My favourite place for dining in Castro… This is a lovely place for a meal.

Tourists photograph the old rickety houses on stilts as they cross the bay on Chiloe Island. Look again.

I had such a nice stay here, Marcus and his wife Fran were incredible hosts with wonderful recommendations for hiking, sight seeing, iglesias, restaurants, and more.

I had an incredible stay at the Refugio Ballena Hostel. Marco and Fran are a lovely duo, full of energy and smiles, who are eager to share both their home and island.

This is a really comfortable place to stay at a really reasonable price. Millah does a nice job of mixing up what she serves for breakfast.

Staying at Allegra's B&B was a very positive experience overall; the room was very big and with a comfortable bed, including a bed heather device and a good mixed breakfast (you are asked every day

Definitely a recommendation! Best host so far after 7 weeks of traveling, really cares about guests and good vibes in the hostel.

I recently spent a few days at Hostal Torre de Babel, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The location is perfect, offering easy access to everything you need.

Very charming boutique hotel on the famous Pedro Montt street. This real Palafito has been wonderfully restored and the rooms with sea view are astonishing. Staff is polite and friendly.

This place is a lot of fun.

Quiet atmosphere, very nice and very attentive staff.

Excellent service, comfortable. Very good food and great rooms.

The service and willingness to address any request I had during my stay were remarkable. The restaurant has very good cuisine.

Very good service, all very rich, 100% recommended.

Overall, we really liked the palafitos themselves but the location is bad. Lots of loud noise with constant cars and trucks driving by, dogs barking and community parties,
We barely slept at night.

This place is amazing, feels like an enchanted place on the sunrise. Overall you may love it. Take in account that not all rooms have the best view.

Naddia and Henri were wonderful hosts and could not do enough to welcome and help me. Their house is quaint and beautifully decorated throughout, a place of peace and friendship in Chiloe.

Definitely the best place we have ever stayed at! Emilio y Ester's Palafito is a unique and beautiful, charming, clean and cozy place.

Hotel de Castro is an iconic building — very 60s modernist, very Chilote in its own way. Rooms in th new wing are genuinely great: Big windows, lots of light, and a full, cinematic view of the bay.

We felt welcome from the moment we stepped into the hotel. This is the kind of place where everything just works perfectly.

Nice no frills hostel. No dorms, just private rooms with shared bath. Free breakfast.

Everything, good location, tranquility, attention, those breakfasts, for the atmosphere, casa Chilhue a place to go.

Very comfortable rooms, clean and well-equipped kitchen and a cool little common area.

Great choice for Castro. Delightful and helpful staff, with fluent English spoken. Thank you for your help with what to do during my stay in Chiloe. The other main highlight was of course the cat!

I spent four nights at this Hostal in April of this year-2025-and was very impressed… The location was perfect-a short walk to the main square Plaza de Armas… Sleep quality was excellent and my room

Quite good but filled with couples and an older crowd. Hostel is in the name but this is more sort of bed and breakfast vibes.

Staying at the Palafito hostel was an excellent introduction to the Chiloe Islands. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great with fresh bread every morning of our stay.

I stayed with my family, we had a great hospitality experience at the palafito. Comfortable rooms, beds, pillows. Room with an amazing view, always warm and cosy.

Everything, all very cozy and beautiful.

Spectacular! Every detail perfect and steps from the center of Castro! Very good service and incredible experience of sleeping on a stilt house!

The entire apartment is beautiful, clean, super cozy, with beautiful views of the bay! The super complete and abundant breakfast was left ready the previous afternoon.

The views and spa are the key amenities: three outdoor wooden hot tubs +5 indoor Jacuzzi pools plus a small gym with free weights and a weight machine;
And a pretty good above average continental

The rooms have fantastic water views. The hotel is a bit of a walk to town.
