Friendly and attentive staff, great family style meals (dinner and breakfast included in price), lots of opportunity to connect with others, many day activities available for extra charge (hot tub/ sauna/ stream room was perfect after a day of hiking), clean & comfortable rooms, and information about the hike was available. Would absolutely recommend!!

The hostal itself is beautiful and spacious. There are big common areas where breakfast and dinner are served in 'family style'. We got a free upgrade to a room with private bathroom, which was great. The food was very good and they offered a very nice lunch pack for the next day of hiking. 10/10 would recommend (and already have recommended!)

Had to share the spa (Jacuzzi, Sauna, Steamroom) with another couple. We were both surprised and a warning or prevention of the overlapping reservations would have been appreciated.

Most luxurious hostel we’ve had so far. Fireplace in the room, Mountain View, Spa, Nice personnel, Good food (and lunchbox!).

Small number of bathrooms per bedroom

Great service, great food, comfortable and nice hostel to spend some time in

I didn't use the instruction pages, that are for free in the hostel for Isinlivi-Chugchilan hike, but people, that did use it, told me, that the option recommended by hostel for going straight up from Itualo to Chugchilan through Mirador Canon del Toachi was a wrong one.

The hostel is just exceptional - the rooms , private or dorms, the dining room , the studio to practice yoga, the music corner with guitars, the spa. The guys really invested in design, and the place has its own spirit. The food was great, and a ton of hot water.

It is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay but it's pretty remote. We stayed here while visiting Quilotoa Lake, when looking at a map it appears closer than it is. That being said we all agreed that the beauty and tranquility of the area outweighs the long drive to the Lake.

The lodge is beautiful and the surrounding area is picture perfect. It was comfortable, quiet and peaceful. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Our tour driver, Vladimir was one of the best we've had in Ecuador. The Andes mountains are not for the faint of heart. Vladimir prioritized safety over speed and we all felt comfortable with him behind the wheel. The food was very good. The entire lodge was clean and comfortable.

That I had to leave. Also, there are parts of the dorm where the roof was low and I banged my head a few times.

I loved the family style dinner to allow you to chat to other people. Free tea and coffee is also really nice. There are lots of little seating areas so you can relax. The outside terrace has amazing views of the sunset. And the spa! (jacuzzi, sauna, steam room for $5). I was sad to leave and would have loved to stay longer. If you’re doing the loop try and plan in a day off so you can stay longer.

Food could have been better. Lunch is $6.50- but you get a lot

Really enjoyed! Nice to have stove in room. Fun composting toilets. Social. Lovely jacuzzi/steel room/sauna set up! Yoga room with the best view ever! Would have liked to stay for more than 1 night. Great spot on Quilotoa loop.

The jacuzzi, the views, the staff, the food, the yoga room! Everything was perfection

This place is gorgeous. And unexpectedly awesome place to stay along the Quilotoa trek, but would be worth visiting on its own. Dorm beds were awesome.

Amazing staff, top notch food, great spa area and communal areas that are very conducive to hikers to have the best rest day on the Quilotoa Loop. The private rooms have an amazing view of the mountains with a fireplace inside. Thank you to Giovanni for making our stay so memorable. We extended for one more night because the property and people were so lovely. Couldn't recommend any higher!

Nothing pretty much faultless.

Cannot fault it from the world class staff, great food and facilities with the spa added a nice special touch to the stay.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this property.

Attention to detail is fantastic: they’ve thought of everything a weary trekker could need. The food is great and the staff super-friendly and helpful.

I liked everything

My girlfriend and I have been travelling for ovet 1 year and stayed in LOTS of hostels. This is a hostel that has a renowned reputation in Ecuador. Often, hostels with a big reputation do not meet expectation. However, Llullu Llama is different. If anything, they exceeded our expectations! This is one of the top 5 hostels I've ever stayed in (stayed in 50+) The staff were kind, warm and welcoming from the minute we entered the property The rooms are fantastic and comfortable, more like a luxury mountain lodge than a hostel The jacuzzi, steam room and sauna were a delight after a long day hiking The food is plentiful, tasty and balanced to fuel your hikes (you will be served a three course meal) We were even upgraded by the kind staff into a room that cost significantly more than the one we booked. This gave us two balconies, unspoiled mountain views and a private fire place. Not only is the consumer kept in mind, but so is the environment. Toilets are compostable and therefore use significantly less water than conventional flushable toilets. This is hugely important in a region that suffers from water scarcity and shows that Llullu Llama is considerate of its environment.
