Wonderful

This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. It's a boutique hotel with five-star service. Rosa and Matías and the other staff are phenomenal. They made us feel like family. The breakfast buffet is a huge and delicious spread. There are cafes and restaurants close by, but the street is quiet. It's a few minutes walk from the beautiful Nimez nature reserve. Truly, we did not want to leave this gem of a hotel. Calafate is a wonderful base to explore this area of Patagonia. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff was very nice. Rooms were clean, but basic. There were no amenities at the hotel. Basic breakfast was served. The best part of this hotel is an outstanding local guide — Mariano. We were beyond thrilled with Mariano and his expert knowledge of the area. An exceptional guide! Great personality and highly knowledgeable of the most important area attractions. Very experienced and goes out of his way to make every outdoor excursion the very best. Mariano is a true find!
Nice, cozy hotel, its unique wood setting as well as the beautiful furniture with nice history behind building it, was authentic.
Breakfast was great with such great friendly staff. It’s close to main restaurants and shopping area.
Staff / owner overly aggressive trying to SELL SERVICES including breakfast and managing tours
Payment transaction still needs clarification since its been over a week since I stayed and my credit card was not refunded as explained it would be
Would NOT Recommend
We had a wonderful stay at Madre Tierra. The hotel is located a few blocks off the main road which made it very convenient for shopping and dining out. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were VERY friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Madre Tierra!
Friendly, warming, ready to help and guide, excellent
quality overall.
Thank you

Really disorganized check in, slow. Really friendly staff clean hotel. Limited to no hot water in the morning. Great location. Breakfast is very overpriced
We had a lovely stay at MadreTierra - from our initiial welcome (including a refeshing glass of freshly squeezed juice) to the comfy room and delicious breakfast everything was great. Staff were also very helpful in arranging a taxi to the airport. Would highly reccommend!
Lovely hotel with a fantastic breakfast! Just two blocks walking distance to town makes this a great place to explore the Calafate area. The staff are very warm and the room was super comfortable with great bathroom products and small touches to make you feel right at home.
I travel quite a bit but was impressed with the staff. I especially want to thank Daniel who helped me with a late checkin. Never have I had such care taken of me by a staff member. He was marvelous.
Average hotel with good location. We were out right by the reception and while at dinner money was stolen out of our room’s safe. I had discussed paying for breakfast with the front desk attendant and he insisted on USD instead of pesos. I returned to my room and quickly grabbed the money and paid for the breakfast we had. When we returned later that evening it appeared that someone had “turned down” our room. Straightening the sheets and moving a blanket off the bed. A little sign from the hotel staff was placed on the corner of the bed. As we were checking out the next day we cleared out the safe to pack and found $40 USD missing. We notified the front desk and we were told there was a key to open the safe and they had cameras they would review to see if someone had snuck in and taken the key to then steal from our safe. It seems very clearly to be an inside job. We had to catch a bus early the next day and were staying in a location without wifi until now. Will be following up with the owners.
