It’s very rustic. May not be for everyone. I’m glad I did it for the once in a lifetime experience. But wasn’t necessarily the make or break of the trip. Yes language is a barrier. We Brought few food staples to the family as host gift. It was COLD - 4 or 5 blankets at night. But the baying of the family donkey at midnight was charm. No vehicles. Strictly hiking.. No running water so had to flush the toilet outside our hut with handy bucket of water. One lightbulb in our room=electricity. My daughter and I were glad we experienced this unique opportunity. But it’s not a requirement in experiencing the culture and Peruvian experience.
Q:

Hotel Jose Antonio, Puno. There's abundant wildlife in and around the lake.
