Guest Reviews
- Juan Jose (10/5): -
- Abel (10/5): - Tranquilidad, muy buena atención del personal y el lugar . La vista es excepcional. Nada que vomentar
- Noam (10/5): - Beautiful surroundings. There is a little trail from the hostel that you can take to a waterfall. It feels like a mountain refuge but with all the comforts The room was quite cold even with the heater on. But not too extreme
- Gaston (10/5): - Hermoso el Hostel y hermosa su gente. Helena y el resto de voluntarios unos genios!
- Luz Barone (10/5): Genial - Fuimos con mi pareja, nos encanto el lugar, el chocho porque pudo hacerse un asadito y comerlo cómodamente en el comedor 😊, los chicos que atienden un 10 y super atentos a todo, estuvimos en la habitación privada y muy comodos, sin duda vamos a volver 🫶🏼 Nada que decir del lugar! Si van sin auto queda un poco lejos de la ciudad, pero nada que un uber no solucione
- Mendieta (9/5): - Impresionante las vistas y comodidades para estar bien tranquilo 😃
- Aleuy (10/5): Una experiencia - No prove el desayuno. Complicado hacer la subida, pero vale la pena.
- COGNEAU (6/5): - L'emplacement et le mirador pour observer le couché de soleil ou simplement pour boire un maté est très agréable ⛅ Très mauvaise isolation entre les pièces Dans la chambre double ont entend littéralement tout ce qu'il se passe dans les pieces communes ainsi que dans les chambres voisines (musique tardive, discussion à haute voie, portes qui claques)....
- Yuri (10/5): - Os anfitriões são muito queridos e dispostos a ajudar com toda informação possível. Tive a experiência de hospedagem em meio a uma cicloviagem. Por isso, diria que o acesso final, uma escalada brutal em terreno de pedras soltas, foi um ponto que no momento foi um complicador. Talvez erro meu na pesquisa prévia nao ter notado a declividade, que é relevante pra quem está a pé ou de bike. Mas confesso que no final, estando na hospedagem, esse fator foi diluído por tudo de bom que é o local.
- Ana Paula (10/5): - Foi maravilhosa a estadia, todos muito solícitos, ambiente super agradável, organizado e limpo. Um ótimo lugar para descansar e recarregar as energias.
- Tamara (4/5): Pesimo - Lo único bueno que tiene el hostel es la vista Dormí con los voluntarios los cuales no fueron educados. En la habitación se escuchaba todo, hasta que no se acostaran todos no podías dormir. En especial tuve la desafortunada experiencia de tener que comerme comentarios fuera de lugar hacia mi persona. En la mañana se equivocaron con el desayuno y escuché como decían que era una chorra por un error que no cometí! Al retirarme lo arreglé con la recepcionista y se pudo solucionar pero definitivamente no volvería! El aceptar a cualquiera como voluntario hacen que el lugar no sea bueno para hospedarse! Van al baño sin cerrar la puerta! Se meten juntos al baño cuando uno está a metros de distancia! Creo que si van a tener tantos voluntarios deberían separar al huésped de ellos!
- Indigo (10/5): - Lovely staff, amazing garden, very clean and great activities nearby
- Morgan (10/5): Peaceful and surrounded by nature. - Situated a little outside El Bolson but very easy to get to either by car (theres lots of signs on the road there) or via taxi like we did from Remis taxis in the centre near the bus station. Means the property feels surrounded by nature, the grounds were huge with a beautiful mirador spot off the side where you could watch the sunset over the mountain and town in the evening. Staff so nice and helpful, advising on stuff to do in the town and hikes, particularly how to get places. Breakfast lovely as well. And the room was very clean, comfortable and well maintained. 10/10 would stay here for a relaxing time. N/A

- Micaela (10/5): Hermosa, volvería 10/10 🤍 - El hostel está muy bien gestionado. El ambiente es cálido, cómodo y relajado. El personal de planta y los voluntarios hicieron que la estadía sea super placentera y agradable. La ubicación está un poco alejada del centro, pero si cuentan con auto está bien.
- Gonzalo (9/5): Muy bien - La naturaleza que lo rodea. El comedor cierra a las 23 hs y se apagan todas las luces del patio.
- Gabriel Alejandro (10/5): -
- Facundo (8/5): -
- Victoria (10/5): - Excelente lugar, muy cómodo y limpio. El staff es muy buena onda, las vistas y la tranquilidad del lugar son de otro mundo
- Juan (10/5): - Un excelente lugar para relajarse, el ambiente y el personal son de lo mejor que hay, te sentis re cómodo, muy feliz y agradecido con la atención, algún día volveré, saludos
- Gustavo (10/5): Lugar paradisíaco con atención increíble - La verdad es que la pasamos muy bien en El Mirador. Las chicas: Inés, Juli, Eli y Vale son 10 puntos, siempre hay alguna disponible para cualquier consulta, ayuda o más no sea una información. Lo recomiendo muchísimo. El desayuno era simple, pero con pan casero y al tener disponible la cocina uno puede también hacerse sus propios platos. Para mi además fue genial la onda de todo el mundo. Un día mi auto amaneció con una cubierta vacía, y mientras las chicas fueron a buscar un compresor, otro huésped, un muchacho venezolano genial en una 4 x 4 me prestó el suyo. Todos esos detalles no tienen precio. Sin contar el bosque, el mirador y la cascada dentro del hostel. Hiper, super recomendable. La verdad que del hostel todo genial, el único problema son las calles o caminos para llegar que están en muy mal estado. Es decir, nada que reclamar del Hotel.

- Carles (10/5): - Todo bien La carretera de acceso es de ripio en mal estado
- Fernanda (10/5): Muy lindo - Hermosa Nada
- CeliaLop (10/5): Hostel con hermosas vistas en la montaña! - El hostel es hermoso, muy limpio, el personal super amable y tiene hermosas vistas. Se encuentra alejado del centro, en la montaña, donde se puede disfrutar de la naturaleza. El mirador que tienen es único. En el desayuno además de las infusiones solamente sirven pan con manteca y mermelada. Si bien era riquisimo, me hubiese gustado que ofrezcan alguna alternativa más nutritiva.
- EHUD (10/5): - Beautiful place, great stuff:)
- Alejandro (10/5): Recomendable volveré - El paisaje la vista El que dormía enque roncaba jajaa
- Leyre (6/5): Bien, calidad precio. - Amabilidad del personal y el desayuno. Mucho ruido y calefacción puesta cuando había 20 grados en la calle.
- Yuval (10/5): Surprise! - The spacious place (inside andespecially outside, the amazing condition of the building, the great owner, and the price (which, honastly, is too low for whay you get) One crew member was disrespectful toward me throught all ofy stay. (Because it's only one, it doesn't effect the total score, but still - shouldn't happen.
- Lazarev (10/5): - Staff and other guests is the most beautiful part of this hostel, but views are also really good Poor choise of prepared food
- Fernando (10/5): -
- Fernando (10/5): El mejor hostel lejos. - El hostel es un 10, las instalaciones impecables, el entorno natural una belleza, el mirador propio es hermoso, el equipo de laburo excelente, muy cálidos todos, Mario se conoce toda la comarca y te recomienda los mejores lugares para ir. Vamos a volver sin dudas
- Coronel (10/5): - Todo el establecimiento está súper cuidado, tanto la limpieza como el hermoso predio super verde y con lugares para pasar la tarde tomando unos mates o recorriendo. El Mirador hermoso y la cascadita después de la lluvia un plus hermoso. Tanto sus dueños como los voluntarios súper amables y atentos a todo. Volvería sin dudarlo🏞️
- Macarena (10/5): - La locación es perfecta. Tanto por la vista, la calma, y el escenario de todo el terreno del parque. Además todo estaba preparado: hay asientos, bancos y hasta camas colgantes para que puedas relajarte en el predio. Las instalaciones son preciosas y muy cómodas, y la atención fue impecable y de lo más amable. Tenemos decidido volver en cuanto podamos! Nada, honestamente nos llevamos la mejor experiencia.
- melanie (10/5): Super! - Everything was wonderful, great staff, breakfast, beautiful area. It is a drive down a dusty road away from the city square, but lovely.
- Frida (9/5): -
- Alessandro (10/5): -
- Magdalena (10/5): -
- vorspiel (10/5): - La ubicación y las vistas
- Nicolas (9/5): - Buena ducha, cama cómoda, cocina completa, patio con muy buena vista Ubicación, si no estás en auto es lejos y bastante arriba de la montaña, agregaría sillones o algo más para relajar
- Hugo Atilio (8/5): Lugar lindo, acogedor, solo pasamos una noche. - Lugar acogedor y muy limpio, personal amable. Podrían mejorar un poco la insonorización en la habitación privada.
- Shoffner (5/5): - The yard is beautiful I’ve never been to a hostel such as this. The bed and pillow were extremely uncomfortable. There was a light on until around 1 am that was extremely bright right in my face so it made it hard to sleep.
- Beltempo (10/5): Visiten el Hostel El mirador, no se van a arrepentir. - Realmente un lugar súper recomendable, desde la atención de sus dueños, los chicos que trabajan ahí...muy cordiales y atentos. La ubicación muy buena. La limpieza y comodidades un 100. Muchas gracias
- Leonardo (10/5): -
- Maria Cristina Mancini (10/5): - La calidez del lugar ...es una gran familia !!! Nos atendieron de diez tanto los dueños como el grupo de jóvenes q están a cargo del hostel .
- Fernando Martin Cabrera (10/5): -
- Leandro (10/5): Nieve - Absolutamente todo! Instalaciones, calidad humana, limpieza e increíble entorno!
- Marco (10/5): -
- rolando (10/5): - La calidez del personal y los dueños es lo más destacable, todo funciona muy bien lo cual te asegura una estadía sin inconvenientes y placentera. Espero volver pronto
- Charley (10/5): Retreat into and Rest in Nature - Perfect place to escape for a while Super clean and well equipped kitchen meant I could easily cook Big property with many places to sit…tables, benches, chairs, hammocks, tree trunks, big stones Volunteers do an amazing job And Mario is very concerned you have a good stay Breakfast bread/toast with butter and jam much appreciated Haggling over the price after booking Only hostel I’ve stayed in Argentina where you must pay the taxes….yes as a foreigner and after saying no if paying cash, that then changed to a yes…. And yet the price was good, the long whats app about it not so much
- Jorg (9/5): Recommended for a stay of 2 to 3 nights - The hosts are very welcoming. The hostel is beautifully situated on the slopes of Cerro Piltriquitrón. It takes some time to get there, but the views and relaxed atmosphere was completely worth the hike/Uber drive to the slightly hard to access location. Overall, this was probably the hostel with the best price/quality balance of my entire stay in Argentina!
- Nicole (9/5): Superb - The staff members did a great job in making you feel at home. I loved the outdoor places! Super quiet at night - amazing. There were only two bathrooms for all the customers. To reach my room you had to walk through a sleeping area of others. A bit strange.
- Weiyu (9/5): Superb - I spent three nights at this amazing hostel over the Christmas holiday, and I was impressed by how impeccably it’s maintained. Everything is spotless, beautifully decorated, and exudes a quaint charm, offering a true refuge in the forest. The space is spacious, complete with its own observatory, and feels like a well-loved home where the owners, Mario and Maga, also live. They are flexible, kind, and welcoming, making the stay feel like being part of a family. While the hostel is a bit removed from town—so it’s a good idea to stock up on groceries before arriving—it’s ideally located on the way to the Piu-Tri-Ki-Tron peak. The views from the peak are unforgettable, and this hostel serves as the perfect starting point and a cozy retreat after a day’s hike. We also shared a wonderful Christmas dinner together, making the experience even more special. If you’re looking for tranquility, comfort, and a warm, home-like atmosphere, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!
- Catalin (9/5): Superb -
- Pamela (8/5): A great hostel. Amazing views! - The location was up the hill overlooking the town with the mountains all around you. The double room was comfortable. The hostel was well maintained by the staff and our host Mario was friendly (+ excellent English) and gave great advice for hiking and other activities in the area. Breakfast was lovely homemade bread, butter and jam. Don't be put off by the distance from town, we had a car but other guests arrived by taxi and said this was very affordable. There was a little bit of evening noise in the communal kitchen and dining area and our room was a little close to the hive of activity and we prefer lights out and rise early for hiking. Fortunately there were strict times of use outlined for the kitchen so overall plenty of quiet quality sleep.
- Mylène (9/5): Superb - Calme place and friendly staff.
- Yan (10/5): Great Hostel - Wow what an a amazing Hostel. The garden with all the seats and hammock is amazing with astonishing views to all the valley, mountains and town. The staff was amazing and very good. Got a lot of good recommendations from them. Very nice style of the hostel and everything is very clean. Feels like 5 star hotel.
- Sarah (9/5): Fantastic stay! - The outside space at the hostel is amazing, they have a bbq and hammocks you can use. The owner, Mario and his wife are super friendly
- Frankie (9/5): Superb - Mario & the team were brilliant and super helpful. Felt like a really community staying here. The view is stunning but make sure you pop to the shop before arriving at the hostel to save you a trip.
- Adam (9/5): Superb - Very friendly staff, great kitchen and lovely breakfast! The view is lovely over the town and will be greater to sit outside when warmer! Note that you will most likely need a car or be happy to taxi up to the hostel and as it is quite far uphill
- Lisanne (10/5): Exceptional - Great and beautiful hostel! The staff is so nice and they make sure you have the best time;)
- Michael (10/5): great place, fantastic location - Great stay with super friendly staff in a fantastic location in the mountains with hammocks in the trees, very tranquil and quite a distance to the small city center of El Bolsón, if you seek to disconnect and relax, that is the place
- Charles (10/5): Exceptional -
- Craig (10/5): Exceptional - Very peaceful property. There are hammocks set up and a great viewpoint. Everything was extremely clean and well kept. Kitchen has everything you need, even sharp knives!
- Joaquin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daisy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ruy (10/5): Exceptional - I love the people, the vibe, and the owners. Everything and everyone is amazing. They were there for every need, question o problem that happens. I like a lot that on checking they tell you the rules and expectations of each guest. So living together is nice and with clear expectations. I love that breakfast is in a table shared with other guest in the common room, so you get to know them and make friends. The waste system is a bit complicated but asking questions you learn a lot so, is a very minor issue.
- Krzysztof (9/5): Superb - Mario is an excellent host, very attentive and kind. The place is located in a picturesque location, a perfect getaway from the busyness of El bolson.
- Laura (10/5): Beautiful hostel - The family that runs it is so sweet. They deserve all the best. Also the beautifully green environment, well equipped kitchen and cozy common areas are worth mentioning.
- Bobsyouruncle (7/5): Good -
- Koen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (9/5): Superb - Mario is super friendly and helpful. Probably one of the nicest hostels we’ve stayed at, if you enjoy peace and tranquility. For breakfast there was only bread, butter and jam, and for the coffee only milk powder. But it’s easy to make your own breakfast.
