Todo excelente

Extraordinary hostel. The volunteers and owner keep the place really good and put a lot of effort. The house has a nice garden and a quincho for barbecue. Very comfortable living room for co-work or relaxing. The location is insane, right in front of the lake located on the beach. Many hiking options around the corner.

Just an awesome place with awesome people at a great location.

This cannot really be changed, but having a bathroom accessed from a tiny 4-bed dorm room is like sleeping directly in a bathroom. You don't know who you'll end up sharing the room with, and I had the back luck to have the most disrespectful, noisy neighbors who kept me awake most of the night and woke me up again in early morning. Also, the hostel seemed to be taken over by a generic, self-absorbed younger crowd so it wasn't well suited for solo-travelers. I've been in over 100s hostels and I know this is not typical hostel behavior.

Big house with a lot of space to spread out. The dorm rooms are new and clean, with shelves, curtains, electrical plugs, opening on a balcony. You can't beat the location, right on the beach, with a bus stop at the corner and a wonderful café.

The people who work at Idómoto make the place. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Perfect location and everything in the hostel is cosy and clean.

A bit out of the way of things if you don’t have a car, remis was at times very busy or not available.

Close to Cerro Catedral, delicious dinner and pretty good breakfast.

hostel was more like a house for several people than a hostel

Beds were clumsy, the slightest movement would make squeak noises. Not recommended for light sleepers.

Great atmosphere, really feels like a family.

Was a 40 min bus into the city center but the bus is so easy to use and figure out, so for me this wasn't an issue.

The place was so cozy! With an unbelievable view of the mountains and lake in front. I've never had as good of a breakfast in a hostel for free before-the previous reviews aren't lying! It was an amazing egg omelet, fresh jams with bread, and a yogurt parfait with fresh fruit and granola w/ freshly squeezed OJ and coffee/tea....... Was very easy to meet great people while solo traveling there.

The sheer number of volunteers made it seem like you were a guest in their house and it was at times difficult to find room to cook/hang out. Some volunteers were super nice and some... weren't. The vegan breakfast was nice but the volunteers/staff only remembered to make half the time which was a bit frustrating.

The location is very lovely, right next to a lake. Very relaxing place to spend a few nights. Big yard and nice dinners and activities (eg. yoga) organised by the staff/ volunteers. Privacy curtains on beds.

The ratio of guests to volunteers seemed unbalanced which created cliques in the social scene and more crowded in the social spaces than what it needed to be. I would recommend reducing the volunteer / friends of the owner number of people.

The property is great, the dorms are super clean and modern. I have a lot of love for this hostel. I had the best nights sleep here so far in my trip in Argentina. A big plus is that they have a kayak to use on site in the lake. This is well worth doing but you must go with someone for safety reasons. A yoga class, homemade vegan cakes, pizza oven pizzas (with an additional cost) are some of the activities which took place during my stay. They also cater for vegan breakfasts too. The lake beach is across the road (literally) and truly stunning. There are two dogs which come into the hostel and are super friendly. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay!

Bathroom was very dirty and tiny for 6 people. Please put some oil in the frame joint of the bathroom door - if somebody uses the toilet at night, the door makes a horrible loud noise. The sponge for cleaning the dishes saw better times before ;-)

Nice location directly at the Guiterrez lake, beautiful big garden around the hostel. Very nice staff and owner!

I should have arrived here earlier on!

People (hosts and guest) in this hostel are on another level. I checked in late with the kind and beautiful Pau and then went for dinner in Bariloche since the hostel is located quite far away from everything. Advice: You definitely need a car if you want to be as free as possible! Anyway, came back at 1am and people were just hanging in the kitchen, enjoying themselves, creating pearl necklaces under the scrutiny and supervision of Tuti “Fruti”. And finally the great Yago (read “Shaggu”), DJ, solo wine drinker and best mate maker so far in Argentina. You, young people, have been some great encounters. I was glad to spend some time surrounded by just great vibes.

Amazing location by the lake and the mountains. The rooms are nice and have good heating. The main building has a big kitchen and common area. Nice staff.

I had booked a room for myself but was given a bed in a 6-bed room, although I was not overcharged. The reason I book rooms for myself is because I can't sleep if people are snoring loudly in the same room, which is exactly what happened. The bathroom doors didn't have locks or keys to lock the doors, which I mentioned to one of the staff, but no action was taken.

It's a good hostel with a very friendly and helpful staff. Rama and the girls that volunteer at the hotel are wonderful. Breakfast is delicious. The hostel is located very near to the entrance to a hiking trail, very convenient. The common areas of the hostel are cozy to wind down after a long day out.

Indomito, where will I find place on earth like you? You were my home for almost 3 weeks and what a 3 weeks this were. On arrival at 10pm Gustavo welcomed me with most delicious Empanadas and cold beer, something that I needed after 24h on the bus from El Chalten. There was a lot of good vibe in the living room. About 10 people chilling on the sofas in one corner with a glass of wine, massive fireplace in the middle of the room and dining table in the other corner. This is more like a private house then hostel. Beautiful and clean. Great, big kitchen in the far end on this floor with all the facilities you would ever need. Later I check into my bedroom. 6 people dorm beds. Big, comfortable, with curtains for privacy. Clean bathroom in the corner. Next day morning I realise how big and beautiful is this place. Big garden in front so you can enjoy your coffee or mate on freshly cut grass, or do some yoga if you like. There is ping-pong table in the BBQ room, that sometimes becomes dining table for big parties. BBQ is the biggest I have ever seen. Ofcourse you can use the facilities at any time you want. I have met Ramiro on day number 2. He is a manager here in the hostel. Him and Gustavo are the most helpful people in Argentina, most generous too. After e weeks we became friends. To keep it short, if you are reading this just book this place. Trust me, you will not regret it. Instead you will extend your stay. Have fun
