Lodge Bordebaker

Stayed 4 nights and had the attention of hosts (very attentive and intentional) for first 2 days but then we were the only guests and things were different. It was fine but the food was not as fresh since the chef was not around. The room rates are very very high compared to all other lodging on our trip and the cost of food is double elsewhere at least. The chef cooks a great meal, but USD$60 pp for dinner (all courses), $8 glass of wine, etc is exceptionally high. Lunches were super handy and very delicious for our day trips but they were also USD$20 pp. And here I thought food in the USA was expensive! ||The mistake on our part was not asking for the price list at beginning of our stay. It is not posted anywhere that I could see. That all said, there are not a lot of alternatives in the entire area of the same caliber so this is the best.||Getting suitcases to the room is via wooden walkways (think: Tortel) with steps, so you have to carry them mostly unless you get #3 unit. And the parking is farther away hear road as well, though you can get your car up to the walkway, but its a narrow bumpy little lane.||Summer 2025/26 construction between hotel and Patagonia NP / Cochrane can be tricky. Advice: leave early in AM / come back well after 6 pm or plan for a Sunday (when the construction work is lesser hours). The hotel will only start serving breakfast at 8AM, so you can't leave super early. The construction looks longer term (entire summer?). ||Puerto Bertrand is close in the opposite direction, on a asphalt Ruta 7, so its quick to get there, but the selection of eateries is limited, but there is some mercados.

Fantastic quiet location with stunning views over the Rio Baker. Just loved it. The cabins are all individual so very quiet and accessed via staging so care is needed with the steps. All have huge picture windows overlooking the river and a small terrace to sit out on.|The only downside was not enough transparency with the cost of meals and there is nowhere else to go. Also like another reviewer we had problems with all our cards when it came to paying the bill which spoiled the visit somewhat. The staff were all extremely friendly and good fun.

An amazing hospitality and dining experience after a long journey. I never thought I would feel as welcomed in Patagonia as I did years ago at the Andes Lodge (near Puelo – see my 2020 review). However, Sebastián, Hernán and Chris exceeded our expectations in terms of service and gastronomy. It's a pity I only booked for one night… but I'll be back soon for a longer stay. Congratulations to this small but great team !

Beautiful location. Lodges nicely situated but some remedial work needed. The main window blind was disintegrating, on arrival the room was absolutely freezing and the boardwalk steps down to the river were extremely dangerous with the handrail collapsing on use in several places.|A very good breakfast although the dinner despite being well presented was pricey. There is no choice of menu except for the set meal and due to the remoteness of the lodge you are a captive customer.|A word of warning...I would advise having cash or a debit card to pay your bill as our two credit cards were declined within a public arena which was both embarrassing and concerning. However when both credit cards where used elsewhere they worked perfectly.

A magnificent place to discover. Stunning views over the marvellous Rio baker and the mountains, this hotel has only 7 exquisite wooden beautifully arranged bungalow cabins, ensuring you absolute peace and communion with nature. Bungalow experience is state of the art and so cosy. Service (Herman, Sebastian and team) in Borde Bake Lodge is excellent, very friendly and proper. The cuisine is a real plus in this remote region. The chef (Cristobal I think) prepares exquisite cuisine with high quality local ingredients. We are French and very much into great cuisine and we were fully satisfied and pleasantly surprised. A true high end, precious experience in this carretea Austral part of our trip. Highly highly recommended.

We stayed here for 3 nights.|The experience was exceptional. Rooms were extremely comfortable, warm and well appointed with a spectacular full height glazed window overlooking the turquoise River Baker below.|Staff were all so helpful and kind to us making us immediately welcome - nothing too much trouble.|Chris (Chef) made the best meals we have had yet on this 5 week trip around Patagonia- all fresh ingredients from local sources. Bread and cookies a real bonus.|Sebastián- barman/waiter/sommelier was the perfect host and Estaphano a brilliant organiser, local knowledge guru and cloud expert! And special mention to our housekeeper who was just the best! Xx|If you stay on this section of the Baker River - stay here you will not regret it.

Spent a week there with my father (early march 2024) and we absolutely enjoyed everything. Spectacular views from the cabin on the stunning rio Baker overshadowed by picturesque mountains and glaciers. Very friendly staff. Amazing food. We seriously could not believe the quality of every single meal we had considering how remote the lodge is. I don't recognize the names mentionned from earlier reviews, but I can garantee that the level of the lodge is still an easy 5 star. Well worth the long but very scenic road to get there. Highly recommended.

This place is awesome. Everything about it, from the scenery the hospitality, the people. Loved this trip. Would recommend anyone come visit. The best part was the view from our cabin onto the river. So cool.
