Backpackers Hostel is the best in Pucon. You will feel there as you were at home. It is great, clean, and very very friendly. Claudio and his family are genuine and helpful. Claudio even recommended me which tours to choose and his advise was cleary worthy. In few words, home sweet home is Backpackers Hostel.

Wow! In all of my travels in Chile, from San Pedro de Atacama to Pucon, I have to say that I enjoyed this hostel more than most. The accommodation itself is cozy, along with the fire that Claudio keeps going during the afternoon hours. Claudio is by far one of the best parts of staying at this backpackers. He knows when, where and what to do most all of the time. He hooked us up with some day adventures, good advice, and a taxi ride in and around Pucon. Great times will be had. Pucon and this backpackers are the ideal place to stay if you are looking for a jump-off point to adventure. Go to the grocery in town and use the kitchen, and if you are lucky, you may get Claudio to throw some chorizo and spice in your stew like he did for us. Good man, good times, good price. South America is quite a gem.

This is such a lovely hostel in a great position, only about 2 blocks from the main road. Claudio is such a great guy, really helpful and knowledgeable about the area and what you can do. The kitchen is also really useful even though around dinner time there does end up a bit of a queue to use it! Also it helped us save up a bit of money so we could afford to go snowboarding in Bariloche where we headed next. It's also really cheap for what it is, where it is and what they offer.
Pucon is such a lovely place, perfect for doing great adventurous stuff in the day and Hostal Backpackers was the perfect place to unwind in front of the warm fire (also perfect for drying out boots and socks for the next day!) and the big telly.
We had a great time and I would probably consider Hostal Backpackers to be the best hostel I stayed at in South America...and that's saying something!!

I had a great time in Backpackers Hostel, apart from being so tired from the adventures I was having everyday!!
Claudia and his wife have a great little hostel and have a great network of friends in the tourist business! We climbed a volcano and went rafting, and then to top it off they arranged trips to the local hot springs, which are so good!
I highly recommend this hostel for its atmosphere, helpful people and good location.
