All units have a private bathroom and shower with hot water, but only the main rooms have a private balcony with hammocks overlooking the mountains and the Pastaza River. Casa Verde Eco Guest House provides free WiFi throughout the house.

Delicious breakfast. Johan was very helpful in helping us pick activities and restaurants. He helped me solve a problem with our next hotel and with my phone as well. The location was awesome as it was fairly quiet (we stayed in Banos during a festival so there was some parties near by but more quiet than staying closer to the town’s center) and the view of the river was beautiful.

I loved this place, I would have stayed longer if I could. It's a 7 minute walk to the main square (according to Google) and I loved the location as it was close but away from the noisy streets. I slept so well here, really quiet room and big comfortable bed. It's a very friendly family run business.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The staff were very friendly, and very helpful. There were unfortunately some troubles in Ecuador while I was here, and they were very helpful in making sure I would be able to get to the airport safely. Additionally, the activities that can be booked from the hostel were a lot of fun, and the location of the hostel is ideal. The breakfasts sold at the hostel are very tasty and good value.

    After 7 months of travelling, this is one of the best hostels I have stayed at. Has all the things a backpacker wished for. Cheap, great kitchen facilities, towel included, good wifi! People are also awesome. Owner of hostel also owns one of the tour companies in town, so the discounts here are crazy. When I got sick they gave me a private room even though I was paying for a dorm. So nice
