Nothing!

We loved our stay here. We only stayed a night while doing the Quilotoa loop but wished we'd stayed longer! It felt quiet and peaceful, beautiful setting, comfy lodgings. There was plenty of space, lots of games and puzzles for entertainment. The free yoga was great. Food was good. Our advice is arrive early and leave late to make the most of it!

It is clean, in a nice location, the place is just as it is shown in the pictures. very good place to spend the night after a little hike as the first stop in the Quilotoa Loop. Nice breakfast and dinner included. It might seem a bit expensive for a hostel, but it was totally worth it. Gio and the rest team were very attentive and made everything to make me feel good. Jacuzzi and sauna are amazing for preparing yourself for the upcoming hiking days.

Beautiful well-appointed ecolodge with attentive and courteous staff. The room was incredibly clean and comfortable and the in-room fireplace was wonderful for the cool evenings. It was the perfect stay after a long day of hiking. Highly recommend and would love to return one day.

Stunning property with amazing staff! I just wish we could have stayed longer!

Cliche, but we didn’t like having to leave after only one night! We would definitely plan our walk better and enjoy a rest-day here if we ever pass through again!

This was among the best places we’ve ever stayed! It was like a wee oasis after a long day hiking. Dinner and breakfast was tasty, the bed was comfy, hot water in the shower and a fireplace in the bedroom!

Considering they actively take all sorts of good measures to limit water use, I find it a bit counterproductive to have to let the water run for a few minutes in the shower for it to become hot. I couldn't helped being bothered by it, even if they mention shower water is collected and reuse to water the garden. In Asia, people often have a big bucket in their shower to collect clean water before it gets warm. They then use it for other things. Maybe something similar could be tested during dry season.

Everyone working there is so helpful. They are able to create a very enjoyable atmosphere for the guests. I'm not so much of a social person but I actually enjoyed having dinner at the same table as other guests. They also enquire about special dietary restrictions and take this into account for the food they serve. They offer a wide variety of activities, either tours but they also have a binder with many self-guided hikes around Isinvili ranging from one hour to all day. I also enjoyed that they try to involve the local community in their activities/offering so tourism benefits locals. As for the rooms, very comfortable, with all amenities.

I needed a bit of time to get used to the type of sustainable toilet :) but that’s all good!

Probably one of the best places I have stayed during my trip in Ecuador and in South America in general. The professional yet personal service of the staff was top notch (and they spoke good English, which is not to take for granted in Latin America), the common areas were so nice and cozy and warm with a fireplace, I felt like I could stay longer if I had more time. They also run activities to see a cheese factory, an indigenous market, horseback riding and more. At some point I felt sick due to the altitude and they really took care of me which is rare.

Probably the best place we stayed in Ecuador. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location itself was breathtaking. Lovely room and it was very clean

This lodge is easily the best hostel we have ever stayed in. The main house, cabins, yoga rooms and spa (!) are all gorgeous and wonderfully well equipped. We loved the family-style meals at dinner and breakfast, the yoga class and the jacuzzi in the spa. The team went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable at any given moment :) We had an absolutely amazing time here and would strongly recommend that you stay at least two nights!

We loved Lulu Llama so much! It was the perfect, beautiful respite after two days of hiking. This hostel has gone over and above in every sense for hikers offering not only beautiful, tranquil lodging, but a spa, $20 massage, games, box lunch, free drinking water, fire stoves for heat in the rooms, cozy beds, yoga, happy hour, delicious meals, everything a weary hiker dreams of. All of this with friendly staff always available to help!

As I mentioned, we drove there. The final half hour was a one-lane, dirt road. Given all the rain Ecuador has had, there were tiny mud slides all around. It was a little nerve wracking. Luckily I wasn't doing the driving.

It was a wonderful hiking lodge, mostly of backpackers. We were a family who drove in. The staff was helpful. The breakfasts and dinners were great and they cater to different needs. It was enjoyable eating our meals all together. The view from our patio was amazing. The free yoga classes were great (7am and 4pm).

The property is high up in the Andes so you will need warm clothes esp for the night time.

A beautiful upscale hiking lodge with stunning views. The staff were amazing and placed flowers on our table for our anniversary.

Everything was good!

Great location, friendly staff, delicious food, hot shower. We had a room with a view of the mountains, beautiful! Amazing to have some luxury during the Quilotoa loop.

It's one of my nicest accommodations on my whole 5 month trip in South America so far. You can totally relax after a long day of hiking. The common areas are very welcoming. You have free tea and coffee the whole day, and also free yoga classes. And for a small fee you can use the wellness area. The food is very delicious. To spend the evening next to the fireplace is amazing.

We stopped here whilst walking the Quilotoa loop and was a wonderful oasis of comfort! Hot showers, cosy living rooms, INCREDIBLE selection of games, lovely spa you can use for $5 (although steam room and sauna never really got hot when we used it), and free yoga twice a day to stretch out tired muscles. Breakfast and dinner were tasty and filling. Only qualm is the packed lunch which we found incredibly overpriced at $6.50, and not that great.

This place is incredible. The staff, the rooms, the spa, the food and the general level of care is amazing. Its the perfect stay for our day 1 of the hike. Most people were extending their stay after being in the building about 5mins.
