Reviewed Feb 24, 2026Everything was wonderful about the apartment: the decor, the size, the comfort, and especially the owner. The included breakfast was the biggest surprise, local eggs and homegrown fresh fruit. I learned too late that I could have reserved dinner with the owners a day in advance, which I will definitely arrange the next time. Their property is an oasis of greenery and flowers.
This location is not easy walking distance to the center of El Calafate, so a car would be recommended, although the owner was very helpful ordering a cab for me and it wasn't expensive. I didn't stay long enough.

Reviewed Jan 17, 2026Really appreciated all the personal attention, the small gestures in breakfast amenities and fresh fruits plus the comfortable setting and lay out of the place. The location is in walking distance of the city centre and close to a large supermarket.
Only thing which I can think off that needs improvement would be the bathroom. The shower is difficult to operate to get the right temperature and there's a bath but no plug so wasn't able to use it but did not ask about it otherwise I'm sure some arrangement would have been made.

Reviewed Dec 26, 2025L'hôte, Maria est très accueillante et chaleureuse. Sa guesthouse découle d'un joli projet avec son conjoint. On s'y sent comme à la maison. Maria est disponible au besoin et de bons conseils. Le lieu est très joli, entouré d'un jardin bien entretenu. Nous avons libre accès au lave-linge ce qui est très appréciable, seul le produit est payant. Excellent rapport qualité-prix, on recommande chaudement Kiritina's house !!!
Dommage que le lieu soit un peu loin du centre (25 minutes à pieds), idéalement il faut avoir une voiture. La douche est un peu capricieuse pour avoir de l'eau chaude mais avec un peu de pratique on arrive à la faire fonctionner.

Reviewed Dec 25, 2025Unsere Gastgeberin María hat uns einen ganz tollen Aufenthalt in El Calafate beschert. Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet, bei Ankunft erhielten wir ein Frühstück. Alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt mit rustikalem Charme. María war immer angenehm präsent, wenn wir etwas brauchten, versorgte unsmit vielen wertvollen Insidertipps und half bei der Kommunikation mit lokalen Dienstleistern. Am letzten Abend luden sie und ihr Mann uns und zwei weitere Gäste zu einem gemeinsamen Abendessen mit selbstgemachter Pizza ein. Vielen lieben Dank Maria und weiterhin alles Gute! 🙏

Reviewed Dec 8, 2025Apartamento acogedor decorado con gusto y con todo lo necesario para disfrutar de la estancia. Los utensilios de la cocina son bastante nuevos, cosa que es de agradecer enormemente. Puede usarse la lavadora de la casa por un precio mejor que módico. Tiene cerca varias tiendas y take away, además de un supermercado grande. Y María, la dueña, es un sol de mujer que se desvive para que tu estancia sea lo más agradable posible. Le pongo un 10 porque no puede ponerse más.
Está algo alejado del centro y en la parte alta del pueblo, por lo que llegar hasta él andando puede hacerse pesado. Aunque a nosotros no nos hizo falta, el apartamento carece de televisión.

Reviewed Nov 4, 2025The Kiritina Home Stay is great. We stayed for 3 nights in the small cabin and had a lovely time. It is very clean and cozy, with cute art and decorations throughout the house. The garden and hammock are delightful. Maria and her husband also have a dog, some chickens and a couple of cats - one of whom came to visit us on several occasions. He is very snuggly!
Everything was great. No complaints.

Reviewed Dec 19, 2022The host changed some money with me so that I can pay her for taxi and buy some food. To appreciate, i raised my rating from 1 to 2
Wrong facilities information - not a private bathroom but a shared one. The toilet lid is not in good condition that you need to hold it when you are using the toilet Room with limited privacy - the curtain is almost transparent, and the window is facing the garden. Also, it is hard to fall asleep if you need to rest in a no-light environment Delayed response - every time when I seek for emergency help including late show up of the pick-up shuttle or a not-functioning-properly-hairdryer, I get response after the issues are solved. So please take lead time into consideration and perhaps seek for other solutions when you are in need Environment with fierce dogs and insects- yes the garden is beautiful, which also invites centipedes to the toilet and spiders to your room. Also, there are many dogs living in this area. I was surrounded by two big barking dogs (one of them is owned by the host and tried to bite me) when I walked back Very difficult to get help from the host - if you are a foreigner who needs an active SIM card or guide to exchange money, you may just get response such as “you have bad luck” or “you have to do it by yourself”. Heard other hostels help their guests to activate their SIM card. Lucky them Very far away from city center - >30 minutes uphill walking back and 25 minutes downhill walking to the city. Barely can get a taxi if you have a bad luck and can’t activate your sim card I was impressed with a lot of good reviews from previous guests so that I booked this place. Disappointedly, those beautiful things didn’t happen to me.

Reviewed Nov 6, 2022It is a guest house which is rare in Argentina and corresponds much more to my way of travelling because it allows me to meet the locals people. The owners are absolutely charming and very generous with their time but also with small gifts (cake, asado etc.) and invitation. Marias is so available for informations. The garden is enchanting and the house very nicely decorated. The city center is only a 25-minute walk away and excursions are easy to organize. A simple walk in the lagoon (30 minutes walk from Maria's house) will allow you to discover many birds and to see the snowy peaks from Los Glacier national park. This establishment and its host, Maria, are in the TOP 10 of my trips, I thus decided to extend my stay.
