We are a couple travelling for 8 months on a 10 month round-the-world trip. We have stayed in 40+ hostels and, so far, Lautaro could possibly be the best hostel in the World. We had such a fantastic stay at Lautaro that we felt we should tell the World about what a marvellous little gem this place is. Lautaro is... More

This has to be the closest to going home you can get. Belen speaks perfect English and is a mine of information about travel and local tourist advice. We loved the family atmosphere the comfortable feeling that this is your home and that you can make numerous amounts of tea and coffee DIY all provided in the lounge. Dario has... More

The hostel is just a 7-10 minute walk from the bus station and sits on a quiet street just 3 blocks from the center of town. It's a combo of two houses and we were in the second, just 10 steps from a door that leads to the main building and front desk. There's also a small yard out back... More

These are people I will never forget for all that's been said (warm rooms, hot water, full and delicious breakfast, absolute cleanliness, top service, cooking facilities, trip advisory, transport booking, even currency exchange and climate advisory). Plus we had the enormous pleasure to be invited for their Hostel's 3rd anniversary party with this splendid dinner, The best meal we had... More

Run by a couple (with young daughter running around) this was the most friendly, welcoming hostel / lodging we have stayed in. They were incredibly helpful arranging activities, full of sensible advice. We stayed in three rooms in a separate house (10 paces from reception), which were not great in terms of size, decor, or functionality - some dodgy gas... More

Heating works very well and wifi as well. Breakfast is delicious with coffee, the, bread, home made (?) jam and orange... More

Belem is a good soul, and you feel it, and fall in love with her, with the place, and the country. She helped us with washing the cloth, with the bus tickets, and ideas where to hike. Dario is an excellent cook, ask if he would cook dinner for you, and if he can, you would not regret it. More

My wife and I stayed here in December 2011 while on an extended 2 month honeymoon. In those 2 months, we stayed at many hostels, and Hospedaje Lautaro was easily our favorite one. Belen's and Dario's hospitality was amazing - upon hearing that we were on honeymoon, Belen got so excited and asked us when she could see wedding photos... More
