Nice place overall

Got charged the blue dollar rate without notice despite me asking what rate will be used.

Agustin, the reception host was amazing! We had a great time talking with him, he was very patient and kind <3 overall staff friendliness was amazing. The place had a wonderful rustic vibe but was very clean and nice, decor was cool. The location wasn't bad, it is just a 20min walk to the main town area (which is pretty nice after a full belly) beautiful view from the lodge also.

Honestly was just the bed. My partner has a bad back so wasn't the greatest. My super power is sleeping so was all good.

Our stay was simply excellent! The lodge was super nice, beautifully decorated and very comfortable and clean. The view from the guest area was spectacular. The best part was the staff- knowledgeable, very friendly, seeming to truly enjoy being there and smiling all the time. They helped us to pick and organized for us the tour to the glacier, which we enjoyed a lot. Thank you, Blue Lodge! You’re doing it right 👍

It’s a bit distant from the downtown but for us it was not a problem- a nice 15 minutes walk

Beautiful property with views over El Calafate. Comfortable and stylish rooms. Good breakfast each morning. Nice staff.

They charged us in the ‘MEP’ rate, which we didn’t think was allowed. For context, there are like 8 different exchange rates in Argentina. The official rate, which you get if you get your money out of the ATM is around 400 pesos for £1, and Bla Lodge charged at a rate that was 800 pesos for £1. So if you had taken your money out the ATM and then paid this rate then you would have paid double!!

Super friendly reception on arrival - great atmosphere and a wow factor x 500 view of the lake and mountains for you to enjoy over a lovely breakfast - Max could not have been more accomodating and ready to pleasantly make simple any small complications in my travel plan - change of date via BDC - late check out before 30 hour bus to Bariloche - he messaged me the door code and left room key when i unexpectedly was out late with friends and Martin his colleague was equally helpful when i messed up the booking - just a great attitude understanding backpacking needs and honestly the eggs and breakfast were far superior than the five star Wyndham Splendor where i had also stayed Even the kitchen / room cleanibg lady was a sweetheart with a great attitude to her greatky appreciated hard work - bravo !!.A cheap taxi to bus terminal or town this treasure has personality , laughter and with the stresses of travel calmy and pleasantly understood you cannot fault and only applaud the team , the venue and the location . Best of the three hotels I stayed in during my week stay in Calafete

My first room was delightful but needs soundproofing .I was rapidly given a totatally silent room when I raised this . Get the builders in !

The staff - in particular, a great welcome, info and warmth from Max who is just lovely and very efficient. The price - value for money for El Calafate. Location - it's a straightforward fifteen minute walk to the El Calafate hub and the payoff is great lake and mountain views you might not get staying right in the centre. Huge sunsets. We got a cheap taxi ride from the bus station but could have walked. Lots of space around if arriving by car. Breakfast - fresh fruit, eggs, good coffee, toast etc .. all served in the spacious common area, which has great views and comfy seating. Luggage storage. We had a flight and they were relaxed about us sitting around for a bit/leaving our bags after the 10am checkout. Hot showers, great WiFi and heating. Kettle, tea, coffee in the room.

The synthetic bedding didn't do it for me and we also had a mechanical issue with the loo (which was quickly fixed) but these were minor issues for us. We would go back to this hotel.

It's a perfect experience! First of all, the staff of the hotel (especially) Julio really helps with bus shuttle, with excursions to Puerto Moreno, and the most important part is that almost all speak English. The room and the hotel itself are very clean and beautiful, real country style. I am not talking about the view from the window! So I will recommend this hotel to my friends.

The staff was lovely and spoke excellent English (just mentioning it as a highlight as it’s not as common in Patagonia). Great location in El Calafate if you have a car. Really great value for what you pay. Great sized rooms, comfortable beds, plenty of space and hot shower and bath!

The breakfast could have been a bit better.

Really nice and cute hotel/lodge. We were greated and welcomed extremely friendly and could ask for help anytime. Cozy living room overlooking El Calafate

It is not located in the city centre, min. 20 walk. We didn’t mind walking, but you should consider this if you’re only staying 1-2 nights

The staff was super helpful and very attentive to our requests. Especially Julio, that with great humor and knowledge of the city made our stay an unforgettable one.

There was an engine running every now and then that was slightly disturbing (more during the night).
