Perfect hostel in Baños – comfortable room, hot showers, laundry service, and strong internet. The host was friendly and provided great recommendations for activities around Baños. Very honest and excellent value. Highly recommend!

A little bit up the hill, which gets you a quieter stay (especially on weekends). Comfortable bed, beautiful garden, family run and extremely helpful with any information you may need (son speaks multiple languages -English, French, Russian, as well as Spanish).

Staying at the house was a blast ! The staff is amazing ! They are very helpful from the moment you check in: offering you options of activities, a view of the area on the map etc. Saolo speaks perfect English, French and a bit of German. The room was great: clean and confortable. Kitchen and dining area available. Common spaces spotless and nicely decorated.

At this price point, absolutely nothing.

The location is ideal: convenient to everything in Baños but just outside the noisiest, busiest area. The gardens are lovely, there is a decently equipped kitchen and the entire property is clean and comfortable. Most importantly, the owners, especially their son Saulo, are fantastic hosts. You couldn’t ask for a more kind, thoughtful, helpful and all-around-nice person than Saulo. Also, he’s quite fluent in several languages (at least English and French, as well as his native Spanish).

Great location, comfy room, hot showers and the staff are so kind and polite. Explained what the city had to offer in great detail. Always asked if I needed anything. They also provide laundry service which is a bonus. I would recommend this place whole heartedly!

The location is a bit off the town centre, so it's quieter. It's walkable from the bus terminal. The hostel is really a three storey house changed into a hostel. Inside there are wide comfortable stairs that lead to various rooms. As it was the off season (rainy), I had the dorm (4 beds) to myself with attached bathroom, large and spacious, very clean. The kitchen is well arranged and kept in good condition. The only thing not up to standard usage is the lack of sockets near beds (at least in the female dorm). Charging the phone is nowadays an essential necessity, especially at night. There is no one traveller without a phone, and having one in function is a modern dependency. There may be plenty of outlets in the sitting and kitchen areas, but having one next to the bed where a person is sleeping has become an important thing, there is a sense of security when one's phone is nearby, charging. That's the only reason for not giving a 10.

A water filter would be a great addition. Bring ear plugs for the cockrells.

The hostel was in a great location, 10mins from the bus station and easily walkable into town. It was quiet, equipped kitchen, rooms were very clean and the shower was hot and from a boiler (still hot during blackouts). The hosting family were so welcoming, gave loads of information and were happy to help at all times. We booked a tour through the hostel that we changed last minute and we got a full refund as well as a better price than others had recieved.

What you see on-line is what you get. So no negative surprises, if anything, it is better than the on-line image. My dorm had plenty of windows, for air flow and a bright feeling, bed was comfortable. It's a small walk down hill to the town centre, so quiet pleasant location. Only meters to the open market, to buy some cheap fruit or a meal. It has a nice kitchen area for our use, with everything I needed. Very helpful staff, who give detailed information about the town, when you check in. Clean and attractive place. A bonus, especially for backpackers is there is a set up for doing your own laundry, including free laundry soap. Thank you.

Saulo was exceptional in his welcome and explanation of things to do in Banos. His use of English is also incredible. His Dad, just as friendly with no English is very patient and helpful. Very comfy dorm with ensuite. Small kitchen for cooking. Great location. Quiet. Cute wee pooch. Rooms were cleaned and towels changed everyday. Its their home, and they take pride in it. Great artwork on the walls too. A very homely feel.
