Josh United States of America

This is a great budget location, especially for the backpacker crowd. Very friendly and helpful staff and they have done much to mark the hiking trail routes.

Buzz United States of America

Real family run vibe. Good dinner and great breakfast included with vegetarian options. Communal dining means it’s easy to meet others doing the Quilatoa loop. Rooms are amazing - seem new! Lots of warm blankets and hot shower.

Grace United Kingdom

The food was absolutely delicious, the room was bright and newly furnished. The staff were friendly, and the location easy to find. We appreciated that they had a small store where you could by ice cream, and snacks and pretty much anything you needed. We also appreciated the filtered drinking water

Judy Canada

Comfortable room with hot water. The owners and staff were lovely and provided fantastic meals. They lit a fire in our room at night so we were very warm. The staff went out of there way to make sure we knew the way to hike to Isinlivi.

Lucinda United States of America
