Guest Reviews
- GONÇALVES SILVA (8/5): - petit déjeuner super. Accueil excellent.
- anita (9/5): - Accueil du propriétaire au top, autour d'1 café pour notre arrivée, description des alentours et idées de visites et resto 👍
Hébergement tout en bois,et déco au top,type chalet avec jardin , petit déjeuner préparé la veille à notre demande,pour partir plus tôt.tout à disposition ds une annexe.5mn à pied du centre de vicuna. Quelques réserves pour l'eau chaude de la douche.
- João Marcos (9/5): - La ubicación, el desayuno ofrecido y la amabilidad de la anfitriona!
- Lauryn (10/5): -
- Virginie (10/5): Très bien - Vraiment chouette, accueil chaleureux et parking inclus. Chambre spacieuse et confortable, propre et bien équipée
Bien situé en ville, prix très intéressant
- Lasse (10/5): - Das gesamte Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Besitzer ein sehr spannender, kommunikativer und symphatischer Mensch. Die Anlage ist sehr schön, lädt zum Verweilen ein. Wir haben ein schönes Zimmer mit Blick auf die Berge gehabt, haben die Gemeinschaftsküche genutzt und auch den supernetten, bequemen Wäscheservice. Nach 4 Wochen Reisen toll, alles wirder frisch zu haben.
Das Frühstück wird sehr liebevoll und nett vorbereitet mit selbstgemachtem Brot, Marmelade und leckerem Ziegenkäse und Oliven. Die Lage des Hostels ist perfekt, direkt neben dem Museo Gabriela Mistral, das wir vor unserer Abfahrt auch noch besucht haben.
Für ein Hostel höchste Punktzahl! Hier lebt man Pura Vida!
...und die Feigen, die wir einfach frisch vom Baum pflücken durften, werden in sehr guter Erinnerung bleiben. -
- Daniela (10/5): - Era hermoso todo el lugar y las piezas muy cómodas. Además el dueño muy amable al igual que todo el personal. Nada.
- Leigh (10/5): -
- Athir (10/5): Comfortable place to spend a few days - Very clean rooms. Nice common area to relax in.
- Olivier (10/5): Très agréable et idéalement placé dans Vicuna. Personnel très aimable et excellentes confitures :! - L'emplacement à proximité du musée Mistral, la décoration et le jardin avec accès aux figues, la vente de produits locaux, l'accueil.
- Gerald (9/5): -
- erwin (9/5): -
- Carlos (10/5): - El lugar está muy cerca de plaza de vicuña, tiene fácil acceso a la carretera que une los distintos pueblos... El staff es bastante preocupado del servicio y la estadía en la ciudad, además tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer al dueño del hostal quien nos preparó algunas comidas típicas de su país de orígen.... Totalmente recomendable
- Navarro (9/5): Opción muy relajante - La locación tranquila, cerca del centro, pero suficientemente alejado de él para sentir la tranquilidad el sector y disfrutar de ella; el entorno con árboles frutales y variedad de plantas, y el rico y contundente desayuno servido.
Jordan, quien nos recibió, nos brindó inflrmación y sugerencias sobre cómo disfrutar del valle. Costaba un poco regular la temperatura del agua en la ducha; pero fuera de eso, un grato lugar en donde volvería a quedarme.
- Luis (10/5): Perfecta - Sí perfecto Mmm nada todo bien
- Emanuel (10/5): - Lugar tranquilo, desayuno contundente y rico, muy central
- Oyarce (8/5): Colibrí, un refugio en Vicuña. - Nos encantó la ubicación, por las tardes es silencioso y de noche mucha tranquilidad. Desde el patio puedes ver el cielo estrellado.
El desayuno impecable, muy representativo de la zona; pan artesanal, mermeladas de papaya e higo, queso de cabra. Todo delicioso y contundente.
El personal muy gentil y hospitalario. La ropa de cama estaba limpia, pero algunas fundas manchadas por el uso.
El papel higiénico de los baños debería ser más delicado, más blando.
- Andrew (9/5): Vicuña is lovely and the Bayti is a nice place to stay - Didn’t actually stay in the Colibri (hummingbird) Hostal; opened at 9am and young guy handed me the phone to talk to Richard (the owner) who said we were actually staying in the Bayti 100m down the road. Bayti was lovely with an internal courtyard and Richard was good company and very helpful. Good breakfast (from 9am - Vicuña doesn’t start early!). Good location a few mins walk into centre. Vicuña is a nice small town with lots of bars/restaurants and a nice feel. Richard pointed us to Elki Magic, a small company who runs car, bicycle and other tours in the Elqui valley. Our room was duplex with the bedroom on the top floor which got very warm during the day (fan was provided but little ventilation); ok at night.
- Zippel (10/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): - el pan y mermeladas que te ofrecen al desayuno son super ricos, si pudieran agregar huevos revueltos al menú sería mucho mejor.
- Rodrigo (9/5): - Relación precio-calidad y la ubicación cercana al centro.
- Adolfo (8/5): - Desayuno exelente
- victor (9/5): -
- MANUEL (10/5): - Muy bueno recomendado 👍
- Carmen gloria (10/5): Cómo estar en casa - Nos quedamos en Bayti…Me encantó su infraestructura, la calidez de las personas, habitaciones cómodas, el desayuno espectacular muy rico y que aceptan mascotas .
- Kateryna (10/5): - Lo acogedor. Nada
- David (10/5): - A beautiful hostel in a quiet part of the town. The facilities including the breakfast were really impressive. The garden was a lovely place in which to unwind. Nothing
- Jack (10/5): -
- Jorge (9/5): - La amabilidad del dueño Nada
- Carolina (10/5): -
- Pilar (10/5): -
- Marco Aysel (10/5): -
- Marco Aysel (10/5): -
- Gloria (10/5): Excelente - La calidez del personal. Todo muy cómodo y el desayuno muy rico. Todo estuvo muy bien
- Maj (10/5): - We spent 5 nights in this lovely place. The staff were very helpful with everything, they gave us lots of information about all the things you could do during your stay. The garden is very beautiful with all the flowers, trees and hummingbirds. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the center but still quiet and peaceful. The shared kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to prepare meals during your stay. The "basic" breakfast was very filling with lots of options ( bread, jams, coffee, different cheeses, juice, fruit, olives...) Thank you! :) Only the shower lacked some pressure, but it's not that bad.
- Licia (10/5): -
- Marion (10/5): -
- Lauren (10/5): Would stay again... - I would absolutely stay here again. We were welcomed warmly, shown around the place, they were flexible with leaving our stuff on check-out and it's a short walk from the town centre. They also have dedicated parking and gave us a a set of keys to the garage gate which meant that we could come and go as we pleased. We loved our stay and wished we'd had the time to book some extra nights. My only improvement would be for the shower- the shower head sprayed water over my head instead of pointing down.
- marcelo (8/5): - Localização privilegiada.. Excelente atendimento da recepção, destaque para Jormar. Café da manhã com pão caseiro, geleia caseira, suco com fruta da época. Possui cozinha compartilhada.
- Hugo (6/5): Demasiado elevado el valor para lo que ofrece - La ubicación y la sala de estar El desayuno dejó un poco de deseo de más, por el valor extra pensé que incluía más cosas.
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Gianna (7/5): - sehr nette und herzliche Gastgeber, Zentrum fussläufig nah erreichbar und ruhige Lage Zimmer sehr ringhörig, Badezimmer stinkt stark nach Abfluss
- Ramón (9/5): Muy buenos para ser realidad - Estacionamiento, parrilla, buen desayuno y muy tranquilo Me faltaron más utensilios de asado
- Neil Shipley (10/5): - Excelkent friendly hostrl in l9vely vicuna.
- Jean-Michel (9/5): Superbe étape à Vicuña - Gentillesse de notre hôte confort de la chambre, très bien situé plein centre parking privé
- Nikolas (10/5): - El desayuno bastante contundente, lugar muy bonito y acogedor. Muy buen trato del personal.
- Flavie (8/5): Bon emplacement et fonctionnel - Le jardin luxuriant
- Barbara (10/5): - Communication with the owner before and during my stay. I had an upgrade of my stay in another hostel. Owner speaks perfect english. They have delicious homemade yoghurt and jam, good bread and goatcheese for breakfast. Also good tips for tours in Valle de Elqui. Nada
- Ignacio Javier Torres (9/5): Un lindo hostal con una muy buen ubicación - La ubicación es muy buena, muy próxima al centro pero algo fuera del centro. Además, al lado está el Museo Gabriela Mistral, que es una de las principales datracciones de Vicuña. La entrada de vehículos es estrecha, si alguien va en una SUV grande podría tener problemas para ingresar al estacionamiento.
- Douglas (10/5): Perfect spot to spend time in Vicuña - Everything about this place was fantastic. The staff, Richard, the location, the breakfasts, the parking, the peaceful quiet atmosphere. Great Wi-fi too. Absolutely nothing, loved it here!
- Serena (10/5): Highly recommend this Hostal, the owner and staff are so friendly - Loved everything about the property. Beautiful gardens, fluffy and friendly pets, and comfortable room. Everything was great! I met a traveler in Colombia who recommended staying here and I’m so glad I did!
- Bernadette (8/5): - L'emplacement idéal.
Le cadre très reposant..
- Paola (9/5): - Todo limpio, ordenado y bello entorno
- Karla (10/5): Maravilloso - Sanador - Las instalaciones- atención y Ambiente
- Maddy (10/5): Bonita experiencia - Lugar muy tranquilo y agradable, desayuno exquisito.
- Christian (10/5): Como en tu casa con la naturaleza donde el tiempo se detuvo - Excelente ubicación, muy hogareño, limpio, personal muy amable y atento.. Almohadas un poco "bajas" (poco relleno), nada grave, pero a mi parecer un poco incomodas.
- Cid Emilio (10/5): De los mejores lugares que he estado en Vicuña - La atención de los dueños, las instalaciones y la pulcritud del lugar y el ambiente como su privilegiada ubicación a lado del museo Gabriela Mistral En si todo me gustó, solo que no me dijeron que podía pedir un desayuno mejorado (obviamente con costo extra) al que incluía el hospedaje y lo descubrí hasta que hice check out jaja pero bueno, les dejo el tip que ofrezcan eso cuando se hace check in.
- Luis Lautaro (8/5): - Excelente atención. Grata conversación con don Richard. Y el desayuno, maravilloso.
- Daniel (9/5): - Excelente ubicación al lado de la biblioteca de Gabriela Mistral.
- Celeste (10/5): Excelente experiencia. - Nuestra experiencia fue extraordinaria!
La cabaña estaba impecable, cómoda, acogedora, cada espacio estaba pensado para que nos sintieramos cómodos, incluido el calientacamas que fue un excelente detalle.
El anfitrion preocupado, respetuoso, nos dieron tips de lugares donde comer y visitar, lo que nos ayudó a gestionar mejor nuestro tiempo.
También destacar el desayuno, todo casero, fresco, abundante, exquisito para comenzar bien el día.
La ubicación es cercana al centro, lo que permite llegar caminando a la plaza. Es un barrio tranquilo y silencioso, lo que favorece el descanso.
En conclusión: Recomendado 100%. Todo me gustó
- Perez (10/5): Muy agradable, acogedor , buen anfitrión Richard, y muy simpática la sra Mary - El desayuno muy bueno y variado La ubicación de nuestra cama matrimonial..somos eso
- Marie-France (10/5): - Nous avons été logés dans une petite cabaña très mignonne alors que nous avions réservé une chambre quadruple pour 3 .
Le personnel est chaleureux et au petits soins. Très bons conseils de visites.
L’hôte parle francais couramment.
Le petit-dejeuner est incroyable avec un menu variable chaque jour et des produits excellents : confitures maison, fromage de chèvre et même du boursin maison que nous recommandons.
L’hostal est très bien situé, très proche du centre à pied et dispose d’un parking privé.
Nous recommandons ! Nous sommes tombés sur une semaine de mauvais temps avec du froid et de la pluie ce qui est extrêmement rare. Sans chauffage, nous avons eu froid dans la pièce principale. Heureusement, il y a des couvertures chauffantes dans les lits.

Prix élevé pour la prestation
- Pavla (10/5): Exceptional - Nice location, helpful personel, heating in the bed. N/A
- Martial (10/5): Exceptional - I can only recommend this place. Ricardo is really excellent advice and the place is perfect.
- Claudia (6/5): Ok for a night - The staff was nice and willing to assist with anything, breakfast was very good. The aspect of the bed linen, the lack of hand towels and a clean feet towel
- Tania (9/5): Superb -
- Juan (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (9/5): Great place to relax or do as much as you want. The people that are here are very knowledgeable about what there is to d - Good location, an easy walk to the town plaza.
We had a lovely room and all the people are very friendly and welcoming.
- Amy (9/5): Superb - Great location, awesome owners and staff, comfortable property and common areas.
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Richard and his staff make you feel like family. I would not consider going anywhere else in Vicuña. Terrific room, breakfast and wonderful host! Really relaxing backyard and all the amenities you need. A perfect stay.
- Horst (10/5): Exceptional - Top Location in Elqui,.. very friendly..
hard to find any better in this price region.
- Celia (10/5): Exceptional - We absolutely enjoyed our short but intense stay in Vicuña. The owner, Richard, is an amazing person who you should miss to meet. Thanks for everything !
- C. (9/5): Great stay with awesome breakfast - Breakfast war really good, a lot of handmade items, best breakfast so far in Chile, near to center, nice garden with a lot of nature A little bit cold in the room especially in the bathroom in the morning
- Rachael (9/5): Superb - Richard offers a warm welcome as you as soon as you enter and offers advice about the local tours. Our room was ready early which was a bonus and the breakfast with homemade items was the best and most filling we have had in our travels around south america. The location was great and the hostel felt quiet and secure. We really enjoyed our stay! The bathroom and common area could have been cleaner.
- Matt (10/5): Our favourite hostel in South America. - The words in this review will never do justice to our incredible stay at Hostal El Colibri, or do justice to the hospitality of Richard and his excellent staff. Richard is not only the best hostel owner we have come across during our travels in South America, but he is one of the most special people I have ever met in my entire life. The Elqui valley and Vicuña is a beautiful place with a unique energy - and Richard makes you feel this from the moment you are introduced. If I could give his hostel 100 stars I would - oh, and seeing the stars in the Elqui valley is a MUST. Likewise, the Lebanese eggs at breakfast are a MUST. Thank you Richard for a stay I will never forget. Nothing.
- Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mary (8/5): Quiet compound handy to historic center has hostal-like rooms and fascinating host - Secure walled compound was peaceful and attractive, with pretty landscaping. The host was gracious and fascinating to talk to, with an amazing, unexpected life history. He helped us line up an astronomical tour nearby for that evening, as one we hoped to take had been cancelled. Night staff received our delayed luggage for us while we were star-gazing, returning late. Owner preserves his own fruit and olives, makes preserves, etc. and sells them - a real foodie. Our room was very small and spartan. Bathroom had no soap. Breakfast was tasty but small. Had trouble tracking down staff to retrieve bags but eventually did find person who wasn't too cheerful at the disturbance. Owner chain-smoked throughout our lengthy, far ranging conversation.
- Erwin (9/5): Superb - Very friendly and personal approach upon arrival. Welcome with coffee! We did stay here already in the past, so we knew the hotel is really good
- Warren (6/5): Great location, breakfast was nice but so small amount, I would likely recommend people take a look - Owner was very helpful and knowledgeable. Nice atmosphere. Good location. Lovely dogs and if you like cats They have chickens and a cockerel so be prepared to be awake from daybreak!
- Linus (9/5): Superb -
- Chris (8/5): Good location, friendly staff, basic room. - Could not get the sink to run hot water. Needed to shave using cold water. The shower finally ran with hot water, so perhaps the system needed to run the hot water in the sink for a longer while to prime that circuit?
- Ben (9/5): A great place to stay in Vicuna - Lovely hotel in a great central location with walking distance to the center of town. Decent sized room, good breakfast with quality local ingredients. Friendly and helpful staff. Secure parking. Not sure why I had to pay upfront a week before, but not a massive issue.
- Gary (10/5): A fabulous, comfortable place to stay - It feels like coming home. Richard and Mary could not be more welcoming or kind.
The breakfasts are all extremely good but I would recommend that you try the Lebanese breakfast, a complete meal in itself...we didn't need lunch or dinner afterwards!
The cabin we had was very clean, comfortable and spacious.
A bonus is that there is a laundry service available at a very reasonable price.
The restaurants that Richard recommended were all excellent, but by a whisker the Italian was the best. There was nothing to dislike at all
- Liam (10/5): One of best places we've stayed - Fantastic space, peaceful, local, relaxing atmosphere. Can make your own coffee, dogs and cats around, really good shower. Close to distillery and viewpoint, still close to town. Really helpful and friendly but left to enjoy amazing breakfast and lovely grounds.
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rebecca (9/5): Superb - Very welcoming staff/host and grounds are very relaxing and comfortable. Short walk to the center of town. They gave some excellent recommendations on what to see and do locally. Would stay again if I return to Vicuña.
- Kristyna (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing friendly host with interrsting history. Delicious breakfast totally worth it to pay extra. Very nice space with cozy common spaces. Funny and friendly dog.
- Emma (10/5): great place, stay here if you go to vicuna! - the woman who greeted us and looked after us the whole trip was SO lovely despite a language barrier, did everything she could to help us!
room was really big
kitchen and living shared area was clean
outside space was incredible, beautifully up-kept
dogs were an added bonus! loved it would have liked our bins emptied at some point in our stay but very minor
- Laurens (8/5): Very good -
- Rania (10/5): Fantastic stay, would return in a heartbeat - Loved everything about it! From the grounds, to the staff, to the cute dogs. Very clean. Staff knowledgeable about the area and were able to give me good recommendations about what to see and do.
Located in a quiet part of vicuna, only 10 minute walk from the bus terminal and the centre of town. Everything was perfect
- Lukasz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Trevor (10/5): Exceptional -
