Reviews of River Song's Hotel

Family who run the place are helpful. Breakfast is nice.

Villa not as described or pictured. Very run down and dirty, including mould on the quilt and dead bugs on the beds. There are also two dogs that live on the property. One of them can be very aggressive and would jump up at my husband barking at him everytime we came back in. It really made us dread leaving and returning to our accommodation.

Rivers Song was beautiful, run by a lovely family who accommodated our vegan breakfast needs. We ended up booking a night in the riverside cabin as well which was extremely special. Probably best if you have a bike or a car as it's a bit of a walk out of town.

Location

Lack of maintenance of facilities

The hospitality, the family, breakfast was incredible!!

Looks like they are new in the business

Location by the river side and delicious breakfast featuring home made Arab bread and coffee. A true treat.

Evident lack of proper maintenance of the facilities which resulted in lack of hot water for showering, loose wooden floor planels at the entrance of the cabin, and annoying beeping of smoke detectors in the cabin.

The Jordan style breakfast was fantastic as well as the bbq facilities. The host was very accommodating to our concerns and questions. It was wonderful to be located right on the river. The hookah after our BBQ was a great personal touch!

The description should be updated since the accommodation does not have a kitchenette or a well working fridge. All items are in the main house. However the host made sure we felt comfortable and could access everything.

Everything was perfect. The cabins by the river are wonderful, breakfast was really good and service as well. Very recommended.

The owner was great, and the breakfast delicious. The location is so good!

hot rooms with no mosquito nets in the windows so we got bitten by all sorts of bugs, and the beds had the most synthetic bedsheets I've ever used

So good we stayed twice. Ignore the doom-mongers, Ecuador is still a safe country (except for Guayaquil).

The infamous cold shower.

The owner was really nice, he helped us a lot (called taxis) and cooked a delicious breakfast and afternoon tea. We could also use the kitchen. The house is beautiful, sorrounded by nature, you can always hear birds and the river. It is really close to the Teleferico Minjoy if you want to take it to go to Cascadas Mindo.

Family very friendly and welcoming, great location not too far out of Mindo (easy walk or cheap taxi), peaceful, really good breakfast, nothing too much trouble (free laundry etc)

Nothing.

Enjoyed the location and the cabin was nice. The owner was great and breakfast was delicious! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place that is cozy and has great views of the river. Location is great!

Bathroom could have been cleaner.

Staying right at the rivers Ed was incredible. Beautiful natural setting. Be prepared that the rushing river is noisy all the time. But also soothing and beautiful. The hosts were lovely and friendly and were a lovely part of our experience there.

The electric water heating showerhead was very tricky to use and get the water warm enough. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

We enjoyed the nice place near the river (also if you don’t book a river house, there is a common space at the river). The staff was very friendly and we felt really welcome. The smaller rooms are perfect for cat lovers, there are 3 nice cats waiting to be petted. WiFi was good in the house, but not at the river. There is good LTE reception though. The breakfast was delicious, after months of having bread and jam it was nice to have a Syrian breakfast and excellent Arabic coffee with cardamom. We sometimes walked the half hour to Mindo, which feels safe, even at night. When it rained we took a taxi for about 3 or 4 dollar.

It would be nice if WiFi would be extended to the small houses at the river.

Our cabin with back porch was fabulously located at the rivers edge so that you always heard the rushing water. Grounds are beautiful. Syrian couple was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Located a mile and half from town and immediately adjacent to butterfly garden.

Location besides the river. The hosts were very kind, we could use there washing machine without any costs.

It wasn’t very clean. There was a lot of dust and dead insects around. The sheets are synthetic and are pretty uncomfortable. The cabin could’ve used a good clean up.

The hosts were incredible! Such a wonderful place. Awesome food

Very nice location. Clean and comfortable cabins near the river with a lovely view. Very kind and attentive hosts. Great breakfast served.

Absolutely no complaints.
