MadreTierra Patagonia - Hosteria Boutique

What a charming hotel! From the friendly check-in, to our artistically designated rooms, which were also individually and thoughtfully decorated, this was my favorite hotel during our 3-week visit to Argentina and Chile. Also the best breakfast! The buffet was well-curated, and individual tables were provided with fruit salad, media lunas, and a special pastry treat. The buffet had more to offer, and the chef offered us eggs and bacon cooked to order. It is a small hotel, and seems to be run by a family, all of whom are very helpful and knowledgeable. They recommended a visit to Laguna de Nimez, a bird sanctuary that we would have otherwise overlooked. It was a comfortable, easy stay - I wish we could have stayed longer, and I would definitely come back. We had a lovely visit. I highly recommend this hotel!

Our entire experience at Madre Tierra was top notch. Our driver was waiting for us upon arrival at the El Calafate airport. The hotel is lovely and cozy and you feel like you are staying at a house instead of a hotel. Loved the common space upstairs for late night wine and conversation with our friends. The breakfast was hearty and they even accommodated our early departure by serving breakfast before they opened. Overall Mariano and his staff were fantastic and I highly recommend staying at this property if visiting the region.

Hotel was nice but room we had was small. You need to leave your keys at the reception every time you leave. Water was given for first night but free coffee and tea was available at the reception.

Everything is average with this hotel. El Calafate is a tiny town, you can walk 3’ further and will find better and cheaper hotel than this one. The room was very small. The strange thing about this hotel is you have to leave your room key at the front desk every single time you leave the hotel. The service provided by Rosa was great though, she was the only highlight of this stay.

An amazing staff, perfect location, very good breakfast. Everything was perfect during my 5 days in MasreTierra ! Matthaeus and Mariano were really helpful and kind, I recommend a looooot this place if you plan to stay in El Calafate

The best place to stay in El Calafate. Mariano and team are extremely welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and all it has to offer. The rooms are cozy, clean and comfortable. A large and hot breakfast is available every morning. The team is also able to help customize experiences for you throughout your stay and any transfers necessary. This stay was exceptional. If we return to El Calafate, we will return to Madre Tierra.

Such a cute bed & breakfast. The rooms were adorable, very clean, and had great hot showers. The breakfast was good - had eggs, bread, fruit, pastries, etc. Perfectly located to walk to the main road (3 blocks away) and had free parking too. The staff was extremely kind and helpful in advice on where to go, hiking tips, food, etc. Highly recommend!

Terrible experience. The staff were rude and poorly trained, they charged us a different amount than agreed, the rooms had a strange smell, we were cold, and the breakfast was quite weak as well. One of the worst experiences of the trip — plus loud music at night. We do not recommend it and it’s not worth the price!
