Guest Reviews
- Michelle (10/5): A really beautiful spot to spend a few days while seeing the wildlife and other attractions in the area - My positive review comes to some degree from the fact I had the place totally to myself for 3 of my 4 nights there so I really enjoyed the absolute peace and quiet after being in noisy city environments. The facilities were also very good and the staff lovely The driveway could do with some work but that’s about all
- David McCormick (9/5): - The property was clean and in a great location with easy access to town and the main attractions in Mindo. But, what was extra special was the staff. Stalin and Daniel took such good care of us. From booking airport transfers to local recommendations, they were right on point. I would not hesitate to “highly” recommend the Coffee Lodge to any adventurers seeking lodging recs for Mindo! There was nothing not to like!
- Agnes (8/5): - Das Hotel liegt ausserhalb des Zentrums und ist im letzten Teil über einen löcherigen Naturweg zugänglich. Das Areal wird gepflegt, Zimmer, Pool und Frühstücksterrasse sind prima.
- Gustavo (9/5): Muy bueno. - Servicio, limpieza, amabilidad La piscina estaba fría.
- Gloria (10/5): Paz y comodidad - Las instalaciones y el personal Un poquito el camino pedregoso, sería chevere que se unieran los lodge cercanos y adoquinaran
- Antonella (10/5): -
- verdugo (6/5): Perfect breakfast interview of your surroundings - We were surrounded by nature The shower did not stay consistent with hot water too hot or too cold
- Wayne (10/5): Loved this place - Beautiful room and setting, delicious breakfast, and the staff especially Daniel were very hospitable and accommodating to our requests
- Rodriguez (9/5): -
- Susan (10/5): - Beautiful place, great breakfast
- walteringmo (9/5): Awesome place - everything was good, no problems they asked me to pay before
- Palma Villegas (10/5): -
- Maria Cristina (10/5): Unforgettable and impeccable - We stayed for 1 night and it was the best experience for our first time staying in Mindo! The hotel staff were very accommodating and went above and beyond. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were very clean and spacious. We had told them the trip was to celebrate our father turning 88 and when we had arrived for breakfast the next morning, they had arranged balloons and flowers all on our table, it was truly thoughtful of them. The hotel hospitality was truly one that we won't forget. We will definitely be back and to stay for more days! Highly recommend! Nothing! Everything was amazing. No notes to give!
- Catherine (10/5): -
- J Davis (8/5): A comfortable, quiet spot off the beat path with excellent service. - Staff was awesome, food was excellent, beds were comfortable, rooms were spacious and well appointed. No A/C in the room.
- Deborah (10/5): Highly recommend staying here! - It was quiet, set just a 10 minute walk to the center of town, set in the jungle by a river. The room we stayed in was at the far end so we heard and saw nothing but jungle. The bed was very large and comfortable and there was daily room service. All of the staff were courteous and helpful. The breakfasts were great, and always slightly different, but included, fruits, granola, yogurt, bread, eggs and a local starch. The bird feeding stations were active and a variety of beautiful birds came to feed. Flavourful lunch and dinner could be had at the hotel, or from a variety of restaurants in the town. I highly recommend the bird guide “Danny” - ask at the desk and they will book him for you. Can’t think of anything.
- Henry (10/5): It’s was amazing , I’ve stayed there before and will stay another time . - It’s just a beautiful set up Everything about this property it’s great.
- LYDIA (9/5): Overall, it was a very nice stay. - The room The rooms were very nice and very quiet. I only stayed for one night, so I didn’t have time to enjoy the property’s amenities.
- Mariano (10/5): Excelente ubicación - La ubicación y la amabilidad El desayuno algo básico
- Gail (9/5): Quick trip to Mindo, wish we had more time to spend at this lovely property - Clean quiet with a beautiful breakfast. Staff was extremely helpful
- Moreira (5/5): - El desayuno, la piscina Y la ubicación es super tranquilo En la suite. El techo tenia goteras, el sol en la mañana pega demasiado fuerte en la habitación q no puedes descansar hasta mas tarde. El aire acondicionado no abastece y es una calor insoportable en la habitación, las paredes son vidrios pero como q no los han limpiado en meses xq estaban todos sucios, me estaba bañando y me quedé sin agua. La verdad en relación precio calidad hay mejores opciones .
- Mariano (10/5): Excelente ubicación - La ubicación, vistas y amabilidad El desayuno es mejorable

- George (10/5): Amazing place for my family! Delicious breakfast and cozy rooms. Super close to town and lots of coo - Amazing place for my family! Delicious breakfast and cozy rooms. Super close to town and lots of cool birds to see on property.
- Guido (9/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): - Walking distance into town, beautiful spot, extremely helpful staff, great food.
- Claudio (3/5): - It is Over value for the service.
- Carlos (10/5): TRANQUILUDAD - Excelente el desayuno Un poco de ruido en el techo de la cabaña. Sugiero podar las ramas de lis árboles.
- David (6/5): hermoso pero falta poco el servicio - la naturaleza y jacuzzi Horarios de desayuno y cena. El desayuno no se sirve antes de las 8:30 a. m. Quienes visitan Mindo quieren salir para sus excursiones y otras actividades al aire libre antes de las 8:00 a. m. Sería mejor ofrecer el desayuno a partir de las 6:30 o 7:00 a. m. Había una cafetera en la habitación, pero no había café. Solo había una bolsita de té para dos personas. Irónico, ya que el hotel se llama "Coffee Lodge". Tuvimos que comprar café instantáneo en el mercado porque no podíamos esperar hasta las 8:30 a. m., cuando empieza el desayuno. Hay que pedir la cena por la tarde. No lo sabíamos, y el gerente fue grosero cuando llegamos a cenar. Tuvimos que irnos a buscar otro restaurante a las 7:00 p. m.
- Monica (10/5): - The hotel is a paradise!
- Analy (9/5): Naturaleza y relax - El desayuno es muy bueno y completo. La cantidad de jardines, mariposas y aves que se pueden apreciar dentro del hotel. Desde la terraza de mi habitación se podía escuchar el río. La piscina tenía una temperatura agradable. La habitación estaba muy bonita y limpia El lugar donde se reciben los masajes está al lado de la piscina, por lo que se escucha a la gente que está ahí. Ojalá, en un futuro, puedan moverlo a un lugar un poco más apartado y silencioso
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christopher (10/5): This place exceed my expectations, and looked nicer than the photos I saw online. A perfect find. - The breakfast was big and tasty and a large bowl of fruit on a deck overlooking the garden. The area is at the end of the road so it’s quiet. Nice pool and green garden feeling secluded. Very nice staff, clean room. Short walk to town. The coffee. Ceiling lights strangely glowed at night cause some light in the room.
- Li (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (10/5): Enjoyed the time there -
- Christine (9/5): Superb -
- Katy (9/5): Perfect compromise between being close to the town but also surrounded by nature and birdsong - Tranquil and peaceful, feels like you’re in the middle of the jungle but still within walking distance of town centre. Excellent breakfast. Only wish there was good TV in the rooms but if you’re there to relax and enjoy nature then I guess it doesn’t really matter.
- Dana (8/5): Beautiful Jungle Oasis with Delicious Breakfast Awaits You! - Beautiful little oasis in Mindo. Quiet location but still walking distance into town. The breakfast was outstanding, fresh and delicious with peaceful green views and birds. We had a massage which was a bit pricey, but good quality. We brought our dog and the property was very kind and accommodating for her. We would definitely stay again and use the pool which looked refreshing but we didn’t make time to use it! While we didn’t mind the walk into town for meals or exploring, However climbing the dirt hill up could be challenging for some people and a car might be desirable when raining.
- Simon (9/5): Superb - The location is beautiful, the room is spacious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good. The swimming pool is a bit small and cold. The food in the restaurant is not very good. It's better to go out (but you need a car).
- Marcy (10/5): We loved Mindo and our lodging was fantastic! - The property is beautiful. It’s quiet at the end of a dead end road. It’s easy to get to and only a $2-3 cab ride from town. The pool was a hit with all ages in our group. The beds are comfortable. The showers are hot. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and freshly prepared onsite. The cocktails are yummy. The birds flying around at breakfast & dinner we’re gorgeous. It’s very close to most of the activity centers. A ceiling fan would help since there are no air conditioners. It can be hot during the day, but the evenings are beautifully cool.
- Lyric (10/5): A perfect blend of delicious food, attentive service, and breathtaking views for an unforgettable st - My stay at this hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. The food was incredibly delicious; every meal felt like a special treat. The staff was exceptionally accommodating and attentive, truly kind and caring individuals who make this place what it is. The atmosphere of the hotel is simply breathtaking. The views alone leave a lasting, tranquil impression. The combination of wildlife, animals, and plants creates a harmonious blend of natural beauty and luxury. One of the highlights of my stay was the soothing massage I received—it was so relaxing that I nearly fell asleep. The hotel's location is perfect, within walking distance of everything Mindo has to offer in terms of tourism and culture. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a serene and luxurious experience. i had some issues connecting to the wifi, but nothing so inconvenient that it detracted from the quality of my stay. my only regret is not booking my stay for a few more days.
- Mary (10/5): Apartment exceeded expectations, very nice stay. - The apartment was amazing with an incredible view overlooking the forest. The hotel was located very close to the main section of town - we chose to mostly walk, however taxis were available if needed. The food was very nice, both breakfast and dinner. The host and staff at the hotel were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely stay again. - Luke and Mary
- Kasia (8/5): Lovely grounds in a great location - Beautiful property with heated pool. Staff member, Washington, was great at getting whatever services we were looking for. Short on staff. Power out for about 4 hours the night before my flight-this was more likely due to Ecuador energy shortages not the facility itself. No shampoo or conditioner which I expected for the price I paid.
- Johannes (7/5): Good - Friendly staff, nice breakfast, we had a room in the far corner which was nice and quiet. Steep dirt road leading up to the hotel which is not convenient when you drive a rental car. Water in shower was either way too hot or very cold.
- Apurva (10/5): Fantastic place to stay in Mindo. Don’t think twice to book - Fantastic location overlooking the cloud forest. Our room had large floor to roof glass windows which was breathtaking. The entire staff was excellent and Washington - the chef + care taker was just great. We even did the tasting menu and Washington made all vegetarian Ecuadorian courses which was a treat I would stay here again in a heartbeat… Nothing
- Torrie (7/5): Very beautiful place with a few kinks to work through. Incredible views and very clean. - We booked the lake view suit and felt totally immersed in the cloud forest - it was beautiful. Clean room, comfortable bed, hot showers, lots of towels and comfy robes. Very helpful staff. We felt very safe and it was an easy walk into town. The pool is lovely. We booked the room for access to the private hot tub and had issues with the hot water. Staff was prompt in responding to the issue, but it did take quite some time to fix. While the issue did eventually get resolved, it took a couple of hours and it also set off a series of issues with the electricity in the room. We would have appreciated some sort of gesture to acknowledge that our evening was interrupted by a series of technical issues that ultimately took away from the romantic experience we were seeking. Simply taking care of a round of drinks would have been appreciated. The lake view suite gets a good amount of sun exposure around 9:30 in the morning that makes the suite very hot and uncomfortable. If you like to sleep in, you may want to think twice about booking this particular room. Looks like the mountain view suite next door has some additional shades that provide coverage. This would be a wise upgrade to the lake view suite. Same goes for the dining space - part of the patio is very exposed to the sun during breakfast hours, and can be uncomfortable if none of the shady spots are available.
- Daniela (8/5): The pool was delicious and very clean. We enjoyed it 100% - I think the cleaning should improve. We found dead animals in the wall corners, spider webs and the curtains were dusty.
- Amy (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet, beautiful setting
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Georgia (10/5): Highly recommended - amazing stay! - Beautiful and peaceful location, lovely room and wonderful staff. The food was delicious too. We went out bird watching early one morning and the staff were kind enough to hold breakfast for when we got back way beyond end of the breakfast hours. We didn’t ask for this, it was just done for us which was extremely appreciated after an early morning in the forest. I would recommend staying here wholeheartedly and will hopefully be staying again. Nothing really. We didn’t go in the pool but looked around and it looked lovely and clean. The games room was a really nice touch too.
- Valeria (9/5): Superb -
- Matt (10/5): - This is a beautiful property just outside of the main town of Mindo on a dirt road. It’s very quiet and you will hear the sound of birds and frogs. We saw quite a few different birds just sitting on the porch outside our unit. The staff is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The grounds and dining area are beautiful. The included breakfast is good and it’s nice to have the option to have dinner on property if you don’t feel like going out. Wonderful stay in Mindo.
- Gladys (8/5): Nice room in a beautiful setting. - Breakfast was excellent, as well as dinner. The staff was courteous and very nice. The room was facing the water and had two huge windows facing the gorgeous natural landscape. I realized the room did not have air conditioning, which didn't mind because it wasn't hot.
- Carolyn (9/5): Superb -
- Wendy (9/5): Relaxing with gorgeous views of the Cloud Forest - This small resort was set a little ways outside of downtown, only a few minute taxi ride away, but this provided for a quieter atmosphere without the noise from town. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was more than enough food and included fresh fruits, fresh bread, eggs any style, yogurts, granolas fresh coffee and fresh juice. Next time we would like to stay in the "jungle" rooms that provide a continuous view of the jungle with glass walls on all three sides. We really don't have any complaints, it is a lovely little resort in beautiful Mindo that was reasonable.
- Cari (10/5): Beautiful location and wonderful staff. Food was delicious - The property is lovely. Hidden in the forest. The area is so quiet, I fell asleep to birds, frogs and the river . The bed was very comfortable and I slept well. The room was immaculately clean,and they replaced the waters in the refrigerator each day. The restaurant had very good food. My son and I are gluten intolerant and the staff was very accommodating in making sure that our food was gluten free. Wifi worked very well. The hotel is maybe a half a mile from the town center- an easy walk. Washington was the hotel manager and he was so kind and helpful. This is just a great place to stay. Loved everything it was beautiful
- Pedro (5/5): Passable -
- Bawana (9/5): Superb -
- Jennifer (10/5): - Our stay could not have been better! The room, facilities, staff, and location were all top notch! The bungalow (#8) was clean and comfortable with an amazing view. Being on the outskirts of town meant it was quiet for a peaceful sleep. If you are carrying bags I would recommend taking a taxi from the town centre when you arrive. Without bags, it is a short 5 minute walk back to the town centre - we did this multiple times and enjoyed the walk. We enjoyed the pool - basic but a great temperature and we had it to ourselves all three days. There is a games room (chess and other board games available) behind the pool and a small hut for massages. The onsite restaurant is open air with great views. Breakfast is included (fruit plate, coffee/tea, fresh juice, eggs, fresh bread with butter and jams) and was the best we had in all of Ecuador. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner - we splurged and got the 7 course taster menu. It was amazing and I would definitely recommend it. We were so full we struggled to finish the last 3 courses. The coffee is grown by the games room and is available for purchase to take some home with you. Lastly, the staff were amazing! Very friendly and helpful. They recommended a few things to do/see around town, and called taxis for us. We were also able to check-in early and they let us check-out late. They also arranged a taxi to take us from the hotel to the airport, rather than taking a taxi-bus-taxi to the airport as our flight was at night.
- Gorsage (9/5): I would stay here again when visiting Mindo. - The staff was very helpful in providing transportation from Quito and arranging massages for my wife and daughter. The glass glamping room was amazing for bird watching. Pool was good for bird watching. Restaurant service was slow.
- Angela (7/5): Nice overnight stay in a beautiful edge of town location with wonderful breakfast. - The bungalow was overlooking cloud forest and sitting outside watching the wildlife was lovely and restful. The upstairs terrace for breakfast is a fantastic setting for bird watching and the breakfast was excellent. The hot water in our bungalow was intermittent. However my daughters in the bungalow next door did not have any issues. We had a car and so the location 5 minutes drive from town was fine, it was a nice quiet location but would be difficult without a car possibly.
- Geraldine (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (8/5): Comfortable stay in a bird paradise - Lovely breakfasts overlooking the gardens, with many wild birds. Dinners were also good, with a range of excellent cocktails. Excellent staff, very helpful with tours and taxis. Rooms were quite basic but clean and comfortable. Very difficult to find, as Google maps is inaccurate.
- Virginia (9/5): Superb -
- Teresa (10/5): Exceptional - It was beautiful! The staff was wonderful the breakfast was extraordinary. The View and grounds were immaculate. Nothing
- Deborah (10/5): Lovely location with great food and beautiful spaces to relax and enjoy all the surrounding natural beauty. - Beautiful location surrounded by lush vegetation with birds and flowers everywhere. Our room had a private porch and was quiet and comfortable. Nothing
- Pablo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Iqbal (3/5): Poor -
- Iqbal (1/5): jacuzzi take two hour to fill, power goes off at night and no response from the management - location expensive, not worth the money
- Jeanne (9/5): Great high end property at a reasonable price - Beautiful property with individual cabanas set around pool with wonderful landscaping. loved the rooftop restaurant with lots of bird viewing and Mountain View’s. Staff was wonderful. Great if you have a rental car but like many places in Quito you’ll need to take a taxi to many locations( they’ll call from the front desk) and not sure about getting back. We had the BEST massages of our lives ( volcanic stone) but no robes to walk over in and j no o privacy for changing ( but worth it!). Porch off room overlooked neighboring hotel.
- Shauna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (10/5): we totally enjoyed the Lodge and staff. Angela was so helpful - the rooms, pool and spa were all excellent a little isolated if you wanted to go to town. we stayed and the Inn cooked us wonderful dinners at very price.
- Carol (9/5): Superb -
- Ks (9/5): Lovely stay in a quiet natural environment - It is always annoying to be wrongly directed by Google maps. We were the other side of a field away. Not too far but easily corrected by the hotel to move their pinned placement slightly. Or send a brief instruction prior to arrival "head up the road to Mariposas de Mindo, the very good Butterfly Garden and Mindo Cano-py Ziplines, our sign Hosteria Coffee Lodge will be on the left". The entrance was also signed Crystal Glamping, a new venture? While the buildings themselves, the pool, the presentation of breakfast, all live up to the aspiration of a top hotel its little things like directions, or effective WiFi that are slight failings. Apart from that our room, a bungalow, was large, super king bed, immaculately clean with a nice patio area and cloud forest view. Breakfast was fruit plate, breads, eggs cooked to choice, fried plantain with cheese, fruit juice and tea or coffee all well presented. Dinner was available, significantly more expensive than local restaurants, and the open sided restaurant perhaps not the most conducive to eating on cold evenings. Not an issue as we had a car to visit local restaurants but otherwise a cheap taxi ride or a 20 minute walk along a gravel road. The small pool was surprisingly warm and fun for a quick dip after a day's sightseeing. prices for dinner
- Michele (10/5): The Coffee Lodge is great...do stay there! - Once we found it (it's a bit tucked out of the way), the location of the Coffee Lodge was central and so convenient. And the staff there was just wonderful!!! Washington gave us a lot of local tourist information and it was altogether fun talking to and getting to know him. The woman who served us breakfast (so sorry, her name escapes me for the moment...Ximena, maybe?) was also a warm, delightful person. We had a very comfortable stay in our lovely room near the pool; everything was to our liking, except the length of our stay - which was too short! The shower door didn't totally close so some water got on the floor - but we were given an extra bath mat as soon as we reported it.
- Sarah (8/5): A great getaway that is off the beaten path in Mindo! - The bungalow was hidden and comfortable with an amazing view of the forest! it was a 10-15 minute walk into town, which we really enjoyed but some may want to be closer.
- Lizeth (9/5): Superb -
- Kathryn (9/5): I would stay here again. The breakfast was amazing. Watching the birds on the terrace was delightful - We were impressed with the room. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the little refrigerator for the drinks we purchased. The hotel is far from the main road. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk which isn't bad but it rains a lot in the rain forest. It would have been nice to have a shuttle going back and forth.
- Benson (8/5): Very good -
- Marco (8/5): - Great place for families, good food and helpful staff. Be cautious while showering… hot water can be extremely hot!
- Beat (9/5): Superb -
- Dotan (9/5): Superb - Very friendly, clean, beautiful, and modern. Breakfast was VEPRY GOOD! Different, they pay attention to the little things. Very relaxing place. I liked it all.
- Jean-philippe (10/5): Incredible view from the cabin. Breakfast was one of the best during my trip. Confy and clean. -
- Kevin (8/5): it was good but not using booking.com anymore - it’s peaceful and the rooms are nice. The view from the restaurant is great. I didn’t like that booking.com told me the total price was $144 for the two nights but ended up being $175 when I checked in. If you say total price, that needs to be everything included
- Carolien (10/5): Perfect stay in Mindo - The staff was very friendly and helpful and served a really nice breakfast. The room, our own terrace, but also the hotel garden were all beautiful. The bathroom was very big and clean and had a nice jacuzzi. We will come back here for sure. Nothing
- Colette (9/5): Wonderful place at a bargain price. If you are a birder, this is a great place for you! - Gorgeous location. Excellent food. Beautiful grounds.
- Zafir (8/5): A great hotel in Mindo in close proximity to both nature and key locations in town. - - Great staff - Tasty breakfast - could sometimes be very warm in the room. could maybe do with a fan or air conditioning.

- Sung (10/5): - This property sits away from the main Mindo strip so offers quiet and natural setting. I stayed two nights and arrived on Thursday night. Just a few guests were there. I ordered dinner at a restaurant which is located on the second floor of the lobby. Food is fantastic here. Food in Mindo in general is very good but at the Coffee and Spa it’s way beyond fantastic. It was so good I took a cooking class at the hotel and it turned out the chef was educated in a culinary school and trained at various top rated restaurants in Quito. Breakfast is fantastic, offers 4,5 or 6 different food all fresh, plus coffee and fresh fruit juice. I had dinner twice here and both times were so good. Way better than restaurants in 5 star hotels in the states. Ground and inside cabin I stayed in are super clean. All staff are very friendly. Mindo main street is 10-15 minutes walk but they will call a taxi if needed. I highly recommend this place if you want to stay in quiet and natural setting in Mindo.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely wonderful property with very kind and friendly owners. Would recommend and definitely stay there again. The option to pay for all the tickets to the different attractions and then pay the hotel at the end (allowing you to use a credit card in a very cash-heavy town) was a great. There's no extra charge, the tickets cost the same as they would at the attractions. We asked for a late check out to allow us to shower after visiting the waterfalls before we departed and they were very kind to oblige at no extra charge. I'd recommend to anyone considering Mindo!
