Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Generally well maintained public areas and garden, but several reviews mention bathroom odor and an overflowing/shower flooding the bathroom — some cleanliness/maintenance issues in rooms.
Service
8.5
Mostly praised: staff described as very friendly, attentive and helpful in many reviews; a few reports of inattentive or unpleasant reception staff lower the score slightly.
Location
9.6
Consistently highlighted as excellent — superb panoramic mountain views, very close to the town center (≈300 m) and nearby mirador/trails; location is a standout strength.
Room Quality
7
Rooms are basic/simple with good bedding for some, but multiple mentions of minimal equipment (no fridge, few outlets), lack of railing on stairs, and some rooms only accessible by stairs.
Amenities
7.3
Limited amenities: private parking and pleasant common areas noted, but lacks heating/AC in some rooms, no on-site restaurant/bar, and rooms miss small conveniences (fridge, glasses).
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed perceptions: some guests feel it is a good deal given location and view, others report poor value or ‘bad value for the region’ and compare it to a lower-star standard.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast opinions vary: several guests praise a varied, homemade breakfast and good attention (omelettes on request), while others find it minimal or poor — overall slightly above average.
Overall Experience
9.7
Many guests describe an unforgettable stay driven by the location, views and generally warm service; despite some room/amenity shortcomings the overall impression is very positive.

Purmamarca un pueblito de cuentos
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente. La habitación amplia y cómoda. Todo muy limpio.
El baño muy bonito, la ducha excelente.

Cons:

Estuvo todo muy bien. Tal cual lo contratado
Solo haría una crítica constructiva. Pondría una pava eléctrica en la abíatacion para calentar el agua del mate( de todos modos el anfitrión siempre muy amable nos la calentó.
Y si tuviera un frigobar para poner alguna bebida y tenerla fresca sería un 11.

Pros:

Nice room, yet I've been there for sleeping and luch only. Good parking, cozy place a little aside of Purmamarca center.

Cons:

Breakfast is questionable. Only buffet, no main dishes like omelette or something. Yet buffet is tasty.
