The rooms smell divine because of the essential oils they use. The bed is very comfortable and we were so happy with the heating in the room since it was freezing cold during the night. The owner was very kind, informed us of all the activities we could do in the surrounding area. Breakfast was great, with diverse local products, everything fresh. The outdoor kitchen was also fantastic, we could cook our dinner in the evening there. All in all, we had a super pleasant stay and can recommend this hotel to anyone.

Really friendly and helpful owner who was very knowledgeable about the local area. Beautiful star viewing platform for the nights. Lovely communal areas in the property and the staff were great. Delicious breakfast - you will not go hungry! And from the breakfast area you can see hummingbirds flitting around the plants.

We only stayed for one night, but it was a wonderful experience. The facilities were great, the breakfast was fabulous, and the team was incredibly welcoming. They gave really good advice on what to do in the area, which made my short stay even more enjoyable. Everything just felt right—warm, easy, and comfortable. Would definitely return!

A bohemian paradise in the magical Elqui Valley. So much love and kindness put into creating the secret garden of UMA. So many places to relax and soak up the surrounding nature. Highly recommend this beautiful little hotel.

One of the neighbour roosters has a different definition of morning to us.

The hotel is clean and nicely finished. The beds are very comfortable. Alejandro is a very attentive and gracious host.

Be aware that the hotel is two steep blocks away from the main square. Without a car getting up and down gets old quite soon.

We stayed two nights in July 2024 at Uma at a private cabin. We enjoyed our stay quite a lot. Our minimal room was spacious, clean (was daily made up), with storage space, its own heater and bathroom amenities. Comfy and big bed. We appreciated the complimentary ice tea on arrival and being able to remain on the property after check-out. The delicious and abundant breakfast with local produce gave us a daily headstart. Friendly and helpful staff. Two blocks away from the main square and near mini-shops and restaurants. The external hot tub (paid separately, 40 kCLP extra) under the stars, with no time-limit (!), was a worthwhile experience.

Amazing place, excellent staff and delicious breakfast. Room was also very nice, comfortable bed and clean, the premises have perfect spots for relaxation and watch the night skies. Easy walking distance of the town. You can also bring and prepare your own food.

Everything was perfect! The place is amazing and very beautiful. Fantastic to relax. Close to every touristic spot. Alejandro (owner and manager) was fantastic in all the tips and courtesy. We are certainly returning.

We wished we had been offered a refreshment or been able to get a shower/go to the bathroom before being asked to pay for the stay.

The pool, the common areas, the breakfast, the attention, the decoration, the cat, the view… Great experience, the hotel was finely decorated and well thought. The pool is gorgeous, with a fine view over the surrounding moutains. The owners were verry attentive to our needs and wishes. We’d definitely stay there again. Ideal for anyone seeking rest and beauty.

Initially took a little while to orient ourselves with the hotel facilities

Very friendly welcome from Alejandro the manager. He speaks very little English but booked us an excellent star gazing experience for that evening and also recommended a lunchtime restaurant (Hacienda Miraflores), with delicious local grilled food and a spectacular view down the Elqui valley. Also excellent breakfasts on the sunny terrace. Lovely garden which is very well looked after.

The owner of the hotel was incredibly helpful in telling us info about the area, he shared a local taxi number with us to get to Pisco Elqui from La Serena. The hotel is beautiful and just far enough out of the noise of Pisco Elqui, having a kitchen to cook in made all the difference. Breakfast exceeded our expectations, it’s better than it looks in the photos. Everything was freshly made with local produce and completely delicious!

We had a great stay at UMA Hotel. The owner, Alejandro, was extremely welcoming and helpful, suggesting tours, restaurants etc. The boutique hotel had a great location and is a great place to relax, stargaze and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
