"We traveled as a family of four with two young children. The acommodation was fine, had all amenities and nice shower. The hammocks were really good for the kids. Location really good. The only drawback was that the service wasnt particularly friendly. We also didnt realise until after booking that they will add and extra 19% tax on top of the advertised fee so please be aware of this."

Top Calama Hotel Reviews

Diego de Almagro San Pedro de Atacama

Diego de Almagro San Pedro de Atacama

8/10 Good
"Staff very helpful and friendly, although no English. Happy to converse using translation tools. Swimming pool was closed due to it being winter, which I didn’t reslise when I booked. A couple of times there was no water, no electricity and no wifi, but staff worked to resolve the issue. Breakfast was very good and there was free tea, coffee and iced drinking water available all day. I didn’t have supper at the hotel but did have some drinks at the bar by the open fire which was welcoming and warm."
