Geweldig
Pros:

Dit was 1 van onze beste verblijven in Ecuador. Je voelt de warmte en liefde van de familie wanneer ze je verwelkomen. Het ontbijt + dinner was top. Het was proper en kan fijn douchen met warm water na een wandeldag. Het verblijf is kleinschalig en daardoor ook rustig. Je hebt de mogelijkheid tot een lekker (veggie) lunchpakket.

Cons:

Pros:

Amazing room right along the Quilotoa hiking path. Great dinner and breakfast, and they were very helpful in making chamomile, honey, and lemon tea when I was unwell, as well as letting us know where the nearest pharmacy is. Also a super comfortable room with a hot shower, and plenty of blankets to keep you warm at night.

The best place to stay in Chugchilan
Pros:

If you stay anywhere in Chugchilan on the Quilotoa Loop, let it be Hostal Dona Clarita! Everything from our first warm greeting, to our incredible room, delicious breakfasts and dinner blew us away. Dona Clarita and her family are wonderful and we felt so welcomed. We'd happily stay here again one day and recommend it for all travellers/backpackers/hikers alike

Cons:

Literally nothing, it was perfect!

Pros:

Nos hôtes étaient très accueillantes et souriantes ! On se sent tout de suite à l’aise dans cette auberge charmante, confortable et très propre ! Le dîner et les petits déjeuners sont très bons et copieux. Nous pouvons même être resservis si nous le souhaitons ! L’accueil avec le gâteau et le café à disposition est parfait pour le goûter après une bonne journée de ballade.

Fantastisch!
Pros:

Perfecte plek om de laatste etappe te lopen van de Quilotoaloop. Er werd goed voor je gezorgd, heerlijk ontbijt en diner en ook voor de hike was er de mogelijkheid een lunchpakketje mee te krijgen.

Cons:

Enige kleine minpuntje was dat er wat stinkende lucht uit de wasbak kwam als je het water gebruikte.

Would 100% recommend!
Pros:

The property is a family-run hostal. The family is very friendly, including their cat Theresa.
The rooms are spacious, shower is good, everything is clean. The food is lovely (breakfast, dinner and snacks).

Cons:

Nothing, although some noisy trucks may pass by during the early morning.
