Guest Reviews
- Carina (8/5): - Geräumiges Zimmer, schöne Frühstücksterrasse mit Kolibris, abwechslungsreiches Frühstück (Obst, Rührei, Pancakes), liebevoll bemalte Wände, sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir konnten unser Auto auf einem abgeschlossenen Parkplatz direkt neben dem Hotel parken. Das große Gebäude wirkt teilweise etwas dunkel und düster speziell im unteren Geschoss. Manche Gemeinschaftsbereiche wirken etwas vernachlässigt und könnten gepflegter sein.

- Agathe (10/5): - Biohostal est un superbe hôtel pour séjourner à Mindo. On est dans l'ambiance dès le petit déjeuner avec les colibris qui prennent le leur avec nous ! Le lit est tres confortable et la chambre lumineuse. Je rajouterai peut-être des crochets dans la salle de bain et dans la chambre pour permettre d'accrocher les affaires, notamment celles qui ont besoin de sécher (serviettes de bain, serviettes de plage, maillots de bain ...) et une lampe de chevet pour le côté du lit qui n'en a pas.
- Brenda (9/5): Great room with a fabulous breakfast and easy bird views - Excellent breakfast, bird feeders provided lots of entertainment, and the room had lots of storage and counter space. Bar near by can be noisy
- Lilian Klara (10/5): -
- Jackosc2 (9/5): Great value for money. - This place was brilliant, got to check in early, you pay in cash on arrival. Room was big and the bed was massive. Room was clean with fresh bedding. On the first afternoon we saw a toucan in the tree on the 3rd floor, and due to the feeders we saw an insane amount of hummingbirds. Plenty of space to relax or cook, we always had really hot water at the tap and shower, with free soap, shampoo and conditioner. The staff were also very polite and thoughtful, room was cleaned during our stay also. The breakfast was really good, bowl of mixed fruit, yogurt and some granola. Then you got eggs (fried or scrambled), plantain and a croissant, every morning. Also, free coffee, tea (herbal/black). The owner was super kind and helpful, they couldn't do enough for us. We requested an early breakfast one day and that was done bang on time, on our final day we left really early and the owner was up and had made us a packed breakfast to take (fruit in a container and more than usual amount of croissants) Unbelievably kind. We loved our stay and it was very close to the centre. Also it wasn't too far to walk to get to the other attractions. Only thing we noticed was no fridges were turned on so we didn't have anywhere to keep food chilled, there was a freezer that was cooled with ice bricks which did the trick for the 4 days.
- andrango (10/5): Great place - The place was clean, neat, and comfortable surrounded by hummingbirds it was beautiful. The food served at breakfast was healthy and filling. The staff was very kind and friendly. They helped to get around and suggested activities in the area.
- Rodrigue (7/5): Sympathique et correcte pour une nuit. - Le personnel est accueillant et l’emplacement idéal, proche du centre et calme. Très bon petit déjeuner dans un cadre nature. Hôtel très rustique et pas un bon rapport qualité prix. Apparence des tuyauteries dans la salle de bain. Hôtel bruyant et pas très propre.
- Aline (10/5): Week-end reposant entouré d’oiseaux et de papillons - Le charme du lieu beaucoup d’espace,chambres spacieuses,grand étage ouvert pour le petit déjeuner très bon. Côté rue un peu bruyant :les quads en fin d’après-midi qui rentrent de balade,les camions le matin Salle de bain à rénover(pommeau de douche,rideau de douche vieillot,plafond avec traces d’humidité) Petit dej:manquent toasts,beurre,confiture (pour satisfaire les européens !) Rapport qualité /prix un peu élevé (mais tout est cher à Mondi !)
- Nathali (10/5): - El desayuno y la vista de animales estuvo hermoso
- Emily (8/5): Good location/room but some confusing communication - Staff were pleasant and the location was quiet yet central. Watching hummingbirds during daylight hours was spectacular. Hot water, comfortable bed. Good breakfast the second day. Their site says they can do a gluten free breakfast but they struggled with this, especially the first day despite a lot of guidance from me on what would be safe. I definitely got much less food than other people and had to supplement. Likewise I asked their advice for a bird tour and specifically mentioned I wanted to see hummingbirds, as it is the hummingbird capital of the world, but the tour didn’t include any hummingbirds and was changed at the last minute since there weren’t enough people. I wasn’t offered a different day or tour option and it seemed there was confusion with the first guide as well as they asked if I had paid him and made it sound like I made the changes. So, communication wasn’t great despite the fact that I speak Spanish well.
- Abigail (10/5): - gracias por una estancia perfecta! (:
- Hong (1/5): The furniture is broken and very dirty，and last resident socks are still here - Very bad. Very dirty Raise awareness of service
- Diane (8/5): Lovely relaxing stay, with great breakfasts and lovely staff. - We were disheartened when we arrived. They weren’t expecting us and there was a lot of construction work going on but the staff were lovely, the breakfasts were the best we had in Ecuador and sitting on the balcony watching the hummingbirds was very relaxing.
- Madhuri (9/5): Superb -
- Eliana (8/5): Very good -
- Louise (10/5): A great place to stay and relax - close to center of town and near the edge to be able to attract birds to the trees and feeders. wonderful breakfast she's the third floor is so relaxing to sit and watch the birds.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sonya (8/5): We loved the close-up view of birds while having a local coffee. Will be back. - The location was fantastic to see birds literally sitting at the breakfast table or getting up at 6 am you can see even more types of birds. As a bonus, they have free coffee even if you don't order breakfast. So we could take our own bread or fruit and have their coffee. The shower was fantastic and the beds very comfortable. There was some type of animal in the roof that began to make noise early in the morning.
- Emma (8/5): Fantastic stay! - Spacious room and very comfy bed! Terrace for breakfast and relaxing in is a highlight with all the birds that visit. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Good location that is quiet but close to the centre of the town. Check-in only until 5pm which is tricky on the afternoon bus from Quito but staff were very accommodating when we contacted about this. Also no access to kitchen facilities to make breakfast until after 9am if you want to make your own, but no problem of course if you opt for breakfast included :)
- Mia (6/5): Pleasant - It is big and you can observe Colibris from the balcony. The value doesn't match the price. It looks dead. We practically never saw a receptionist. There were small ants in the room and on one of the beds.
- Natalia (9/5): So Mindoey - You get to do some spontaneous birdwatching. The staff could be nicer (I just don't know how- they're even so kind to freinds of guests who ended up staying elsewhere for any reason). Nice, spotless beds, they have coffee/cocoa/tea layed out for you at the decked area :) The outdoor area could be a tad better iluminated at night- it was hard to see what you brought to eat, read, etc. by the tables.
- Zoe (9/5): Superb - Biohostal is a lovely and friendly place to stay. Watching the birds at breakfast and relaxing in the hammock area upstairs were highlights. They were very helpful with taxis and how to get the bus at a different location as the terminal in the middle of the town as the time for that bus didn't suit us. Gorgeous large beds and super comfortable. We were in a room close to the dining area and it was quite loud every morning at 6am.
- Janet (10/5): Beautiful place in Mindo - Beautiful terrace to watch birds Able to use kitchen. Clean rooms with hot water. Close to town Friendly host able to advise on local tours and things to do Have to pay by cash
- Daniel (9/5): Superb - Staff very friendly and good location. Very loud at night, bring earplugs
- Ana (10/5): great experience - excellent location, the room was clean and comfortable, the owners super friendly and helpful and a really good breakfast at a great price
- Matias (8/5): Very good -
- Toni (10/5): - Lovely place
- Linh (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful Hostal and helpful host.
- Kathleen (6/5): Good location in town. Friendly staff and amazing birdlife! - All the birds in the dining area were amazing! Rooms were decent size with ensuite. Huge bed, which was comfortable. Really dark in the stairwell and entrance. Pretty unattractive from the outside but was actually quite adequate inside.
- charlene (10/5): - This place is so awesome. It is cosy and comfy and spacious. The breakfast area is open with hummingbird feeders and a place for other birds to visit. The room was big and I had a big patio space that was sheltered with a wonderful breeze 15/10 would recommend
- Markus (10/5): Exceptional -
- Heather (9/5): Superb - The open terrace where we ate breakfast each day has multiple hummingbird feeders and loads of hummingbirds. We spent Christmas day photographing the birds and editing photos! Location is great - Mindo is a small place. It is easy to walk to anything within town and even to some fo the hiking locations. The breakfast (for a small added cost each day) is fulfilling. Staff is helpful in letting us know where things are and how to get to them. You can borrow rubber boots for free!There is a bar/nightclub nearby with extremely loud music playing very late into the night. Loud music nearby made sleep a difficult. Fortunately it wasn't every night, but maybe that was because it was over Christmas.
- David (8/5): Very good - Really nice location, and good value. Food was good and the bedroom and bathrooms were nice. We paid extra for breakfast but they didn’t have the stuff. Got some money back, but it was disappointing.
- Annalee (10/5): Highly recommend staying here!! - Where else can you breakfast with hummingbirds? Luis & Esperanza were so friendly and helpful. Worth buying your breakfast here. It was always delicious with something different every day.
- Debroh (8/5): Very good -
- Jared (7/5): Okay hostel - Good central location in Mindo with clean rooms The hostel was empty when we visited and the kitchen facilities were limited
- Polly (7/5): Good - Hammocks on the roof terrace were great for a rainy afternoon
- Rachel (8/5): Hummingbird roof terrace - Lovely rooftop and seating area where the hummingbirds come to feed, free coffee in the morning. Filtered water provided. Kitchen is ok All fine - slightly smelly bathroom and needed to use a fridge on different floor than the kitchen.
- Rachel (9/5): Superb - Rooftop with hummingbirds and dining tables. Close to town.
- Kopa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Audrey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jake (9/5): Superb -
- John (10/5): Exceptional - Nice people. Good breakfast. Lots of hang out areas to chill, visit and watch the many birds.
- Jonas (8/5): Very good - Very big and cosy rooms and a huge bed. Cool terrace and breakfast with birds flying around. Pretty bird paintings on the wall everywhere. It’s close to a night club. We spent the weekend here and on saturday the music continued till 4am. Not amazing for sleeping. Not the hostel‘s fault though.
- Erin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bradley (10/5): Exceptional - This was a lovely hostel in a great location in Mindo. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities provided were in great working order, the kitchen was great and the showers had hot water. The beds were comfortable and clean and the privacy curtains were a nice touch. During my stay it was a bit quiet so there wasn't as much atmosphere but the large area for hanging out would be excellent with more travellers staying there. Loved relaxing on the top floor, it was amazing to wake up and read a book in one of the hammocks and look out at the amazing view.
- Alina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (9/5): Great staff, good location, good value! - Friendly and helpful staff! Clean. Drinking water provided at no cost. Place to hang wet clothes. Big common area to relax in hammocks or use tables for laptops. Clean room, comfy bed, hot shower.
- Maayan (7/5): Good - Breakfast was delicious. Location right at the center of town was perfect.. Birdwatching deck was INCREDIBLE, even more amazing than what we were expecting, made the whole stay awesome, we saw a bunch of hummingbirds and other cool birds. Great view from upstairs on the roof. Inside of the place was a little crappy - not 100% clean, but abt what we expected for the price. Have to take a 10-15 min taxi to get to zip lining, hiking, etc because it’s a little far from the town.
- Jon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tan (10/5): Comfortable stay - Very fast customer service. I was able to get extra towels and laundry done. Private apartment bed is very comfortable and spacious. Enjoyed the daily American breakfast. The host and owner is very accommodating and helpful. Would love to stay here again. The 3rd floor bird viewing floor has a lot of tables and chairs for working remotely. Wifi is too slow for fast video calls.
- Jianyuan (8/5): Very good -
- Camilla (7/5): Good - Big, nice rooms with warm water. Good kitchen and good Wi-Fi.
- Hana (9/5): Lovely! - The dorm had 4 beds and it was very comfortable. The location is right off of the main avenue/street so right where the restaurants and shops are. The staff are absolutely lovely. Luis and Esperanza were very helpful and always available if I needed something.
- Lisa (5/5): Passable - The Hostel has a Lot of potential, the location is great and the Hostel is huge and has a terrace The terrace was not taken care of, like the rest of the place. It seems like a Ghost Hostel, as there were not a Lot of people or staff, everything was dark and the explanation of the place was not good. There were only 3 lockers per floor, with a Lot of places more
- Daina (8/5): Very good -
- אסף (6/5): Pleasant - Nice people, nice stuff, the room is ok, the rooftop is cool. Hot showers. The door in dorms is not locked! Thats basic! There is one bed without place to charge. The breakfast wasnt great for me and a bit expensive.
- Xander (10/5): Exceptional -

- Gonçalo (9/5): Superb -
- Tatiana (8/5): Very good -
- Morris (10/5): Lovely spot, amazing for birds - The breakfast area was amazing, being able to see all the birds. The breakfast was really good, room was very comfortable and the staff were lovely and really helpful. It was also really well located, far enough away from the centre to be quiet but only a 30 second walk to the main park. N/A
- Lady (10/5): I have a good stay at Biohostal, it’s very basic accommodation, towel , toiletries and hot water. it is really close to - close to the center 5 minutes walk. The owner ( I believe) she’s very helpful and kind. The 3rd floor is a birdwatching Heaven, so many hummingbirds and other bird species. Nothing. they have hot water, bed are comfortable.
- Angela (6/5): Nice terrace, but lacking in customer service - Nice terrace to watch the birds. Spacious room. No water in the evening. Nobody at reception to help. Had to call by telephone and eventually someone came to sort it out. No apologies or anything. Took 1 hr to finally get a warm shower. Next morning still no apologies or anything. The lady on reception said she didn't even know there had been a problem. Very noisy party which cumulated in street fighting outside the hotel.
- Clara (10/5): Great breakfast and location, so many colibrís :) - Great breakfast and location, so many colibrís :)
- Fernanda (9/5): Superb -
- Christian (10/5): Fantastic Stay in Mindo - Clean room, comfortable bed, hot shower, great location and hummingbirds at breakfast! Lovely spot
- Chris (8/5): Very good - Great location. Fantastic bird feeders so you can watch beautiful birds from inside the building when it is raining. Nice breakfast which was good value. The owner is lovely and helpful. Good value for money. We had a private room which was huge and the shower was hot and powerful. A little loud at night until about 11pm but not a problem with ear plugs or headphones. The pros out weigh this small con.

- William (8/5): Very good -
- Tanja (5/5): Passable - Location, breakfast, birds on a terrase Our room was not clean, on two beds we find dark long hair, so sheets probably werent changed. When I told them, they say it was new sheets.For that price would expect more. There was bad smell in room, because was just painted. Bathroom has a mold on the ceiling.
- Scott (10/5): enjoyed our daily walks from here! - perfect location and the hummingbirds from the balcony kept us endlessly entertained. would happily return
