Le jardin est super
Pas de petit déjeuner (mentionné sur la résa) Pas d'eau chaude
Jess muy paciente y servicial, agradecido por su atención.
La tapa de uno de los baños se cae y es molesto, talvez solo falta ajustar.
We loved the volunteers and the outdoor areas with all of the artwork.
We didn’t like the owner, he was incredibly rude, yelling at us in Spanish and treating us poorly over a discussion regarding foreigners paying the VAT tax. He refused to listen and just shouted at us, having to get his son to talk to us as he has no calm. Also, the cleaning schedule starts at 7am which means if you are in a room next to the kitchen like we were, you will be woken up by the banging of the pots and bathroom cleaning etc
muy divertido, ameno para quienes estamos de viaje, muy comunitario y artesanal
los implementos y su estado y limpieza puede mejorar.
L’accueil des volontaires et le jardin
Propreté et odeur
La ubicación, se puede caminar al centro. Los voluntarios son muy amables.
Las instalaciones, en la pieza solo había un enchufe y podrían mejorar la iluminación. El baño cercano a la cocina se inundaba después de que usaban la ducha. En general los ruidos, las piezas no tienen buen aislamiento acústico, se escucha cuando cocinan, cuando usan el baño, cuando juegan ping pong o tocan el piano.
L'emplacement est agréable pour se balader à pied ou en bus. Le prix est très accessible et la terrasse extérieure agréable.
L’hostal manque un peu de propreté dans la cuisine notamment et de rénovation dans les salles de bain.
Todo muy lindo y cómodo la atención exelente
This was such a chill and great place to relax. The owner Claudio is very welcoming and the hostel is very sociable. Location is great for all things needed in Arica and the place is run by volunteers which gives it a real community feeling. Really recommend this place to anyone wanting some downtime between travels and a wholesome hostel experience. Muchas gracias por todo!
nothing to add
Excelente atención, recomendable al 100%🙂
Personas muy amables y un ambiente familiar.
La iluminación de la habitación debería tener otra ubicación más estratégica para tener mejor visualización al momento de hacer uso de ella.
Casi nada
Un poco sucio las cosas, la cocina un poco antiguo, mucho aferta de drogas, marijuana, etc. No hay desayuno incluido, los voluntarios tienen contacto con las pandilleros de las playas, vas a la playa y te estan siguiendo los pandilleros entre 3 o mas personas desnutridas, muy antiguo y parece extrema pobreza. Le preguntas sobre lugares turisticos y solo te dicen a los lugares que ya fuiste, o sea te siguen tus pasos te hacen reglaje en todo momento. Peligroso para ir con dinero. No recomiendo, quizas terminas siendo robado
O hostel tem uma energia maravilhosa e acolhedora, atendimento maravilhoso, ótima localização, confortável... Super recomendo 🥰
Muy acogedor Todo muy ordenado
No tenía enchufe en mi sector ( cama )
Muy bien pero puede mejorar más aún es un muy grato ambiente
Just lokation
Very dirty place ,some people been smoking weed and everythink was coming to my room ,staff very loud till late night,very bad condition of kitchen and bathrooms
nice atmosphere and cozy feeling, there's also everything you need and everything is relatively clean
didn't find the location very convenient, located very far from beach. booked this place to be able to rest but there was no silence time in this hostel, so loud talk and music playing after midnight. couldn't sleep long either as the noice coming in from the open window (the window screen was missing). if you come more to socialize than rest, it's probably perfect for you.
la entrega abierta e cordial del personal
La atención, ubicación y el patio todo excelente.
Todo excelente
La calidez de las personas que atienden, me hicieron sentir acogida, cómoda y disfrute mi estadía con personas amables, alegres. Es un lugar distinto, puedes comer o leer bajo la sombra de plantas, Tiene diferentes ambientes comunes, todos cómodos, tranquilos. Lo rústico y natural para mi es su principal atractivo, así como el que cuente con cocina que me permitió preparar mis alimentos. Está cerca a todo, bodegas, panaderías, a la avenida céntrica y de comercio, a la playa. Es un lugar muy bien ubicado, más aún por el trato familiar que te brinda. Si tengo que volver a Arica, siempre lo haré a este lugar. Gracias María Jesús por tu alegría y amistad y en general a todos.
Solo dos baños
Tranquilidad , ubicación, muy buen precio.
no hubo recepcionista hasta 2 horas después, me cobraron impuestos a pesar de ser extranjero y el colchón ya estaba en mal estado.
Die kleine Katze war süß
Es war extrem unsauber und dreckig. Überall lief Ungeziefer wie Kakerlaken herum und viele Spinnen (es gibt auch giftige Spinnen in Chile!). Das Wasser im Bad wurde nie richtig warm. Abends chillt das Personal mit Freunden im Garten, trinkt, hört laut Musik und kifft marihuana. Durch die teils fehlende Scheibe im Zimmer hört und riecht man leider alles. Die Betten sehen aus und hören sich so an, als würden sie gleich zusammen krachen. Schlechtes Wlan. Abseits des Zentrums.
Solo la ubicación
Cero conciencia con las personas que arriendan, ruido toda la noche y temprano en la mañana mala ubicación con respecto a espacios comunes y habitaciones baños muy pequeños lugar cagados por las aves del lugar 0 recomendable
Son petfriendly y mi mascota fue muy bien recibida. Estoy eternamente agradecido por eso. Lo demás de 10 como siempre!
Todo me gustó.
Calida recepción, ubicación central, tiene un lindo patio acogedor y tranquilo. Bastante limpio. Tambien tienen servicio de alimentación para quienes deseen dentro del hostel.
受付してくれた男性スタッフの方がとてもフレンドリーで居心地良かったです。 また、一泊しかしないにも関わらず、ベットの下の段をリクエストしたらわざわざベットメイキングをして使わせて貰えました。 犬や猫がいてとてもリラックスできました。
El ambiente que se quiere Amistad Buena onda
Que se hace corto el momento
Estuve muy bien
En general todo bien
Estilo campestre
No me gusta baño compartido
El piano y ambiente cultural dentro del hostel,los dueños te dan buena acogida, te muestran el lugar y te explican el funcionamiento.
Gemütliches, einfaches Hostel mit tollem Garten und freundliche Hosts. Atmosphäre ist cool und etwas Hippy mäßig
Das Hostel hat seine beste Zeit schon hinter sich und müsste mal saniert werden....
Lugar limpio y confortable. Con un ambiente super agradable
No hay espejo en las habitaciones
Si
Only would be enjoyable if you plan to drink yourself unconscious every night.
Terrible experience. Both nights we stayed there we were woken by drunken shouting and loud music (1am and onwards). Our room was right by the kitchen with just a thin door. The whole place was filthy and we had dead cockroaches in our room.
El trato y lugar
Algunas partes de la aviación necesitan una limpieza
todo exelente su jardinin la tranquilidad incomparables, las nochjes en la fogata son muy agradable, hay un piano y guitarra para los amantes de la musica.
Limpieza ambiente entorno union
Nada todo súper y es verdad
Habitación
Buena ubicacion, bonito lugar, buenos precios
Personal amable pero un poco informal. Seria bueno tener colgadores de ropa y espejos en los dormitorios, eso ayudaria a que los baños esten mas disponibles.
La amabilidad
Nada todo maravilloso
Los lugares comunes
Falta de enchufes para conectar el cargador en piezas compartidas
El ambiente de todo el hostal!
un relajo un oasis en el desierto, muy bien, experiencia totalmente recomendable
Tolle Lage, nette Leute, schöner Innenhof
Toilette verstopft, relativ laut
El lugar muy tranquilo y acogedorm
Mi estancia fue muy corta
El personal muy atento y una experiencia muy amena. ayudaron con solucionar algunas dudas y brindaron comodidades accesibles muy gratas.
Habían algunas instalaciones por mejorar y pues que la reserva fue con baño propio la cuál no había pero ayudaron con solucionar la situación. Muchas gracias .
We arrived very early and they let us store our bags there while we explored the city. They even offered us breakfast even though we hadn't checked in yet and allowed us Wifi access. There were plenty of toilets available and the showers were hotter than hot. Our room was spacious with storage, and the bed was comfortable and warm. There was an amazing outdoor communal space with a fire pit. There was plenty of wildlife to see, including hummingbirds.
Showers a little temperamental at times, you just had to bear with them to adjust.
Chill atmosphere and amazing garden, helpful staff-just a lovely place to hang out and relax!
Nice place ran by volunteers. Garden area, large lockers, possible to play guitar/piano. Source of drinkable water available. Good price.
A really solid backpacker hostel. Not as polished as a shiny corporate-style hostel, but with a lot more heart. The staff are nice, the place is honest about what it offers, and there are a lot of useful facilities. As a birdwatcher I enjoyed seeing a new bird for me (Oasis Hummingbird) in the garden
I don't really have any complaints. Read the other reviews and you'll get a good idea of its weaknesses.
Cute hostel with a lovely garden and very helpful owner and volunteers. It's located a short walk away from one of the main streets of the city, but far enough to provide a quiet environment.
The facilities were clean for hostel standards. However, a spring clean of sorts couldn't hurt.
Nice grungy hostel with a beautiful garden which is perfect for meeting other people. Bit run down but the atmosphere makes up for it.
They lost my pillow case in the washing,
Good location, helpful staff .
Great staff, fun 20-30 yr old travelers from around the world. Also great if you’re heading towards Bolivia or Peru for trekking and sightseeing.
Need to take an uber or taxi from airport or bus terminal
Close to the beach lots of younger travelers making their way to north, salt fields, Peru or Bolivia.
A bit of a walk from the terminal of buses a cab is needed
La posada del gallo is one of the best hostel where I have ever been. The garden is amazing and the environment is automatically bringing you to socialize with other people. The owners and the voluntary staff was so amazing that it was difficult to leave. Thanks to all of you
Nothing
Todo bien. Clean room, clean shared bathroom, garden and a communal kitchen. Owner helped us with a Taxi for the next morning.
There was a nice vibe and the location was ok. There was hot water in the shower. The breakfast was nice. The outdoor common spaces were nice too.
Some things didn’t seem very clean and the bathroom was outside and wasn’t protected from the cold
host and volunteers are friendly, a big garden with chill vibe. never need to worry about toilet paper, there's always having second one in the bathroom.
The owner was exceedingly helpful in arranging a tour for us. The volunteer staff were friendly and helpful too. Washing clothes was available for a nominal fee. We were allowed to stay in the grounds after checkout for most of the day. A lovely coffee shop on site, which also provided food if required. Limited book swap available. There were two kitchens, with ovens, hobs, fridge etc and quite well stocked with pans , plates etc. Within easy walking distance to the Morro, town center, beaches, ports and museums. Half hour walk to bus terminal or $2-3 for taxi.
Exceedingly noisy both well into the early hours and again early in the morning. Other guests felt the need to play the out of tune piano, guitars, accordion and music exceedingly loudly, constantly and at all hours (there was no stipulated quiet time or hours, which some guests thought it gave them the right to do this). In the room we had no shower curtain, nowhere to hang the musty towels. There were two kitchens, where utencils etc kept migrating from one to the other. The hostel is lovely but quite tired, although some of the volunteers were working on improvements.
