What a pleasant surprise! A hidden treasure

The four of us loved this place. Tucked into a hillside with a beautiful pool and outside bar as well as many sitting areas under the trees to escape the hot summer sun. Our rooms were very nice and clean. The restaurant is very cute and eclectic and the food marvellous. Each of us got a different entree and all were delicious. We had just one night here, but we all agreed we could have stayed another night if we didn’t have a plane to catch. I would highly recommend you consider a stay here. It’s also just 3 miles from the town of Maipo which is a nice little place to have a cervesa.

I just loved every second of the weekend.I’m a Cajon Del Maipo lover, and I have been there a lot of times, but this weekend I tooked 2 friends for them 1st time camping and it was the perfect place for starting their tent life. Hot shower, amazing beers and homemade pizzas in Jauria, just 10 min walking from the camping area, guided trekking included with the great knowledge of Joaquin, the Guide, and the charisma of Coni, guide as well, make a cultural and natural perfect walk. The beauty of home made chocolate in Casa chocolate, 20 min walking, and the sunrise drinking mate next to the river it will be unforgettable Thanks for so much, I will be back for sure. I have missed Kombucha and the Hot Bath Jar, so see you soon.

Stunningly beautiful!!

Reviewed By Travelingislife2020

Absolutely a must see. The best place I stayed in Chile. Antonio, Marco, and Claudia were amazing. I was treated like family from the moment of my arrival. Enjoyed Chilean red wine on the deck area watching the sun set then passed the evening in the hot tub sipping champagne. Everything was immaculately clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I was able to gaze at stars that I have never been able to see anywhere in the world. If you visit Chile and don’t visit Antonio, you are leaving your trip incomplete!!

Unique, beautiful location. Hiking trails just behind the hostel and public bus is available just down the hill to go to San Jose Del Maipo and Banos Morales / hiking trail to the Glacier. Breakfast is delicious. Staff is very warm and goes out of their way to assist (but English is very limited/none for some).

Great little cabins

Staff was super friendly. Cabanas were super clean. Fire pit was great to sit out at night with some wine. King size bed was super friendly. Breakfast was included (but you had to cook your own eggs). I highly recommend this place.

Large airy cabins in a wallnut grove in San Jose de Maipo area

Reviewed By birgitta m

Loved the large airy cabins in this tranquil setting of wallnut trees. Our cabin easily accommodated our family of 5 as it had 1 dbl, 1 twin and a tiny single bedroom, a bathroom, an open kitchen/living area as well as a large deck with parilla (BBQ). Although we did not use it, there was a fire pit area in the garden too. We all loved the fact it was built around an 120 year old wallnut tree. No insects at night so could leave all windows open. It has a small pool area, a trampoline (dug in the ground), a cubby house so kids were happy. Down the street (2 min walk down the hill), there is a very simple but good restaurant with authentic dishes, also a few small kiosks with fresh bread and fruits, etc. 4 min walk is a great horse riding hacienda which gives amazing 3 hour horserides to a waterfall (so bring your bathers). Not for the faint hearted though! Owner and manager very friendly.

It is not worthy at all!!

Reviewed By Fernandagr91

The money you pay for one night is not worthy at all!! Don’t make the same mistake as us! In Booking.com website there are described some hotel amenities that doesn’t even exist (thermal pool, covered pool, japonese bathtub) and they charge for everything (sauna, hot bathtub), even that it’s not described as paid amenities. Their excuse was that they just bought the hotel and they are having some changes. So they are using the ratings of QAMIQO Hotel while they are SEL LODGE. In the breakfast, there is no coffee (only instant coffee), the juices are not natural and we ordered eggs and we were CHARGED for it. It’s important to say that when we ordered, no one told us it would be charged. In the night, around 12pm we wanted to go out to eat something and the gates were closed and there was no one in the front desk, we called a lot of times and no one answered. We spend half an hour to find someone to open for us. They don’t have minibar, so we needed to ask some ice to make our wine colder. The only thing that was fine is that the manager offered us the sauna and the hot bathtub for free (as described in the website) and gave us two drinks. But it has not change the impression of them being mercenaries, charging so much for one night and not offering the amenities for free. And just reinforcing what I said in the beginning, the price you pay is not worthy at al!! Not recommended.

A weekend to relax

Reviewed By AndresL1971

We stayed at Carlito´s last weekend because we needed to relax, so we called spontaneously and got the last room. I don´t want to get too much into how it is, because since our last stay almost everything stayed the same, with one exception, which made a huge difference: They changed the system regarding the meals, which, at least for us, was the best thing that they could have done! To explain myself, with the old system they managed everything in a strict BnB-modality; they offered a great breakfast, but lunch and dinner was up to you, which meant you had two options: Cooking yourself in the kitchenette they had for guests or leave and look for restaurants (which meant driving, waiting, making reservations, etc.) Now, they removed the kitchenette and are offering instead the possibility of a Menu for Lunch and/or Dinner. The price is pretty fair, the quality and the presentation is really good and it consists of entry, main plate, dessert, salads, beverages (soft drinks and wine) and, which is amazing, from my point of view, you can repeat yourself. So, for us, it´s an amazing change, because we don´t need to leave anymore to have lunch or dinner, which implies staying there the whole time, being able to really relax, and enjoy wine to the meals without having to be afraid because in Chile there´s a zero tolerance policy regarding alcohol and driving. If we previously recommended it with the “but” of needing to cook or go outside, now we recommend it without any restrictions at all.
