Based in a beautiful location, surrounded by gorgeous views.

Nothing - perfect :)

Maria & her husband Walter are very kind, generous people. Maria prepared my breakfast & dinner each day & ensured that everything was to my liking. They also run a tienda if you are short of needed supplies or medicines. My single room was large & well equipped. The WiFi never dropped & was very strong. Backpacker’s is very close to a trail to quilotoa. Alternatively, a bus departs at 9 am & stops directly in front of backpacker’s. I highly recommend Backpacker’s hostel. It’s an excellent value with love and care mixed in.

Everything was perfect!

This is one of the best hostels i ve stayed. Is like being home because everything is just perfect and the owners are very warm and helpful and make you feel a member of the family Is in perfect position for hiking the Quilotoa loop and the dinner and breakfast are very good. Wonderful family and very comfortable place! Don't miss it!

If we could, we would give even more points! It was sooo nice with maria & walter! They are super amazing. Its kind of a homestay with privacy. They do amazing cooking, they take care about you, they give you everything what you need! We would come again everytime. We really appreciated the stay! Thank you so much maria & walter!

The owners are the nicest people in the world who will give you an authentic experience. It was their dream to open a hostal and meet other people with other cultures, so they did this at an older age and combine 4 jobs to pay for it... The facilities are basic but all clean and worthwile the price. Our breakfast was one of the best so far in Ecuador. The lunch box we asked was even more amazing (a big box with fried rice, omelet, vegetables,...). There is a little rooftop terrace where you can enjoy the sun and the view over the mountains.

If you want a local experience with super friendly hosts then this is the place to stay! Maria and Walter make you feel like part of the family and are always available for any help you might need. It has only been a month and half they opened the hostal and are open to ideas to be the best they can be.

The room was a lovely, spacious and comfortable so was great value for money. The main attraction of this hostel however and what sets it apart from other hostels is the people who work there. They will make an incredible effort to make you feel welcome and part of their wonderful family. Maria is also an excellent cook so you will receive a lovely breakfast and dinner and will make you a packed lunch for the next day on request. I couldn’t recommend this hostel more to anyone looking for an authentic and wholesome stay with some lovely people.
