Super lieu pour visiter quelques jours, le désert de Tatacoa
Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter les deux déserts et la formule demi-pension et l’option de l’eau des vélos est idéal

Pros:

We had an amazing stay at this Tatacoa Desert accommodation! The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was beautiful and authentic, perfectly capturing the charm of the desert. The food was excellent, and the location was ideal—right in the middle of both the grey and red parts of the desert. Everything was just perfect, and we highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Truly an unforgettable experience!

Pros:

Wonderful accomodation very close to the main attractions in the desert (walking distance from the red desert and planetarium). Great place to relax for a while after a day in the desert, with many hammocks and rocking chairs. Very nice hosts! The food was good and the room was much more comfortabele than we expected, also not too hot at night. Definitely recommend staying in the desert vs Villavieja :)

Cons:

Replace the paper cups for real cups :)

Pros:

La casa de campo Los Cactus est située dans le désert, à proximité des déserts rouges et gris. Elle est également tout près de l'observatoire.
La plupart est fait en matériel de récup, il n'y a pas d'air co, pas de piscine, le logement s'inscrit ainsi dans une logique écologique. C'est calme, on entend la nature, on y mange bien et on est bien accueillis.

Cons:

La nourriture est très bonne mais peu variée, si vous restez quelques jours, vous aurez peut-être envie d'aller dîner dans les environs...
Autre bémol : que du cash pour régler le logement, guide, transports, repas... Ça fait beaucoup de cash.

El espacio es muy agradable, se está fresco con tanto calor del desierto. La cama es cómoda, las hamacas también, ducha bien, cabaña acogedora.
El personal fue amable, buen equilibrio entre ofrecer su producto y dejar espacio, ofrecen transporte, tours, bicis, comidas, bebidas. Cocinan rico.

Los precios de almuerzo y bebidas no están mal pero son más altos que fuera del desierto.

Great and perfect stay!
Pros:

Our stay was exceptional. We enjoyed the quiet location and the experience of sleeping in the desert. The location was close to the two deserts and the observatorium. The owner was very helpful and kind. Food was always freshly made and delicious. We could feel the love and passion of the owners and felt home.

Cons:

Nothing

Enjoy the desert from here
Pros:

Great location, good for visiting the red and grey deserts. Friendly staff, good food, and plentiful good coffee. The hammocks were great for resting to escape the midday heat. It's best to start the day early before it gets too hot. The hosts were good at organizing transport and horse rides in the desert. Look out for the birds and the local iguana!

Cons:

This place is popular with local tourists, so try to come during the week rather than at a weekend if you want to experience the peace and quiet of the Tatacoa Desert.

Pros:

L’accoglienza è stata buona, disponibilità e suggerimenti pure apprezzati. L’idea di avere delle lodge nel deserto buona, a mio avviso andrebbe rivista la struttura esterna, invece di usare delle bottiglie della Coca-Cola colorate di bianco come pareti, magari delle assi e poi tende sarebbe più carino.

Excellent rapport qualité-prix
Pros:

Très bon emplacement central entre les deux déserts (gris et rouge), idéal pour ceux qui souhaitent les visiter à pied. Les espaces extérieurs de l'hostal sont reposants (notamment une profusion de hamacs).
Bon petit déjeuner sur place pour 12k par personne.
Vente également de boissons sur place, utile en plein désert.
Pour l'emplacement, excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Cons:

Pas de dîner servi le jour de notre présence bien que cela ait été précisé à notre arrivée et dans le message reçu avant. Mais à décharge, nous ne l'avions pas réservé à l'avance. Pensez donc à commander à l'avance où à prévoir un pique-nique.
Nous avons eu une chambre avec SDB avec une douche sans porte ni rideau, ce qui n'était pas pratique pour se doucher sans mouiller serviette et vêtements.
Ce sont des axes d'amélioration, mais cela n'enlève en rien l'excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Oasi di paradino nel deserto
Pros:

Tutto! La famiglia è stupenda, disponibile per qualunque cosa, il cibo è ottimo, la stanza è accogliente e pulita, gli spazi esterni sono enormi e ben arredati.
La casa si trova a meta strada tra il deserto rosso e il deserto grigio e a 5 min a piedi dall’osservatorio.
Un posto stupendo!
