tea), the spa was such a nice surprise, and just chilling by the fireplace with a book or some music while looking out at the flats was peak peace. Bring layers because it gets cold, and try to go during the rainy season if you want to see that mirror effect. It’s not just a hotel stay, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment you’ll never forget.

Hotel Luna Salada was hands down one of the most special places we’ve ever stayed. It’s such a unique experience since you are being surrounded by the salt flats and staying in a hotel made almost entirely of salt, and as a couple, it really felt like the perfect romantic escape. The rooms were warm, charming, and filled with little touches that made it feel cozy and all the unique touches of Bolivian culture. If you’re going to stay here, paying extra for the room with the view is 100% worth it. Waking up to the sun rising over the salt flats right outside your window is something we’ll never forget.

The food was seriously good—simple, but fresh and full of local flavor. We especially loved the quinoa soup and trying local dishes like llama, and the coca tea was a lifesaver for the altitude. The drinks at night by the fire, especially the warm spiced wine, were such a nice touch. And the pool was amazing, it was heated, relaxing, and surrounded by huge windows so you could still take in the views while you soaked. We left feeling rested, inspired, and honestly already wanting to come back.

I do not ever write reviews. So take that for what it is worth. If you are reading this just know this hotel is very hard to work with and there is no customer service. They will have many excuses to not help tourists. Which for a country that needs tourism you would think they be more accommodating. I would highly recommend to not book or stay with them. Yes the place looks nice but the stress and rudeness from the staff is not worth the high price.

Food is ok, not amazing, the hotel itself is very nice and so are the amenities. When we went the sauna and steam room were both under maintenance which was a big bummer. The pool is very small but it wasn’t busy while we were there. The rooms were a bit chilly but they gave me extra blankets.

This was a great place to stay for us after a day on the salt flats before we ventured further into the Bolivian desert. Overall, my friends and I really enjoyed this hotel. Great views over the salt flats, comfy rooms, nice atmosphere. We loved the hot tub though we wished the temperature had been a bit hotter. The dinner and breakfast buffets had very nice selection of food and great friendly service. The bar was nice. Beds comfortable and slept well. Only recommendation is that, since you cannot flush toilet paper down the toilet that they install trash cans next to the toilet with a top on them, as I saw elsewhere in Bolivia. That would help tremendously.
Overall it was a great stay and I'd recommend it to anybody going to the salt flats.

We were given room 403 and it is the furthest from reception up three lots of stairs. The hotel is at 4,000 metres and the altitude was really troubling us so the walk to our room was tortuous. We had to stop several times and were thinking of asking for another room, until we saw the view! It was incredible to watch sunset from chairs in front of the window.

Dinner and breakfast are both buffet style with wide choice of hot and cold dishes which were included in the room price, just drinks extra.

Our guides had expected to take us back onto the salt flats for sunset but we had a fantastic view from our room. We also used the newly opened spa which was great, the pool isn’t really for swimming but the whirlpool, sauna and steam room were much appreciated

s very good and the location is perfect.

Had an amazing time staying in the Star dome. Staff was great; very helpful!
