Pros:

The owners were very welcoming and friendly. The communal area is very cosy especially because they have a fireplace which warms you up on a chilly night. The food and also the free banana bread were amazing. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

A perfect place to stop by on the Quilotoa Loop
Pros:

A wonderful place to arrive after a day’s walking. A warm welcome, the best food we had on the loop and free tea, coffee and fresh banana bread! There was a nice communal space to sit and chat to fellow hikers. The room was comfortable with an excellent hot shower- there were two beds in our room and one was much comfier than the other, so it was nice to have the choice!

Cons:

Nothing

Super adresse ! 10/10 !
Pros:

Tout ! L'accueil, les équipements, la literie, la vue, les collations à disposition et le petit plus: l'attention et les petits soins pour ma compagne qui était malade. Franchement une super adresse !

Cons:

S'il fallait trouver un défaut: 5 min de marche pour aller dans le centre du village. Mais si vous êtes ici c'est que vous aimez marcher 😊
