Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The breakfast was very poor. The owner gave us one egg per person per night and some bread and cheese for self service. After 2 nights when it was over she was fighting back with a bad attitude, unacceptable if you are paying almost 200usd a might. The owner had the same attitude towards everything, the first night there was no internet, instead of trying to solve it the owner was questioning why we would need internet anyway.

The breakfast is self service, and all the necessary food was left for a good breakfast! Included jam, marmalade, juice, eggs, milk and bread butter! I talk them if they needed anything, they could ask, which they did, and I gave what they needed,each time they asked! Food was left for 4 days! even more they ask me for an iron,which I gladly lent them, from their review, I can tell they are not grateful and by using language as fighting which is totally untrue! They are just making up a situation! Every person that has stayed at our premises have been happy and grateful of our attention and help! From the beginning they were not happy! About the wi fi , in the desert we do not have good signalling and I talk him that! I am sorry he did not appreciated what was giving to him! Because when he ask for more I gave them more! Eggs, jam etc... I find of very bad taste to say how much he paid! They were three people in the bungalow and that is the price for it, From my point of view I gave them a very good continental breakfast.

Unique place
Great and unique place. No real complaints other than that the bigger bed on our bungalow had a very hard mattress. Rock hard. I guess that’s a matter of personal preference but my back is still feeling it. Other than that great place and great host.

Lovely place
It’s pretty, the woman who attends the property is excellent. Wifi in the unit is dodgy as is the case in almost all of Chile ( travelled three weeks in Chile and phone services and wifi are worst in South America) so you have to go outside near the property managers home to get any kind of phone signal. Roads are rough to get to the property. Very nice friendly dogs.

Excellent Location
These bungalows are far enough from San Pedro to avoid the dust, noise and congestion. One should have your own transportation if staying here. Whether it be bike or car. I'm not a big fan of lodging that has dogs. I do not care to lounge with them. There also was barking at night from neighbors dogs. I get that at home, not wanted on vacation. Although this is not the proprietor's fault, it is for the renter's information that I write this. Maybe you won't mind the dogs.

Rancho Q
After the initial disconfort upon our arrival when we discovered that our reservation was cancelled, the experience was pleasant. We had to call hotels.com to understend what happened. After 20 min on the long distance phone, apparently the reservation was still on, however the Rancho did not have it in the system. We had to book the room with the understending the the hotels.com will refund our money. This is left to be seen. The Rancho is half an hour walking from the town and it looks like a small resort. The services are good overall.

Charming place and quiet but need to be motorized
The "cabanas" are correct but breakfast is awful (nescafe, dry bread). The place is full of charme and close enough to downtown San Pedro to not feel isolated (around 30 minutes by walk). The staff is helpful. We were allowed to use the washing machine.

Quiet and peaceful
We stayed in a double room with private bathroom which is attached to the main residence. There are also freestanding cabins with kitchenette available. Our room was clean and tidy and had nice hot solar-powered showers. Jorge is a very welcoming and helpful host who also does guided tours around the area. The location is in the desert about 10 minutes drive from San Pedro. Ideally you would have a car; we got around with taxis (4,000 one way) and Jorge drove us (3,000 one way). The area is very quiet and safe and is a great spot for star gazing at night. Jorge let us prepare our breakfast in one of the cabins. These are really well equipped and are great for a small family. There is no wifi Internet but Jorge let us use his computer. He is currently setting up a computer for guests to use. We would love to come back to explore the area in more detail and we will stay here next time.

Excelente estadía en el Rancho. Jorge y Teresa fueron muy amables y nos dieron todos los tips antes y durante el viaje. La cabaña es hermosa! Limpieza impecable. Todas las comodidades y a pocos minutos de San Pedro y de las principales atracciones de la Región.

A small paradies
We were 3 nights in the bungalow and it was amazing. It is really a paradies. It it 5 km away from the city San Pedro but in the bungalow you have everything what you need to prepare your own Dinner or Barbeque. The beds were fantastic and we slept like in heaven. The owner family is very kind and helps you what ever you want. It is clean and so peaceful.. With one word: it is wonderful

RANCHO QUITAPENAS DE VERDAD QUITA LAS PENAS
Un lugar acorde con el paisaje. Sin excesos, pero con todo lo necesario para ser feliz. Las cabañas son muy cómodas, muy lindas y, como son sólo dos, uno tiene la sensación de estar en su propia casa. El área de la parrilla y de la galería es preciosa.

Tanto Dios en naturaleza a quienes no saben honrar
Bien con las bellezas naturales. Horrible con los servicios de cualquier tipo en San Pedro de Atacama. Además todo desproporcionalmente caro. Si quieres relación calidad de servicios, infraestructura y naturaleza similar con precios el destino es, por muy lejos, el noroeste argentino.

Pousada apenas para viajantes descolados
Na chegada fiquei apavorada, o local me causou má impressão, é uma casinha no meio de areia e mato,parece um local abandonado. Não tem estrutura de hotel, achei que seria terrível.Depois vimos os pontos positivos, que são tranquilidade, silêncio e espaço. Precisamos comprar itens para o café da manhã, porque o que ela põe a cada 3 ou 4 dias é insuficiente. Não quis reclamar, preferimos comprar, o vilarejo é muito simples mas dispõe de vários mercadinhos e tínhamos a liberdade de tomar café a qualquer hora. Não há serviço de limpeza mas não me importei de manter a arrumação. Lavei o banheiro com shampoo, mas tudo bem !Fizemos amizade com alguns taxistas e nos comunicávamos bem,íamos almoçar ou jantar em San Pedro.. A dona do rancho indicou uma agência de turismo que foi bem legal, fechamos todos os passeios com eles.

Tolles kleines Hotel, sehr netter Service
Das Hotel ist ein Stück aus der Stadt aber dafür sehr ruhig. Mann erhält ein tolles kleines Haus mit allen notwendigen Einrichtungen. Der Besitzer (Jorge) ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Und in die Stadt kann man mit dem eigenen Auto oder mit dem Taxi. Es gibt auch eine Grillstelle die gemeinschaftlich benutzt wird. Es hat uns sehr gefallen und wir würden immer wieder dort hinn fahren.

O local é bom, porém simples. No entanto, por se tratar de uma cidade muito cara, esse rancho passa a ser um ótima opção.

Außerhalb gelegen, ruhig, mit familiärer Anbindung
Das (kleine) Zimmer im hellhörigen (Haupt)Haus der Eigentümer ist nett eingerichtet, aber ohne große Ablageflächen - für 2 Personen mit Gepäck nicht zu empfehlen. Da die Rancho 5 km außerhalb des Ortes liegt ohne fußläufig erreichbare Restaurants, muss die Küche der Eigentümer mitbenutzt werden, um sich morgens Frühstück zu machen bzw. Getränke zu kühlen. Der Weg vom Zimmer in die Küche führt durch das Wohnzimmer - also alles in allem keine idealen Bedingungen, auch wenn die Eigentümer extrem aufgeschlossen, freundlich und hilfsbereit sind. Die Appartments dürften mehr Privacy bieten.

Un petit coin de paradis aux portes de San Pedro !
Parfait pour profiter du calme du désert, avec l'accueil chaleureux et les conseils avisés de Jorge pour vous aider dans l'organisation de vos visites. Chambres avec beaucoup de charme, propres et joliment meublées. Petit-déjeuner possible en supplément. Pas de connexion WiFi lors de notre passage, mais il semblerait que ça pourrait arriver sous peu ! Espace commun avec hamac, fauteuils de jardin et barbecue. Le seul inconvénient (mais qui est aussi un avantage !) est qu'il faut prendre la voiture pour aller au centre du village (5 min env.). Bref, nous avons été ravis et si vous recherchez un endroit calme, agréable et chaleureux pour vous reposer des longues et superbes excursions de l'Atacama... vous avez trouvé !
