Lock in a great price for Hostal Doña Ema – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Played back natural setting within walking distance to plaza, restaurants, etc., Wonderful family owned & built hostel

Katamaranken, United States of America

Lugar tranquilo y limpio. Tiene cocina compartida. Cerca de la plaza de armas. Quiet and clean place. It has a shared kitchen. Near main square.

Carol, Chile

Room was nice, clean, and spacious. The hosts were fantastic and friendly.

Christopher, United States of America

Luis was a friendly host, who likes to make his guests as comfortable as possible. We had bronchitis and were coughing a lot, and he brewed us 'tea' from the bark of chañar, an old local remedy, very bitter. The heat of Pisco, 10 degrees warmer than La Serena, on the coast, did us good, too. When a bigger room became available, he offered us that room. This is a place for people who like camping: the surroundings of Pisco reminded me of Afghanistan (1974), the yard of 'Doña Ema' of Bali in those days, with a rooster in the background. We recovered in the hammock, reading a book and drinking chañar-tea. There is a kitchen for common use, but not much equipment to work with. The place is very safe, bus stops at the house.

Hendrik, Australia

Beautiful old house with lovely rooms and great bathroom. Luis was a wonderful and helpful host.

Peter, Australia

Luis and his family were very friendly offering advice on hiking trails. The Plaza is a short walk away. Great kitchen

Nathan, New Zealand

Had an amazing stay at Dona Ema. The staff was very helpful. You also get some hammocks outside in the garden just under all these fruit trees. There is no breakfast but they gave us so many fruits (out of there garden) that we nearly could not eat all of them. If you go to pisco Elqui, you should stay here :)

Tobias, Germany

Luis and his family are really nice. The region is wonderful. The house built in hood is clean and well equipped.

Christine, France

Very relaxed place, very quiet. And the people are superfriendly. Wifi is excellent. Nice kitchen to make your own breakfast or dinner.

When we were alone in the hostel everything was fine. As soon as other visitors arrived the wifi didn't work and we had no hot water for 2 days :( this made our stay less enjoyable not being able to shower.
Luis and his family were very friendly offering advice on hiking trails. The Plaza is a short walk away. Great kitchen
