Backpackers Kawashkar Reviews

I read some comments before about the attitude of the owner, so I was slightly worried about that. He is a particular, sarcastic person, so make sure to clean up well after you use the kitchen and take sarcasm well. He is a really cool person, also I left my camera there and he saved it, waited for me to call looking for it, and sent it back to me. Honesty says a lot. The hostel is 7 blocks from the downtown area, but really comfy and nice! We did everything through the hoste I'd def come back!

I really liked this place. It had a nice kitchen, good people, and a feeling like i was at home. The lockers work to store stuff. The kitchen was clean, the beds were nice. I slept well. Showers are nice and hot but the bathroom is very cold after the shower. It is well worth the money. No problems for me. I would go back and stay again. Had a nice talk with Omar. He is a nice guys, and will help you with anything you need.

I went to this hostel because of its high rating and because I could rent equipment for Torres. The hostel is comfortable, with a good breakfast, plenty of bathrooms, working Wi-Fi, and storage lockers. However, like some other reviewers, I had a run-in with the owner that completely soured my experience. You can rent better equipment many other places, and find better value and comfort close by.

uWhat a great hostel. Omar is a great host and makei you feel very welcome. The beds are comfortable and warm, needed on those colds nights after a long trek. The breakfast is very nice with. Omar can advise you and organise all the trips for Torres Del Paine and also book bs tickets for you. I would definately stay here again if I return to Puerto Natales

Omar was very welcoming. The place was very homely. Beds were reasonable but laundry expensive in relation to Argentina at least. Breakfast was good.

Omar was very helpful, I enjoyed my stay a lot!

Enjoyed my stay here very much. Very comfortable beds with quilts. Good breakfast, good location. Omar was a great host, friendly & helpful. Loved Danca the dog! Would have returned for sure after my trek to Torres but unfortunately the hostel shut for a week for cleaning. Highly recommended! Thanks Omar!

We arrived in Puerto Natales without a solid plan of what we were going to do in Torres Del Paine and Omar helped us completely with our 3 days 2 nights route plan. They provided ALL the gear for our camping trip as we hadn't brought our own. So helpful.

The hostel was average, nice kitchen and common room but the "double" room was actually a twin. Omar expressed that he was aware that the room was a twin and advertised as a double, but said if you hover over where it says "double room" it says:2 beds. He was grumpy and bad humoured for the duration of our stay, with all the guests and told us to pay for a 2nd booking we made but cancelled with over 24hrs notice. Would not recommend this hostel: bad vibe. This is my 1st negative hostel review.

Great hostel to stay out, especially if you are looking for something chill and low-key. Comfortable beds, hot water and good breakfast. Owner was friendly and helpful with information on Torres del Paine. There are lockers where you can leave some of your stuff behind while doing the park or traveling around the area - bring your own lock.

Excellent hostel.best i stayed in Omar was funny and so helpful and he does the best breakfast.

Great hostel for staying before and after Torres Del Paine trip. Excellent facilities (showers, lockers, laundry, TV lounge, Internet, rental gear hire) and I really liked the kitchen. The six bed dorm room on the ground floor was great with really comfortable beds. The owner was very helpful and there as a good atmosphere.

Great place. Clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. Omar provided us with all the necessary info to plan our short trip to Patagonia. thanks for everything!

Extremely helpful and friendly staff - I would most definitely recommend to any backpacker heading for the Torres park

I liked that Omar always knew the name of every single guest in the hostel. And he was always interested in what everybody was doing and would give advice.

Great place to stay! Omar is a great host and will guide you with all of your Torres del Paine's needs. Definitely I will recommend this place!

Omar is fantastic, got a lot of time and information for everyone, even if you have no idea what it is you want to do. Great kitchen, great big breakfast. Private rooms were spacious, clean and bright. You can organise anything you need from the hostel, bus tickets, rentals, trips to Torres del Paine. Really good hot showers. Good place to meet other travelers and swap adventures and advice.

great place, great people.

Omar was an excellent hostel manager. He was very helpful and went out of his way to resolve our travel issues. It was also amazing that he could organise different options such as tours and bus seats so easily. He ran an excellent hostel.

There is only one person working a the hostel. Only the owner works during all day an he is a little stressed or busy if you need to ask something. The rest is acceptable, beds are very comfortable.
