• Samira (10/5): Excelentes consejos para el viaje - Todo! La gente es increíble:)
• Itay (7/5): - The beds are comfortable and there are curtains, the kitchen is well equipped, the volunteering staff were nice, and the cat Chuchoca is cute. There are some card games available, and free tea and coffee. The light doesn't work in one of the showers, and in another one, part of the shower is broken. The rooms are freezing cold, the pans in the kitchen are broken, and the owner could have been nicer, I only turned on the heating because it was so cold and she came yelling at me "don't touch".

• Gonzalo (7/5): -
• Mario (9/5): Muy buen lugar para hospedarse en Castro - Excelente ubicación, la habitación sencilla pero con todo lo necesario para descansar adecuadamente. Y destacar que del alojamiento tuvieron la gentileza de facilitarme ducha antes del check-in después de llegar de mi viaje nocturno desde Santiago. El único detalle es que el enchufe quedaba lejos de la cama como para cargar el celular

• Pedro (10/5): - Lo amables que son todos.
• Laurent (6/5): - Le personnel très sympathique, accueillant, et de bons conseils, emplacement en ville assez pratique Lieu assez sombre et froid, rue assez bruyante, espaces communs assez sales
• Paivi (9/5): Nice hostel, recycling was good - Lähellä keskustaa, henkilökunta oli hyvin palvelualtista ja kuunteli kysymykset. Kierrätyksestä lisäpisteet. Yhteiset tilat olivat viihtyisät. Huone tuntui melko ahtaalta mutta ei kuitenkaan toimimaton. Ikkuna oli jäänyt yöksi auki joten tuli vähän viileä mutta kun löysimme syyn niin tuli lämpimämpi.
• Bustos (7/5): -
• Guillermo Raul (4/5): - La ubicación es buena Falta orden y limpieza
• Marisolle24 (7/5): Bof - L'emplacement près du centre et des commodités. Situé à 1 km de la gare de bus. Il y a une cuisine mais l'équipement est vieux. Elle est encombré et pleins de trucs traîne partout. La chambre est petite et vraiment pas insonorisé. J'entends les ronflements de la chambre à côté et les gens parler. Pas de fenêtre, humide. Les lieux communs ne sont pas propice à la détente. A besoin d'une sérieuse rénovation.
• Shu Jen (10/5): -
• Raúl (9/5): Ideal para llegar a dormir y salir a recorrer todo el día por Chiloé - La preocupación y atención de las chicas que estaban en recepción. La ubicación del hostal y la comodidad de la habitación con baño individual, en tercer piso. Considerando las características de un hostal, donde se comparten espacios con otras personas, se debe tener tolerancia a ciertas costumbres que pueden incomodar (gente que deja desordenado, o sucio en espacios como cocina), entendiendo que no es responsabilidad de las personas en recepción estar recogiendo las cosas de lxs pasajerxs.
• Francisco (10/5): Excelente alojamiento - La ubicación, la predisposición del personal, la gatira
• Maria Carmen (10/5): Una buena calidad precio con gente encantadora - La atención de sus recepcionistas fue cariñosa y sus recomendaciones fueron de una gran ayuda. Tanto Fran, Camila y en resto de las recepcionistas son encantadoras En hotel está muy bien. Algunos viajeros no se dan cuenta de que hay más gente utilizando la cocina y no limpian su parte. Pero esto las que llevan en hostal no lo pueden remediar.

• Meilir (9/5): Great choice for Castro - Great choice for Castro. Delightful and helpful staff, with fluent English spoken. Thank you for your help on what to do during my stay in Chiloe. The other main highlight was of course the cat!
• * (1/5): -
• FRANCO (8/5): - La ubicacion del hostal
• Maria (10/5): - Big spaces, very clean
• Michael (10/5): A Nice Stay in Castro - A very helpful owner and staff. The owner had great advice on where to visit, including a great penguin tour that I took on my last day. The room was also good, with a private bath. The common area was spacious too. I can't think of anything that I did not like. I would definitely stay here should I ever visit Castro again. I highly recommend.
• Malen (10/5): - Todas las personas de la recepción fueron muy amables y me hicieron sentir como.en casa Muy buena información y disponibilidad para resolver dudas e inconvenientes,en especial Cami y Fran que me ayudaron con un problema externo
• Reginaldo (10/5): Excelente estadia - O hostel é bem tranquilo, o quarto tem um bom espaço e a cama é bem confortável. Uma cozinha muito boa com todos os utensílios. Um ambiente tranquilo e agradável.
• claudio (9/5): Buena experiencia - La cercanía con el centro de la ciudad No tengo un comentario
• Hugo (10/5): -
• Lee (8/5): Decent place, would recommend and stay again if I returned - I really like this place, well located, friendly staff, clean, didn't actually end up cooking whilst there but kitchen did seem well equipped, and tea / coffee available, when I first arrived there was also real coffee and not just instant which was a very welcome bonus, not sure if that's a permanent thing but was very nice. I booked the same place when I returned to Castro for another night a little later on without even considering another. Beds have curtains, bathrooms decent with nice showers, pressure and temperature, nice communal space, has lockers available Very minor point but the curtains on the beds are a bit thin and slightly translucent, but still much better than not having them
• Cristian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bar (9/5): Superb -
• Garth (8/5): Good - Good location, solid WiFi, warm shower, lockers | dorm beds have privacy curtains | functional kitchen | potable water | coffee & tea provided | restful & comfortable stay | cute hostel cat, too!
• Silvio (10/5): Exceptional - Really helpfull. Comfy beds. Good Showers. Location is top. Cute cat :) Nothing
• Choon (9/5): Superb -
• Anna (8/5): Nice place to stay in Castro - The manager is really helpful and kind! Kitchen is well equipped and everything is clean. I really liked the individual outlets and reading lamps for every bunk bed in the dorm rooms. There are plenty of bathrooms and the showers are consistently hot. No complaints
• Alberto (7/5): Good -
• Alexandra (8/5): Very good - Great and big kitchen with everthing you need. Privacy in the bedrooms thanks to the curtains, possibility to charge your phone even from the high bunk. Cold in the bathrooms because no heating.
• Enna (9/5): Superb - the beds had curtains so one was able to get a bit of privacy and shut out the light when in bed. The common area was comfy and nice to be in I’m still having troubles with Chilean door locks but I guess that’s just something to get used to
• Banan314 (9/5): Superb - Great location near the plaza and terminal, very clean and the shower hot and nice. Reasonably much space for the luggage. Big lockers 🛅 and enough for everyone. Big bathroom with facilities. A lot of blankets 🛏️ to keep me warm at night and night 🛋️ lamp I had a bed next to the street, it wasn't possible to fully block the sunlight and street lamp light using the curtains. The room door was difficult to close, it opened from time to time. Also locker doors.
• Ana (6/5): Pleasant - Lack of cleaning.
• Mteny (9/5): Superb - Nice staff, nice kitchen and common area. Beds were comfortable with privacy curtains and outlets. Sociable and friendly! My bed was right next to the street so it was a bit loud at night.
• Miroslava (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fran (8/5): Very good - Location and helpful staff
• Geraldine (5/5): Passable - Central location . Room was fine I don't know, not awful or anything... I booked this because the reviews made me think they spoke English. When I arrived I was stressed because I'd just picked up a hire car and wasn't used to driving on the right instead of left, I'n a car I wasn't used to , in a new city. I'd parked In a place you weren't supposed to. Guy on reception said he would prefer to speak.spanish even though he spoke English. Added to my stress as I just suddenly forgot all my Spanish. Then girl came along who spoke English but she kept going on about how stressed I was which made me worse and when I was writing down door code and room number she asked me why I couldn't remember . I'm 57, perhaps I should just stay In hotels where they treat you as the customer instead of hostels where they can sometimes treat you like you're in school telling you all.the rules . This one anyway . But the room was fine
• Zsófia (9/5): Superb - good location, owner of the hostel is super knowledgable about what to see and do and she gave me very useful tips and suggestions

• Nathalie (7/5): A simple hostel - A nice places on chiloe island. I made some nice friends. Comfi beds. Oke showers. I had hot water haha..all you need..lovely reception. Good location.. I think their can be more done to maintain the property! Especially the kitchen. Horrible hygiëne. To small for all the People but we managed to cook. The bathrooms can need cleans daily and more often than that. The rubbish bin were mostly more than 24h full. It would be good to have a shower mat too..other than that i had a good stay
• Jennifer (10/5): The hostel where you feel like at home! - Probably one of my best stay in Chile! You feel immediately like at home, in a big beautiful house with everything you need: full equipment kitchen and big and cozy living room. The location is perfect, few meters from a nice bakery, restaurants, cafe, bars, banks, supermarkets, well everything you need. Castro is also a nice city, cool vibe. Big up to the owner, she’s super friendly and welcoming, and all the volunteers. :) I miss already this place! I was supposed to stay 3/4 nights and I stayed there 8 nights. <3
• Corentin (9/5): Superb -
• D (10/5): Exceptional - It was great, i stayed 11 days+ (Bath)rooms were nice and clean Kitchen has everything you need Livingroom was big and cosy, a perfect way for meeting other travellers and has a tv with oldschool videogames Lavanderie service available Staff is extremely friendly and helpfull In 10 years of travelling the best hostel i ever stayed in, would recommend it to everyone!
