- Lucini Altamirano (10/5): - El lugar es hermoso, tiene una vista increíble, está cerca de la terminal. El personal muy amable
- Jen (8/5): This is a great hotel in a good location and a fabulous view of the lake. Really enjoyed our stay here. Good value for m -
- Sergio (9/5): Cómodo y tranquilo, buenas vistas. - Acogedor, rústico, la ubicación es perfecta para tener vistas panorámicas, el salón es un lugar perfecto para disfrutar del desayuno al amanecer o estar tranquilo con la luz naranja del atardecer. Habitación cómoda y limpia, todo construido en madera y muy rústico. Relación calidad-precio muy buena y el personal amable y cercano, nos ayudaron, resolvieron dudas, consejos, recomendaciones, el trato personal un 10. @SerxiMendez La ubicación para ir andando a la avenida principal necesita un paseo de 15/20 min, cuesta arriba al regresar, sin embargo es perfecta para tener vistas y descansar sin ruidos.
- JonathanDS (7/5): -
- Antonino Fernandes (8/5): - Das vistas Pequeno almoço simples
- Massimiliano (8/5): -
- OLGA (9/5): - Вкусный завтрак, аутентичное оформление, красивый вид из лобби, приветливый персонал Ну разве что на утро встретила в номере какого-то «жителя», смахивающего на таракана 😁
- Jose Lito Nunez (10/5): - Tout Rien
- Lukáš (9/5): -
- Massad (6/5): Necessita de um pouco mais de capricho e cuidado com os hóspedes! - O que mais gostei foi da vista! Pois a pousada fica em uma colina! Primeiramente, não gostei do café da manhã, achei extremamente fraco, apenas pão com manteiga e ovos mexidos, na parte de doce, havia bolos e doce de leite! Poderia ter no mínimo queijo e presunto! No quarto havia teias de aranha no banheiro, eu mesmo tive que trocar a roupa de cama, porque não tem mais funcionário depois das 18 horas, a pousada fica vazia! Poderia ter um funcionário até mais tarde, e um capricho maior, no cuidado com o hospede, é como se você estivesse por conta própria! A pousada fica em uma colina, longe do centro, as ruas são bem escuras para ir a pé, a noite! Impossível dormir até um pouco mais tarde, porque se escuta tudo o que os hospedes falam, nos quartos ao lado, como se estivessem literalmente dentro do quarto!
- Inscape Photo Tours (1/5): Smell of sump - I don't care about the bugs in room.. it's not a 4-star hotel. But I am not fine with the extreme smell of excrements which was coming probably from the sump from 3am to my room even though I had my window closed all the time. It was really unbearable, and I couldn't sleep or even be in the room. A girl from the reception saw how terrible the situation was, however, the manager didn't even say sorry. Never again this accommodation.
- Sophie (9/5): -
- Ekaterina (8/5): -
- julio (10/5): - Muy buena atención, lugar ideal para descansar y conectar con la naturaleza Sin objeción
- Deseado (8/5): Destaca en personal - El trato del personal cuando está es muy bueno, destacan Marilin y Tobías. No hay transporte en alrededores, hay que caminar bastante para todo, no estaba siempre el personal, requiere mejoras en las áreas comunes.
- Elena (9/5): - Overall a good stay! I wouldn't recommend it to solo travelers. It is not far from the city centre, but the area does not feel comfortable after sunset.
- Jose Luis (7/5): -
- Álvarez (10/5): -
- Elisa (10/5): -
- Dawn (7/5): Worth a visit just for the customer service 😊 - The staff - Toby was so so so helpful and is a credit to the establishment 👍
Good nights sleep followed by a basic breakfast overlooking a beautiful view 🥰
- Jun (10/5): -
- Mariannix (7/5): - Las vistas y que estaba todo super limpio Que no nos hicieron las camas la 2da noche a pesar de entregar la llave, la primera noche si las hicieron porque se los pedimos, pero sgte no. Me dijeron que tendriamos que haberlo pedido, pero es algo básico! Ah y las toallas pueden renovarlas.

- Ronan (9/5): - Hôtel très agréable, tout comme le personnel qui est très serviable et répond à toutes nos interrogations en nous aidant!
- Estelle (6/5): - Auberge très agréable. Le petit déjeuner est plus que succinct.
- Bruno (7/5): Great view but only if you have a car - The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and that includes multiple people. The breakfast was decent. The view from the common area is truly one of the best features of the place, and the sunrise and sunsets are amazing. There was a nice selection of toiletries, kind of surprising given the vibe of the place. The place is not friendly at all if you are on foot, because you need to go around town to reach it, and through speed dirt roads too. There were quite a lot of crawlers in my room, especially spiders. They didn’t accept my request to change the booking dates.
- A. Margitudis (10/5): Unterkunft mit Herz - Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gab jeden morgen ein tolles Frühstück und der Ausblick vom Frühstücksraum auf den See war super schön. Die Atmosphäre war herzlich und familiär.
Sehr zu empfehlen!
- Juan Manuel Rios (10/5): Calidez y tranquilidad. - Una estadía increíble en Bla! Lodge en El Calafate. Desde el primer momento se percibe un ambiente cálido, tranquilo y muy especial, ideal para desconectar y disfrutar de la Patagonia.
Tiene vistas privilegiadas al paisaje patagónico que realmente marcan la diferencia.
Las habitaciones son cómodas, bien equipadas y perfectas para descansar después de un día de excursiones. Además, el ambiente general invita a relajarse, ya sea en los espacios comunes o disfrutando de la tranquilidad del lugar.
Un punto fuerte es la atención del personal: siempre amables, predispuestos y atentos a cada necesidad, brindando recomendaciones útiles para recorrer la zona.
Está ubicado a solo un par de minutos del centro.
Sin dudas, una excelente opción en El Calafate para quienes valoran la tranquilidad, el paisaje y una atención cercana. ¡Totalmente recomendable y para volver! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No encontré nada negativo.
- Alper (10/5): -
- Octavio (8/5): - El excelente trato de quienes allí trabajan!! ❤️❤️
- Anna (8/5): -
- RICARDO DANIEL (9/5): Confortable y tranquilo, por el tiempo de alojamiento, confortable, y tranquilo. - Espectacular, me gustó mas que anteriores alojamiento.
No entiendo los de "centro". Nada para criticar.
- Marcos Criado Undabarrena (9/5): Buen sitio para pasar unos dias - La amabilidad de mos empleados
- Francisco (9/5): - Agradable
- Brenda (7/5): - A vista desde el lobby es Bonita Esta muy lejos del centro, las calles cercanas no están iluminadas, la llave de la puerta se atora bastante. Se ve muy viejo el lugar y las cortinas son super pequeñas y delgadas.
- Mariela (10/5): - Todo. Al reservar solo había habitación con camas individuales, solicite cama matrimonial y vista a montañas. Al llegar tenia todo lo solicitado.La habitación, vista, comodidades, desayuno.
La atención, hospitalidad de todos excelente.
Muy recomendable, volveremos.... La entrada para el equipaje con ruedas no es muy accesible por el piso desparejo.
- Aurélie (5/5): - Second stay and was less positive than the first one as I got a room next to the dining room so very noisy in the late evening. I had to ask several times silence after 22pm to guests and to reception via WhatsApp because they were not there anymore. But no action were taken
As first time, breakfast is not amazing but like everywhere in Patagonia.
Finally the hot water was not that hot …
- Bieito (8/5): - La amabilidad del personal. Excelente. Conviene revisar el funcionamiento del edificio. Filtraciones de agua, ventanas mal asentadas,...
- Adrian (4/5): -
- Clémence (6/5): -
- Viacheslav (9/5): - Nice hotel. Breakfast was good. There was a good variety of food to choose from. Nice view from the hotel balcony. A bit far away from the center, but it was okay to me. Lots of dogs in the area, but everything was okay.
- Lena (10/5): -
- Romana (8/5): Great view and nice staff. - The beautiful view to the city and partially to the lake and mountains. Staff were nice and gave good advices. Tours had no problem with pick up place, taxi to Omnibus station cost 4000ARS. You can borrow hairdryer at the reception. The noise and a bit cold. You can hear your neighbours (everything including dialoges or snorring) and the wind too, it is super strong here. There is a heating in the room, but if you are close to the window it gets really cold as the room is spacious. Missed veggie for breakfast and more salty options then eggs.
- ADAM (10/5): - Super miejsce, świetny personel!!!, czystość Hostel jest bardzo akustyczny:)
- Omar (10/5): -
- Sophia (10/5): -
- Barbara (2/5): - La atención del personal pésima...falta de empatía.
No guiaban y si lo hacían era de mala manera.
Esperábamos algo mejor....somos de chile
- Aurélie (8/5): Very nice - Very good bedsheet and confortable beds
Very pleasant staff Breakfast wasn’t great
Could be improved
- jacopo (10/5): -
- Silvio (4/5): - O atendimento na chegada foi satisfatório. Atendimento na reserva foi péssimo e confuso. A reserva oferecia check-in antecipado, as 12h, mas quando sisse que iriam chegar nesse horário, a pessoa que estava me atendendo disse que o check-in seria se após às 15h e se eu quisesse fazer o check-in às 12h eu teria que pagar. Foi muito desgastante explicar para a atendente. No fim, para evitar mais desgaste, cheguei às 15h.
- Kate (7/5): -
- Bartosz (10/5): Nice place to stay not far away from terminal and city center, very nice and helpful staff working there, really nice vi - Nice place to stay not far away from terminal and city center, very nice and helpful staff working there, really nice view from the lodge. Low pressure of water at the shower
- Vilde (9/5): -
- Bronwyn (6/5): -
- Giovanelli (3/5): Costa troppo per le condizioni della struttura, della camera e del bagno. - La vista e l’accoglienza del personale Camera mal messa, cuscini sporchi… bagno pessimo
- Jordan (10/5): -
- Lorenzo (8/5): - Staff very Helpful, Tobias the guy at the reception was very helpful to solve some issue and super available to give us turistic information and helping us to booking our transfer to the airport 😉
- Www.globetrotter (4/5): Posto da evitare - Dimensioni della camera Lo staff non aiuta a risolvere i problemi (esegue semplicemente delle ricerche su internet: meglio la AI allora ...), mentre è quasi stalkerizzante quando si tratta di chiedere la orario di arrivo (se faccio un trekking di 21 km non so in anticipo a che ora finisco!!!!)
Stanza piuttosto fatiscente.
Colazione piuttosto mediocre.
Il posto è lontano da tutto per chi è a piedi (ovviamente se avete un auto questo non è un problema)
Prezzo molto alto per la qualità della alloggio e dei servizi
- Helena (9/5): -
- MERFYN (8/5): Glorious and, we enjoyed the wood burning stove and interacting with the many ranch dogs ! - Location Availability of hot water could do with working on, but given the location its understandable and didn't detract from our stay.
- Alvaro Sebastian (10/5): - Nancy y Tobias fueron super amables y cordiales. Todo super bien con el hotel y las instalaciones. Gracias!!!!
- Nichole (7/5): - Comfortable, spacious with stunning views and helpful staff. A half hour walk from town, great if you have a car as there's parking, not so great of travelling solo and need to get a taxi back after dark
- Alexander (8/5): -
- Κατερινα (8/5): -
- Thibaud (7/5): - Ça ressemble un peu à chez ma grand mère et ça semble assez ancien mais dans l'ensemble c'était plutôt correct et suffisant pour une nuit
Le petit déjeuner est vraiment top et complet L'emplacement ... C'est vraiment dans une zone éloignée et difficile d'accès, oubliez l'idée d'y aller à pied depuis la station de bus
- Océane (10/5): - Incroyable ! Logement avec petit dej continental ce qui se fait de plus en plus rare pour cet gamme de prix. La vue était vraiment sympa au matin. Equipe au top, réactif par message et au petit soin malgré une arrivée tardive
- Carla Moncalvo (10/5): -
- Melissa Cortés (10/5): - La vista desde el Bla Lodge es magnífica; todo el hostel es precioso, las habitaciones son cómodas y limpias; y la atención de todas las personas que trabajan allí fue maravillosa
- James (8/5): Great for the value, would recommend as a basic no frills location with gorgeous views - Beautiful views. Helpful staff. Room had plenty of space Water was difficult and low pressure
- Ludmina (10/5): - La vista y la amabilidad del personal
- Mark (8/5): -
- Samyr (8/5): -
- Anna (7/5): -
- Erazo (10/5): Excelente relación calidad precio, vistas hermosas - Cómodo, acogedor, excelente atención del personal. Desayuno 8/10, son comprensible con tus gustos para comer. Todo muy bien
- Roland (8/5): -
- Cristian (8/5): -
- Ivana (5/5): No volvería, lamentablemente. - El staff del hotel hace que dé una puntuación aceptable para el hotel en si, tanto los dos chicos con los que tuve oportunidad de hablar en recepción y las chicas que preparan el desayuno super super atentos y amables, muy predispuestos. La vista del hall es muy linda, aunque la usé poco. Esto lo pongo acá para que no entre dentro de lo que no me gustó pero porque es simplemente estar atentos, es un hotel que está lejos del centro y tanto para ir y volver es medio engorroso. Hubo varias cosas:
1. La habitación tenía mucho olor a humedad cada vez que volvía, tenía que abrir si o si las ventanas
2. Las paredes no deben estar insonorizadas porque se escucha todo lo que hacen en las habitaciones contiguas
3. Encontré arañas, ciempies y otros insectos DENTRO de la habitación, para nada agradable.
4. Las almohadas y muebles están pasados de años, se debería remodelar esa parte.
- Catherine (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix. A recommander. - Bon accueil. Belle vue sur le lac et les montagnes. Petit déjeuner très correct. L'hôtel est un peu éloigné du centre, l'aller à pied et le retour en taxi.
- Stefano (9/5): -
- Carlos (6/5): Lindo y lejos - Es un alojamiento bonito, bien decorado en los lugares comunes. La atención del recepcionista fue de lo mejor. Y no mucho más. En primer lugar está muy lejos del centro. Difícil de hallarlo, la calle no tiene cartel y el GPS del auto no lo identifica correctamente. Tuve que pedir una lamparita para la mesa de noche porque no tenía. No hicieron la limpieza y el desayuno carece de algunas cosas básicas. Necesita más mantenimiento.
- Ayako (8/5): ナイスビューの快適なロッジ - エントランスが山のロッジ感が満載でとても素敵でした。デッキからの市内や湖の風景の眺めが最高でした。
部屋も屋根が高くて開放的な空間でした。
スタッフも皆さん親切で朝ごはんも美味しかったです。 ホテルそのものではないのですが、ホテルに徒歩でアクセスする際に必ず通る道に凶暴な犬(番犬のような感じでいつもいました)が何匹か居て激しく吠えられたので、その前を通るのが怖かったです。
- Sebastian (7/5): -
- Rébecca (10/5): - Le calme, le personnel très aimable, la vue. Très bon séjour.
- Marina Bortos - Ionescu (7/5): - The overall panorama from the lodge is outstanding and so nice indeed! The street where Bla Lodge is located was full of street dogs left loose and they were super dangerous, especially when you would return on foot at night.
Please be aware of this if you don't have a rental car or take a taxi back to your accommodation. I would have liked knowing that in advance!
- Estelle (10/5): -
- Eric (4/5): - Le personnel d'accueil et de salle.
La vue La chambre est un peu dans son jus. Moquette élimée, mobilier minimaliste. Prises électriques en nombre insuffisant
Poubelle non vidée sur 2 nuits, sachanr que le papier hygiénique doit y être jeté !
Propreté limite.
Emplacement : 30 minutes à pièds du centre ville.
