Very nice welcome by the friendly hosts who took good care of us. Large room, hot shower, good food. The view of the canyon is amazing.

Owners worked very hard to satisfy us, food was excellent, rooms were large, lots of blankets and a nice countryside smell. You get so much more for such a small price. We had a nice steam bath and the view of the canyon is unique and absolutely breathtaking.

No one around when we arrived at 1 pm, and no cell to call the number posted

Norma, the cook and banquera, is a gem, so kind and accommodating, including b’fast at 6.15 (so we could—mostly—avoid rain on the crater rim). Hot (!) steam room and sauna

Nothing It is a very nice place to stay after hiking all day in the rain

Amazing value We were trekking with four teenages Both supper and breakfast were very good and the dining room salon had a nice fire so it was warm after a cold wet walk Really amazing value Our room wasn t heated but because of wood burners on floor below didn t feel really damp The food here is much better than overpriced BSI located in the same town Highly recommend

Nothing

Really enjoyed the stay at Hostal el Vaquero. The room was big and the bed comfortable, the staff were all really friendly and welcoming, and the food was good. Great value for money and would definitely recommend to anyone doing the Quilotoa loop.

Everything was perfect.

Family run business, very nice people, very good location, good food, facilities, friendly dogs. They went above and beyond to make us feel good. Great views from the room.

Right on the Quilatoa Loop trail. Very nice dining/common areas, fantastic views. On the edge of town so it was nice and quiet and secluded.

The hostel is in a great location for the Quilotoa loop and it was clean and good value. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

While I enjoyed the two young men who the facility put us together with as our driver and guide, and appreciated their willingness to give us as much time as we desired at each site, their English was not good and I would not call either of them a guide, yet. They do have a lot of potential, however, and we very much enjoyed our experience with them.

We arrived later than expected, so we’re unable to partake of the pleasant lounge area they had which seemed to encourage visitors to fellowship. The rooms were quite nice, the dining area and breakfast good. The setting was beautiful. The staff extremely helpful.

Great location. Great views. The family who runs this place are amazing. Try the zip line!

The rooms were cold. Lots of blankets so it wasn't too bad to sleep but it was a little uncomfortable. It would have been good to have the fire going in the lounge area when we arrived because everywhere was cold and we couldn't get warm until later on in the evening when the fire was on.

The sauna and steam room were a nice bonus despite the facilities being pretty basic but that is reflected in the price.

The shower could have been cleaner.

The staff was very nice, the room was big and spacious.we got the room with external windows which was very nice. The shower was very hot and spacious. Vegetarian food was good and with nice portions. Location - a bit out of town, but directly on the tracking route, so really good.

The Vaquero lodge offers better views and tranquility than others in the village due to its location. The room was comfortable and the shower was hot. The hammocks outside the room were nice. The family that runs it is generous and kind.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all excellent! The heating in the shared space was also a great relief from the cold.

Not really that I didn't like! Food was a little basic, but there was enough. Not sure if there was a sauna or Turkish bath, but I didn't ask. Would have been nice to have been shown around.

Friendly owners and dogs. Great views. Clean functional rooms, hot water. Cheap beer. Alpachas in garden.

Not a thing to complain about!

Friendly staff, great food, easy to get vegan dinner and breakfast. Very quiet area, comfy bed, lovely views. Free refills of water bottles with filtered, good tasting water. We went to the Sauna and Steam Room which was amazing! Fresh Eucalyptus leaves in the Steam Room are the best you can have after a day of hiking. Hammocks and lots of opportunities to sit and relax. Lovely garden.

Situated right on the Quilotoa loop trail (a bit out of town) with a lovely view of the canyon. Apparently - it was completely cloud covered for our visit! Victor was a very kind host, lovely wood burning stove in the middle of the common area by some sofas. Hot water.
