The staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds were clean and the food was great. What more can I say.

Very friendly and hospitable staff, conveniently located close to main square and market, 5 cute little puppies in the property were a highlight...

Good food, comfortable bed, friendly informative staff. A wonderful family runs the hostal. 3 brothers have been working hard on improvements. There is a pool/hot tub/sauna that you can enjoy ($3 fee). They have a wood burning outdoor oven and we tried some freshly made bread that was incredible. Start off your trek by enjoying this wonderful hostal

They played the radio very loudly from 7am until 9pm, which I would have been happy to do without

Very helpful staff. Even transferred my extra luggage to the end of the Quilotoa Track at a reasonable rate. Delicious healthy meals

They had the radio on very loudly from 7am to late in to the evening, which didn't add to the vibe :(

It is a family home and they were very welcoming. Lovely views across the valley and down to the town. Amazing pool and spa to use.

What a wonderful family!! They were so warm and welcoming! You have your privacy with a spacious room but the common area to relax and have conversation. I enjoyed talking to the wife Marie! It felt like we were visiting friends.

What a warm, kind family! So accommodating—we arrived cold after a long trip from Quito, next thing we were slurping delish soup, then steam room and spa. Their kids are delightful.

Everything was great! Just be aware that you need to pay an extra $5 per person to use the spa (which was awesome).

Lovely stay in an actual family home. They really look after you. There is a spa onsite which is an extra bonus.

Friendly and welcoming family. Good food and local wine! I had a lovely time and would highly recommend staying there

Such a nice family. We arrived by bus late, and the hostess cooked us dinner and was very pleasant to talk with. Dinner and breakfast is included, and all is very fresh good food. Very genuine family, with a great place. They showed us the pool/sauna/hot tub that's in construction (to be completed in December), and it will be amazing! Highly suggest staying here to anyone passing through.

Felt like a wonderful and comfortable homestay! Great location to the start of the hike.

This was an amazing place to stay! Owners were super nice and attentive. Met another couple staying here and had a great dinner.

John was a great host. Whether it was laundry, grocery shopping or the hike the next day, he helped me with everything. The atmosphere is very familiar and warm. I had a great stay and a really fun evening, which may also have been due to the homemade liquor that John had unpacked later in the evening.

The property being older, bathrooms need some attention and are very small.

Very friendly family running the property, currently they are constructing a really large and beautiful pool, jacuzzi, Turkish steam room and sauna in a separate property adjacent their house. We enjoyed the dinner, especially the carrot soup. The owner shared local wine with us and showed us videos and additional activities in Sigchos.

The bunk beds should add hand holds for getting down.

The hostal is much nicer than the photos, as the facility was quite modern yet cozy. Typical in this area, night time was cold. However the blankets were incredibly warm and comfy. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We tried the local blueberry wine, which was surprisingly delicious. El Trapiche expects to have a pool, jacuzzi, and sauna ready by mid-August.

The staff and owner were very friendly and extremely helpful. Dinner and breakfast is included which makes the deal even better. If you are doing the Quilotoa loop this is the perfect place to stay in Sigchos. You can also request a lunch to go for the next day for a very reasonable price.

This is a wonderful place to stay! The family that owns it has done a really nice job and they are so sweet and welcoming. They are in the process of building an amazing looking pool and hot tub, which will make this place even better! This is a great value for the price you pay. It was very cozy and the food was good. They were very willing to accommodate our dietary needs (we were a group of vegetarians/vegans).

La ceña y desayuno fueron rico. John es agradable. I enjoyed my stay at El trapiche. John was an excellent host and very accommodating. They are building a pool, jacuzzi, and sauna for their guests.

The photos in the listing on Booking.com really don't do the place justice. The rooms are spacious and very nice. And the hostel is located in a very nice spot - back against the mountain but just a short walk into the city.

Our stay here was truly wonderful. It's a nice new building with everything that you need (we were able to catch up on some overdue laundry). But what really set it apart was the host and his family. He drove us up the mountain to an overlook of the city, and then to the top where his aunt was building a new restaurant. They embraced us like long-lost friends even though we had just met. It was truly remarkable and heart-warning.
