Guest Reviews

• Christophe (10/5): - Tout était parfait, merci à notre hôte, qui nous a accueilli merveilleusement bien, très bon petit déjeuner dont une confiture délicieuse faite maison et les oeufs des poules de notre hôte. On s'est senti tout de suite comme à la maison 🏠.
• Christophe (10/5): - Tout était parfait 👍😀. Merci à notre hôte pour son accueil et ses petites attentions. On était comme à la maison avec un super petit déjeuner.
• Christophe (10/5): - Tout était parfait !
• Sebastián (9/5): Muy acogedora - Tati es muy atenta y nos dio muchas buenas recomendaciones. Además nos recibió con un dulce casero y huevos de sus propias gallinas. La calefacción del lugar es extraordinaria. La ducha tiene una muy buena temperatura y el exterior es muy lindo también. No tiene microondas.
• Sara (10/5): -
• Lisell (10/5): Lugar muy acogedor con anfitriones excepcionales - Notable la amabilidad y hospitalidad de los anfitriones y el alojamiento es bien personalizado y acogedor
• Fabienne (10/5): - Everything 😊 Attention to details, atmosphere, fresh eggs and fruit in the fridge, the friendly host
• Daeyoung (9/5): - 아늑하고, 정겨운 공간, 사막의 오아시스 같은 곳. 문 손잡이 수리, 문 경첩 수리가 필요합니다.
• Rummenigge Ruffo (10/5): - O atendimento da Maria é diferenciado. Fomos muito bem recebidos. O jardim da casa é lindo. A hospedagem é super confortável. O local é um pouco afastado do centro, mas estando de carro não há nenhum problema.
• Katherine (9/5): Wonderful experience - Everything was wonderful about the apartment: the decor, the size, the comfort, and especially the owner. The included breakfast was the biggest surprise, local eggs and homegrown fresh fruit. I learned too late that I could have reserved dinner with the owners a day in advance, which I will definitely arrange the next time. Their property is an oasis of greenery and flowers. This location is not easy walking distance to the center of El Calafate, so a car would be recommended, although the owner was very helpful ordering a cab for me and it wasn't expensive. I didn't stay long enough.
• Natii (10/5): Nos hicieron sentir como en casa -
• Germán (10/5): Patagonia mágica - La hospitalidad de la cabaña que agradece luego de un largo viaje desde Australia. Las chicas siempre se mostraron amables en su recepción y atentas a cualquier solicitud. Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía en Kiritina’s house ! El equipamiento de la cocina podría ser mejor.
• Lidia Hisako (10/5): Estadia muito agradável - O jardim é muito bonito, me senti em casa. Os anfitriões são muito gentis e atenciosos. Adorei porque é o meu estilo, despojado.
• rmn (10/5): Quaint, cosy and so welcoming! - An amazing warm, welcoming and relaxing sanctuary in El Calafate. Wish it was closer to home, because I would definitely stay often!
• Sandrine (10/5): - Maria , la propriétaire, le confort, les équipements et le jardin.
• Gilbert (9/5): A comfortable and personal experience, a true home away from home. - Really appreciated all the personal attention, the small gestures in breakfast amenities and fresh fruits plus the comfortable setting and lay out of the place. The location is in walking distance of the city centre and close to a large supermarket. Only thing which I can think off that needs improvement would be the bathroom. The shower is difficult to operate to get the right temperature and there's a bath but no plug so wasn't able to use it but did not ask about it otherwise I'm sure some arrangement would have been made.
• Ana (10/5): -
• Zyro (10/5): Un lugar cálido en la tierra de los Glaciares! - Desde el recibimiento, la atención y los mimos de María, hasta la comodidad y amor que se siente en cada espacio de la casa! Es hermoso y sumamente cómodo para toda la familia, el jardin y los colores son inolvidables!
• Pierrick (10/5): - L'hôte, Maria est très accueillante et chaleureuse. Sa guesthouse découle d'un joli projet avec son conjoint. On s'y sent comme à la maison. Maria est disponible au besoin et de bons conseils. Le lieu est très joli, entouré d'un jardin bien entretenu. Nous avons libre accès au lave-linge ce qui est très appréciable, seul le produit est payant. Excellent rapport qualité-prix, on recommande chaudement Kiritina's house !!! Dommage que le lieu soit un peu loin du centre (25 minutes à pieds), idéalement il faut avoir une voiture. La douche est un peu capricieuse pour avoir de l'eau chaude mais avec un peu de pratique on arrive à la faire fonctionner.
• Hannes_Stc (10/5): - Unsere Gastgeberin María hat uns einen ganz tollen Aufenthalt in El Calafate beschert. Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet, bei Ankunft erhielten wir ein Frühstück. Alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt mit rustikalem Charme. María war immer angenehm präsent, wenn wir etwas brauchten, versorgte unsmit vielen wertvollen Insidertipps und half bei der Kommunikation mit lokalen Dienstleistern. Am letzten Abend luden sie und ihr Mann uns und zwei weitere Gäste zu einem gemeinsamen Abendessen mit selbstgemachter Pizza ein. Vielen lieben Dank Maria und weiterhin alles Gute! 🙏 ,

• Maria Luz (10/5): - Nuestro hospedaje en Kiritina's ha sido increíble. Hermosa casa, equipada con todo lo necesario, con agua caliente y calefacción excelentes. Tiene además un lindo jardín con plantas, flores y hamacas. María ha estado atenta en todo momento para que no nos falte nada y nos ha llevado desayunos muy especiales con alimentos de su huerta y sus gallinas. Gracias por tu presencia y calidez, María! ❤️
• Alejandro (10/5): - Apartamento acogedor decorado con gusto y con todo lo necesario para disfrutar de la estancia. Los utensilios de la cocina son bastante nuevos, cosa que es de agradecer enormemente. Puede usarse la lavadora de la casa por un precio mejor que módico. Tiene cerca varias tiendas y take away, además de un supermercado grande. Y María, la dueña, es un sol de mujer que se desvive para que tu estancia sea lo más agradable posible. Le pongo un 10 porque no puede ponerse más. Está algo alejado del centro y en la parte alta del pueblo, por lo que llegar hasta él andando puede hacerse pesado. Aunque a nosotros no nos hizo falta, el apartamento carece de televisión.
• Ernesto (10/5): -
• Ramey (9/5): - The Kiritina Home Stay is great. We stayed for 3 nights in the small cabin and had a lovely time. It is very clean and cozy, with cute art and decorations throughout the house. The garden and hammock are delightful. Maria and her husband also have a dog, some chickens and a couple of cats - one of whom came to visit us on several occasions. He is very snuggly! Everything was great. No complaints.
• Jean Francois (10/5): Un coup de cœur - Un oasis de calme et de beauté, petite serre avec herbes aromatiques , arbres fruitiers ,poulailler, jardin fleuri…petite serre. Maria est très très efficace pour nous conseiller et aider à tous les aspects de notre séjour. Un coup de coeur
• Elder Monteiro (9/5): Ótima Vibe! - Da receptividade.
• Dany (10/5): Best host ever! - María was the nicest person ever!! That's one of the best things that trips can offer: knowing good and great people! The house was really warm, a big plus in this region of Argentina. The water too. The house has everything you need and its really well equipped. Muchas gracias por todo María!!
• Mikeh2017 (8/5): Very good - Good cooking facilities. Good wifi. Bed was uncomfortable. The location is a bit out of the way.
• Paola (10/5): Lovely and restorative - Muy buena onda Gas heater
• Prasan (9/5): Lived it, very comfortable . - It's a near , rustic cottage set in a lovely garden .Maria us an excellent hostess. Gave us plenty of (great) suggestions about the town and activities . Wish the dog was more friendly :)
• Timothy (10/5): Home sweet home with Maria! - Many say Maria is great. I disagree. She is extraordinary! Not just a host—a mother away from home. So kind and cosiderate. The garden is gorgeous and so peaceful. The little apartments are so tastefully appointed and the little touches are sublime. That we could not stay longer and it was booked out on our return
• Choy (9/5): A pleasant wonderful place to stay. - She is prompt in responding and tries to resolve my problems. She is a good host who would take the extra mile to help. None, all good.
• Jarrah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wolfgang (10/5): perfect stay in El Calafate - Maria was over the limit a very big help in organizing everything for my trip. The house is very cozy and has a beautiful garden!
• Amedeo (10/5): Amazing! - It was all fantastic and the hosts are so welcoming! I recommend this place to all of those travellers who want to feel home :-)
• Aaron (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely place; friendly helpful owners; speak superb English if required
• Pit (9/5): Superb - Lovely place and fun to stay at. Maria, the host, is super nice and helps with organizing stuff and recommendations. Would definitely stay again.
• Irene (9/5): Superb -
• Manolo (9/5): Really nice and clean. You need a car to be there. - Very nice, clean apartment. Great owner. You really need a car. Farvfrom the centre
• Rob (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bogdan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yu-han (2/5): If I could do it all over again, I would definitely choose another hostel - The host changed some money with me so that I can pay her for taxi and buy some food. To appreciate, i raised my rating from 1 to 2 Wrong facilities information - not a private bathroom but a shared one. The toilet lid is not in good condition that you need to hold it when you are using the toilet Room with limited privacy - the curtain is almost transparent, and the window is facing the garden. Also, it is hard to fall asleep if you need to rest in a no-light environment Delayed response - every time when I seek for emergency help including late show up of the pick-up shuttle or a not-functioning-properly-hairdryer, I get response after the issues are solved. So please take lead time into consideration and perhaps seek for other solutions when you are in need Environment with fierce dogs and insects- yes the garden is beautiful, which also invites centipedes to the toilet and spiders to your room. Also, there are many dogs living in this area. I was surrounded by two big barking dogs (one of them is owned by the host and tried to bite me) when I walked back Very difficult to get help from the host - if you are a foreigner who needs an active SIM card or guide to exchange money, you may just get response such as “you have bad luck” or “you have to do it by yourself”. Heard other hostels help their guests to activate their SIM card. Lucky them Very far away from city center - >30 minutes uphill walking back and 25 minutes downhill walking to the city. Barely can get a taxi if you have a bad luck and can’t activate your sim card I was impressed with a lot of good reviews from previous guests so that I booked this place. Disappointedly, those beautiful things didn’t happen to me.
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic facilities. More than helpful hostess. A bit out of the way.
• Frédérique (10/5): A cosy house in Patagonia that makes love people from Patagonia. - It is a guest house which is rare in Argentina and corresponds much more to my way of travelling because it allows me to meet the locals people. The owners are absolutely charming and very generous with their time but also with small gifts (cake, asado etc.) and invitation. Marias is so available for informations. The garden is enchanting and the house very nicely decorated. The city center is only a 25-minute walk away and excursions are easy to organize. A simple walk in the lagoon (30 minutes walk from Maria's house) will allow you to discover many birds and to see the snowy peaks from Los Glacier national park. This establishment and its host, Maria, are in the TOP 10 of my trips, I thus decided to extend my stay. nothing
• Tina (10/5): Exceptional - I've stayed in a few places during my travels and this has to be one of the best for a number of reasons A little far away from town and up a big hill bit still a walkable distance
