Wundervoller und gemütlicher Aufenthalt in Mitten der Natur! Top!
Pros:

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt!
Die Zimmer sind offen und man war inmitten der Natur, aber trotzdem gut vor Insekten geschützt.
Selten haben wir wo so gut geschlafen im Urlaub, weil wir wirklich mit den Geräuschen der Natur einschlafen durften.

Die Stadt war zu Fuß gut innerhalb von 15 Minuten erreichbar.
Das Essen im zugehörigen Restaurant war ebenfalls sehr gut!
Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen

Cons:

Es wurden uns leider ein paar Dinge nicht erklärt, zum Beispiel wie der Wasserfilter im Zimmer funktioniert. Wir sind uns auch nicht sicher ob unsere Cottage auch nur begrenzt Strom hatte, da wir an zwei Tagen hintereinander einen Stromausfall hatten, der die ganze Nacht andauerte.

Amazing Jungle Retreat
Pros:

The breakfast was really good with a bit of variety in what can be ordered. The staff were friendly. The place was cleaned and well maintained. The food was amazing and the views especially for sunset was wonderful!

Cons:

The top bunks in the dorm were a bit hard to get into (the ladder was narrow and there was a mosquito net).

Pros:

Super schöne Unterkunft mit liebevoll eingerichteten Bungalows mitten im Wald (Erwachen zu Vogelgesang, ideal zum Vögel beobachten vom Bungalow aus). Sehr feines Essen, verschiedene Frühstücksvarianten. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Pros:

Decent breakfast and awesome staff who were lovely. Also saw a toucan on my last day which was a highlight! Rooms are nice and comfortable albeit my dorm bed was a bit hot (my bed didn't have a fan, others did). Great price

Amazing stay
Pros:

A wonderfully calm and welcoming space, with the warmest, most hospitable hosts. I especially loved that Frederico took the time to share the mission and story behind the place — it gives it a real sense of purpose and makes it feel like far more than just somewhere to sleep. Everything was excellent, but the food truly stood out. The yuca pizzas in particular are absolutely incredible. Getting into town is straightforward too, whether you walk the trail or hop on a motor taxi.

Imperdible!!!
Pros:

Es un lugar mágico, en medio de una reserva natural, puedes descansar y desconectarte, pero a la vez se encuentra cerca del pueblo.
Los baños secos tienen excelente ventilación y siempre se encuentran limpios, no hay olor, excelente la construcción, y la ducha es super reconfortante, buena presión y siempre la temperatura se encuentra super agradable.

El personal es amoroso, atento, personaliza la atención haciéndote sentir que les importa tu experiencia.
Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a los dueños y son super agradables y comprometidos con el ecosistema y el turismo ecologico.

El restaurante se destaca por sus excelentes platillos, sabrosos y abundantes.
El desayuno es delicioso, recomiendo elegir desayuno incluido, vale la pena.

Es una área natural en la montaña, super acondicionado para que la estadía sea súper confortable, pero es naturaleza, se consciente de ello y lleva repelente y estate dispuesto a caminar por escaleras y tu experiencia será maravillosa.

Detalle extraordinario: el restaurante tiene la mejor vista para contemplar uno de los mejores atardeceres que visto en mi vida.

Agua para beber fria y caliente disponible siempre.
Todo extraordinario.

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.
