A great place to get away from the city and experience the authentic life of Chile. The Owner has some great stories to tell you, and has great recommendations of what to do in the valley. You can enjoy the view with some great homemade breakfast (local products and homemade jam). I had a great time i was there for three nights..i wish i extended my stay there...

You feel at home! Amazing experience

I enjoyed my stay at Al Yaras very much!The hostel is in a beautiful location and the breakfast is great with a variety of homemade marmelades. For me it was very interesting to read the book the owner, Richard, has written and to hear stories of his experiences. Can really recommend this place!

Review

This hostel (which feels more like a B&B) reminded me so much of my family house where I grew up in Greece! It felt like home from the first day. Richard, the owner is such a welcoming and warm person, interesting, full of stories about his life (I loved having conversations with him!). The place is well cared, clean, with comfy beds and the most amazing breakfast ever!! This hostel is famous in the area for its breakfast! :-) Richard makes homemade jams, proper natural yogurt and bread! We were spoiled these days! We stayed with a friend for four nights and we had such a nice time!! 

It is somehow in the middle of nowhere, next to vineyards, but for this reason I loved it so much! There are buses running frequently and there is a bus stop just 5min walk from the hostel.
For people who want to be close to shops and restaurants close to the town in general.In walking distance, this is not the place. But for people who want to relax and explore the nature around is an amazing place! 
Valle de Elqui is a beautiful and indeed a mystical place! Richard I hope I manage to come back one day! Thanks a lot! Sofia

Relaxing stay in a beautiful area!

We (a group of 8) stayed there for just one night on our trip to Valle del Elqui but it was a really nice experience. The owner and everybody else is really nice and trying to make you feel like being at home. The selfmade yoghurt, bread and different kind of jam creations made our breakfast really great! On the day we checked out, we left our Things there as we did a hiking tour on one of the mountains nearby. When coming back (5 in the afternoon) from the tour we asked if we could use the bathroomonce more for a quick shower and it was no problem. It's a nice and clean hostel and we can definitely recommend it!

Really nice hostel! A little closer to home ;)

Not a great location for people without a car, but it has a great view and surroundings. There is nothing around the guest house-no restaurant or shop, a car is necessary if you stay there

The owner is Libanese, a friendly man and very good in english. 

A girl who work with him show us to our room upstairs, but she only speak spanish

The room need some renovations especially the floor. We had a spacious room, but there aren't much furniture except a chair, table and a closet, we had a fridge inside our room, but no television

Free wifi isn't work good

The bathroom is somewhat dirty, but it has a good shower with hot water

A huge communal terrace outside with picnic table, but seems  we're the only guest in this building we had the place ourselves. From here we have a nice view to the vineyard

The surrounding of the house is messy, if looking at it from the outside you don't know where to get in. This place needs an organized. Is a pity the house can be nice if this clean around it

Breakfast included, but I see the kitchen is so messy we leave without breakfast.

The price per night for a room is 47$ dollar no tax in Vicuna, is affordable price but they need more cleaning and renovating the rooms especially the floor.


Not a great location but has a great view

We called Hostal Al Yaras la Campaña to book a reservation. Pricing at Booking.com at Al Yaras was US$ 130 for two nights. The answer was extremely unfriendly.

Note that it was the days near the solar eclipse. The owner said that the price is US$ 520 and disconnected the line. Surprised and confused we called again. The owner started to insult us. There was totally no reason to do so. It’s a free enterprise and the owner can decide on pricing but insulting a guest is beyond reason.

Please avoid hostel Al Yaras la Campaña by any means. We stayed by numerous hotels and reviewed hundreds of hotels at Tripadvisor. The attitude of the owner of Al Yaras la Campaña is never seen of, a true chutzpah.
