We had a wonderful stay at Madre Tierra. The hotel is located a few blocks off the main road which made it very convenient for shopping and dining out. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were VERY friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Madre Tierra!

Lovely hotel with a fantastic breakfast! Just two blocks walking distance to town makes this a great place to explore the Calafate area. The staff are very warm and the room was super comfortable with great bathroom products and small touches to make you feel right at home.

I travel quite a bit but was impressed with the staff. I especially want to thank Daniel who helped me with a late checkin. Never have I had such care taken of me by a staff member. He was marvelous.

Robbed by the front desk
Average hotel with good location. We were out right by the reception and while at dinner money was stolen out of our room’s safe. I had discussed paying for breakfast with the front desk attendant and he insisted on USD instead of pesos. I returned to my room and quickly grabbed the money and paid for the breakfast we had. When we returned later that evening it appeared that someone had “turned down” our room. Straightening the sheets and moving a blanket off the bed. A little sign from the hotel staff was placed on the corner of the bed. As we were checking out the next day we cleared out the safe to pack and found $40 USD missing. We notified the front desk and we were told there was a key to open the safe and they had cameras they would review to see if someone had snuck in and taken the key to then steal from our safe. It seems very clearly to be an inside job. We had to catch a bus early the next day and were staying in a location without wifi until now. Will be following up with the owners.

Sure a place to stay in El Calafate
A very unique property, very nice staff with personal touch (rooms don't have numbers, they go by colors, and first names of the guests are written on the chalkboard on the door). There is a very cozy common sitting area with and even a yoga room. And by the way, breakfast is delicious.

Very charming boutique hotel a short walk from the Main Street. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included and every day was many fresh fruits, made to order eggs and meat and a delicious variety of fresh pastries. I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to my next visit! Thanks to everyone!

This simple property is exactly like in the pictures. Cute, somewhat quirky, and convenient to the Main Street of El Calafate with shopping and eating within a couple of blocks. The gentleman at the front desk was particularly helpful, the woman less so. Both were friendly though.
