Hostel Raíz

Nothing

Nothing was good or impressive Room was too small, shared bathroom was not good.

Noisy with barking dogs, and loud cats. Room could get very hot if hot out, no windows opened and the open balcony door made no difference. Very few outlets in room and only 2 bathrooms for 20(?) people?

Beautiful place to stay, clean, helpful staff members. Only 1 bathroom for everyone. It was difficult at times.

I had to leave too early.

The hostel is in a great location, away from the noise of the centre which makes it quiet and relaxing. The beds have fresh, clean sheets and are very comfy and warm, with the option of opening windows as there's no AC (and some upstairs rooms have a lovely balcony). The rooms are quite big, with enough space to leave luggage and not trip on other people's stuff. They all have bedside tables and lockers for which you bring your own lock. It's close enough to walk to the main attractions in town - like 10min and there's a supermarket just 2min away and a fresh fruit and veg shop too. It's a tiny hostel with few rooms and beds and only two common bathrooms (one you have to go through another doorm) with a lovely common area to hang out, great space to eat outside or just chill in hammocks or in the luscious green space in the garden. The gate to the hostel is locked after 10pm for which you are given a key (you pay a 2000 Chilean peso deposit in cash). The space has a cute decor, simple and homey, which makes it warm and inviting, with plenty of light. The common spaces and bathrooms are cleaned daily and it's very tidy. They even have a hairdryer and a laundry service! There's a communal kitchen well equipped with everything you need to cook and store, as well as basic condiments and oil. The WiFi is working well and there's plenty of spaces to charge your phone. And the best of all are the amazing staff made up of friendly, hardworking and helpful volunteers (at the moment it's Camila and Lea) and the owner Dani who's really nice and cares about her guests pleasurable stay. Overall it's a great and affordable place where you can meet other solo travelers and backpackers from different cultures, as well as Chileans. I would definitely stay here again, but more so, I would love to volunteer here next time as I love the vibe and energy of the place!

Everything was fine! Especially cats :)

Had nice talkings, with Camilla, a very nice girl.

Very good

Lovely kitchen, near grocery stores, kind staff

My room had an amazing balcony view of Villarica volcano Can be quite noisy on windy nights. You can hear people talking from downstairs very clearly

Hostel Raiz is a fairy tale kind of hostel. I felt I was sleeping and living in one. Probably because of the cosy fire, their nice host and an incredible cat ? to remember. No doubts one of a kind.

Good comfy beds, a spacious kitchen, a great common area to relax and warm and friendly hosts. Gracias Daniella y Ivan!

Everyone was so friendly! Perfect location and sooooooo cozy inside. I visited in the fall and the fireplace was so nice to come back to to warm up and dry off rainy clothes.

It is a really nice hostel, with a great and friendly people. I felt like home

Close to the centre and supermarket. Cosy and fire during the night. N/A

Beautiful, quiet and safe area. Nice and cosy house. Everything is wooden which makes it even better. I loved the fire, so warming during the cold nights. Very welcoming staff, I felt good there since the first moment. Loved everything!

Very good location - next to bus station and big supermarket. The staff was very nice and helpful, good atmosphere, I felt safe and welcome. There is a kitchen with all necessary equipment. It was clean inside, the bed was a bit shaky, I was sleeping on the upper deck but quite comfortable to sleep. Not too much space in the room

Comfortable and clean

I really liked the facilities, the size of the rooms and the cat ?
