Biohostal Mindo Cloud Forest

I felt completely at home with Luis and Esperanza my hosts. The space was very comfortable and the dining space open to the trees and the hummingbirds. I felt relaxed with the easy going energy and highly recommend it to people who like a casual and nature based feeling I’m going back whenever I’m in Mindo. I love Mindo!

A truely magical hostel, where you can enjoy the company of hundreds of hummingbirds, and many other spieces of birds while having breakfast. And have a view of the whole village from the mirador-like top floor. Esperansa, the owner welcomed us with kindness, and treated us with the nicest local coffee. We had a perfect time here, our room was comfortable and very fairly priced. I can only recommend

What a lovely place to stay! Having breakfast with the hummingbirds was amazing. Luis and Esperanza were so friendly and helpful. They made us a delicious breakfast every day. It was extra but worth it. Close to the centre of town and easy to get everywhere. A 4km walk to el jardín de mariposas was very worthwhile. Luis was kind enough to arrange for a taxi to pick us up there. Highly recommend staying here.

Very nice hostel at the edge of the Claudia forest. It feels like a tree house as it is sorrounded by trees. Loved the hammocks in the common area. The couple who runs the hostel is so friendly and helpful. I really recommend it

We stayed here for 2 nights during our time in Mindo. We were welcomed by the very friendly owner, who helped us sort out an activity plan for our 2 days to get the most out of it. He even helped us book activities. He speaks english very well, but the rest of the family/owners only speak Spanish. The breakfast was delicious and in wonderful surroundings and with a great view. Very good location. Rooms are very basic, but clean. The major downside was the ongoing noise from either barking dogs (all night long!) or the nearby school/sports facility and just common noise from the streets. I’m guessing the noise is probably a problem not specific for this place, and would therefore recommend anyways.

It's a simple Hostal, but does the trick. HE GOOD: - Very close to "downtown" - Great Breakfast (Crape with chocolate sauce, various fruits, bread, butter, jam, coffee and juice) in a beautiful terrace where lots of birds are flying around - Clean - Affordable - Big rooms - They have some tours to offer - Filtered water in the first floor - Great service THE BAD - There were a couple of nightclubs very close by, so it was a bit noisy at night - The shower was kind of bad - No nightstand light - VERY simple rooms. I don't mind it, but it might discourage older folks like me. VERDICT Great for the price, I would stay there again.
