This is a small eco-boutique hotel located just one block from the center of town. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The hotel serves breakfast but not lunch or dinner. This is not an issue since you are very close to Libertadores Av where you find great restaurants and shopping. There is also a great bakery across the hotel where you can get lunch for your hikes. The GM, Mariano, is also a mounting guide and gave us great tips on El Chalten and Perito Moreno.

10/10 Exceptional

Highly Recommended!!!!!!

I usually don’t comment anything but this hotel is highly recommended. 5 stars ⭐️. Its clean, well located, friendly. They treat you like one of their family members. Mariano and Natacha are super nice. They even help you to book reservations for restaurants, took us to the airport, and gave us a tour around El Calafate. Also, i have some issues with WesternUnion and they were really into help me out. Therefore, if you are planning to book a hotel in El calafate don’t think twice and stay at Madre Tierra Patagonia .

Friendly front staff. Must either pay in cash or pre-purchase through Expedia or alternative website. Shower vacillated from extremely hot to extremely cold. Did not have hot coffee available at 7 am as we were leaving for our excursion. Pillows were so hard that I used my camping pillow instead of theirs.
Theresa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Robbed by the front desk

Average hotel with good location. We were out right by the reception and while at dinner money was stolen out of our room’s safe. I had discussed paying for breakfast with the front desk attendant and he insisted on USD instead of pesos. I returned to my room and quickly grabbed the money and paid for the breakfast we had. When we returned later that evening it appeared that someone had “turned down” our room. Straightening the sheets and moving a blanket off the bed. A little sign from the hotel staff was placed on the corner of the bed. As we were checking out the next day we cleared out the safe to pack and found $40 USD missing. We notified the front desk and we were told there was a key to open the safe and they had cameras they would review to see if someone had snuck in and taken the key to then steal from our safe. It seems very clearly to be an inside job. We had to catch a bus early the next day and were staying in a location without wifi until now. Will be following up with the owners.

Fantástico.

Espectacular como te tratan Mariano y Rosa, te hacen sentir como en casa, recomendable al 100%. Volveríamos sin duda alguna.
Oziel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I really wanted to give this 5 stars but I can’t. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are great and the staff friendly. The downside. Payment. Despite having a booking which was “pay at property”, my payment was taken before I arrived using the card I’d used to hold the booking. This wasn’t checked with me. As a consequence they added an extra 15% (as per the t&cs for card payments). If I’d agreed to this AT THE PROPERTY it would have been fine but to have the payment taken in advance without checking so an extra 15% is added, isn’t right. They also deny any wrongdoing on this. I’d have paid in cash at the property but their actions didnt give me this choice.

10/10 Exceptional

This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. It's a boutique hotel with five-star service. Rosa and Matías and the other staff are phenomenal. They made us feel like family. The breakfast buffet is a huge and delicious spread. There are cafes and restaurants close by, but the street is quiet. It's a few minutes walk from the beautiful Nimez nature reserve. Truly, we did not want to leave this gem of a hotel. Calafate is a wonderful base to explore this area of Patagonia. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Staff was very nice. Rooms were clean, but basic. There were no amenities at the hotel. Basic breakfast was served. The best part of this hotel is an outstanding local guide — Mariano. We were beyond thrilled with Mariano and his expert knowledge of the area. An exceptional guide! Great personality and highly knowledgeable of the most important area attractions. Very experienced and goes out of his way to make every outdoor excursion the very best. Mariano is a true find!
