My husband and I came here on a bucket list trip to Patagonia. Our experience staying here at Los Ponchos was incredible and the Staff was amazing. Our most favorite people were Carolina & Maggie the hostess who greeted us and were so welcoming. Would highly recommend staying here and their food wow! Breakfast and dinner selections were delicious and so very artfully put together with the eclectic dinner ware made it ever so special and intimate. Our room had a beautiful view of the Argentina Lake and at night the stars were breathtaking. We’re hoping to come back and visit Calafate again!

“Amazing Boutique Hotel Experience”

Los Ponchos was a truly memorable experience. The service impeccable and the food devine. We couldn’t have picked a nicer place to stay in El Calafate.

From the moment we arrived, this hotel truly stood out for its incredible staff and welcoming atmosphere. Every team member we encountered was genuinely kind, attentive, and eager to help, which made the entire stay feel personal and special rather than routine. The warmth of the service was matched by the freshness of the space itself. Everything—from the rooms to the common areas—felt clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully prepared. There was a sense of care in the details that made it easy to relax and feel at home. What impressed us most was how effortlessly the staff created such a positive environment. Their friendliness wasn’t forced—it felt natural and sincere, and it made a lasting impression. Overall, this was more than just a comfortable stay—it was a refreshing and uplifting experience. I would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for both excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere.

I have a tough time writing this review because some parts of the hotel I would rate much better than other parts of our stay. Los Ponchos is a lovely tiny boutique hotel located a ways outside of El Calafate so you will need a car to get back and forth or be prepared for a 25 minute walk. We thought the location was nice and we thought the hotel looked very quaint. They did a nice job with decorations to tie it to the region which we enjoyed. The rooms were only okay with very short ceilings and a tiny shower and you could also hear a lot because the walls are pretty thin and the hallway is right outside of your room and there is a window from the hallway to your room and while closed it allows sounds to travel. We also had an issue with the staff not respecting our do not disturb signs and they use old fashioned keys so when you give them the key they go in even if you leave the sign on. They kept moving our stuff around - we had a few items hanging that they put in the back of the closet and they kept moving other stuff around. It was almost as if they went through all of our belongings every night when we were out and decided where they should be. I think they were unhappy because they had patagonia books open to certain pages and we closed them and set them aside so they moved our stuff and reopened them. It felt like they are checking to make sure that you have followed their rules (no luggage on the shelves, etc.). The nightly rate was expensive and it is billed before you arrive from an address in the united states so I think it might be owned by someone in the US? For the cost, over $500 a night the made to order breakfast wasn't enough of a value add for the fact that the rooms were not that great. I liked the decorations and quaintness of the hotel but I would not go back probably due to the cost for the size/issues with the room. It also isn't that convenient to town.
