- Gyuvin (8/5): Very good -
- Dorin (9/5): Superb -
- Chris (8/5): Friendly and helpful host and accommodation in a good location. -
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - What a lovely, cozy and peaceful place and Fernanada and her beautiful family (animals including^^) made me feel very welcome. Thank you so much and I hope to return again soon. Paul Kim from Corea
- Kirubbanandhan (8/5): Very good -
- Tina (8/5): Nice and cozy for a good value. - It was really welcoming and felt like a cozy home. For our taste it was way too warm and no chance to open a window in the room.
- Jill (7/5): Goof stay - Comfortable stay. Spacious rooms that were clean. The kitchen was well equipped. So nice having dogs and cats around. Good communication with the host. We didn't mind but it is a bit of a walk from the town. The gas ignitor button on the cooker is very temperamental and can take a long time for gas to ignite. We would feel better if there was locks on the room door.
- Elie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dewander (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabriel (10/5): Excellent - Very cozy place to stay. It’s right in the city center. 5 minutes away from restaurants and everything. There is a supermarket nearby as well. Clean and affordable place.
- Alejandro (10/5): A lovely hostel run by a very nice family - Cozy place, the room was perfect I enjoyed my time there even though I didn’t spend much time at the house
- Yolanda (7/5): Good -
- Jing (9/5): Superb - the host is an elgant lady, very beautiful design decorations house, and everywhere is clean of course. Supermarket is close, 2 mins walk. it's not a big deal, just the down bed was so low that I hit my head couples of times.
- Noor (6/5): Shared room instead of private - Location, car parking before the door Apparently if you book here, you make a reservation for a bed in a shared room instead of booking a private room. When I talked about this with the owner, she said I should have known based on the price asked. She was not very friendly. I also did not like all the cats, I saw them crawling in several beds. Bathroom was also not that clean.
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (10/5): Lovely, hope to come back - I have nothing but good things to say about Fernanda and Le Baobab. Her place is lovely, cozy and comfortable. Everything is perfectly clean. I loved hanging out with her pets. I highly recommend this place, and I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in El Calafate again. At night, the shower can take a second to get hot, but it gets there.
- Gabriele (10/5): Exceptional - I felt home. Recommended!
- Jie (7/5): It was a good experience when staying in here. - The host is very friendly and helpful. The plants are beautiful and the dogs and cats are so cute. Nothing
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Flavia (8/5): Very good - The host and her family were very welcoming and helpful.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (7/5): Nice stay in a good location! - The location and WiFi. We left an adaptor at the property, which was found and returned to us! We booked a family room(?) but were given two beds in a dorm room. This is perhaps misleading as a family room to us would be a private room. Could not pay with card.
- Anna (10/5): A great stay - A very cosy and relaxing place to stay, with nice rooms that are well heated. Everyone was nice and friendly, and the dogs and cats are so cute!
- George (10/5): Exceptional - Fernanda was incredibly welcoming and her place is in a great location.
- Kelly (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nadine (4/5): Disappointing - The host was super nice and got us a taxi, was very flexible and let us leave on short notice without charging a fee The kitchen wasn’t cleaned, there was lots of animal hair on the floor and the smell wasn’t so good
- Lisianne (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything! Fernanda was a lovely host and made us feel at home. We had everything we needed and great location.
- Angeliki (10/5): Exceptional - Totally recommended! We felt at home from the first moment. Very warm, kind and welcoming people.
- Florencia (8/5): Very good -
- Krystian (9/5): Superb - I booked place for 6 hours to leave luggage. Owner very friendly i was treated nicely all the time.
- Simone (9/5): Superb - Very friendly host, clean and central! Rooms are very small
- Igor (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable rooms and beds. Good shower at bathroom. Host was very kind and helpful.
