Reviews of Great Hostels Amazon

peaceful, great hosts, very very kind! and the value for money is 10/10, you have a good breakfast. you have shops to buy sth to cook in the kitchen or you may buy some pasta or pizza inside the hostel. you also have 6hs tour with a great guide to the jungle

If you want a place in the jungle then this place has a great location. If you want the benefits of being in the town it will score low in terms of location. Staff are great, good food available, beers too. The dorm is the biggest I have been in on this trip, loads of space to spread your stuff out. Beds good too.

Hostel was fine, just a bit of a pain to get to but not too difficult. If you are using Apple maps be aware that it has the hostel in the wrong place - when you get off the bus it is c50 yards back the way you gave just come.

If you’re looking for something off the beaten path and to chill this is it. WiFi was significantly better than mine in the US, was shocking how awesome it was haha. Sleeping arrangements seemed bug proof. Breakfast was simple, but good. Owner was nice. Bike rental was affordable. A few things to do for a full day in the area; the scenic sunset spot was incredible worthy the trip out here. The resturant across the street easily had the best Ecuadorian food I’ve had. Went there 3x in 2 days.

A lot of the hostel’s pictures are from the surrounding area. I booked this for the view with the hammock, however it’s about a 45 minute walk from the hostel get there. Not many travelers stay here. More so Ecuadorian families needing a place to stay for the evening. The families were pretty loud. I recommend spending 1 night here.

Nature

Dirty, Staff

I like the room, it was clean, nice deco and the bed was big and the breakfast is a plus definitely

It was just a little far away

The location, so beautiful and surrounded by nature Clean and comfortable Vanessa was so friendly and helpful.

Really nice rooms, nice location, friendly and helpful staf

They send the booking no show, although we stayed there

i had a very good time there. the beds were very comfortable and the area is perfect to calm down and enjoy the nature. also mario one of the staff members is a very nice person :)

Nice location.

The hostel is in really beautiful place on the "last road" before the forest. The dormitorio is really nice and all the structure give you really a fantastic peaceful mood. The two host was ok, they give you suggestions, but It seems like things aren't being handled, things happen but aren't part of an organized management.

If it is properly managed it would be a 9... if they tried to propose properly organised tours it would be a 10

My stay at Guest House Great Hostels Amazon was, without a doubt, the absolute highlight of my entire Amazonas trip in Ecuador. To begin with, getting there might require a bit of effort, but it's entirely worth it. You can catch the Centinela bus from the Mariscal market (just search "Cooperativa de Transportes Centinela del Oriente") which runs three times a day to Parroquia Tarqui (at 6 am, 12 pm, and 4 pm). Once you arrive, you'll be immersed in a genuine local Amazonian experience. The hostel is truly a hidden gem. They not only provide valuable guidance on visiting local communities, viewpoints, and waterfalls but also offer an authentic taste of Amazonian life. The surrounding area boasts a few local restaurants, and the hostel itself serves a complimentary breakfast and has its own restaurant. Additionally, there's a small kitchen available for guests. However, the absolute highlight of my stay was the tour with Enri. It was a genuine local experience and a steal at just $25 for the entire day. This price is significantly lower than what you'd pay for the more touristy tours offered in town or in Tena and Baños.

While my stay at Guest House Great Hostels Amazon was an incredible experience overall, there were a few minor drawbacks. First, the cold showers were less than ideal, especially after a long day of exploring. Secondly, the kitchen facilities, while available, could benefit from some improvement to make cooking more convenient. Lastly, the hostel's remote location, though providing an authentic experience, might pose a challenge for travelers seeking more immediate accessibility. However, these minor inconveniences were overshadowed by the exceptional positives of the stay and the unique Amazonian adventure it offered.

Amazing place very close to the waterfall. You feel kind of in the jungle. There are some things around to do like the cocoa farm, waterfall and viewpoint (3km walk or bike). Some restaurants nearby as well.

The food at the hotel restaurant is overpriced. A restaurant nearby offered great typical food for a good price so that was fine. Breakfast could have been better.

Fabulous location, so close to the waterfalls and "the swing" and a lovely place to unwind and relax. Great breakfast and dinner, and super friendly and kind owners!!

Absolutely nothing
