A quiet piece of paradise in Minca
Pros:

Great from check-in to check-out. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I upgraded to a private room and they made it super easy for me. The food is delicious and the location is incredible, in nature (although close to the road). During my stay I saw dozens of hummingbirds, a toucan and an anteater from the main deck. I was quite sad to leave!

Bonito, mas longe de tudo, cansativo pra subir e o banheiro de compostagem realmente é algo complicado pra mim.
Pros:

A arquitetura é bonita e o pôr do sol realmente é lindo lá de cima. A moça da recepção é um amor.

Cons:

É afastado do centro, fica na beira da estrada. Tem que subir um monte de degraus pra chegar lá e isso é horrível pra quem tá com mala/mochila pesada. O banheiro é de compostagem, não dá descarga, eu particularmente senti muito nojo quando vi aquilo e não consegui usar, fui embora, então não cheguei a dormir no hostel q tb estava sem energia quando cheguei e eu precisava de internet pra trabalhar. Como não dormi, não posso avaliar os quartos.

Ecological building meets warm and friendly
Pros:

The staff is very friendly, helpful
and competent, as are the owners. It has been built ecologically, the location is peaceful, in the middle of the forest with amazing sunsets. The food from the kitchen is tasty and made with care.

Cons:

I don't have any complaints!
It is a nice 20 minute walk to the town. If you have problem climbing stairs, I would not recommend this place.

Pros:

The breakfast was great, especially the pancake. The whole hostel is very welcoming, great vibe, nice chill zone with hammocks, comfy work area. The beds were good too. Like the whole eco concept.

Cons:

The only thing I would say they could improve is add a little shelf by the beds or sockets for the second floor beds. Have a long cord otherwise. Also cold shower (not a fan)

Pros:

Nun das dritte Mal in diesem Paradies!
Diesmal nicht im Bettenlager sondern in privater kleiner Lodge.
Alles mit viel Liebe und Naturmaterialien gebaut.
Alles strahlt eine wundervolle Energie aus.
Das ganze Team kümmert sich perfekt um die Gäste.

Herzliche Dank
