Pior experiência da minha vida. Nao é seguro.
Pros:

É muito bonito

Cons:

Tive a pior experiencia da minha vida…
Fiquei presa no banheiro por duas horas, tive que cortar a tela da janela e e ficar gritando por duas horas inteiras por socorro, ninguem veio me socorrer. Outros hospedes me ajudaram. O hostel se recusou a me oferecer outro quarto ou sequer o transporte para a cidade, que e bastante longe e nao tem uber. Ainda insistiram que perderam dinheiro com meu cancelamento, demonstrando muita falta de empatia. Alias, enquanto eu chorava eles sequer me ofereceram um copo de agua, a recepcionista disse que eles nao sao obrigados a ouvir um hospedes gritando por socorro. Nunca fui tao desrespeitada em minha vida. Nao recomendo a mulheres que viajam sozinhas.

Pros:

Mama Tungus is the best hostel we’ve stayed in during our time in Ecuador. We moved here from the Great Backpacker Hostel and found it much nicer. The rooms were really well-equipped and clean. Overall, there was a very friendly and pleasant atmosphere. The pool was nice and cool and the hot tub warm – perfect combi. The staff were all very friendly and helpful (: They offer every tour you need. It’s a bit out of the way, but that’s exactly what I particularly liked. There are a few waterfalls you can reach on foot. All in all, we had a great time and will definitely be back ((:

Cons:

Nothing (:

Pros:

Die Zimmer und der Pool sind sehr gut wenn man mal ein bisschen relaxen möchte.

Cons:

Das Hostel liegt sehr abgelegen, daher ist es etwas umständlich wenn man mal in die Stadt möchte. Das Essen ist ok aber dafür verhältnismäßig teuer

Pros:

Great hostel with an amazing pool! Loads of places to chill and it's super relaxing as it's outside of town. Room got cleaned every day, beds were super comfortable and the room was nice and spacious!

Cons:

It's a bit far out of town and food isn't the cheapest at the hostel so you might end up racking up quite a tab. When we were there the traffic was insane which made cabs more expensive!
