Lovely accommodations in a cute neighborhood setting. Amazing breakfast!

Our rooms had a great view of the water and all the action in the port.

No frills accommodations that are unique and clean (almost like Yurt Camping). Easy walk down the dirt road to town. Grocery store close by at the corner. Expect the pool to be cold, the shower temperature to be variable and the breakfast to be good enough. You aren't in Atacama for luxury accommodations-- you're their for the excursions and unique experiences.

Angel was a great tour guide. We especially enjoyed our picnic overlooking the city. The trip to the market was also a highlight.

The geyers were one of our favorite aspects of our entire visit to Chile. Breathtaking panoramic views of the Andes Mountains and volcanoes. This excursion also includes a stop at a lake that inhabits hundreds of flamingoes! It was so cool to see them in their natural habitat.

There were some in our group that did not enjoy the hiking in the heat. That said, it was definitely a unique and beautiful experience. It feels like you are visiting a planet from Star Wars!

Make sure you are old enough/tall enough/strong enough to carry your own board up a large sand dune before you book. The view at the top is gorgeous overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Sandboarding was fun but we would've been just as content to watch the sunset from the top of the dunes.

What an adorable little winery and farm. This excursion was enjoyed by adults and children alike. The sheep, chickens and dogs were highly entertaining. Gorgeous scenery and super friendly staff. It was so interesting to hear from the owners about how they converted this farm from commercial/traditional production to organic. They had just opened to the public when we were there in November but I have no doubt that they are going to succeed and grow.

Valparaiso is a neat city with so much culture to explore!

Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location.

wonderfully welcoming place, quiet location.

Beautiful place, run by two wonderful sisters. Lush landscapes, large and comfortable room. Super helpful folks.

great location, basic comfortable room, a bit noisy

So beautiful, an oasis in San Pedro de Atacama. The grounds are peaceful, especially loved the platform beneath the trees, for lounging / meditating.

Fantastic! Touring the markets with Angel was the perfect introduction to Chile. Gastronomic bliss! Really really enjoyed the beautiful sunset picnic above the city. Hospitality from the heart!

Large bus group tour to Valparaiso was good. Street art was great.

Communication breakdown led to us not being informed about tour cancellation because of sky cover. Tour went the following day. Beautiful time in the desert, moon was bright so star-gazing was just OK.

The hotel was not great - basic but not close to anything and walking around was difficult. I think it would have been better to have been able to stay closer to the downtown core if possible.

This place was really great. Room good, staff helpful, breakfast excellent, good location to walk into town, pickups for tours was easy. I would recommend this to anyone.

This hotel had a very relaxed feeling despite people coming an going at all hours. Room was good size and the bathroom was spacious enough for two people. Location was relatively good - 10 minutes to town centre. It was clean and well maintained. Staff were really helpful.

All the Moai sites were interesting. Anakena was a bit disappointing because of all the people. Moai were good.

Guide was excellent and knew his history

Guide was a fill in but was very good. Very opinionated but he got his message across.

If you have snorkeled anywhere in the South Pacific or in the Galapagos this is really a waste of time. There are few fish - I maybe saw a total of 100 - and the variety is poor. I did it to say I had snorkeled at Easter Island but it was not very good. I was the only one in the group so had the leader to myself.

We got picked up at the time and dropped off.

Despite the early start this was worth it. The guide was awesome. I think perhaps the best one we had the whole trip.

The scenery was out of this world. The concept of salt mining took on a whole new meaning - I am not sure how they did it. The guide took us up a the long way first - great idea as it was not so steep.

This is a long day to start with so moving the viewing of the flamingos to the the Laguna Cejar day would have made this less strenuous. There is a lot of driving involved so one way to shorten it would be to change the flamingo viewing.

I thought this was good. It was very basic and so anyone who knew anything about stars and the Milky Way might have found this boring.

I love birds so that part was great. Swimming in the salt sea - well floating - was very tightly controlled. Not an issue with the guide but definitely with the Parks lady.

The location itself was great. The bellboy to the front desk employees were really attentive. What it lacks is an update to their rooms. Seems very dated. The bathroom needs to be fixed. It is functioning but it just doesn't look inviting at all. It needs caulking. Food was okay. Nothing fancy.

I like this place. It's maybe a good 10 minute walk from the city center but i like the peace and quiet that it provides. Room and bathroom is clean. It's not a high end lodge but i like the fact that they upcycle materials to use. The restaurant is clean and inviting. Food is okay. it's just a typical free breakfast. But i'll pick to stay here again if ever we'll be back in Chile.

We absolutely love this hotel !!! This has a lot of character. We love the quirkiness of this hotel. Every detail was thought of. The room has awesome. Clean and inviting. Too bad we only stayed here overnight. The restaurant was awesome. This hotel is an example of having a clean, inviting and comfortable without being expensive. They made use of what's native to the area and re-used vintage treasure finds to keep this place authentic. It is a small hotel since this used to be a house that's almost a century old but i just like the vibe. The only downside is the fact that there is no elevator which makes carrying your luggage harder not only for us guests but also for the staff that carries them.

The hotel is located in a good part town that is easy to access from Airport. Lots of good restaurants and shops nearby. The staff are very accommodating and the luggage storage room fit our ski bags and was easy to access when needed. The rooms vary in size. The pool room is relaxing.

A fantastic hotel. great location above the fray of the city with views of the harbor. The owners are super kind and accommodating to customers. (thanks for the Birthday breakfast with soundtrack!) The public space and outdoor area is clean and relaxing, which is nice after a day on the streets in town. The local is food is good if you want to stay in for a meal.

Upscale and modern. I wish I had an extra day here to relax outside under the tree.

The hotel is peaceful and clean. Wonderful artisan craftsmanship adorn the space. Hours of love and care have built this hotel.

The location is fantastic. Easy to walk around town and get picked up by tour companies. A bit noisy with guest leaving rooms. simple accommodations.

a fun filled day customized to meet our needs. We were able to surf the sand dunes ( "maybe we can ski it" ) and go swimming after a food feast of fresh local fish. When your guide (Angel) really listens and gets to know his guests, magic happens. We had so much fun and laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes.

Bright moon prevented good star viewing. telescopes were cool and learned new things. communication on pick up time, location and which tour operator could be improved.

good guides and drivers. very interesting day, learned a ton.

A very interesting experience and worth the early morning pick up. Rare and unique, great photos opportunities.

Our driver was excellent. He was kind and understanding as emotions were overflowing while seeing the Andes mountain range up close for the first time. Which in itself was a remarkable experience. With safety in mind, he delivered us in a timely manner. 80's pop sing along a bonus.

A great tour with Angel, our local guide from Responsible Travel. We hit the best empanada spot, met the owners and got to know about local spices, before heading to the markets for shopping. Drank traditional Mote con huesillo and the Pisco Sours. Enjoyed dishes showcasing the variety of fresh regional seafood. Finished the day with a sunset picnic in a secluded park overlooking the city. A magical day and a great way to spend a day in Santiago. Our guide was knowledgeable about regional dishes and local restaurants. Came prepared to escort us through the busy market stalls and answer all of our questions.

good communication from tour guide, great funny driver. Amazing murals Valparaiso. Go for the art, stay for the winding streets and discover /support local artists. good unique food and bar scene.
