• Marius (10/5): -
• Nina (10/5): Felt like visiting friends - The welcoming was really nice, the host also invited me for dinner and we sat outside in the area infront of the hostel for some barbecue and beers. The surrounding was really chill and I felt super safe there. The bed was super comfortable. I stayed couple nights in the dorm and also in the single room upstairs. The whole hostel was super clean and really good price-performance ratio. If you want to pay by card just pay attention because you have to pay 1$ more (11$ instead of 10$), but that’s normal for traveling and paying with card. You can als pay with cash, which I would recommend. Note: they have a dog which is also going around the streets, so if you’re allergic or whatever please keep that in mind :) but he’s super cute though
• Pinzón (10/5): Hospitalidad - Las habitaciones eran cómodas, Rafael y su mamá muy amables, buscando la comodidad de los huéspedes. Todo me gustó
• Mauro danilo (8/5): -
• Dafne (10/5): - Rafa was an incredible and welcoming host. The house is very clean and the restroom is very big. The room was comfortable and the location strategic for the airport.
• Zamora (10/5): Ideal para compartir con otros viajeros - lo impecable que estaba el lugar y la amabilidad con la que me recibieron, tanto Rafa el dueño y los huéspedes que habían, terminamos compartiendo entre todos una muy linda cena 🫂💖 que no me haya podido quedar más ❤️‍🩹
• Vitor (10/5): Rafael es un tipo genial y me presentó a Santiago!!! - Todo estaba limpio y cómodo.
• Gabrielle (1/5): FUYEZ CET ENDROIT - - La présence du chien et la sympathie de Lucy la mère du propriétaire - Ce n’est pas un hostel mais une maison avec chambre à l’étage - Endroit très sale, des poils de chien partout, des cheveux sur le lit, une cuisine petite désastreuse avec un scooter en plein milieu - Chambre sans fenêtre, lit avec ressort affreux pour le dos - Propriétaire absent, présent seulement en visio, j’ai été victime de harcèlement intense sur WhatsApp (plus d’une trentaine de message) et ai était obligé de signaler ce comportement, cette personne est malsaine et dangereuse… FUYEZ CET ENDROIT
• Nelson Leonardo (7/5): -
• Marcelo (10/5): Buena onda :) - Que tenia todo lo necesario para una estancia óptima
• Olivia (10/5): Super nahe am Flughafen - Die Bäder waren super sauber, die Betten gemütlich und das Personal mega freundlich. Und alles zu einem günstigen Preis und nahe am Flughafen.
• Galaschi Risso (10/5): Excelente -
• Lisa (10/5): - Super kind and welcoming – Rafa even waited for us until 1 a.m. because we had problems at the airport. The atmosphere felt very family-like, and the shared bathroom was also very clean. We definitely come back! :)
• Öberg (9/5): - Personalet var meget flinke og man kan aftale afhentning og aflevering i lufthavnen for en fair pris
• ESTHER (6/5): -
• Daiki (10/5): 楽しい想い出となりました！ - オーナーのラファエルがとても親切でした！ 気遣いを沢山して頂きました。 一緒にバーベキューもして、とても楽しい思い出ができました！ 市内からのアクセスが少し大変。
• Nikolle (10/5): Fue muy buena me gustó mucho, me gustaría volver💕 - Muy amable el anfitrión
• Matúš (9/5): - It's great place if you need to stay close to the airport. Rafael is very outgoing host willing to help you with any problem you have. I would recommend it to you if you're looking for something short and close to the airport. There are also great empanadas across the street! Everything was good.
• Juan Diego (10/5): - Súper bueno, muy ordenado y siempre limpio Rafa muy amable y juega mucho al FIFA jaja volveré 😎
• Maud (9/5): - Très bon rapport qualité prix ! Proche de l’aéroport et personnel très sympathique
• osvaldo (10/5): Lugar tranquilo y familiar - Lugar muy tranquilo y perfecto para descansar, las camas son muy cómodas y poco ruido, perfecto para dormir, y el baño muy limpio.
• Eduardo (10/5): -
• Eduardo (10/5): Feels like home. - Clean and with a very good location near the international airport. I have nothing bad to say about it.
• Sarazin (10/5): - Très bon accueil ! Très convivial
• Summer (1/5): Don’t recommend - Genuinely one of the dirtiest hostels I’ve been in. The other guests never flushed the toilet, the toilet broke while I was there, and there was no hot water for the shower. The floors are covered in dog hair and muck. Not in a pleasant neighborhood either.
• Michael (8/5): Lives up to the name of proximity to the airport and has a very friendly host. - Rafael, the main host/owner was very friendly and helpful. Had no problem with me arriving late as he and another guest were playing Fifa on a PS5. He showed me around the property and even connected me with his neighbor who is a driver (I had an early flight the next morning and needed a safe and quick way to the airport before sunrise). Also hooked me up with a towel and let me use the shower facilities after standard hours. Great hospitality, convenient location for airport access and great price. Neighborhood was a little questionable at night but can't accurately assess the environment as I wasn't there in daytime.
• Shoya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ryan (9/5): Superb - Friendly owner with a comfortable well run hostel. The hostel serves its purpose well being near the airport and has a very good food truck across the street to grab a meal. Location isn't the nicest but this is as expected being close to the airport.
• Gerald (8/5): Very good -
• Koi (7/5): Good -
• Koi (8/5): Very good -
• Sarah (8/5): A lovely atmosphere and thoughtful host and really only a 10 min drive to the airport - Rafael was a kind and considerate host. The hostel is small but really clean and tidy. The mural and wall paintings give it a unique feeling. The kitchen was very clean and well equipped ( super cooking range!) and Rafael provided fruit everyday I was there - a nice touch which I appreciated. I was concerned about the area but the street is a very good one and I went to a service at the church at the end of the street and felt welcomed.
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Zane (8/5): Nice, simple hostel about 15 minutes from the airport -
• Alexander (8/5): Very good - The owner is super nice! It felt like a small social guest house. Bueno! The only thing was how hot the room was. The top bunks where particulary hot, maybe they need their own fans?
• Andre (10/5): Amazingggg - Amazing place! Rafael is the man show me the neighborhood around! It’s an amazing place if you want the real experience in Santiago! I loved everything
• Matthew (4/5): This is a basic, and cheap place to stay, but it’s not close to the airport. - The owner was very personable and the place was clean. The bedrooms were unbearably hot, there is one bathroom for the entire house, the place was very difficult to find. The house is not particularly close to the airport.
• Stanley (9/5): Superb - I liked the atmosphere. There were friendly people, and he was a great host. I speak Spanish, which helped. When you get used to the location, it's no problem, but you may need a day to get orientated.. when there is some food prepared, he is willing to share, which is generous of him. The stairs take a bit to get used to, especially if you are tall. The taxi driver warned me about the neighborhood, but if you avoid some parts, you are fine. It can get hot in rooms in the summer or cold in winter as there is less heating or air conditioning than in the US, but that is Chile in general. The transportation system getting there is overwhelming at first, and i still have not mastered it. If you are flexible, I found him to be a great host.
• Nana (7/5): Good - The staff is very nice. Good for a night of layover It’s like staying someone’s house, not like a hostel.
• Sylvia (9/5): Superb - Very close to the airport. The staff is also very welcoming and very friendly. Nothing.
• Zecharia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Grace (7/5): Good -
• Daniel (8/5): Very good - Good location closer to airport than other spots of Santiago, so cheaper Uber Dorm was a little small and without windows
• Natella (7/5): Good -
• Gabriel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pedro (10/5): Very Good Hostel - Te host Rafa is amazing. Very helpfull Hostel very close to public transports and airport. Nothing.
• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katie (10/5): Clean, simple but very welcoming hostel - Stayed here during a layover in Santiago and it’s close proximity to the airport was perfect. Rafael was very friendly and helpful, I enjoyed chatting to him. The hostel is simple but comfortable and very clean! If you’re looking for an authentic, communal style hostal, this is the place for you.
• James (9/5): Superb - Close to the airport and the host was great.
• Nahuel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Luis (10/5): Exceptional - All property is really good
• Tiklu (10/5): Nice place - Nice place and nice people. Rafael is a wonderful host. It was a bit cold inside
• Thais (10/5): Good, comfortable and cheap. - Super comfortable, clean bathroom. Rafael is wonderful, he helps with whater needs. Nothing.
• Jacky (6/5): Alright - Staff were lovely and was close to the airport They, maybe accidentally, overcharged us compared to what Booking.com told us it would cost
• Georgina (10/5): This host (Rafael) goes above and beyond to make your stay great! - It's perfectly located near the airport with a supermarket within walking distance and a nice kitchen to use. I slept so well that when I didn't know what day it was or if it was night or day when I finally woke up (at 9.30am). But the best part is Rafael and his mum - top notch human beings! He messaged with details of how to get there smoothly let me check in at 7.30am, reminded me when I was late for my next flight and then offered to drive me to the airport when the Uber was taking too long (as I was running late. So kind 🥰
• Dario (8/5): Very good -
• Leigh (5/5): Passable -
• Aline (10/5): Exceptional - Recepção do Anfitrião.
• Simon (9/5): Great family welcomes you in their house in a part of Santiago you wouldn't get to know otherwise - Our host was the best - he even hiked up the local viewpoint with us!
• Udayan (7/5): Good - Warm and helping hosts and a location fairly close to the airport. The rooms could have been better.
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts are amazingly incredible souls! It was cozy and funny staying in there for a while. Me and Rafael went on a hiking to the higher point of Santiago do not hesitate in staying in Backpackers House you won't regret it! There's no negative points to me c:
• Morand (10/5): Exceptional - Best hoste ever
• Leo (4/5): Unprofessional - Close to airport No signage, wrong address, hard to find. Host was super high when I arrived and weed smell was everywhere. He also tried to gaslight me to not walk on the mountain because he wanted to sell his tour.
• Kari (8/5): Wish I would’ve stayed my whole time in Santiago here - Perfect place to sleep beds were comfy , I felt like I was sleeping at someone’s home rather than a hostel. Very cozy, close to the airport. Got in late at midnight and got some good sleep then left for airport. This hostel was very welcoming and cozy compared to other in Santiago wish I would’ve found before.The address on google isn’t exactly correct but just look for the colourful building , also showers with hot water , perfect
• Fernando (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hans (8/5): Helpfull staff - Very helpfull staff Close to the airport Bad english level
• Beatriz (3/5): I ended up leaving because I didn't like it - The staff was friendly. I got the feeling that the location is not good. I got a uber from the airport to the hostel and the driver didn't even want to drive me into that area of town. He was shocked there was a hostel around. When we got there I could see why. I didn't stay long but the area looked pretty rough, I was afraid to leave the hostel and walk around. The hostel is not super well connected in terms of public transportation. I was trying to get downtown and the closest metro was 45 min walking. They advertise that the hostel is close to the airport, and as I had an early flight this is why I decided to stay. However, it was still 20 mins from the airport until there, I took event less from Providencia to the airport.
• Alejandra (10/5): Exceptional - Close to the airport, clean and tidy. Host was very friendly. He helped us with everything we needed. Highly recommend it!
• Jatin (8/5): Very good -
• Carsten (4/5): Only okay if you just sleep there to catch a flight the next day! - - Raphael, who works there, is nice - really good WiFi - It’s a dangerous district - hard to find, even for taxi and uber drivers - 24hours Reception does not really exists
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yash (10/5): Exceptional - The owner of the hostel is very nice and helpful The theme of the hostel and nature of owner
• Vadim (9/5): Superb -
• Aguida (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emma (10/5): Gracias para todo amigos, hasta pronto! - Rafa, his mom and Lea are the best hosts and make the cozy little hostel feel like home immediately. They go out of there way to make sure everyone feels welcome and has a good experience. Also the location is perfect if you have to go to the airport (Rafa even organized a taxi for us and got up at 5am to say goodbye). Would definitely recommend this hostel!
• Nitsan (8/5): Very good -
• Joshua (10/5): Exceptional - It was so tranquil and Rafael and Luz were so welcoming and lovely. Made me feel right at home.
• Mattia (10/5): Great place - Special place not too far from the city centre. Rafael and his mother are great people and always available, even to take a beer togheter. Looks like to be at your own home and not in a hostel and that's a great thing. I recommend it. Nothing
• Benedict (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cruz (8/5): Very good -
• Juliana (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is very friendly. Room and bathroom are very clean.
• Justin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brian (1/5): crap - nada loud
• Mark (5/5): Accommodation ok for a cheap night near the airport, maybe try to organise an alternative transfer. - My phone was stolen that day, so once I arrived Rafael was kind enough to walk with me to the police station to file a report (because I didn’t have a phone to navigate). By the time I got back from that, it was time to get to bed given I had a super early airport check in. Rafael organised the transfer in what he said was a trusted service. The transfer was arranged for 3 am because Rafael said the road to the airport can get very busy in the morning, even though I had a 6 am domestic flight. I didn’t sleep a wink, but that’s likely a reflection of my reaction to the previous day. However, Rafael said as part of the transfer package, which I think was likely considerably more expensive than a standard fare, he’d get up and wake me up - but that didn’t happen. At about 3.30 am the 3 am transfer still wasn’t there. They must have called Rafael and woken him, because he said I wasn’t there at 3 am (when I was ready and waiting downstairs from 2.50) but another transfer was coming. The second transfer went fine and got me to the airport far too early (zero traffic), but then seemed to ask me to pay because Rafael hadn’t paid him. I told him how much I had paid Rafael and that he should talk to him, which did the trick.
• Silvan91 (7/5): Good and cheap stay before a flight - Everything was clean, comfortable beds, super friendly host For a night before you have a flight it's good, still assume to pay at least 18.000-20.000 pesos for a taxi to the airport. No shelf or anything to put your stuff at night at the upper beds
• Krysta (10/5): Clean, accommodating and good energy! - the hostal was very clean! Rafa was incredibly accommodating and helped me find the best route to get to the hostal. It’s a very family feel and he was super inviting anytime I had no plans to go hang out with him and his friends. He was always available when I had any questions! nothing
• Miho (1/5): Terrible - Terrible hotel that overcharges I have not received a refund yet I have been waiting for 2 months and still no reply everyone please be careful
• Madlaina (10/5): Exceptional - We arrived late, but Rafael stayed up and was very helpful and friendly. We immediatelty felt welcome and were even given tea with fresh herbs to calm an upset stomach. Just Like being home with your mother
