Guest Reviews
- PIOTR (10/5): -
- Jonathan (9/5): - Clean, welcoming hosts. Fair value. Very happy and would recommend. Nada
- Megan (10/5): Lovely B&B! - Ian and his partner! Incredibly helpful and friendly. For example, they helped us book a taxi and told us how much we should pay for an airport transfer. The breakfast- the fresh thick sliced bread with Calafate jam and eggs. Rooms look like the photos. Quiet but great location off the Main Street but close enough to walk to the heart of the town.
- Ana Maria (10/5): La mejor estadía que he tenido en mucho tiempo - Sin lugar a dudas el mejor lugar en el que me he hospedado. Excelente relación calidad precio. Muy limpio; desayuno delicioso, casero y muy fresco.
Lo mejor de nuestra estadía fue la atención de Ian y Tatiana, desde el momento 0 te hacen sentir como en casa. Ian tiene la mejores recomendaciones de restaurantes para toda ocasión y las conversaciones las disfrutamos mucho también. Se nota que aman lo que hacen.
Es un lugar con muchísimo encanto y lo recomendaría 100% a cualquier persona que visite El Calafate.
- haruka (10/5): -
- Kathya (10/5): Un lugar maravilloso, puedes sentirte en casa y no te arrepentirás - La atención, los consejos, el desayuno, las habitaciones, todo! Fue estupendo, siempre hubo una buena atención, una excelente comunicación
Ellos son fantásticos, mi esposo y yo nos sentimos como en casa y si volvieramos... sin duda volveríamos aqui, fue la mejor decisión y estamos muy agradecidos y felices. Se siente el amor y la entrega en lo que hacen Nada, todo estuvo perfecto
- Paul (10/5): -

- Amanda (10/5): Our favorite hotel experience! - We travelled in Patagonia for several weeks and this was our favorite hotel experience (all of them were wonderful so that’s really saying something).
We got great recommendations from hosts Ian and Tatiana, and they were friendly and helpful at every turn. We had left something at the bus station and they helped us negotiate for our airport taxi to stop on the way (no extra charge).
The breakfast was delicious, the room was very comfortable - we particularly enjoyed the ceiling fan. The view from the breakfast/common area and from our room, which was lake view, was gorgeous. We loved watching the sun rise with a cup of coffee and delicious pastries offered during breakfast.
Wish we could have stayed longer!

Het ontbijt was heel lekker en gevarieerd met zelfgemaakte producten. Ze bieden ook de optie aan om een lunchpakket te bestellen als je op uitstap gaat. Qua locatie is het heel rustig. Op wandelafstand zijn er een aantal goede restaurants. Je kan ook gemakkelijk naar het natuurrreservaat Laguna Nimez wandelen.
Wij raden deze accomodatie heel erg aan. Helemaal niets

The location is great, away from the city centre but within walking distance so you can get a good night sleep. The room and public areas were basic but clean and comfortable.

Our room was quiet and comfortable with a view of their beautiful rose bushes and the hills above the town. There was always plenty of hot water.

The room I stayed in was really comfortable and was a great place to unwind after days of excursions and exploring the area.
The breakfast was also a standout, consisting of fresh pastries, yogurt, fruit, and they'll even make eggs for you upon request. Such a great way to start every day!
I couldn't recommend staying here enough. It's truly a hidden gem in Calafate!
- Christopher (10/5): A Gem of a Stay! - We loved this hotel. The breakfast was very nice with a great view of the lake. We enjoyed meeting the cats Perico and Grissini. Ian, the host was especially kind and helpful. The location was close to the Main Street but quiet and has a beautiful garden. They also were able to wash my laundry which was helpful after hiking 5 days. A great choice! Nothing!
- Yair (10/5): A great place to stay at El Kalafate - We liked practically everything.
Ian and Tatiana were so hospitable and welcoming. They filled every request we had and were extra helpful with recommendations on any topic we raised. I will definitely come back if I ever visit El Kalafate again.
Location is great. A minute walk from Av. Libertador (practically the only real street in town).
The room was very comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Nothing to write here
- maria (8/5): Nice place for a night - Friendly host. Good breakfast. Beautiful garden Bathroom small especially shower
Could only pay in cash
- Loukas (10/5): Gemütliche Unterkunft mit herzlichen Gastgebern! - Wir fanden die Unterkunft sehr gemütlich und ideal, um einige Tage die Gegend zu erkunden.
Der Gastgeber Ian und seine Frau sind unglaublich herzlich, proaktiv und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt. Das Frühstück ist ebenfalls sehr lecker und uns wurde sogar ein lunch pack gemacht, weil wir wegen eines Ausflugs sehr früh los mussten. Die Unterkunft ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und enthält alles Wichtige.
Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

We also had to leave just before breakfast started one morning and they made us an early breakfast. Excellent service! Beds could’ve been a bit more comfortable.
- Saul (10/5): Excellent casual place to stay - Extremely friendly, personal, and helpful service. Nice location, quiet neighborhood, but with nearby restaurants Extremely accommodating of complex food preferences Nothing
- Ivan (10/5): European quality of stay in El Calafate - A charming little hotel run by the wonderful Ian and Tatiana, perfectly located within walking distance of everything worth seeing in El Calafate’s town centre.
Room: Spacious, spotless, and well-stocked, with blackout curtains—a much-appreciated feature for those of us who aren’t early risers.
Breakfast: Delicious and homemade—a perfect start to the day.
Wi-Fi: Fast and reliable.
Parking: Ample space around the property. Despite a large event in town, we had no trouble finding a spot right next to the B&B, as it’s located on a residential street.
For those seeking European standards of service and quality in Argentina, this guesthouse is an excellent choice. And last but not least—we had dinner at the property, expertly cooked by Ian, and it was absolutely outstanding! Highly recommended. There was only one downside worth mentioning:
Bathroom amenities – This is more of an Argentina-specific detail than a hotel issue, but there was no shower gel provided—only bar soap. However, shampoo and conditioner were available.
- Sue (10/5): Exceptional - Helpful friendly staff. Responded to questions ahead of time and during our stay. Thank you!
- Anne (10/5): Excellent hotel in El Calafate - Ian and Tatiana are very friendly and wonderful hosts. The breakfast was great and the room was comfortable and clean. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay in El Calafate!
- Andrew (10/5): A nice little gem...sweet like calafate berries. - The hosts are absolutely wonderful, extremely helpful and friendly. Nice breakfast, clean comfortable rooms, and location is away from the bustling main street. Very happy to stay here again. Nothing
- Suzanne (10/5): Highly recommend this lovely place - The breakfast was wonderful, lots of variety and we appreciated Tatiania's great cooking. Friendly and very helpful owners, Ian and Tatiana, who go out of their way to be supportive and are great in a crisis- As we found out when we had some external travel issues! The accommodation is private, but very close to the main street and some lovely little restauarants and shops. The rooms were big and airy with good ambiance. Thanks so much, we appreciated staying with you and will do so again if we have the chance. It was all good.

- Jie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jacob (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning little guest house in El Calafate. Ian was such a kind and helpful host. We were sad to leave the beautiful property. The breakfast was delicious. There are some good restaurants right nearby. I highly recommend this place!
