A beautiful hotel in a great location. Very friendly staff. The rooms were really beautiful and wonderfully decorated and the hotel restaurant food was delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderfully designed property and the rooms were beautiful. Just be aware though, not all premium rooms have a fireplace - the room we were originally given just had two standard radiators instead of a fire. When we complained, we were given a premium room with a fire and much nicer design (suspect it was actually a standard room we were originally given, but website does say some don't have fireplaces)

Hotel Desertica blends a prime location, a stellar team, and refined rooms. Communication via WhatsApp was prompt and invaluable. They recommended great tour agencies ahead of time and even saved me from a travel disaster. When I left my passport in my room safe, staff orchestrated a courier to drive it over an hour away to the Calama airport, getting it to me 30 mins after I arrived! It cost 90,000 CLP in cash—a bargain to save my trip. Truly heroic service. Situated right on Caracoles, the heart of the old town, it’s an easy stroll to restaurants and tour operators. It feels very secure and peaceful; a solid adobe wall blocks street noise, and a front gate closes at 10 PM (guests get keys). As I was in Room 1 near the front, I occasionally heard voices/suitcases, but earplugs easily fix that. The made-to-order breakfast is excellent, far better than a standard buffet. Rooms are unique, yurt-like spaces kept immaculate by twice-daily housekeeping, with plentiful filtered water provided. Constructive feedback for winter (June) travelers: Rooms have no A/C (just a fan); while fine for June, my winter timing didn't reveal if this becomes an issue in summer. The evening heat can be quirky: it was 16.8°C after a late tour and struggled to reach my set 21°C. Improving shower drainage/tiling and adding a hot tub for chilly winter nights would take this hotel from great to outstanding. Highly recommended!

Hotel Desertica is one of the nicest hotels my wife and I have ever stayed in. The location is 10/10, the staff are so friendly and the rooms are unique and luxury. My wife was ill for a day and the staff prepared off-menu chicken soup to make her better and provided local medicinal tea, which really helped. We had to change hotels due to availability but was so unimpressed by the alternative that we returned and spent the rest of our trip at Hotel Desertica. 5* all round!!
