Tiny & Big House Suite Los Mallines de Malalcahuello

Ruta 181, Malalcahuello, Chile

Guest reviews: 9.8

HOTEL OVERVIEW

Honestly, when I first saw the name “Tiny & Big House Suite,” I wasn’t sure what to expect – but this place completely surprised me in the best way. It’s tucked right off Ruta 181 in Malalcahuello, and you know what? The location is actually perfect if you’re looking to explore the Araucanía region without dealing with crowds. I mean, you’re literally surrounded by the kind of scenery that makes you stop mid-conversation just to stare.

The “tiny and big” concept makes total sense once you’re there – they’ve somehow managed to create these incredibly spacious suites that still feel intimate and cozy. The design is this lovely mix of modern comfort with rustic Chilean touches (think local woods and textiles that actually complement each other instead of looking forced). What really got me was the attention to small details – like the way they’ve positioned the windows to frame the Andes views, or how the kitchenette has everything you’d actually need, not just the bare minimum most places throw in. The beds are seriously comfortable too, which matters more than people admit when you’re planning day hikes around Conguillio National Park.

The area itself is what sealed it for me, though. Malalcahuello isn’t one of those over-touristed spots yet – you can still hear the Cautín River in the morning instead of tour buses, and the local cafés actually serve residents, not just visitors passing through. The owners clearly know this region well because they’ll point you toward trails and thermal springs that don’t show up on the typical tourist maps. Parking is easy (which isn’t always a given in Chile’s mountain towns), and honestly, the whole check-in process felt more like visiting friends than staying at a hotel. The 9.8 rating isn’t just inflated review enthusiasm – this place genuinely delivers on creating an experience that feels both relaxing and adventurous. If you’re the type who wants to wake up to mountain views, spend your days exploring volcanic landscapes, and come back to somewhere that feels like a retreat rather than just a place to sleep, this is exactly what you’re looking for.

The tiny house had all of the necessary comforts, and more, for a stay of any length. It’s beautiful during any weather thanks to the big windows, but still safe and secure. The kitchen is fully equipped and the deck with grill is great for enjoying the outdoors without leaving the property. We would definitely return.

Really nice cabins and very friendly staff! Whe stayed here one night during our roadtrip heading North and used it as a base to explore vulcanic grounds surrounding crater navidad. Everything was available and clean. Really liked having breakfast at the veranda.

What could be improved: You smelled the chlorine when you came in, i guess from the cleaning.

Host very kind, understanding, organized, and accommodating. I arrived a day early by accident!

What could be improved: I wish coffee and tea would have been provided. Otherwise you have to go out and get some. The kitchen was otherwise very well equipped and a few drinks offered in the fridge (very thoughtful). But to have coffee or tea in the morning (even had a very nice electric kettle) is an easy thing that brings a lot of pleasure to a guest. A bit close to the main road. Luckily low traffic. And you can't see it, just hear it. The view from the side looks up at a beautiful steep mountain. The bird calls in the morning were amazing.

Very good equipped with all you need + more. Nice taras where you can seat in the afternoon sun shine. Even barbecue. Would be much nicer to stay longer, but... hope next time. Fantastic restaurant located just on the other side of the road, walking distance. Really close to the ski resort.
