Homestays in Mindo

La Chonta is unlike anywhere I’ve stayed before. Deep in the cloud forest, super quiet, and surrounded by nature. The room was simple but comfortable. Loved the vibe—totally off-grid and peaceful. Andres is the coolest host! Would definitely come back.

Stayed in the room with the bunk bed with our two kids. Fantastic hostel. Location was amazing, simply could not be better. Super eclectic. Host was very kind and helpful, we used Google Translate:) walls were thin, so you can hear the town noise, no an issue for us, but to be aware of. Loved all the places to just hang out and chill, the hammocks, couches, had such a great vibe.

Staff was really kind, and the hotel was clean and comfortable. It is as shown in the pictures.

The owner, Oswaldo, was wonderfully courteous and helped me with so many little things during my trip. He is a considerate, knowledgeable man and was willing to ask any questions I had and even drove me once to see some birds at a local spot when he had some free time. Part of his property in development with multiple stories next to the rooms offers the highest vantage point in Mindo for great views of the city. The rooms were very clean, and the hostal is perfectly located close to the city center and within walking distance of pretty much everything you would want to access in Mindo. The hostal has a nice central area with a garden and attached cafe where Oswaldo made breakfast each day.
