The room was spacious with plenty of hot water. The free breakfast and dinner was nice. Has a home-like feeling which is fun. Not bad for the price if you’re passing through or staying in Baños a couple days.

Juan

The location was nice. The hostel encouraged community building with movie nights and free “family” dinners M-W. The bed was comfortable. The staff were knowledgeable and always willing to help.

It's a social hostel where people meet easily and you can organise stuff such as rafting trips, paragliding, excursions and what not. Also they have a free dinner at monday, tuesday and wednesday. It's not a lot, but a nice touch and again, an easy way to meet new people.

The breakfast was good as were the bonus dinners on the house that was offered on each of my three night stay. Comfortable mattress. Friendly staff and good price for the rental bike.

Bob

I stayed 2 nights, on Monday and Tuesday, and on those days not only the breakfast but also the dinner is included! So I payed a total of 17.5$ for 2 nights and had 2 breakfast and 2 dinners included. The atmosphere was great at night, the common area is very comfortable and they have computers for common use, a TV with DVDs and a pool table. The Staff was very nice and will help you book your activities.

This was a community of its own, with travelers from all over the world sharing experiences. The community room/restaurant/bar was a terrific place to hang out. The food was fantastic. The free dinners and breakfasts were really tasty and vegetarian. Staff was helpful. We even helped paint a mural on the grounds. Relaxed, holiday vibe.

The staff specially at the reception are not professional. The hostel policy is to receive $10 as a security deposit which is not mention in the website. When I asked the receptionist the reason for $10 deposit, he said “it’s to guarantee the guest don’t steal anything from the hostel!!!!!! Dorm is big but very busy! The five bed room dorm was okay but my bed was two steps (no exaggeration!!!) from the bathroom!
Outdoor space is huge and beautiful

Great hostel! Would definitely recommend it. The vibe is super chill and there is a great living room / dining area where you can hang out, drink a tea, watch a movie or play pool! Located at the edge of the center so you won't have any noise. Also very nice breakfast!

“Damp rooms, tiny and filthy bathroom - do not stay here!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Submitted from a mobile device
I cannot understand the good reviews for this place - can only assume some of the other rooms are better. The dorm room I stayed in was disgusting - smelt of damp and mould, my sheets even felt damp! The bathroom (one toilet and shower between 10) was tiny and absolutely disgusting; the worst I’ve seen in my 3 months in South America. No soap either. I stayed one night of the 3 I’d booked and then left for another (much nicer, and similarly priced) hostel. There are loads of options in Baños - don’t stay here!!!
Nice bar area and breakfast was basic but ok. Hit coffee

“Good potential but staff needs to change something”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Rant alert: This place has great potential if it would be run by people with actual experience and not customer unfriendly volunteers. So let's start with the obvious, the rooms were a bit too cold so make sure to prepare for that; The advertised breakfast? Take your mind from that and be prepared for a slice or two of bread with jam and fake butter; Internet, yeah, sure! Haha... Wasn't working in the rooms, was promised it'll be fixed, but many things were promised with this place. Dinner on the house? Sure, only if you sign up on Facebook with the internet that doesn't work. You'll also get treated like stupid for suggesting that you couldn't; Asked for checking out at 06:30, had to walk around for 10 min cus the volunteers were sleeping; Got charged for laundry even if we didn't do any. As you can see, all things can be fixed if the staff would be trained so hope by the time you get here (if you choose this place) this will be the case.
Nice area, close to the city and with cute garden and chill facilities.
