Across reviews, MadreTierra Patagonia is described as a small, charming boutique stay with exceptionally friendly, hands-on hosts, very clean and comfortable rooms, a convenient but quiet location near the main street, and a well-liked breakfast.
Some guests found rooms small and noted missing features like air-conditioning or a minibar/TV, plus occasional shower temperature or hot-water issues. A few reviews reported payment handling frustrations, an overly pushy upsell, or a slow check-in. Overall, expect a cozy, walkable base with warm service and character.

This simple property is exactly like in the pictures. Cute, somewhat quirky, and convenient to the Main Street of El Calafate with shopping and eating within a couple of blocks. The gentleman at the front desk was particularly helpful, the woman less so. Both were friendly though.

A very unique property, very nice staff with personal touch (rooms don't have numbers, they go by colors, and first names of the guests are written on the chalkboard on the door). There is a very cozy common sitting area with and even a yoga room. And by the way, breakfast is delicious.

Staff was very nice. Rooms were clean, but basic. There were no amenities at the hotel. Basic breakfast was served. The best part of this hotel is an outstanding local guide — Mariano. We were beyond thrilled with Mariano and his expert knowledge of the area. An exceptional guide! Great personality and highly knowledgeable of the most important area attractions. Very experienced and goes out of his way to make every outdoor excursion the very best. Mariano is a true find!

This is a small eco-boutique hotel located just one block from the center of town. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The hotel serves breakfast but not lunch or dinner. This is not an issue since you are very close to Libertadores Av where you find great restaurants and shopping. There is also a great bakery across the hotel where you can get lunch for your hikes. The GM, Mariano, is also a mounting guide and gave us great tips on El Chalten and Perito Moreno.

I had a very comfortable stay at this inn, which was small, cozy, and comforting. The staff, particularly Matthias (spelling?) were very approachable and friendly. He listened to me babble nonsense after our two hour drive there from El Chalten by answering all my questions/demands in English, informed us that he was putting finishing touches on our room before we officially settled in (this was critical based on previous reviews), and prepared the free coffee/tea in the lobby for guests; he had a great attitude even after I spilled some on the tablerunner. Mariano, the GM, who we did not meet until breakfast the next day, unfortunately, which was excellent as other reviews say, will greet you if you arrive in the morning. We met another couple during our stay in the common area, who we dined with, which added to the intimacy of the place. The Argentinian hospitality at this inn will make you feel welcome to Patagonia whether it’s your first or last night there, and encourage you to leave your heart in this surreal place at the end of the world!

Such a little gem of a property in El Calafate with welcoming hosts. Location was perfect and right off the main street of Avenida Del Libertador. The hotel has a family feeling to it and the breakfast in the mornings was great. If it's an option, I suggest paying the extra money for it. I will definitely be visiting this property again. Thank You!

We loved our stay at Madre Tierra! Mariano, the owner is a hands on owner! Not only will he and his staff ensure you feel right at home and safe, he is also super knowledgeable about Calafate, and offers services to take you trekking, to the glaciers and many more adventures! Make sure to ask to reach out ahead of your stay to ask about these guided adventures. The hotel itself is also amazing! Very clean, spacious and the rooms are very comfortable. Make sure to book your stay with breakfast included, you won’t regret it! When we go back to Calafate we will make sure to stay at Madre Tierra.

Clean, comfortable, quiet hotel with friendly staff that provided a good breakfast and is within easy walking of downtown. My only complaint is minor: no way to refuse my room being entered, which was done more than once per day - my things were moved and my reusable water bottles thrown out. Need to add a sign to hand on the door to indicate not to disturb or clean. Otherwise, very sweet with nice touches. Busses had easy access to pick me up. There is an excellent cafeteria right across the street that also has sandwiches perfect for all day excursions.

MadreTierra is a very nice small boutique hotel, located conveniently close to many restaurants and stores in the centro (downtown) of El Calafate. We had an issue at checkin because we booked rooms that can each accommodate two adults and one child (as we had done at all other hotels for our trip, with absolutely no issues) but it turns out that only kids up to 2 years old are allowed to share a room with their parents. Our kids were old enough to sleep in a separate room and, thankfully, the hotel had one extra room available for the first night of our stay, but then we had to figure out how to split our family group between MadreTierra and a different hotel. This situation made things a little uncomfortable, so I would only recommend this place for couples (who don’t mind a very small room), not for families with kids. Other than the small size of the room, this is a very nice place. The staff and manager are very attentive and friendly, and the overall experience is very pleasant thanks to them!

Did not have hot coffee available at 7 am as we were leaving for our excursion. Pillows were so hard that I used my camping pillow instead of theirs.

Boa localização a 3 quadras da rua principal. Atendimento excelente, gentileza dos funcionarios. Cafe da manhã é cobrado a parte e é muito bom O quarto era espaçoso, cama confortável e roupa de cama e banho muito boas, porém o quarto não dispunha de frigobar e nem televisão, o que estranhamos. O banheiro é amplo, tem banheira de hidromassagem mas tem um vazamento e o banheiro fica bem molhado na hora do banho , independentemente de usarmos a banheira ou o chuveiro. O cofre do quarto não possui instruções e como resultado acabamos fechando nossos pertences e não conseguimos mais abrir. Fomos socorridos pelos funcionarios, mas não utilizamos mais o cofre.

I really wanted to give this 5 stars but I can’t. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are great and the staff friendly. The downside. Payment. Despite having a booking which was “pay at property”, my payment was taken before I arrived using the card I’d used to hold the booking. This wasn’t checked with me. As a consequence they added an extra 15% (as per the t&cs for card payments). If I’d agreed to this AT THE PROPERTY it would have been fine but to have the payment taken in advance without checking so an extra 15% is added, isn’t right. They also deny any wrongdoing on this. I’d have paid in cash at the property but their actions didnt give me this choice.

This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. It's a boutique hotel with five-star service. Rosa and Matías and the other staff are phenomenal. They made us feel like family. The breakfast buffet is a huge and delicious spread. There are cafes and restaurants close by, but the street is quiet. It's a few minutes walk from the beautiful Nimez nature reserve. Truly, we did not want to leave this gem of a hotel. Calafate is a wonderful base to explore this area of Patagonia. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Very clean small boutique hotel. Staff was amazing and very accommodating. Close to the main street and a good cafe right across the street.

This is a small eco-boutique hotel located just one block from the center of town. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The hotel serves breakfast but not lunch or dinner. This is not an issue since you are very close to Libertadores Av where you find great restaurants and shopping. There is also a great bakery across the hotel where you can get lunch for your hikes. The GM, Mariano, is also a mounting guide and gave us great tips on El Chalten and Perito Moreno.

Lovely hotel with a fantastic breakfast! Just two blocks walking distance to town makes this a great place to explore the Calafate area. The staff are very warm and the room was super comfortable with great bathroom products and small touches to make you feel right at home.

We had a wonderful stay at Madre Tierra. The hotel is located a few blocks off the main road which made it very convenient for shopping and dining out. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were VERY friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Madre Tierra!

This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. It's a boutique hotel with five-star service. Rosa and Matías and the other staff are phenomenal. They made us feel like family. The breakfast buffet is a huge and delicious spread. There are cafes and restaurants close by, but the street is quiet. It's a few minutes walk from the beautiful Nimez nature reserve. Truly, we did not want to leave this gem of a hotel. Calafate is a wonderful base to explore this area of Patagonia. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Staff was very nice. Rooms were clean, but basic. There were no amenities at the hotel. Basic breakfast was served. The best part of this hotel is an outstanding local guide — Mariano. We were beyond thrilled with Mariano and his expert knowledge of the area. An exceptional guide! Great personality and highly knowledgeable of the most important area attractions. Very experienced and goes out of his way to make every outdoor excursion the very best. Mariano is a true find!

Friendly front staff. Must either pay in cash or pre-purchase through Expedia or alternative website. Shower vacillated from extremely hot to extremely cold. Did not have hot coffee available at 7 am as we were leaving for our excursion. Pillows were so hard that I used my camping pillow instead of theirs.

Great boutique Hotel. It was charming, and the staff was lovely. Except that it didn’t have air-conditioning. Still give it a 5/5. Breakfast was great.

Very charming boutique hotel a short walk from the Main Street. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included and every day was many fresh fruits, made to order eggs and meat and a delicious variety of fresh pastries. I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to my next visit! Thanks to everyone!
