The staff were incredibly helpful at this hostel. Sebastian is great to help you arrange tours in San Pedro and gives great, honest advice! All of the tours we arranged through the hostel were great. Vincent is very personable and kind and was always helping us and wanting to make sure that we had a good stay!! The breakfast included in the stay was delicious I loved the pancakes! The hostel was so clean and the staff were always cleaning so thoroughly

“Enjoyed my stay and would stay again if in the area.”
The private bathroom attached to the 4 bunk dorm was a nice bonus. Bkfst was nice and they do a pack up for you if you let them know you are doing an early morning tour. Beds were comfortable and the room stayed and a nice temperature. It is an away from the central tourist area but it is only a short walk to it so it isn’t an issue. The reception staff are very knowledgeable about the numerous tours available, strongly suggest travellers use them, at least for advice on who to book with.

“Super cute oasis hostel in the desert town”
Close to the main shops/cafes/town square, super clean!! Really comfortable and cozy hostel, plenty of blankets for when it’s cold in the night, ample toilets and showers that are always kept in great condition. Really nice common area to chill out and a great breakfast spread!! Also shout out to Sebastian for helping me sort my Uyuni tour and a bunch of other questions I had about things in the area. Would def stay here again if i’m in San Pedro :)

“Thank you Sebastian and thank you all the staff from Mamatierra Hostal. I really enjoyed it.”
Sebastian is an awesome host. He is attentive to our needs and very sympathetic. The girls who work at the hostal making the breakfast and cleaning the place are very sweet, too. I really enjoyed it and would stay there on my next trip to San Pedro.

“A fantastic hostel with fabulous staff and a great breakfast”
Sebastian and his staff were wonderful, we initially couldn't get any WiFi but he resolved the problem reasonably quickly. The lovely breakfast lady always had a smile to welcome us each morning and the breakfast of fruit salad, eggs, pancakes etc was probably one of the best we've come across in two months of travel. And the cleanliness was second to none, everything was spotless. A fabulous hostel.

“All in all a grest place to stay, gracias!”
We thought the hostel’s location was great, just a few minutes walk from the bus station and the centre—without the noise. The hostel was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. There were extra blankets and a fan in the room. Most of all, we really appreciated being fed breakfast the morning we arrived on an overnight bus, and being sent off with lunch packets when we departed days later at 3am : )

“Great base for exploring”
Fab spot, great kitchen set up and common area which lend themselves towards meeting other travellers, and Sebastian was really helpful in setting up tours. Room was comfortable and clean.

“Good value and convenient location, but fairly basic overall”
The price is reasonable for San Pedro de Atacama, which is generally an expensive destination. The location is also convenient, as it is inside the town and about a 10-minute walk from the main street, so you can easily reach restaurants, agencies and shops without needing transport. The staff was friendly and the overall service was pleasant.

“Highly recommended, but bring cash for discounts!”
Very clean hostel with clear rules and helpful staff. The location is also excellent, less than 10 minutes walk from the main street of the city. The mini market right next door is convenient. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. The private room was small but perfect for a short stay. I highly recommend booking activities with them, as they work with the best agency in San Pedro. I was a little disappointed with the stargazing tour, but the Valle de la Luna and Piedras Rojas were both fantastic experiences with excellent guides! If your flight is in the evening, they allow you to store your belongings at reception for free and use the restrooms before departure.

Fantastic courtyard to relax in the hammocks whilst acclimatising. Great staff that help with booking tours, preparing snack breakfast bags for early starts, organising laundry and general advice. Very clean and quiet. Would definitely stay here again!

“Excellent hostel”
This hostel was a pleasure to stay at . The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Staff were super friendly and helpful . Our plane was delayed by 4 hours which meant we arrived very late but Sebastian was still waiting to check us in and explain how things worked at the hostel. Breakfast each morning was plentiful. The lovely ladies in the kitchen made you pancakes or eggs, fresh as you needed them. We booked tours through the reception and the company they used were excellent too . I would definitely recommend this hostel and if I ever pass through San Pedro again , it will be my first choice .

It felt outdated and the beds were not super comfy. It’s close to the bus station and that’s all I needed
