Very adorable place! Unique cabins with a great view, and they provide breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay here.
(Translated by Google) Since Mr. Mariano Speranza forgets very easily about his guests, I help him remember, we stayed in January 2021 and unfortunately it was a tremendous disappointment since the photos published on the website are totally false, the state of the cabins is deplorable both in maintenance and dirt. He was kind, I must admit, but you do not choose an establishment because of the good vibes of its owners, for this reason I cannot recommend it to absolutely anyone. (Original) Ya que el Sr. Mariano Speranza se olvida muy facilmente de sus huespedes le ayudo a recordar, nos hospedamos en Enero 2021 y lamentablemente fue una tremenda decepción ya que las fotos publicadas en la web son totalmente falsas, el estado de las cabañas es deplorable tanto en mantenimiento como en suciedad. El fue amable, hay que reconocerlo, pero uno no elige un establecimiento por la buena onda de sus dueños, por tal motivo no puedo recomendarselo a absolutamente nadie.
(Translated by Google) A FRAUD! If you don't want to be scammed, don't go to this cabin! - Terrible reception - entrance in an evident state of abandonment with puddles of water, rags and clothing lying bare and wet on the floor, cigarette butts scattered - keyless door lock - plugs broken and dangerous for use - generalized dirt: floor, dishes, bed covers and bathrooms - no towels or soap - a house for 7 people with dishes only for 3 - no kitchen utensils, broken burners - jacuzzi with hanging motor with exposed cables not connected and a bathtub full of dirt. - walls with visible thermal insulation - big hole in the ceiling - Terrace with inaccessible lake view - Completely abandoned cabins All this does not correspond to how much was offered to us and how much is published on their website. (Original) UNA ESTAFA! Si no quieren ser estafados no vayan a esta cabaña! - Malisima recepción - ingreso en evidente estado de abandono con charcos de agua, trapos y indumentoa susios y mojados en el piso, colillas de cigarrillos desparramadas - serradura de la puerta sin llave - enchufes rotos y peligrosos para el utilizo - suciedad generalizada: piso, vajillas, cubre camas y baños - sin toallas ni jabón - una casa para 7 personas con vajillas solo para 3 - sin utensilios de cocina, hornallas rotas - jacuzzi con motor colgado con cables a la vista no conectados y bañera llena de tierra. - paredes con aislamiento térmico a la vista - grande agujero en el techo - Terraza con vista lago inacsesible - Cabañas completamente abandonadas Todo esto no corresponde a cuánto nos fue ofrecido y cuánto está publicado en su sitio web.

(Translated by Google) Honestly a disaster, far from what they have published on the website. In our case we rented a cabin with a whirlpool, it never worked, the dirt predominates, when we arrived there was a tray with Milanese in the refrigerator, who knows from when! The truth is that they scammed us! We made a great economic effort to get to know Calafate. It overshadowed our vacation. It is evidently in decline. It is not recommended. (Original) Sinceramente un desastre, lejos de lo que tienen publicado en la página de internet. En nuestro caso alquilamos una cabaña con hidromasaje, nunca anduvo, predomina la suciedad, cuando llegamos había una bandeja con milanesas en la heladera, quién sabe de cuando! La verdad que nos estafaron! Hicimos un esfuerzo económico muy grande para conocer el Calafate. Nos opacó las vacaciones. Evidentemente está en decadencia. No es recomendable.

(Translated by Google) We are four friends who stayed Friday, November 25, 2022 to the 27th Same year, the truth is that the place is a disaster, it was dirty everywhere you looked, the sheets looked used and the towels too! The bathrooms leaked, there was no hot water! The oven lid was held up with a hook, and there was a smell of gas! We asked the owner for collaboration and he acted in a hurry and on other occasions he did not answer us! It seemed like he was doing us a favor! If you don't want to suffer from filth and abuse, don't go to those cabins! They leave a lot to be desired, even though they are far from the center and to get there you have to walk a lot of hills!! May our experience serve to avoid other bitter pills! (Original) Somos cuatro amigas que estuvimos hospedadas viernes 25 de noviembre de 2022 al 27 del Mismo año, la verdad que el lugar es un desastre, estaba sucio por donde se lo mirara, las sábanas parecían usadas y las toallas también! Los baños perdian, no había agua caliente!, la tapa del horno se sostenía con un gancho, y había olor a gas! Le pedimos colaboración al dueño y se hizo el apurado y en otras oportunidades no nos contestó! Parecía que nos hacía un favor! Si no quieren padecer de mugre y destrato no vayan a esas cabañas! Dejan mucho que desear, más allá de que están lejos del centro y para llegar hay que caminar mucha loma!! Que nuestra experiencia sirva para evitar otros tragos amargos!
