Amazing ambiance. Great value for the money. Our main staff member (a guy) was so friendly and hardworking, he was incredible. Also just a very friendly and welcoming place all around.

Everything here is just perfect. Great food, beautiful and spacious communal areas, friendly and helpfull staff and a very welcome jacuzzi. We stayed in a private cabin and absolutely loved it. Great views as well. Could've stayed here for a week.

Beautiful lodge in a great location on the Quilotoa Loop. The owners put a lot emphasis on sustainable materials and supporting the local community. The food, including vegetarian and vegan options, is delicious and the spa area fantastic after a long, cold day of hiking.

Everything about this place was exceptional. The jacuzzi was such a treat after a long day of hiking. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable beds, great bathrooms. The food was possibly the best we've had in Ecuador, simply delicious. The bagged lunch was huge and yummy, sandwiches from home cooked bread, fresh baked cookies and other treats. Great location for the quilatoa trail. Hot water in the shower. Beautiful flowers and birds by our terrace. Lovely shared space as well. Tea, coffee and water provided. A bar if one desires.

Hot tub, sauna and steam room tepid

Very cozy and warm, Giovanni got the fire going in our room which was a huge plus (for drying our wet clothes and walking shoes). Also we had an early (6am) b’fast waiting for us on the table

Everything was perfect, but dinner could have been better/more tasteful.

This was a very good place to relax for a bit. I liked that they had free yoga classes. The view is amazing, nice short and long hikes in the neighbourhood.

The road to the lodge was a challenge.

It was quiet and one sleeps amazing!

It’s just too fancy. If you are looking for a cultural experience I would stay at a local place. You are sitting in the jacuzzi and looking at farmers! Yoga! Sauna! It doesn’t give the local lifestyle.

Compared to other hostels on the loop, this hostel is overpriced and falls short on many things. Dinner and Breakfast is served as family style so it’s a big pot in the middle, but it meant some people on the table got a lot more than others! Also breakfast is only served at 8am so if you want to get going early you can’t… there’s not even coffee out until 8! The lodge had too many guests for the amount of staff., you all have to check out at the same time so there is a really long queue. also the sauna and steam room was not hot so couldn’t be used. the food was nice but not as nice as other similar hostels on the loop. The rooms also felt very small and some didn’t have windows.

Food was great, hot tub was lovely, room was nice! A great spot and experience.

The dinner were a little disappointing, as we stayed there for 2 days, and had almost the same both nights. a little tasteless as well - but that's the only thing we can point out.

Everything about the lodge were perfect! the location were magical, and the staff took really good care of us! we were upgraded to a small cabin, without being charged extra - nice surprise!

Stayed in March 2023

Although dinner was said to be at 7pm, it wasn’t served until gone 7.30 and - when you’ve been hiking all day - that’s a long time to wait! We also asked for a packed lunch for the next day. In the morning, we had to wait 40 minutes from the time they said it would be ready!! It was also way overpriced for what we received - another hostel gave us more food and charged us half the price!

The hostel was in a fantastic location with amazing views and brilliant facilities. After a long day of hiking, the spa was enthusiastically enjoyed! The beds were really comfortable and, overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Location

Stayed in January 2023

It was a little more rustic than I was expecting. E.g. We had no water one evening. I wasn’t really a fan of the compost toilets, they smelled quite a bit so you had to either keep a window open which makes the room freezing, or deal with the smell. I do appreciate their efforts to be low impact/ eco-friendly, I just think the price is a little steep for the comfort level. You must pay cash only, or PayPal +6% charge… we were a bit disappointed that nobody told us this until checkout so we were hit with a 6% fee and a slightly stressful few minutes trying to logon to PayPal before getting our taxi.

Charming little lodge with very friendly atmosphere Breakfast and dinner were served family style and the food was excellent They provide tons of information about hiking routes and transportation which is really helpful

There was a car that had the alarm on during the night and no member of staff was in site to deal with the situation. We had to call them and it took a while for the matter to be solved

The building and rooms, the food and the staff

. Hot chocolate and mulled wine is available but incredibly overpriced, $5 each. Packed lunch is also quite basic and poor value for $6.50. Also some things have changed from started on the website since the pandemic: - Jacuzzi/sauna is no longer free, $5 per person for 1 hour - no yoga classes (there is a space to do it yourself) - there is no longer a resident llama :'(

Good social vibe, high quality facilities including spa, helpful staff

Stayed in September 2022

The packed lunch is a rip off- at $6.50 you get 1 sad looking sandwich, with no salad as promised, no chocolate, no drink included one piece of fruit and 2 boiled sweets, 3 small biscuits. You get much better box lunches for less than half the price from other hostels on the trail. The beds are rickety/ noisy The place is really expansive compared to what else is on offer on the trail, and I just don't think it was value for money at all. It was worth $50/ night not the $90 we paid, unfortunately.

The location was good- great views The staff were all friendly and informative The lodges were quite romantic, with a log burner in the rooms The food provided on site was very good and plentiful. A good common area which was very comfortable The facilities generally seemed very well maintained Overall, it is a really pleasant place to stay, but we were expecting so much more.

Good food, amazing location. Little more expensive but worth in the end.

The hot water ran out in the shower at 8:30 pm, after a day of hiking this is the last thing you want! The hostel offers a hot tub, but the price is $ 5 per person, a bit sad just that they didn't write that before.

The host Giovanni was lovely, helped us with information about the route of the lagoon. There is an option for a private room with a double bed or a bunk bed, the beds were comfortable and were warm and cozy at night. The hostel offers dinner and breakfast, which were nice and tasty.. Plus there is a rest room with books and board games, really nice.

Best hostel I’ve ever been

Like a retreat in the middle of the Andes mountains. Felt luxurious after hiking for a lot of the day. Really enjoyed the views and the family style dinner. Would definitely stay here again.

I had a hard time sleeping because the smell of urine from the urine catchment was very strong. I recommend opening the bathroom windows and putting a towel or blanket over the toilet to sleep. other than that, this place was amazing.
