Barking dogs. Quite an out-of-way location but this contributes to its charm.

Wonderful view, exceptionally helpful and friendly hosts with good English language. Much holiday-enhancing information and hand-drawn maps have proved invaluable. They provided a delicious home-cooked meal and wine on arrival and prepped our own hot tub located on terrace so had great views of stars and sunset. Rooms very comfortable with the additional bonus of Mt Villarricci in full view (weather-dependent) on opening curtains in morning.

Spectacular views of volcano, amazing cabins, but best were the hosts who were very helpful in pointing us to the nearby national parks and walks that we wanted to do, to the extent of kindly giving us very helpful handwritten maps.

A remote place to switch off or to relax after visiting the sights in the surrounding area (of which there are many). The owner Michael and Stefanie escaped crowded Europe and created their own little paradise in perfect peace in nature, to share it with their visitors, who have their privacy but feel like visiting old friends in their home. Their welcoming hospitality goes from heartily prepared breakfasts and - in case you choose for - delicious dinners with healthy ingredients from their garden over millions of tips and advises for discovering the area and to preparing the hot tub for your return in the evening. They pay attention to every little detail in order to give you the perfect holiday experience. We will certainly remember the days at them as one of the most beautiful hosting experiences and never forget the perfect peace and quiet while sitting in the hot tub in the evenings under the Milky Way with the red glowing top of volcano Villarrica. Vielen Dank, lieber Much und liebe Steffi!

Nothing really, I was very happy there

I loved my experience at Karibuni Lodge. The hosts are special people who really care about their guests. Much is an amazing chef, most of the food is from their garden, the eggs from their hens etc. The view over lake and volcano Villarrica is stunning, the hot tub at sunset fantastic.Steffie und Much even arranged my excursions. I highly recommended

The view over the lake is fantastic. The cabanas have a nice interior design, including a good-sized shower and a sauna, as well as a personal tinaja outside. It is very quiet at night, and the amount of stars on a clear night is amazing. I would not hesitate to stay again.

Michael and Stefanie are some of the most amazing people we've ever had the pleasure to meet. The location is like a piece of heaven on earth. Their hospitality knows no limits. They were kind enough to even research and execute exquisite vegan dishes for my girlfriend. Their attention to detail paired with their incredible conversation and company made this trip an unforgettable one. I cannot recommend this place enough. It exceeded all expectations and left us wanting to stay at Karibuni lodge forever. We even extended our stay there simply because we couldn't get enough of this heavenly part of Chile. I will definitely come back one day, and hope everyone gets a chance to experience this magical place.

Loved everything

Everything about the location, the views of the lake and villarrica volcano, the most clean comfortable bed, amazing home grown gourmet meals, hot tub and big bathroom. Worth every penny and the hosts and owners were amazing human beings. Romantic for a couples getaway

Great place! Owners are really helpful and knowledgeable about the area - they can give you great tips on how to enjoy your stay! Breakfasts are really delicious too! This is also great value for money - you might spent a bit less but here you get a full newly built cottage with a hot tub, I wouldn't miss it 😉

You will need a car to get there, it’s on a dirt road. Not an issue in Chile

View, beds, hosts, food absolutely everything!! These hosts are the best. They know and love what they do and it’s felt from the first moment of arrival. Michael drew maps to help guide us to our destination’s. The food is plentiful and very healthy as well as tasty. Bed was best we had in our two months in South America. Volcano glowing at night with the stars and hot tub was always a wonderful end to the day. Best view in the area.
