“Great balcony for watching birds”
Amazing balcony overlooking trees which was great for looking at birds. Staff were friendly and was around 20 min walk down into town (25 back up!) or you can get a moto taxi!

I liked everything waking up to the view eating a really good breakfast on the terrace. The location was excellent, but for me, the best thing was the staff and Julio, the owner they catered for my every need was so helpful and friendly. I will definitely return and can't recommend enough

“Good for people who love nature and are not too exact with cleanliness”
Exceptional personnel but no warm water/shower and not for someone who needs it clean. The view was amazing

“Perfect setting”
The setting was beautiful; perfect. It was peaceful with birdfeeders attracting all kinds of birds - lots of hummingbirds and even saw a toucan. Staff were attentive and friendly and my room was extremely clean.

The best things about this place is the view and the staff. The valley below is gorgeous, especially in the morning. José was a great host and helped us out with various questions throughout our stay. The Hostal has a very friendly vibe. I also recommend visiting the waterfalls in the area, especially Cascada Perdida and Oido del Mundo which are less crowded.

The view from the terrace is outstanding! There are binoculars you can use to spot birds. The owner helped to spot some toucans, and there are feeders for hummingbirds so you can constantly see them.

“Lovely stay with mountain views”
We loved relaxing on the balcony of this comfortable stay. The view of the mountains was stunning. The staff were super kind and helped us a lot. We liked using their private path to the river to swim. All of the food we ate here was delicious! The location was close to Pozo Azul and other waterfalls we didn't visit. We found the walk to Minca town took about 25 minutes with our kids, but on the way we spotted howler monkeys one day.
