Guest Reviews

• Eva (7/5): Cómodo y bueno - Personal muy amable y estancia cómoda. Añadiría algo de calefacción en los baños, al ser un sitio de altura hace mucho frío. Pero el resto todo bien.

• Juliette (9/5): Leuke vriendelijke plek - Schattig plekje met binnentuin. Een spiegel in de badkamer of kamer was prettig geweest.
• Luciana (9/5): -
• Berenguer (8/5): Comodo. - Lo mas agradable, la atencion del personal femenino, unas diosas. Todo muy tranquilo. La altura del umbral de la cocina, le di dos veces con la cabeza, jaja.
• Mauro Ezequiel (10/5): - La atención de todos los chicos. Desde el primer momento que llegué me hicieron sentir cómodo. También destacar la atención de Alex que me indicó un mirador para ir el cual desconocía completamente!
• Siu Cheung (8/5): nice staff but isolated location - nice & helpful staff. long distance to bus terminal, toilet & kitchen need to pass through the open area. be consider the rainy day and winter. More mosquito at night.
• Alice (10/5): -
• Tom (9/5): - Le personnel était top, une terrasse très sympa et très bien placé pour un prix plus que raisonnable
• Prune Ilona Lucia (8/5): -
• Mathieu (8/5): -
• Daniela (7/5): - Los chicos que atienden son muy amables y dispuestos a darte toda la información que necesites. El internet funciona muy bien, tienen dos gatos hermosos y cariñosos. Una durmió conmigo y me encantó jaja Todo muy limpio, la camas muy cómodas. Y muy tranquilo, en la noche mucho silencio. Que no me pareció tan cerca del todo del centro, sí un poco de la terminal. Y en la noche esa calle se pone muy sola y es oscura.
• Mathilde (8/5): - El Hostel es muy lindo El servicio de lavadora es poco caro Las mujeres ayudan y pueden organizar excursiones El desayuno es muy simple (pan seco, frutos cortados, marmelada)
• Georgina (10/5): -

• Clément (10/5): Hostel très agréable - Personnel très sympa, le lieu est jolie et agréable. Les chats sont très domestiques. Nous avions de la place dans la rue pour nous garer. Les douches/toilettes communs sont propres et sentent bons ! À 5minutes à pied du cœur de Humahuaca. Le petit déjeuner aurait pu être un peu plus important sinon RAS

• Eric (9/5): Super découverte - L’emplacement de l’hôtel, la simplicité, la possibilité de se garer devant, Nico nous a donné d’excellents conseils pour organiser nos journées, propre et bien décoré, rapport qualité, prix imbattable
• Guest (10/5): Impecable - Espectacular lugar para quedarse. Las personas que atienden súper atentas y buena onda. La habitación impecable, los baños siempre limpios, la cocina súper equipada. Lo mejor del lugar: la dueña Adolfa, una hermosa gata que vino a dormir una noche con nosotros. Si sos fan de los animales es el lugar ideal.
• Pirroncello (10/5): - Muy cómoda la habitación. Posibilidad de baño privado. Muy amable la mujer que nos atendió!
• Aldana (10/5): - Hermoso lugar y gente, dan ganas de quedarse!!!
• Pacheco (10/5): - La cama la almohada cuando llegas y quiere dormir después de andar tanto al igual que la ducha, el personal muy amable
• Garcul (10/5): -
• Ramon (9/5): Muy lindo y prolijo.super desayuno gracias por recibirnos! - Toda la ambientación, y la ubicación. Tiene baños compartidos y para acceder hay que pasar por un patio, si hace frío o llueve es un problema.
• Florian (8/5): Gemütliches Hostel - Sehr nettes Hostel, etwas abseits vom center. Schöner Außenbereich, der vielleicht noch eine Sonnensegel vertragen könnte. Küche hat alles da. Wäscheservice auch gut. Die Katze verhält sich vorbildlich. Gutes Personal. Viele Sitzmöglichkeiten. Gutes WiFi. Die oberen Betten im 8er Zimmer sind sehr instabil. Man merkt jede Bewegung der Person im unteren Bett. Das könnte man mit einem vertikal angebrachten Brett auf der Rückseite lösen.
• Malena (10/5): -
• Ludmila (10/5): -
• Silvia (9/5): Una de cal, una de arena. - La estética del Hostel es preciosa. Súper buen gusto. Todo muy bien acondicionado y pintado. La pieza que me tocó, con mucho glamour.Creo que es uno de los hostels más lindos que estuve en mi vida. La comodidad y aislación de la pieza privada, 10/10. Muy buen desayuno. La ubicación es lejos de la terminal y lejos del centro. Si vas con mochila, si llegas de noche, el trecho se hace largo. Si vas en auto, esta todo bien. La cocina está muy poco equipada y no está bien, a la altura del resto de las instalaciones. Tuve un problema. Hice dos reservas, la del segundo día me llamaron para decirme que estaba cancelada por un defecto con el sistema con Booking. Eso complicó bastante mis planes. No sé por qué hicieron eso.

• Guest (10/5): - Es war alles perfekt. Wir waren 8 Leute und konnten abends kochen und draußen und essen. Die Zimmer waren sauber und wir wurden herzlich empfangen.
• Evangelina (8/5): Hermosos días en el Mestiza Hostel - Excelente desayuno, colchón súper cómodo, si bien los baños son compartidos, hay 4 habitaciones y 4 baños. Excelente el agua caliente para la ducha y disponibilidad de uso de la cocina compartida todo el día. Mención aparte, el trabajo de las voluntarias es excelente!!! Siempre hay una o dos personas a cualquier hora para asistirte en lo que necesites. En booking decía que se podía pagar en el hotel a la llegada. Debido a temporada alta me solicitaron el pago del 50% como seña, pero al llegar al hotel, el saldo me lo quisieron cobrar con una diferencia de precio por el cambio de USS a pesos, siendo que al pagar el 50% ya me habían calculado el valor al cambio oficial. Muy confuso todo.
• Enrique Foschiatti (10/5): - La atención de los que trabajan en el hostel!
• Julia (9/5): -

• Rémi (9/5): -

• Guest (10/5): Una noche mágica - Me pareció excelente la atención de los voluntarios y el espacio es muy lindo
• Agustín Eduardo (10/5): -
• Senka (9/5): Superb - I really liked the simplistic vibe of the hostel, especially the attention that the two cats and occasional stray dogs are getting. The bathrooms are adjacent to the sleeping area, but very well organized, so that was not a problem. The yard was amazing to chill and work, but only while there was sun - otherwise it would get too cold. There are no lockers in shared room, but I felt safe
• Ryoko (1/5): Bad - This hostel, too, is very deceptive in that Argentinian hostels list their properties on USD terms, but when you get there, they apply an exchange rate that's far favorable to them than a current exchange rate, enabling them to charge travelers more in Argentinian pesos than what was originally displayed in USD on Booking.com. Because this hostel did that to me, I actually ran out of cash and had to run to a money exchange to get last minute Argentinian pesos despite my leaving for Bolivia soon after this. I really hate Argentinians. I have traveled throughout the country and had very bad experiences at many places, and now confidently say that they really are bad people and it's extremely difficult to find honest Argentinians. Just as they keep defaulting on national debts, Argentinians are very irresponsible and I would never ever want to go back or have anything to do with them.
• Magdalena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Evie (10/5): 100% recommend! - We really enjoyed our stay at Mestiza Hostal! Less than a 10 minute walk from the bus station and we felt at home immediately. Our room was spacious yet cosy and the hostel itself is really pretty (I especially liked the courtyard). The staff were excellent, especially Camila and we loved hanging out with the resident cats. They only accept cash payment, but this wasn’t a problem as we knew in advance and could get the money out!
• Manuel (10/5): Peaceful, Welcoming and Clean - The volunteers were very helpful and the place was very peaceful. I could easily have stayed for months! The cute cats were a welcome and added bonus. The breakfast even though good, could have been more copious.
• Harmen (8/5): Very good -
• Alexis (6/5): Pleasant -
• Soledad (9/5): Nice stay in Humahuaca - Very friendly and helpful staff. We could stay in the shared areas before check in and after check out. The rooms are lovely decorated. Clean and nice. Beautiful garden. Breakfast was a bit tiny and boring.
• Candice (7/5): Good -
• Yuhua (8/5): Very good - The staff are kind and friendly. It’s a cozy room and comfortable bed. The breakfast was good! Nice atmosphere in the hostel. There are 2 cute cats. The kitchen is a bit tiny.
• Kata (3/5): They don't follow the normal USD - ARG peso rate, they charged everyone extra with the Blue dolar - The hostel would be very nice, the only problem is they charge you the Blue dolar rate and you will only see this after you reserved with Booking.com so you can't cancel your stay. They refuse to send me an invoce in both currencies because of course the USD rate is the normal one that all accomodations have to follow here on the app. Breakfast is super small, maybe enough for a baby. If you don't want surprises when you arrive and you want to know exactly how much you need to pay don't stay with them.
• Mohamed (7/5): Good - Good for what you pay for hostal life. The staff were really friendly and super helpful. Cat smell on the sheet and room in general.
• Stanley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yannick (9/5): Superb - Comfortable room, attentive staff, cats on premises The door couldn't be locked
• Augustin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Augustin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katrina (10/5): Lovely hostel with amazing staff! - Staff were amazing and breakfast was included in the price! Plenty of spacious bathrooms with hot water 24/7. Kitchen was well equipped too!
• Sánchez (8/5): Very good -
• Wing (7/5): Good - There was a breakfast provided, the decoration of the breakfast room was nice. There was a nice patio. I had some trouble understanding how the stated payment of US16.20 became Argentina pesos20,000. They used the highest exchange rate of the vendor (when in actuality they are buying because they are receiving payment) at ARP1224 when the daily rate was ARP1066.34 (screenshot with date). While there may be variations to ARP1066.34, it would not go as high as ARP1244. This created a feeling of frustration and it was unpleasant to feel tricked somehow. I think Booking com should know what some of their hosts are doing. Often in the South American scene, a 'tax' is added, even though it was written 'Total payment'. In addition, there were no socket outlets for recharging by the bed. The room was totally messy as more than half the occupants were their volunteer helpers. A cat came into the room and jumped onto my bed, startling me in the middle of the night.
• Cem (7/5): Good -
• Maria (9/5): Superb -
• Traveller (1/5): SCAM or not - They list the price in US dollars, but they don't accept US dollars. Only pesos. Then, it can be showed in Argentina pesos. They list the price in US dollars, but they don't accept US dollars. They don't even accept cards. They only accept Argentine pesos, and the exchange rate is the unofficial rate(BLUE RATE). It also applies the dollar selling rate.(highest rate) I stayed many other accommodation in Argentina, but this is first time paying by unofficial rate.
• Milena (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, nice garden with chairs to chill out
• Milena (9/5): Superb - Quiet hostel where people respect the night quiet hours so others travelers can sleep well and sleep (which is important for me). I loved the garden with sits outside to chillout. Very friendly staff. Clean bathrooms and kitchen. Breakfast consists of fresh bread, butter, jam, dulce de leche, coffee/tea. There have very lovely and cuddling cat Internet could be faster
• Josephine (9/5): Superb -
• Cristina (7/5): Good -
• Mette (7/5): Nice staff and breakfast, but private room overpriced for what it is - Friendly staff, good little breakfast and a nice 6x6m garden to sit and relax in. (Too bad they had not put up a no smoking sign). Bed was comfortable. I had booked a room with private toilet. There was.no such thing on the property. I was given a key to one of the shared toilets in the courtyard, which had been used by others all day and was dirty. So at night in pouring down rain i had to go out and through the open courtyard to go to the toilet. The wifi did not work. The Price on booking was in dollars but to be paid in pesos - that is fine; however they used an Exchange rate that was 10 % higher that what you could Exchange the dollars for in town. So in reality i ended up paying 10% more than the booking price. I would say that compared to the other places I have stayed in Argentina/Chile the Price of the private room should have been only around 30 usd.
• Zahra (5/5): Passable -
• Justine (9/5): Superb -
• Luis (9/5): Superb - All great, staff, location, cleaness. Simple but tasty 3 different types of bread breakfast There're several street dogs and cats that sleep inside the house, sometimes on the beds. I had to wash the pillow case once
• Renana (8/5): Very good - Very pretty, nice vibe A cat entered into our room in the middle of the night and slept in our bed. There was no one to help us. We didn't sleep well.
• Eloise (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rokas (10/5): Exceptional -
• רועי (8/5): Very good - The team was truly wonderful, very cheery and happy to help, the breakfast was nice and well put and overall great value for the price
• Liz (8/5): A peaceful little hostel 10 mins walk from central Humahuaca - Quiet location, nice garden, comfortable bed and friendly staff. The room was very hot at night even with the window open, there’s no A/C, it was manageable but perhaps in the height of summer they could provide a fan.
