    The cabana was compact and warm. Always hot water and excellent storage. Very good kitchen though could have offered a pot. The toilet a little small but we coped. The cabana needs a little work as some floor boards broken. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

    Downside was that the handle of our door was broken and kept falling off which was not great. We did ask the host to take a look at it, but nothing ever happened.

    Good property, all you need for a couple of nights. Kitchen utensils were limited but did the job.

    The site was not completely tidy, and parts of it were unsightly. Crockery was chipped and cracked and we didn't feel comfortable using it. We were expecting a "mobile home", but it was in reality more of a "gypsy caravan".

    The friendliness / helpfulness of the host. The BUTCH restaurant next door was exceptional, and very convenient.

    The shower has almost no pressure. The toilet is too small and uncomfortable. I think the price is high for what you get, but everything is incredibly expensive in El Chalten, so difficult to say.

    The location very close to the city center and access to trekkings. The cabin was very cozy and warm. The bed was very comfortable. Great space for luggage. You have kitchen and private toilet. The views around.

    Very expensive for what it is, but that's El Chalten for you. Very strong smell of gas in the apartment, but that also seems to be common in Argentina

    Very clean. Good selection of kitchen utensils though it would have been useful to have cooking oil & salt n pepper at least. Very friendly helpful staff who came and fixed the heating when I accidentally turned it off

    Pot & pan old, no cover. Pillow too soft. Can get quite dusty. Toilet very small, won't be able to close the door but for solo traveller, it's ok.

    White bed quilt seems like new, warm and comfy. Towel, shampoo and soap provided. Don't have to eat out daily as have fridge & stove. Ander speaks English, perfect for those who don't understand Spanish. He is very friendly and helpful, can easily reach out via WhatsApp. Good location, close to main street and bus terminal. Pretty quiet at night and early morning as compared to staying in hostel.

    It had a bad smell (gas smell) all the time, and the last day the heating was not working, so the place was very cold.

    It was near to the center of the town. The kitchen has all the apliances that we need. It would be better if it has some instructions about how to turn on the stove because there were only 3 matches and we ran out trying to turning on.

    The WiFi did not work for us (at all), which caused a little trouble when looking at hiking routes and WhatsApp to bus companies etc. But free WiFi available at the square on the main road so not a big issue. Especially considering the area surrounding El Chalten.

    The accomodation was in a good area, close to the main street and bus terminal. Was spacious in the bungalow, with a well equipped kitchen and a great shower. Great for the price paid!

    Kitchen didn’t have a pot and the oven didn’t work, the stove top took a bit of playing around to get it working but got there in the end.

    We were only here for one night, it was super cozy and clean. Excellent location. Everything you need for a stay and hiking in the mountains. We wanted to stay another night. They let us store our bags when we left for a hike at 4.30am and were checking out that day.

    Very dilapidated structure, we were on the trailer, very small, no bathroom, only a WC (you couldn't close the door, too small) and a mini shower. The only sink was the one of the kitchen, everything was very old, also the water heater, a scary gas powered boiler with an always lit on flame in the kitchen. In fact it broke down the second day, living us without hot water. The day after we had an excursion, they had to repair it and when we came back, after 12 hours trekking, we couldn't go in our room because the plumber was still working. We asked for another room but nothing was possible. Wifi was very weak. Very difficult to talk with owners, the only guy managing the structure couldn't make nothing, we asked at least a price reduction for all the inconveniences and all we got from owners was the offer of a free breakfast the morning we were leaving, we didn't even answer. Worst accomodation of our patagonia tour. I wonder how booking can accept this low level structures.

    Position, close to main road

    There is no water at all and showering is impossible!!!!. I regret it. 100%. It's not easy to get answers from the hotel. The person who goes to Fitzroy can't talk about the inconvenience because we work different hours. When I go up the mountain, there is no internet, and when Nya comes down from the mountain, he is at work and doesn't answer.

    We were unable to shower (see attached photo) due to non existent water. We reported this and were ignored on booking.com so reported it to the guy who checked us in. We were told it’s just the water pressure in the whole of el chalten is poor and nothing can be done. We could hear showers running in the other cabins.
