Guest Reviews
- Victoria (10/5): -
- Loup (10/5): - Les hôtes sont aux petits soins, donnent plein de conseils sur les activités et vous font sentir comme à la maison. La literie était également très bonne ! Excellent séjour
- Sina (9/5): A wonderful stay in nature in town centre with lovely people - The garden with its hammocks in between trees, wine and green parrots and a really friendly enormous orange cat is the best. A wonderful place to relax. The other aspect I really liked about the hostel were the people that work there. Eduardo, Richard and Sandra make this place special. I’ve never before stayed in a hostel where someone invited you to a dinner or gave you a lift to the bus stop for free because he decided your bag is too heavy. Sandra is offering tours. She is new in the business but seems to already know everyone around Vicuña. What’s special about her tours is that she looks for places where tourists can get to know local shops and businesses and get in touch with the locals who explain about their work (e.g. a ceramic place or a special restaurant that we visited). I stayed for 4 nights and if I had had the time I would have stayed for longer (in the hammock). What I also liked was that it was a quiet place and that there were not a lot of people staying there. We were 3 girls in a six bed dormitory. The luxury of travelling in low season and because they use all of their dormitories even if there are only six people staying at the same time instead of stuffing everyone in the same dorm until it’s full. The beds/mattresses are really comfortable but even 4 layers of blankets were cold for me as they never stay in place. What would I give for a real duvet with a duvet cover (that’s sth you hardly find at any place in Chile). I didn’t like the smell of the washing powder or perfume they use on the bedsheets but that’s something really personal.
- Joshua (10/5): Just book it - The people here really make this place special from the moment you arrive. You will have help with everything you need and the best local recommendations for things to do. Sandra offers local tours and she is very knowledgeable about the history of the region and knows some hidden gems to make for an awesome day around Vicuña. I highly recommend taking a day for her tour. If you are lucky then you might get to try some of Richard’s cooking in the evening.
The property is super spacious and nice. Lots of room in the dorms and the lockers are big. Nice big kitchen where you can cook and the bathroom and shower facilities are clean and very good. Once you get here, you will probably extend your stay. This place is awesome. Thank you for everything. Todo bien
- VERA (9/5): - L'emplacement à la fois central et au calme. Une grande cuisine et des espaces extérieurs à partager. L'accueil de toute l'équipe au top, les infos sur les excursions et l'aide apportée dans l'organisation du séjour.
- Gregory (9/5): -
- Maarten (7/5): Okay hostel - The hostel has okay showers and toilets.
The kitchen is okay
The location off the hostel was nice only 8 minutes walking from the bus terminal. I have stayed at better hostel for the same price I paid for this hotel
- Julie (10/5): - Un accueil très chaleureux, Richard est super gentil, accueillant et arrangeant. L'hostel est dans une belle maison super propre et confortable le jardin est magnifique et spacieux. L'équipe fait tout pour qu'on se sente bien et que l'on profite de la vallée. Une de mes meilleures expériences en hostel.
- Camila andrea (10/5): El lugar perfecto para conectar contigo mismo - Edgardo fue muy amable, me dejó hacer ingreso de check in anticipado y en todo momento estuvo pendiente de mi comodidad. Todos muy agradables, el alojamiento en general inspiraba una linda convivencia. Los baños muy limpios, con separación la ducha para dejar las cosas. Había té y café a libre disposición, las camas cómodas y hamacas para ver el cielo y disfrutar del viento en la tarde. Volvería sin dudas. Nada, todo perfecto.
- Carolin (10/5): Absolut top! - Sehr ruhig, super Lage, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Sehr schöner Innenhof und Garten, Möglichkeit Wäsche zu waschen, Gemeinschaftsküche…Für uns das beste Hostel in dem wir bisher auf unserer Motorrad Reise waren. Die Dusche sind ein echter Traum: richtige Türen (nicht nur Vorhänge), geräumig, Ablagen, Haken, viel Wasser, super einstellbar. (Im übrigen auch das erst barrierefreie Hostel das wir bisher gesehen haben). Man hat sich hier wirklich viel Gedanken und Mühe gegeben und alles ist sehr durchdacht. Hier kommt man zur Ruhe, hat eine zentrale Lage im Ort.. auch die anderen Gäste waren angenehm. Alles war sehr sauber und hochwertig gemacht. Und das Bett (wie hatten ein Doppelzimmer für uns) war soooo bequem, wir haben so gut geschlafen wie noch die in einem Hostel. Ein wirklich tolles, rund um perfektes Hostel. Wir kommen gerne wieder! (Ich hatte zuvor die ganzen guten Bewertungen gelesen und dachte „ach, das kann doch garnicht soooo gut sein“, aber war es dann tatsächlich!)
- PAOLA (10/5): Acogedor y hogareño. - Es realmente acogedor 🙌 limpio, todo ordenado. Es sin querer un ambiente muy hogareño.
Espero volver en otra oportunidad. 🙌
- Anja (10/5): Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. - die Herzlichkeit des Personals hat den Aufenthalt einzigartig gemacht!
und was im Vergleich zu anderen Hostels/Hotels hervorzuheben ist, sind die Duschen = top Zustand
- elodie (10/5): Top ! - Tout. Les lits sont tops (il y a des volets dans la chambre), c'est propre, bien localisé, un petit jardin très agréable et le personnel est adorable et super serviable. On se sent chez nous !
- Espiñeira (10/5): Paseo Corto Vicuña - Los baños estaban muy limpios y las duchas contaban con un espacio para poder cambiarme y secarme dentro del mismo cubículo. Maravillosas instalaciones en general. Lo último pero no menos importante, el dueño del hostal nos ayudó con todo. Estuvimos dos días para poder explorar un poco pero ya sabemos que volveremos acá. Nada malo con este hostal.
- nathan (10/5): -
- david (10/5): Propre et confortable - Franchement y’a rien à dire …..
L’emplacement est parfait dans le centre, les communs sont très bien entretenus, les chambres confortables et le personnel agréable et attentif.
On serait bien resté plus longtemps Tout était parfait
- Gaelle (10/5): Tout simplement le meilleur hostel dans lequel j’ai séjourné au Chili - Tout : l’emplacement, le calme et la propreté, mais surtout la gentillesse du personnel. Espace Lavanderia disponible.
Lit confortable
J’ai pu vraiment me reposer, tout en passant un très bon moment avec les autres voyageurs. Richard met tout en œuvre pour qu’on se sente « comme à la maison » et ça fonctionne ! Également de bon conseils pour visiter la région.
- drolli1 (10/5): - Alles, besonders die Sauberkeit, die wenigen Gäste, die extrem netten Menschen, der Garten mit Hängematten, das einfach Platz zum Leben ist...danke Nichts
- Ingrid (10/5): - J'ai tout aimé. La quiétude des lieux et de ma ville. La gentillesse de Richard, les conseils. La grande cuisine et les chambres très confortables. RAS
- Maritza Giovanna (9/5): Buen lugar para descansar - Es un gran lugar para retirarse a decansar, es tranquilo, amplico cómodo.
- kevin (10/5): -
- Monique (10/5): Highly recommended - Every thing was perfect. The room, kitchen, stargazing garden, fresh grapes. But most of all the staff. I felt so welcome. And they helped with every question and tips of area Leaving

- Manuel Antonio (10/5): -
- Celia (10/5): -
- Beth (10/5): Nice stay at Scorpius Hostel. - The place is very peaceful. The bed was comfortable. The showers had plenty of hot water. The outdoor garden area was very nice for lounging around. When there isn't a full moon you can lay out in the hammocks and look at the stars at night. The location was within easy access of public transportation and trails for hiking around the area. Richard and Ricardo were very nice and always willing to provide helpful information. They went out of their way to make it a comfortable visit. I definitely plan to come back. There was nothing to dislike.
- Emanuel (10/5): -
- Huguet (10/5): - Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Scorpius.
La propreté était impeccable, l'organisation plus que fonctionnelle, et l'auberge est très agréable (hamac, cuisine équipée, chambre à effectifs réduits...).
Dès notre arrivée, les hôtes nous ont fait nous sentir comme à la maison.Cette gentillesse et cette bienveillance nous ont accompagnées tout au long du séjour grâce aux bons soins de Richard et Edgardo.
C'est sans doute le meilleur hostel que nous n'ayons jamais fait. Merci pour votre attention, votre générosité et votre temps.
Au plaisir de recroiser votre chemin ! Rien, tout était parfait.
- Lykke (10/5): Truly amazing hostel experience - An amazing hostel. Very clean, huge dorm and bed, modern bathrooms, very good and spacious kitchen. Plus beautiful garden w hammocks.
The best feature is the staff. Really helpful and taking care of every need.
Of course I decided to stay longer in this beautiful place
- Sara (10/5): - Un hostal súper bien equipado, espacioso, limpio y bonito. Destaco la atención de Richard hacia el turista, muy humana y siempre tratando de encontrar opciones de actividades que hacer a precios justos y asegurándose de que todo el mundo se sepa mover por la zona (tanto de habla hispana como inglesa, etc.), mostrando su gran conocimiento sobre el Valle del Elqui. Gracias por todo!
- dorado (10/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): - Si le vent vous porte à Vicuña, je vous recommande le Scorpius hostel. C'est une auberge calme et agréable avec un jardin d'où vous pourrez admirer les étoiles confortablement installés dans un des hamacs mis à votre disposition. Les chambres et les sanitaires sont très propres. Et la cuisine est grande et bien fournie (contrairement à la plupart des auberges où je suis allée). Cerise sur le gâteau : le staff est vraiment aux petits soins (surtout Richard qui aura les réponses à toutes vos questions et même des suggestions pour votre programme).
- Michel (9/5): Great place to stay in Vicuña - The staff were super helpful, especially Richard who was extremely generous with his time and had all sorts of great information about the town, around town, suggestions of where to eat, drink, etc. Our room was large and had a large, comfy bed + another single bed. Shared bathroom but they were very clean. Large, clean, well equipped kitchen for self-catering. They let you leave your luggage there if you arrive early or your bus is later than the checkout time. There's a friendly cat who hangouts there. The hostel itself is large, old, pretty, spacious.

La atención es genial, te dan los mejores consejos sobre la ciudad y otros pueblos del valle (transportes, visitas, compras, observatorios, pisqueras, etc.) y son muy cercanos en el trato. Además la limpieza en las instalaciones es constante. La habitación es bastante cómoda.
- Daniela (10/5): Excelente espacio para explorar Elqui - La atención excepcional de los administradores de la hostal, estuvieron atentos a todos nuestros requerimientos y consultas. No tuvimos ningún inconveniente a considerar.

The kitchen was clean and well equipped, guests share the space easily and courteously. . Having to leave.

- Lena (10/5): Best place to stay for several days 🙂 - Very comfortable accommodation, super clean rooms, bathrooms, showers, main areas, and kitchen, great kitchen equipment, central, and easy to get to from the bus station. The host is very nice and gives valuable advices for things to do. He also creates connection between travelers in case you’re travelling by yourself and knows tour providers/bike rental places in town to give recommendations.
I really enjoyed my stay here and it felt like being at home even though there were not many people around as I was visiting in shoulder season.
Moreover, the garden is very comfortable for relaxing days, watching stars at night, and chilling in the hammocks. Next time, I‘ll stay longer - the Elqui Valley is a very beautiful place to visit as a solo traveller. I liked everything.
- Jaime (9/5): - Muy tranquilo, buena atención, muy limpio, buenas intalaciones y muy atentos de sus hospedados
- Sona (10/5): The best hostel in Vicuña, with the best host - This place was unbelievable, such clean hostel, with many toilets and showers, cozy rooms with comfy beds, beautiful garden with lots of seating and hammocks from where you can watch the stars. The kitchen is beyond well-equipped, with even more seating. Nice common area. Edgardo is the best host you can ask for, speaks great English, responds to all your questions, he even arranged for me to safely store my luggage in la Serena for couple of hours. This is one of those places you don’t want to leave.

- Nigel (10/5): A star in Vicuña - Lovely hostel where great care has been taken. First time we have seen wheelchair acess to toilets and showers. Recycling facility in well stocked kitchen (including ovens, hobs, kettles, toasters, fridge/freezers etc.) Plenty of shared indoor and outdoor space. Although only shared toilets and showers they were very plentiful and spotlessly clean. Lovely, friendly owner who has lots of local knowledge and advice. No hooks in bedroom for hanging coats or towels, but owner said he would take this into consideration.

Edgardo welcomes everyone as if they were at home, vas very exciting histories to tell and takes care of everything so that everybody is happy. It’s very quiet and tidy here, the Perfect Place to stop to take a deep breath and find peace and cocentration. It is very cosy (especially the sheets of the beds are super soft). For me it was a good spot to continue working in my thesis. All perfect !
- Roxane (10/5): Fantastic - This was a little piece of heaven; clean, calm, relaxing, well-equipped kitchen and convenient’y located. The owner, Edgardo, is literally an angel.

No keys given to entrance door, but I guess that’s good for security. Very hot in dorms, as day temps 30oC, but fan available.
