The nature around it is very beautiful and calms down. Teh breakfast was also very delicious and made with love. We enjoyed the big balcony and social area also as the opportunity to have a kitchen with a fridge.

“Magical place to stay in the jungle.”
Truly a magical experience out here at Temple 1. It’s a good 20 minutes walk into town but it’s a beautiful walk amongst the trees and some other ‘retreats’. We were just 4 of us, left there in the beautiful big timber building, verandas, views, binoculars, kitchen and plenty of space - truly magical. The lady only comes for breakfast, and she has no English, but we all survived and she is lovely.

The location was absolutely breathtaking! It’s located in the forest and you’re surrounded by beautiful plants and various animals like hummingbirds, toucans and if you’re lucky even Capybara! The place was very beautiful designed and the balconies are amazing. The staff was super helpful and friendly, they helped me organize a tour to see butterflies and birds. The breakfast was the best one I have had in Ecuador so far, I had a smoothie, fruit and an omelette. Thank you so much for the amazing stay!

“Nice quiet location but no atmosphere or people.”
Temple house 1 is in a beautiful location only about 12 mins walk from town which is definitely doable and something we did daily. The location is quiet and allows you to fully feel like you’re in the jungle with the sounds of all the birds and animals. During our stay we were one of only two couples at this hostel so it’s very quiet at the moment not sure if it’s out of busy season but there’s currently no atmosphere there

Lying in a hammock watching the birds, and then the rain. Feeling very smug because we'd brought dinner back with us to reheat in the kitchen, as there was a lot of rain!

“Gorgeous place. Lovely staff.”
Truly lovely place, with nice staff. The rooms are spacious and the beds are good. It's a treat to be able to chill out in the hammocks in the morning and see the cloud forest slowly wake up around you. Can recommend!

Temple 1 is a wonderful quiet retreat out of town, still walking distance to town, the staff are amazing, so helpful with arranging guides to visit local attractions. Breakfast is delicious with fresh juice, fruit and eggs. Also arranged our dinners which were also delicious. Hot showers and large room with patio. Host is very accomodating and helped out when we found no international atm in town. Highly recommend

Room we booked was huge and bright. Everything was clean and well prepared for us. Staying there with the nature all around was an amazing experience. You can relax on the big balcony and observe birds and other animals running around. Staff is very friendly and helpful with organising tours and adventures around Mindo.
