Guest Reviews
- Franco (10/5): -
- Hoshi (9/5): Muy lindo, muy conforme - Me gusto lo completo que estaba el departamente en cuanto a los utensillo de cocina y elementos de limpieza Quizas se podria mejorar la calidad de los colchones
- Melisa (10/5): - La vista Nada
- Daniel (10/5): - El alojamiento tiene todo lo necesario para estadia comoda La ubicacion un poco alejada del centro.
- Kateryna (8/5): All good, besides we didn’t receive instructions on how to access the apartment - Nice apartment, located in a cozy area (choose it if you have a car), beautiful window view on the lake and mountains. It has good facilities: coffee machine, toaster, sandwiches maker, etc. The host did not contact me before arrival and did not provide any check in instructions. There was no one when I arrived. I called to the host, she didn’t reply to my calls. Without wi fi I even couldn’t message her on WhatsApp. I should move to another place, find wi fi and message the host on WhatsApp to get instructions. I highly recommend the host to message guests and provide clear instructions on how to access the apartment.
Another wish to improve is to provide a bit more basic things like toilet paper, garbage bags, etc.
- Valeria (9/5): Muy lindo departamento en Calafate 🤗 - Muy lindo departamento. Con varios electrodomésticos, botiquín de primeros auxilios, herramientas etc. Muy cálido con la estufa encendida, linda decoración. La ducha con abundante agua caliente. Muy recomendable 🤗 el anfitrión muy amable y correcto.
- Martina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Margarida (9/5): Superb -
- Cassandre (7/5): Good - Overall the apartment was great, but only 2 people can stay there. The apartment was good for a short stay of 2 people max.
Unfortunately we had a bad encounter with the owner of the apartment as he refused to follow the price set by Booking upon arrival.
As many hostels/hotels/apartments in South America, he claimed that the exchange rate was set in stone and asked for a higher price than the one on Booking even though I was showing him the USD to ARS conversion using google.
When we started arguing and asked to pay only the Booking price, he said we were violent people and that we should leave or he would end up calling the police. As we were tired, we ended up saying yes to the new price he requested but he was really about to kick us out at 8pm.
Following this event, and as we were 4 to sleep in the apartment, we started setting up the sofa into a bed but the frame and a foot of the bed were broken so we ended up sleeping with 2 mattresses on the floor. When we sent him the picture, he claimed it was our fault, that we broke and said again that we are violent people and that he will report us to Booking and to the police. Another threat in less than 12 hours.
The place itself isn’t bad and the price is cheap, but the owner’s attitude isn’t worth it. There are human beings that should be avoided and I strongly believe that the owner is one of them. There are many similar apartments in El Calafate, so I would advise picking a similar alternative or at the very least be ready to be asked to pay a price that reflects the “house exchange rate”.
