Pros:

The lady that made the breakfast was nice.

Cons:

The owners here are basically non existent, they want to design the stay so they don’t have to be there, which is ridiculous. I was there for two nights and they were not there once. They will make excuses as to why they are not there. It feels quite unsafe, especially at night. The gates are not locked and there is nobody there, anything could happen. The breakfast is eggs and bland toast. The electricity cuts out at night.

Pros:

Ambiente bacana.

Cons:

Hostel recomenda um taxista que não respondia mensagem, demorou mais de 30 min para chegar e ainda cobrou o dobro do que me falaram. Localização é 30min andando em uma estrada perigosa. Há locais mais remotos, mas mais tranquilos de caminhar.

Cachorro ficou fazendo barulho na varanda do quarto. Porta não fechava pelo lado de dentro. Ir ao banheiro de madrugada é desagradável.

Pros:

Hostel muito confortável, bonito, fresco, muita paz. O quarto compartilhado era bom.

Cons:

O café da manhã é um pouco pequeno, mas é bom. Se você estiver com malas muito pesadas, se prepare para carregar bastante peso.

Pros:

Le calme, la vue, le dortoir et la douche.

Cons:

La propreté du frigo et globalement de la cuisine, cela mériterait un nettoyage et entretient plus régulier !

Pros:

Incredibly beutiful, in the middle of nature. Shower and compost toilet are incredible. I had such a good time. So peaceful. The stuff is nice, and the places story is heartwarming.

Cons:

There was no food served, only breakfast, and the self service kitchen was small and not equipped. If the big kitchen isnt operating during the day it could have been nice to let guests use it instead.

Pros:

Le site est très beau. Le dortoir fonctionnel. On entend en effet la route en contrebas la nuit. Le coin cuisine manque de matériels mais heureusement il est alors possible d’emprunter le matériel à la cuisine centrale. Attention aux moustiques et aux jejenes qui pullulent à Minca!

Beautiful views and peaceful eco hostel
Pros:

Beautiful views from the terraces. Great ethos and nice hammocks and communal spaces to relax in. Generally a peaceful and relaxed hostel.
We enjoyed the 20 minute walk through the jungle into town.
Included breakfast was the standard eggs on toast with fruit.
Helpful information provided at check-in.

Cons:

Note the on-site restaurant was not open when we were there (I don't know if this is a temporary or permanent thing).

Très décevant, loin de la prestation attendue au regard de la description
Pros:

Rien de particulier

Cons:

Nous avons quitté l’établissement après la première nuit alors que nous en avions réservé trois. La chambre présentait un manque de propreté, nous avons rencontré des problèmes d’électricité et la chaleur était telle que nos enfants n’ont pratiquement pas dormi dans la chambre du rez-de-chaussée. Le restaurant était fermé (nous en avons été informés seulement la veille de notre arrivée), le petit-déjeuner était très décevant et il était difficile de trouver du personnel sur place. Malgré notre départ anticipé motivé par l’ensemble de ces problèmes, aucun remboursement des deux nuits non utilisées ne nous a été proposé.
