• Nancy (yangsi) (9/5): The host was incredibly kind and welcoming - We really enjoyed our two-night stay here. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming—she arranged transportation to pick us up from Quito and provided detailed information and recommendations for tours in Mindo. We truly felt at home. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, and you can spot so many birds right from the lobby area. We’ll definitely be coming back next time! No
• david (9/5): above expectations - nicely decorated, good breakfasts, and very nice staff and beautiful setting. all good
• Diana (10/5): -
• Angelgonval (8/5): Dormir en el bosque - El hotel está a la salida de Mindo, en una zona muy tranquila, pero a un paso del centro. Una habitacion con vistas increibles al bosque, asi como desde la zona de bar/comedor. Desayuno correcto, con opciones ecuatoriana e internacionales. Tambien tienen bar todo el dia y sándwiches. El personal es superamable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar en lo que sea, desde gestionar actividades hasta dar consejos sobre otros lugares de Ecuador. El único pero, fue la cama. En este caso era demasiado corta, y si mides mas de 1,80, se te saldran los pies :(
• Nancy (9/5): - Hotel was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Location convenient to town. So nice beside the stream! Lots of birds.
• Mario (10/5): Woow - Très bien mais je suggère une couverture chauffante pour enlever l humidité Pas de chauffage
• Ewa (10/5): Fantastic - Big comfy bed, delicious breakfast with a different ecuadorian option (next to continental) every day, waking up and seeing hummingbirds and tucans outside of your window. Everything beautifully decorated and clean. Umbrellas available, drinking water, coffee and tea available for free and complete silence even though its a 5 minute walk from town.
• Grant (10/5): Perfect place in Mindo - Having breakfast with the birds is a transcendent experience
• Hilary (10/5): -
• Daniela (10/5): - Gran hospedaje, cerca de todo. El lugar muy cómodo y bien mantenido! El personal muy atento y presto para ayudarte. Desayuno 10/10. Completamente recomendado!
• Linda L (10/5): A delightful stay in a welcoming hotel. - The Margarit is one of the most delightful places I have ever stayed. It has a wonderful lounge area that opens to the the outside where birds congregate to show off their colors and songs. The owner, Margarit is so friendly and welcoming along with her staff. We felt like we were in someone's home! There is nothing I did't like!
• Charlotte (10/5): Beautiful place to rest - Very nice location and beautiful hotel. Shower was big and had hot water. Bed was very comfy and the room was very big. The common space/restaurant was very nice because you looked out at the trees and all the birds. The food was also very nice here
• Joey (10/5): Amazing! - The hotel is really amazing! Everything looks nice and is very clean. The staff is super friendly and loves to help you with anything. The food is extremely good! We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, everything was delicious! Also the location is perfect, close to the centre of Mindo. We had an amazing time here!
• Sergio (10/5): Un lugar limpio, cómodo y familiar - La amabilidad de Margarita, que el hotel estaba impecable, la ubicación tranquila pero cercana al centro. La cama y las almohadas son comodísimas, la ducha sale caliente y con presión. No pudimos quedarnos a desayunar porque tuvimos que salir muy temprano a un tour, sin embargo, nos prepararon unos sándwiches. En la recepción hay un comedero de pájaros lleno de tangaras de colores y colibríes. Una maravilla. En definitiva, todo fantástico. Todo me gustó
• Marina (10/5): Espetacular - Localização maravilhosa, imersa no bosque de Mindo é muito perto para caminhar até a rua principal ou chegada dos ônibus. Café da manhã perfeito com opções e muito capricho. Equipe muito atenciosa e solícita.
• FinnClubEcuador (9/5): - Тяжело настроить горячую воду в душе в 103 номере. Либо холодная, либо очень горячая.
• Ana (9/5): - Do ambiente, da localizaçao, da simpatia e uma optima relaçao qualidade preço Nada
• Linda (10/5): -
• Veronica (10/5): - El jardín lleno de árboles y pájaros, el desayunador, la habitación y los detalles de decoración: pinturas, murales, y muebles. Muy bellamente pensado
• Denis (10/5): Great stay at the Margarit Hotel made all the better by great facilities and helpful welcoming staff - Great location very comfortable beds and very friendly and helpful staff. Margarita was so helpful she made our stay really special giving us advice on how to make the most of our time in Mindo and helping us with booking taxis. Lovely breakfast with views of the humming birds. Nothing.
• EvaAm (10/5): Top Hotel! - Tolles Hotel. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Terrasse zum Vögelbeobachten ist wunderschön. Uns wurde bei allem geholfen und Touren und Shuttle organisiert. Frühstück ist top. Wir würden immer wieder kommen. :)
• Oren (10/5): All good gracias - Location food
• maryannns (10/5): Wonderful stay at Margarit Boutique hotel - Lovely little hotel right in the center of Mundo. The main living and dining area is open to the incredible garden in the back with feeders for birds and hummingbird feeders and you can hear the the fast flowing River. Our hostess Margarita was wonderful as were all her staff. The breakfasts were excellent with lots of choices and we ate all three dinners there. Our room was large. The beds were great as was the bathroom with lots of hot water. With Margarita's help e were able to do a fabulous bird watching tour as well as go on our own via taxi to the butterfly center and a place to watch hummingbirds and have them feed right out of your hand. It rains a lot in Mindo at least at the end of November, so be prepared with waterproof jackets and warm clothing. We were able to borrow umbrellas and a hair dryer which really helped. Margarita also arranged for an excellent driver to take us back to Quito. Nothing
• Clotilde (10/5): Un super séjour dans un havre de nature - L’accueil de Margarita qui est exceptionnellement chaleureux. Elle est particulièrement aidante dans les suggestions d’activités alentours et pour toute question susceptible d’aider ses hôtes. On se sent comme chez soi avec une chambre confortable, joliment décorée et nickel. Nous avons pu observer de nombreux oiseaux de notre chambre et de l’espace commun, au bord de la rivière. Le petit déjeuner est très bon et idem pour le dîner si l’on souhaite dîner sur place. On est en quelques minutes à pied du coeur du village. Rien, nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps !
• Willan (9/5): Satisfactoria - Me gustó el restaurante, el personal amable, la estación de café a disposición. La vista de aves. Un poco encerrada la habitación familiarque nos tocó. Podrían ampliar ventanas o quizás un balcón.
• Nicole (10/5): -
• Sabrina (10/5): -
• Joelle (9/5): - Het bed was super groot. Het uitzicht op de tuin met vogels was elke keer weer genieten! Kleinschalig hotel met alles wat je nodig hebt. Er viel niets tegen.
• Daniel (9/5): UN LUGAR MUY BONITO PARA DESCONECTAR. - Cambiaron mi habitación familiar por una matrimonial aprovechando que tenían disponibilidad, aunque solo fue una noche fue increíble. la próxima vez reservare con anticipación. Muchas gracias. El agua caliente, no se regula bien y tuvimos inconvenientes para ducharnos. Sale agua caliente del grifo, pero después de unos instantes se enfría sin razón.
• Mario (7/5): Nice and small hotel. A bit overpriced - Small hotel. Beautiful dining area, open and right next to tree tops, so you get to see lots of birds while having breakfast. Good cocktails. If you get a river view room, you don't get to see much of the river, but just like in the dining area, you have a great view of the trees and a big window that you can open. You do get to listen to the river. Good location, just a few minutes walk to town center Honestly the place was fine in general. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. But, I think the place is too expensive for what it is. We paid 98usd for one night, but you can probably get the same experience for around 50usd in other places nearby. King size bed was a two joining double bed situation, and that's usually fine, but here you could really feel the middle of the bed and it wasn't that confortable. Pillows also weren't great
• Glenda (10/5): Genial! - Todo esta limpio y el personal muy amable y amigable! N/a
• Cristian (10/5): -
• Wayne (10/5): Excellent - A lovely hotel with great staff.
• momy (10/5): מצויין - מלון קטן ובייתי, מאוד נח לשהייה במינדו, צוות מאוד נחמד. ארוחת הבוקר טעימה. חניה צמודה וחדר גדול ומואר (בעיקר החדרים שפונים לנהר.
• Diego (10/5): Great value, staff and facilities - Everything Nothing
• Matthew (10/5): Delightful in all ways. - Great breakfast. Short walk to all of town. Awesome bird watching. Lovely helpful host and staff. Attractive lobby/common area.
• Evgenia (9/5): - Very friendly and responsive host Margarit gave us tips on the town and was flexible with our check-out time. I recommend taking a room with a view to the river. We enjoyed our quiet stay there on weekdays. It was amazing to wake up and see all kinds of birds!! The hotel is modern and well designed, reflecting the bird environment right in the jungle. Highly recommended!
• Jörg (10/5): Excellent! - Ein großartiges Hotel, man tut alles für ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Die Kolibrishow ist einmalig hier. Und: ein super Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Es gibt kein besseres Hotel in Ecuador.
• Laura (8/5): You won’t be disappointed staying at Margarit Hotel. Very safe and quaint. - This is a very sweet hotel. Breakfast is served overlooking the woods and river so you can enjoy the birds and nature sounds as you eat. The staff are very attentive and willing to please. This is a small hotel with a few rooms so you won’t be overwhelmed with large amounts of people. Nothing. We plan to return in the future.
• Pablo (10/5): -
• Fernanda (10/5): - Das Hotel ist sehr schön eingerichtet und sehr gut gelegen. Alles ist sauber und die Betten sind sehr bequem. Margarita ist ein Schatz! Sie hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und uns sehr gute Tipps in der Gegend gegeben. Das Frühstück ist großzügig und lecker. Es gibt eine dauerhafte Kaffeestation. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse auf die Vögel ist sehr schön!
• Pierre (10/5): Paradise in nature - The view from our very comfortable room was fantastic. The breakfast very good and the birding tour with Julia an excellent experience. Margareta has built a gem in Mindo.
• Freddy (10/5): Excelente - Las instalaciones cómodas y limpias, rodeada de naturaleza y un sonido relajante del estero, indicado para desconectarse del stress citadino, súper recomendado Todo perfecto
• Julia (10/5): Warm friendly small hotel close to town which makes getting around easy. Lovely courtyard area where we ate our deliciou - Perfect location to town. A special tranquil place run by friendly helpful people. Loved everything
• Lauren (10/5): Exceptional - The property was beautiful and so thoughtfully designed. Room 1 had a gorgeous overlook into the forest, and you can't beat the king-sized bed and rainfall shower head. The staff were so kind and helpful for whatever activities we wanted to do while in Mindo. I can't recommend enough! N/A - truly everything exceeded our expectations.
• Judith (10/5): Wonderful Mindo stay - Margarita and her team are exceptional. Welcoming. Attentive. Informative. The location is excellent. The open restaurant looks into the jungle garden with large numbers of colourful birds. The place is modern. They arranged trips for us. We booked three nights but ended up staying five nights and were reluctant to leave. The entire Mindo experience was wonderful. Small friendly town, accessible cloud forest activities.
• Zymsin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paula (10/5): Wonderful stay in Mindo - We wished we could have stayed longer at this wonderful hotel in Mindo! It is essentially in town so a perfect, quiet location. The layout of the hotel makes bird watching a lovely perk, the food is excellent, beds are very nice and staff is wonderful. It's the perfect mix of modern and immersed in nature.
• Omar (10/5): Great place! - It was clean, the location was great and the people super kind.
• Guilherme (8/5): Fantastic little hotel! - The hotel was absolutely adorable and very clean. The breakfast was so peaceful as we looked out onto hummingbirds and the jungle. The staff was so friendly and kind. This is a beautiful hotel if you have the chance to stay, take it! There's no TVs in the room, which isn't necessarily an issue, but something to be aware of.
• Benedikt (10/5): Very nice modern and clean little Hotel with excellent breakfast and call Position in Mindo. -
• Lydia (10/5): Brilliant, highly recommend. - The hotel was clean, comfortable, quiet and safe. It was perfectly situated, close to the centre of town but also easy to get to activities in the forest. The food was home cooked and absolutely delicious, and the rooms were very comfortable. I slept so well during my stay! I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Mindo.
• Lorrie (9/5): We Loved Margarit’s Hotel! - Large bright rooms and open reception/breakfast area are all optimal for watching the birds. Breakfast is delicious with coffee and tea available all day. The staff are professional, friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed and bedding. The humidity in the cloud forest is very high. A fan in the rooms would be helpful in keeping clothing dry. Nothing dries in the room including bath towels. After 4 days all our clothes were musty.
• Orozco (9/5): Superb -
• Marie (10/5): Exceptional - The location is great. A few minutes outside of the main quarters. The breakfast and staff were amazing. The hotel was always clean and felt so so cozy ! Loved it A hairdryer in the rooms would be nice :)
• Orozco (9/5): Superb -
• Maureen (10/5): Faultless Stay - Our stay in Margarit Boutique Hotel exceeded our expectations. The central communal space was wonderful, with a close up view of the hummingbirds feeding a few feet away. Margarit gave us a warm welcome and showed us to our beautiful room which was far more gorgeous than expected. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were exceedingly helpful. We booked a Bird Watching Tour that Margarit organised for us and it was everything we hoped it would be. The location of the hotel was also excellent. Everything was perfect!
• Joseph (10/5): Exceptional - What an incredible stay at this charming boutique hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, going above and beyond to help us plan our Mindo adventures. Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and offered a wonderful view of the surrounding forest. The breakfast was a highlight - delicious and varied with fresh Ecuadorian and continental options, complete with fruit, yogurt, and granola. But the real magic happened at the bird feeders! We were mesmerized by the stunning array of hummingbirds and local bird species that visited during our morning meal. The hotel’s location on the edge of Mindo is perfect, and they were incredibly helpful in arranging our return transportation to Quito airport. The common areas are beautifully designed, offering a relaxing space to unwind after a day of exploring the cloud forest. Highly recommend Margarit Boutique Hotel for anyone visiting Mindo - you won’t be disappointed! It was all good.
• Janelle (10/5): Saw as many birds here as we saw on our birding excursion! - Small boutique hotel with only 4 rooms. The common area opened onto the forest where many birds and hummingbirds were attracted to the feeders. Fun to watch the action during meals. Our room opened onto the forest and we could leave the doors open to hear the river all night long. Service from Margarit was exceptional. Be sure to try her desserts! The hotel has good security features too. A lockbox for passports and cash would be a good addition
• Neiki (10/5): An exceptionally special place - Margarita, Nicole, Marcela and everyone else I encountered during this stay was an absolute gem. The stay and the room were already lovely but when I got sick, the team took it to the next level. They were available on whatsapp 24/7, they came and assisted me, brought me tons of water and what medicine they had along with extra blankets, in the morning set me with an English-speaking driver to take me to the local medical center and translate for me, made stomach-friendly food for me, and more. I don't know how I would have handled all of this anywhere else I stayed in Mindo and am so appreciative of the kindness, care and attention. Hopefully you're not sick when you come here and you can just enjoy Margarit's food, hummingbirds, and spacious and comfortable rooms. Think mosquitos came in a little through the cracks of the window/door based on my bites.
• Indre (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yoram (9/5): Superb - Warm hospitality, fine breakfast, beautiful birds and trees, comfortable room. Morning shower is not hot enough. A 25$ charge for a laundry bag (regardless of its size) is unacceptable.
• N (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Mindo! - Friendliness and kindness of all the staff - especially Josslyn and Margarit. Josslyn organised a bird spotting tour for us late the night before. The room opened up to the rainforest - really special! Comfortable beds and great shower. Very good breakfast. Wonderful dining area open to the rainforest and gorgeous hummingbirds! Secure parking for our motorbike.
• Mirvic (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (10/5): Clean and comfortable place to stay if you love Hummingbirds - Very new, well designed, attractive and very clean. Great location close to town. Lots of birds to watch from the dining area. Margarita was a great hostess and very helpful when planning our day trips. Breakfast and other meals were very good.
• Sharon (10/5): So peaceful and the views amazing - Everything was perfect. Leo was amazing kind and helpful with things to see and do. Even went out of his way to get the ingredients for our favourite cocktail. Nothing
• Otha (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great, staff is outstanding, rooms are clean safe very comfortable.
• Mihir (10/5): Exceptional - Room No.1 is excellent, especially for birders! Margarita was exceptional, very helpful and guided us in the right direction on all information. A+, look no further if you are planning a trip to Mindo! Breakfast was super tasty 😋
• Jorge (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): The birds come to you😃 - Excellent hotel if possible I would’ve given it an 11 All good

• Becky (10/5): Exceptional - This is a haven in Mindo. The location is perfect, just outside the main area and easy and safe to walk around. The decor is homely and modern. The people were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough to help me enjoy my time in Mindo. Very knowledgable about the local area and bird life. Helped me to booked transport so I felt safe as a solo female traveller. This is the place you should choose to stay in Mindo if you want a friendly, local experience that feels luxurious and safe. Thank you so much for making my Mindo experience a fantastic one :-)
• John (10/5): A wonderful find in Mindo ... I plan to stay here again next time. Highly recommended! - Location is great - close to central mindo, yet far enough away for a quiet stay. Margarita and her staff were very warm, welcoming, and helpful. They were also accommodating to give me a late breakfast after an early birdwatching tour. The open social area is wonderful, with green views and many colorful birds to appreciate. Spacious and comfortable room. n/a
• Matthew (9/5): Superb -
• Eduardo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Celeste (10/5): Don’t skip magical Mindo! - I loved staying at Margarit Boutique Hotel, it was a highlight of my seven week trip. The hotel is spotlessly clean, so comfortable, and so much thought has gone into the beautiful design. I literally watched the hummingbirds and other varieties for hours. It’s in a peaceful location on the edge of the town, felt very safe and walkable for a solo traveller. It was easy to get to from Quito Airport, and the perfect place to relax before or after an active adventure tour! They had lots of activity suggestions, and the breakfast was my favourite of my trip. Margarit and all the staff are lovely, shoutout to Ana and Valeria <3 Thank you team for a wonderful visit!
• B (10/5): Highly recommended! - Amazing birds just outside the open lobby. The staff was incredibly gracious and helpful. The room was stunningly beautiful. Very close walking distance to town, very nice to be just outside of town. Nothing - it was perfect in every way
• Kate (10/5): Cannot recommend highly enough. - This property is absolutely beautiful. A few minutes walk from town, the common area and rooms are stunning and we felt so relaxed and well taken care of during our stay. Margarit and her staff were all so lovely and helpful with making recommendations and booking tours/taxis. The breakfast was delicious, our favourite of the trip so far. There was nothing not to like
• Thomas (10/5): This quickly becomes the second home you never imagined!! - Location is excellent - minutes to get anywhere and no dogs making noise; hotel is new and very well thought out. Super clean; Staff is very professional and knowledgeable on the area. Food is very very good. Hummingbirds on the covered deck are incredible! So so happy we stayed here!
• Amy (9/5): Superb - Very clean and bright rooms, a great common space, and lovely staff. Would recommend!
• Lynn (10/5): Carolina was the best hostess! - Very new and modern. A short walking distance from the center of town. Quiet and peaceful. Comfortable bed. Hot water in shower.
• Lisag328 (10/5): Very pleasant stay! - We liked the hotel location, a couple of blocks past downtown, away from noise. The hotel staff, especially Margarita, was very friendly and gave us good advice on what sites to visit and at what time of day. Our rooms were large, clean with super-comfy beds. There was plenty of hot water in the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, eggs prepared to order, and some delicious yuca tortillas with cheese. Service was quick, friendly and accommodating. Overall a a very nice stay.
• Andres (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martin (10/5): great stay, easy to wal - The breakfast was excellent with a nice view. The location is very close to the city center and restaurants, but sourroudings are quiet. Staff is very friendly, only 4 rooms, so the service was very personalized.
• Daniela (10/5): Loved this place! - Breakfast was great and the entire staff was so kind!
