Reviews of Misahualli Laguna Paikawe B&B

Beautiful location on the Laguna. With the bridge into town gone it, feels like being out in the jungle and even walking along the road can provide interesting encounters with wildlife. Nice hammocks in the main esting area and a view our over the Laguna. Renting the canoe to go round the Laguna ($5pp) or getting a guided tour ($30) is well worth doing for the impressive range of wildlife you can see there including various monkeys, caimans, paiche, wild turkeys, many different birds and possibly snakes and turtles.

The place itself is basic but fine. You can access Misahualli across the river by free continuous cable car during the day and an arranged paid canoe at night (if you can find one). At the same time, with the bridge collapsed theres nothing much accessible in the evenings. No restaurants or bars and only one very basic shop. So make sure you eat before coming back! You will need to pay more for (basic) brekkie, to rent a canoe or do a tour. The people are nice but theres no way to access the laguna and surrounds without paying for services. It's a little frustrating that they dont want you walking around the laguna on your own. So I'd suggest 1-2 nights to get a good look around the laguna and maybe move elsewhere thereafter.

It's an absolute dream! And, as an avid birder and nature enthusiast, it was everything I could have wanted and more. So many species of birds, as well as 6 species of monkeys. It is run by a wonderful Kichiwa family. One of the local guides also showed me some elusive Black-banded Crake on the property. Canoe trips around the lake revealing some hidden creatures! Very cozy, quiet, and peaceful. Great kitchen and the hammocks!

Absolutely nothing! Maybe the best place I've ever stayed at!

the hostel is on beautiful lagoon, you can chill on the terrasse near the water and watching the birds....

I liked the location. It was quiet and very tropical. I enjoyed watching wildlife (mostly monkeys) from the deck. The owners were nice and the food was good.

There weren't any tables, etc in the room to put our stuff on. It was hot one night and we didn't have a fan in the room. I didn't feel safe floating down the Napo River with a life vest. There was a lot of boat traffic and the river was very muddy.

I stayed there for one night. Received good help at getting there. Many nice plants created a relaxing atmosphere, friendly host, nice sounds at night, clean, good boat ride and saw some interesting animals and plants.

a bit secluded from the main town so it's quiet at night and you can see and hear all the nature. situated directly at the lagoon which is incredibly sexy

Feels like being in the middle of the jungle, you can see a turtle, some fish, monkeys, various birds and more

Location: next to a forest laguna, close to the river and a indigenous community village, small shop and amazing restaurant around the corner Hospitable family, good value

The surroundings of the B&B is beautiful and very peaceful, you can hear the jungle to your room which I really much enjoyed. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Shared room was spacious, clean and the bathroom was nice with warm water. You have the view to the lagoon from the terrace which was very nice. There's a monkey hanging around the garden area which was fun ad super cute. Host will take you around the lagoon with good price too. Note that you need to take a canoa from the town to reach the hostel, you cannot walk. Also there is no good market in the area so make sure to do shopping in the town. However the trip with canoa is very short.

Kitchen was quite dirty with dirty dishes and old food laying around (there was no one else staying there at the time) which was a little bit annoying. Also there was some problems with lights and I had to cook in the dark.

Be prepared because it's not the typical fancy-ish hostel! You sleep with the sound of the birds, monkeys, and roosters! Everything was amazing and Leslie, the owner, is a great host! I would totally recommend, totally worth it for the price. Wish we had more time!

I really enjoy the location next to the lagoon and in the rainforest, as it was great to hear all the birds and monkeys when sleeping. Jungle noises were the best! Also the owners, Lesly and her husband, were very helpful, the food was delicious, and they were taking a good care of us and showing us their knowledge about rainforest. They helped us arrange tours in the jungle, swimming in Napo river and visiting indigenous community, so we were really grateful for that. Gracias por todo!

Great place to relax with a beautiful view from the terrace! We saw monkeys and birds and a caiman. Very friendly family and easy communication! Thank you very much!

the place seemed nice, with the laguna etc. got my money back though booking.com

I turned up and had a very strange experience. two men were wasted sitting there. one could not speak and the other could barely. I think it was quiet so they were enjoying themselves but the way they were and spoke to me gave me bad vibes. so annoyingly I left and had to find somewhere else. the

The location was nice

We didn't have water :(
