Guest Reviews

• Jazmin del Rosario (8/5): -
• Alberto (10/5): Un posto dove tornare - Il posto è molto bello e curato, sei in zona centrale ma senza alcun rumore, l’accoglienza è stata molto gentile. Un posto perfetto per stare a El Calafate. Nulla da segnalare
• Isaac (9/5): - Great location, clean it had everything you needed The communication was 10/10
• Claudia (10/5): Fantastico,raccomandato,splendido - Panorama , colori, posizione ottima e centrale,pulizia struttura e la proprietaria che era adorabile Niente
• Ilya (10/5): -
• FERNANDO (10/5): -
• Ramona Beatriz (9/5): La atencion de Patricia excelente -
• Xinyu (9/5): - The staff were very helpful. The location is close to the main street, with easy access to restaurants and shops. As it’s a wooden building, it tends to feel a bit cold during the night.
• MARC DE RIBAINS (10/5): -
• Junliang (9/5): -
• Anael (10/5): Increíble lugar!! - Wow este lugar es inmejorable. La atención es increíble. La ubicación está buenísima porque está en el centro y está cerca de todo, como restaurantes, tiendas y empresas de tours. Las habitaciones tienen calefacción, lo cual queda ideal por el clima del lugar.
• Haokun (10/5): -
• Nicolas (10/5): -
• Marlo (8/5): Beautiful grounds great value - Great value. Comfortable beds and good shower. Windows that open! Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful grounds with lots of trees. The sofa in the living room was so uncomfortable. It was almost useless. It was a sofa. Bed in the frame could be felt through the cushions. Additionally, the cushions and sofa seating were sloped, so it was hard to even stay on it.
• Serge (10/5): -
• Claudia (10/5): -
• Liliana (10/5): -
• Shione (10/5): - Very comfortable stay. Everything was perfect. Staff communication was excellent. Near to the city center. Bus station is a bit far, 10 mins by car. It will be tough to walk if you have a big suitcase. There is no uber so you should ask for it to the staff or keep the contact from the taxi driver when you use from airport. Nothing!
• Megan (10/5): - Patricia was extremely helpful! airport shuttle seamless. location can't be beat-- right off the main road but tucked back slightly to feel peaceful and calm. comfortable beds, easy check-in and cabins have everything you need
• Paolo Andrea (9/5): -
• John (10/5): Great quiet space in the heart of El Calafarte - Nice and peaceful in the heart of El Calafarte. Clean and well equipped Bungalow, great hosts with excellent communication. Nothing
• Hilal (10/5): Highly recommended - Right next to the city center but very silent and peaceful. Enough amenities, very cozy cabin inside of the greenery. Very polite and helpful staff.
• Hector (10/5): Excelente!!! - La atención, la ubicación, la cabaña es muy acogedora, esta en pleno centro . Tienen un problema con un par de pubs que los fines de semana ponen música a muy alto volumen pero me comunique con la chica de recepción y enseguida intentó gestionar la baja del volumen. Un problema que lamentablemente los excede, pero fueron muy atentos y presionaron para lograrlo.
• JAROSLAW (10/5): Fantastyczny pobyt podczas trekingów. Bezpieczne i piękne miejsce. - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Piękne domki z bardzo wygodnymi pokojami. Obsługa na najwyższym poziomie. To był dobry wybór na nocleg w El Calafate. Bardzo polecam!
• lou (10/5): -
• Jiyoung (10/5): 이번 여행에서 최고의 선택 - 저희 예산보다 숙소가격이 높은 편이라 많이 고민하다 예약했습니다. 그러나 이 숙소를 고른건 저희 여행에서 가장 멋진 선택이었습니다. 엘칼라파테 시내의 주요 맛집 등과 정말 가깝고, 바로 근처에 동네에서 가장 큰 마트가 있습니다. 숙소는 너무 아름답고(마치 숲속의 별장 같아요) 내부도 매우 좋습니다. 주방 식기류도 모두 잘 갖춰져있고 침구도 최고입니다. 화장실은 온수가 콸콸 잘나오고 매우 청결합니다. 전반적으로 너무 깨끗하고 아름답고 편안한 숙소였습니다. 수건은 매일 교체해주시고 침구정리 등 기본적인 청소를 해주십니다. 왓츠앱으로 응답은 빠르고 필요한 모든것을 처리해주셨습니다. 만약 다시 엘 칼라파테에 온다면 무조건 이 숙소에 묵을거에요. 하나 아쉬운게 있다면 세탁서비스가 없다는 점이었습니다. 근처 세탁방과 제휴해서 유료로 세탁서비스를 제공해주신다면 더 완벽한 숙소일 것 같아요.
• junko (10/5): -
• Vadym (10/5): - Everything was perfect
• Pablo (10/5): - Cabañas muy comodas Hacian limpieza a diario,, lo cual es un pluss Ubicacion excelente a pasos del centro Nada que decir.
• Perez (10/5): -
• Spzoo (10/5): - Домик деревянный, очень уютно, как из детства, все супер! рядом с домиком стоят скамеечки можно посидеть вечером полюбоваться звездами.
• Fernando (10/5): Acogedoras cabañas muy cerca de todo en El Calafate. - Las cabañas de madera son muy bonitas y acogedoras. Se encuentran en un amplio jardín bien cuidado, a pasos de la avenida principal en pleno centro de El Calafate. Cuentan con todo lo necesario, más un aseo diario. El personal es muy amable. Es un gran lugar para pasar unos días en la ciudad e ir a los tours. Muy cerca están los comercios de recuerdos, el supermercado y el interesante y bien nutrido museo del juguete. En general me pareció todo muy bien.
• Jorge (10/5): Bonita y amplia casa madera. - Bonitas casas de Madera en un bonito espacio..Amplias para dos personas para una estancia mas que confortable. Muy limpio (hacen limpieza a diario pese a no ser hotel). Bien ubicado en la esquina de la calle principal de Calafate..Recomendable. Nada. Todo muy bien..
• Alexandra (10/5): - El entorno de las instalaciones y la cabaña en sí. Todo perfecto! Todo me gusto! Hermosa, limpia, agradable y que hablar de la ubicacion... excelente!
• Leanne (9/5): A great location and easy to access restaurants etc. very comfortable - It was on a great location and the staff were very helpful Pillows could have been more comfortable
• Casper (7/5): Tæt på centrum, meget rent, alle faciliteter og service minded personale. - Beliggenhed, rent, plads og serviceminded personale Virker lidt gammeldags
• Isabella (8/5): -
• Daniella (9/5): Cabana aconchegante em ótima localização. - Casa aconchegante, super bem localizada, boas camas. No quintal, há pés de framboesa. Excelente para quem tem crianças! Se escuta o barulho da casa vizinha.
• Andrew (9/5): Very nice. - Very clean apartment in a great location, and the staff was wonderful.
• Noam (10/5): - Great location, very comfortable, quiet yet close to the center.
• ADRIANA (10/5): - Localização, charme, conforto
• Lee (10/5): -
• Laura (8/5): Lovely cabin in an ideal location - Having a self contained cabin was a welcome change from hotel stays. The cabin was clean and a good size. The kitchen was well equipped for making an easy meal or packed lunches. They are in an ideal location, only a few minutes from the main street and 15 minutes walk from the bus station. The sofa in the living area was very uncomfortable to sit on.
• Anneke (8/5): -
• Anabel (10/5): Wonderful - The location, cleaning and food condition! Highly recommended!!! Nothing! I like everything.
• Carl (8/5): Oasis in the heart of El Califatél - It's an oasis of calm nature just a half block off the main thoroughfare of El Calafaté. It's a lovely park setting with multiple nice benches outside each cabin. The 2 bedroom cabin that we stayed in had a nice living room (with a tv that didn't appear to get any channels) comfortable beds, windows that opened, coffee and a coffee maker, among other appliances. The staff was business-like, efficient and available. Breakfast would have been nice.
• Dean (10/5): Great property! - It was a charming setting. The apartment was perfect for our needs, Comfortable, clean, well-supplied. Friendly and welcoming. Great location. Nothing.
• Miguel (9/5): -
• Sire (5/5): -
• Deidre (10/5): -
• Lisabetta (7/5): -
• Michael (10/5): We would definitely recommend - One of the best places we’ve stay in during our 5 weeks in Argentina. Piero and the staff were super helpful and welcoming. Fast internet, clean rooms, comfortable space - amazing value. Loved the individual cabins. Nothing negative to comment on
• Madha (8/5): -
• Pierre (8/5): Bon logement dans le centre de la ville - Les abords des cabanes sont très bien tenus, le parking pratique, emplacement idéal en plein cœur d’El Calafate. Communication fluide avec les hôtes en amont de notre arrivée L’intérieur de la cabane est assez sombre, peu de lumière naturelle. Des oiseaux ont fait beaucoup de bruit au petit matin
• Joanne (5/5): Good location with fast service from the staffs but the facility is pretty old - Location Facility is old and almost everything need to be replaced
• Tania (9/5): Could not have been better - Clean and comfortable with a great shower. Warm and cozy cabins. Great housekeeping service. Location is great, quiet but close to the main street. Piero in the office was super helpful. Nothing
• Jianmin (9/5): -
• alison (8/5): - Great location, close to shops and restaurants , nice cute cabin, friendly staff No tv, just Netflix or YouTube, but the wifi was good so we could watch stuff on my iPad. Some written instructions on eg how to use the hot plate and safe would be useful so we didn’t have to keep bothering the staff. We were in a duplex and could hear the guy next door moving around. May be noisy if there’s a loud couple.
• georgi (10/5): -
• YIDI (7/5): 有一些瑕疵，但是位置很好很方便 - 地理位置很好，非常方便。服务不错，热水稳定不会忽冷忽热 房间有很大的味道，不知道是发霉还是打药，反正有味儿。房子隔音不好，晚上下雨打在顶棚很吵。最主要是房子墙板漏风，入住的几天风很大会顺着墙板吹进来正好在床头吹着脑袋，很不舒服。然后有一个屋子的暖气不热所以非常冷！
• Yves (9/5): Bonne situation dans le centre ville - Très bien situé dans le centre
• Alex (7/5): - Staff were excellent and responsive. They resolved issues quickly While the chalets are in a good position in town, they are close to a noisy bar. The staff did move us teh next night to another location where there were some issues with the hot water which they needed to resolve
• Sam (8/5): -
• Melinda (10/5): Exceptional - Great service, location and the cabin had everything we needed.
• Antonio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexander (9/5): We liked the place a lot. - The host was very kind to let us move in way before check in time and move out after checkout time not charging anything on top. The rooms were very clean (and its very convienient to have 2 rooms). Excellent WiFi. Good shower. Excellent location. Very friendly staff. The kitchen could be easely improved by providing better variety of kitchen pots and other utensils but still was decent.
• Luke (10/5): Best location - The staff was very accommodating with our schedule! The housekeepers did a great job tidying daily. The location is perfect for downtown afternoons or evenings! Would highly recommend!
• Jie (10/5): Very good - Good location, nice garden. Warm room. Comfortable bed. Hot water. Water cut on 17th Feb by El Calafate. But we have no idea about it.
• Marybel (8/5): Very good -
• Katherine (10/5): Loved it! - This was probably the best place I've ever stayed. So cosy and comfortable. The lady on reception was super helpful. The radiators were good and made the place toasty. It's right in the centre of town, near bars, restaurants and travel agencies for booking tours. The lady on reception suggested good travel agencies which was very helpful because there are so many to choose from. I can't rate this place highly enough. I didn't want to leave! Nothing, this place was great.
• Rahul (10/5): Excellent and will stay here again - Great location and very well maintained property. It’s super safe. The cabanas are well built and all amenities work. Beds were comfortable and we had enough space. We had to keep windows open at night for ventilation. They should perhaps have a small fan in the room.
• Edward (10/5): Exceptional -
• Grant (7/5): The apartments are actually cabins. - Staff were very helpful with a late check out and a lounge area available until we had to leave for the airport. Noisy on the weekends with our cabin backing onto a bar with loud music until 01:00 then turned down but continued until 02:00.
• Kl (7/5): Good -
• Jean-pierre (9/5): Superb - Excellent accomodation with spacious bungalows. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The location is great, very close to the centre of town (walking distance). The only problem we had was loud music from a nearby bar one night. Of course not something the owners could do anything about.
• Prashant (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giselle (10/5): Best stay in Calafate. Centrally located - The property was beautiful and very clean. I felt at home. The location could not be better I like everything about this property
• John (8/5): Nice private and quiet cabins ideally located just steps from main street. - Nice cabins in perfect location, easy walking distance to main street, restaurants/cafes, and shopping. Great water pressure in the showers. Protected parking was nice. No air conditioning, so needed to use windows to cool down, which works well, but also allows insects in. Bigger refrigerator would be nice. Laundry would be helpful.
• Maciel (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable accommodation
• Alessandro (10/5): Perfect. I would return here and recommend it to anyone - Perfect location and cozy environment 20 meters away from the Main Street. Green area around the apartment is really nice. Great staff Some furnishings might need renovation but it is ok
• Brett (10/5): Would recommend - Fabulous location easy walk to every thing All good
• Xela (9/5): Superb - Great location, friendly staff. Helped us book taxis to airport / bus terminal
• Claire (8/5): Excellent and Comfortable - We didn't have breakfast as in a self-catering chalet. Excellent location just minutes from the main street. There is nothing about the accommodation that we didn't like.
• Claire (8/5): Excellent and comfy - Breakfast not included. Location excellent - just a short walk to main street and all amenities. Quiet location. Chalets well set out in well maintained garden. Staff were very helpful and friendly. A very peaceful and restful place. There is nothing that we didn't like.
• Christian (9/5): Superb -
• Jason (10/5): Exceptional - The location was excellent. Very Clean. All amenities you need. Dated but comfortable. Good wifi
• Brandreth (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tony (7/5): Good - Location, grounds were pretty Front staff was very helpful Didn’t like the bed The couch needs to be replaced
• Jennifer (3/5): Bait and switch with costs so beware, also no one available. - Location is amazing! No front desk staff outside of 8am to 4pm. So we never were able to reach anyone. We didn’t get a receipt. Also, we booked for $450 but when we paid it was $477!!! So I had to use all my cash to pay in USD.
• Mary (9/5): Superb -
• Michele (10/5): Highly recommend - Beautiful cabins, quiet and peaceful. Lovely set up. Staff extremely helpful. Great location to downtown.
• White (6/5): Pleasant - Great location. Lovely cosy cabins surrounded by pretty gardens. Quiet. Uncomfortable beds. Uncomfortable sofa. Cabin was quite small for three adults.
• Stacy (9/5): Convenient - Spacious and clean Didn’t offer breakfast
• Dana (10/5): Great stay, great staff! - The property was clean and exactly as expected. Our luggage was delayed by the airline and when it arrived at the property, the staff was kind enough to leave it in our room for us. Location is very convenient to town!
• Wenbo (6/5): Pleasant - Convenient location Parking is very limited; showerhead didn’t work properly
• Gustavo (8/5): Very good - It is a cozy "cabin", although not fully isolated construction (you can hear your neighbors). You can hear the sounds of the street during the night. I think it is pricey for what it offers.
• Susan (9/5): Superb - Very clean cabins and well kept property
• Sophia (9/5): Charming and convenient - Great location right off the main road. Charming cottages. It was lovely and convenient! It was a little hot in the apartment but we opened the windows.
• Kirsten (9/5): Overall we were very satisfied - We selected the Santa Monica apartments based on the reviews, which I think were very accurate. There are not a lot of frills to the apartments, which are like log cabins, but we had everything we needed. The facilities were spotless, the wifi was fine, there was plenty of hot water and although Patricia and I did not have a common language, we were able to communicate readily through what's app. I also really appreciated how close we were to the town. I did a lot of research for a hotel in El Calafate and it seems that many of the hotels are further out and are generally not highly rated. The beds were pretty small for my family (3 out of 4 of us are over 6ft). But I imagine that most tenants are not that tall.
