Kauri, United States of America

Great location right on the lake! The volunteers working were some of the most friendly I have met I was offered dinner after a 10.5 hour bus ride for free too! Defiantly stay here if you want to visit pucón and do tours as they have their own tour agency’s that will pick you up right at the hostel and have great equipment.

Steven, United States of America

The hostel is very cozy, many nice areas to sit, cook or chill. It's clean and right next to the lake and main street. I stayed in the Hobbit which is very cute and comfortable.

Dorien, Netherlands

Great location ! The staff were super nice and helpful. The kitchen was very clean and well organized.

Amazing staff - all really friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Great facilities - 3 kitchens, including an amazing one in a separate structure. Hot showers with foot rug and towels provided. Informative tour packages and recommendations.

It’s located right on the lake and has gorgeous views with easy access to town. There are multiple kitchens and bathrooms to accommodate all of the guests. They have equipment to rent. Staff is friendly.

Anonymous, United States of America

The staff at the hostel was very kind and helpful. The hostel offered a daily variety of activities in the region; we highly recommend attempting the hike to the summit of Villarrica (weather permitting) followed by a visit to the Termas Geometricas for a well deserved day of relaxation...

The price advertised is incorrect, after booking they send you an email with an updated price, that is not what is listed on booking.com with no easy option to cancel after. They were unwilling to meet the price I was quoted, saying they can't be responsible for constantly updating it, which should not be my problem. It was not the price that I had agreed to pay. Also, unlike every other hostel in Chile, I was not allowed to pay in US Dollars to avoid paying the 19% VAT. Which if you are not a resident of Chile you are NOT LEGALLY REQUIRED to pay this, as long as you show your immigration slip and passport and pay in US Dollars, look it up! they wouldn't let us do this simply because they stated that they don't want USD, which, again, is not my problem if it's accepted everywhere else in the country.
The location is good, multiple kitchens, comfy beds.

“Definitely not the best hostel in Chile!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Single Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights

I don't really get the hype about this hostel. The best hostel in South America? Seriously?! It's a typical party hostel full of people under 25 from all around the world. It has some charm and nice staff but it's definitely not the cleanest and the best equiped. The kitchen is really small so it's quite hard to cook anything with so many people. I was placed in a really noisy room, next to the entrance which was really annnoying with people coming in and out all the time. Bottom bathroom had no hot water under the shower. The hostel is really international (staff speaking fluent English) so if you want a real Chilean experience - it's not your place. They should just put an additional sentence in their description: Recommended for people under 25 yo.
Great location, next to the lake and close to the city center. Nice staff (volunteers).

“Great hostel for the young and gregarious”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in 4-Bed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights

The dormitory was very cramped for the number of people. I had upper bunk under sloping roof. Not much headroom and a struggle at my age to get in and out. Floor filled with luggage because lack of space. However, secure reasonable size lockers. This hostel is very much a young persons' place and the boisterous, slightly chaotic atmosphere will suit the socially minded very much. If you aspire to a roomier, more peaceful place look elsewhere. However, that said, after 2 nights I started to like it more and the volcano ascent was brilliant
Very pleasant helpful staff who give lots of information and organise trips. Excellent place to climb the volcano - daily ascents at a competitive rate with their own excellent guides and equipment provided. Convivial lounge area and excellent bar with great range of beers. Happy hour prices good value. Pleasant garden area. Secure on site car parking which was important to me. Bathrooms clean and reliable hot water. Two kitchens - one rather cramped but the garden one was much better and more spacious. Wi-Fi good. Nice lakefront location although the lake at this end is not that great. Good view of volcano though. Excellent location for town facilities.

very nice hostel, they have good facilities, several good equipped kitchens, good tours and the staff gives a lot of effort and is helpful. there‘s a good vibe and it’s easy to meet other people.

So far the best hostel i have stayed at. The friendly staff offers information about activities and useful places in town. It has a lovely courtyard with an extra, well equipped, kitchen and of course a beautiful location next to the lake. Finally, the very sociable atmosphere makes it easy to get to know other travellers while respecting the need of rest of others.

I initially intended to stay 2 nights in the hostel but extended my stay to more than 2 weeks. The staff is awesome, makes you feel as part of a big family as soon as you arrive. You can see how much effort the owner puts into the hostel. He wants you to get the most out of your time in Púcon by constantly trying to improve the hostel and the offered activities. Great crafted beer in the hostel's own bar for good prices (awesome, funny bartenders as well!!!). Rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, 3 kitchens to prevent long waiting times! Altogether it was probably the best hostel i've been to on my South America trip! Thanks for everything guys!!
