Detailed Reviews
The single best hostel I have stayed at. Emma, the owner and host, is the sweetest lady. Hostel was very clean and private (we were here only guest and located in the heart of downtown. Emma was a great tour guide and gave us a list of things to do in Pucom. Would defiantly stay again!

The hostal is located a few minutes walk ffrom the main streets in Pucon. The hostal is kept spotless and the rooms are a decent size with comfortable beds. The staff make you feel very welcome and will try and answer any questions you may have.

This was a very comfortable and convenient place to stay. It was one block from the Main Street and several grocery stores. We stayed in the outside cabin with 3 bedroom and had the room with the orivate bath . There was a shared kitchen with all supplies and a shared common room. We used the kitchen as we found the restaurants exprnsive in Pucon . The hostal seemed to attract friendly and quiet guests. Convenient parking included.

DON‘T GO HERE! Unfortunately there is not much positive to say about this hotel. We got bed bugs from there, which is literally a NIGHTMARE!!! The last day we checked out we had to immediately leave the house. We weren’t even anymore allowed to prepare sandwiches for our 10h bus ride to Santiago. Ema the owner literally KICKED us OUT. She wasn‘t very happy if you asked for additional toilet paper or cooked in the kitchen which was quite dirty and unpleasant to use. It was also quite noisy but guess that’s in most hostels in Chile due to the thin walls. Also the shower had only either super cold or hot water and once it just stopped during showering which was really annoying. The rooms were spacious what I liked and beds comfy but there is no A/C and it gets super hot…so overall, better find something else than staying with this old grumpy lady

Home away from home. After staying at loads of busy hostels it was great to have a quiet night at a warm, friendly hostel/home. The lady met us at the tur bus bus stop about 1 block from the hostel which was unexpected. Excellent hot showers, cable tv with english channels, super comfortable bed. Fast Internet. Nice kitchen, free tea/coffee. 2 minutes walk into the main square. The lady let us stay in our room until 9pm without charging us an extra night as our bus left late that night.

I happily moved into one of the cabanas for a week with my beloved partner.
The owner and assistant agreed that we were renting out the entire cabana and that there would be no other guests. Two days into our three week stay, we came home and found a party of three in the cabana. We immediately spoke with the assistant to the owner who was confrontational and accusing us of lieing about our agreement, That she had the right to place others within the cabana. We went to go find the owner and she was out of town for a week we learnt.
It wasnt to the fault of the other party, so we were not going to be rude to them.
We confronted the assistant and she said she would not refund us the remainder of our rent to go to another hostel nor discount the space to us due to the others being there.
We had paid already in full for the entire space and had receipt to this as proof.
We left and found another , far more loveier hostel. We had recorded the second discussion with the assistant, to play for the owner if she arived back before we left town.
Days later we stopped over and played the tape for the owner who was visably uncomfortable.
She called the assistant to come. When the assistant arrived she accused us of having stolden things from the cabana and of having made a scene in regards to the other couple and threatened her physically. The others had left,so we could not have them as witness.
The assistant continued the story saying she had called the police to evict us.
We were completely floored by the lies, aggressivness, arrogance and dishonesty of the assistant. The owner said she did not know what to do. She had heard the recording we shared with her but also had had the assistant for a few years and trusted her. My partner asked how could the owner denie what was recorded upon the recording. Being in deneil she asked us to leave without giving us the refund we requested. We went to the police who were as helpful as a dead corpse.\So we tell our story here and ask people to not support this hostel!

This is more like a small hotel than a hostel since rooms have private bathroom and a TV! but in addition there is a well-equipped kitchen. The location is great for walking to restaurants. The owner, Emma is on the premises all day and available for any thing you need to know. If you are travelling in a group in addition to the rooms in the main building, there is the cabaña option (one double, 2 singles and a third room with bunk bed and single, your own kitchen and living room.)

We had a very good time at hostel Emalafquen. Valentina (the owner) came to pick us up at the bus station and made us feel very welcome. The hostel has great amenities and the beds are great! We couldn´t get up in the morning :-) Valentina was helpful and gave us tips about everything in Pucon. We recommend this hostel to everyone.

LOVED this place. My family of 5 had our own cabana with two bedrooms, and a full well equipped kitchen in the cabana. Emma, the owner, and Valentina, were both amazingly friendly and helpful. Valentina spent an evening with me and my family teaching us how to make Empanadas! The place was warmed by a wood burning stove, into which coal and wood were place nightly and every morning if we wanted. We picked peaches and apples from the trees behind the cabins. Would DEFINITELY stay here if ever back in Pucón.

Stayed two nights. They are more like furnished houses rather than hostels. The house has two rooms one with two beds and the other has three beds. Since this is low season we had the place all to ourselves. Good hot shower, comfortable beds, cooker, microwave, there is even tea and coffee. There is a tv, sofa, dining table and a wood-burning heater. The owner is a very nice lady who allowed us to use the facilities as we are taking a late bus out to Santiago. The only downside, wi-fi signal sometimes is weak out due to the location of the house located behind the owners house where the modem probably is. But overall excellent stay, and good value for money.

"We were in the little cabin in the back. Nice because it was just two rooms, but when there are 5 people in there, it's pretty cramped! Only one person in the kitchen at a time because of the layout. It was quieter in the back. The room with two beds got a lot of sunlight during the day so was quiet warm, but it cools down considerably at night."Read full review
