Great value for the price paid, nice breakfast included. The hosts are excellent communicators before, during and after your stay. Rooms are kept very clean, serviced daily, and are nicely appointed. The mattress on my bed wasn’t as comfortable as I had hoped it would be. The stairs to the upper floor rooms where we stayed are steep but doable. Would absolutely stay here again. ##### Sherrie Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aren Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend Beautiful place to stay. They set out food for birds, so every morning at breakfast there are beautiful birds to observe. One of the owners, Maria, works so hard to make sure everything is perfect. She speaks English well and tries to make her guests happy with their stay. She answers all the Whats app messages, checks people in to the hotels, helps serve breakfast, and helps clean the rooms. She is on top of everything. She doesn't have any problem calling taxis either. The pool was refreshing and clean. You can walk a few minutes down to the river and there are picnic tables there. ##### Aren Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy Feb 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A little piece of heaven in Mindo, Ecuador. The property is beautiful! It is easy to see and feel the love put into everything at Mindo Real. Maria greeted me, and told me about different things I could do on the property, the pools which were very inviting, a covered area with hammocks, trails, a beautiful walk to the river. The rooms are clean and lovely, big windows that when left open amplified the sounds of birds, frogs, bugs and? nothing else but nature. There was a big open patio outside my 2nd floor room where I could sit outside, relax, and enjoy the views. My first walk back from town, I realized how very special the grounds at Mindo Real are. The driveway is long with beautiful plants and flowers lining it. On that 1st walk back I saw Yellow Tanagers, hummingbirds, and even an Agouti. Breakfast was so good. Fresh fruit, eggs, something fried with cheese, bread, and marmalade that I shared with a Golden Bellied Flycatcher each morning. I can't forget the Loja coffee, hot and black. There were hummingbirds, butterflies, and other birds all around. Anything I needed help with was quickly addressed, an extra blanket, a taxi, all I had to do was ask. Maria even purchased time for my sim card when she went to town the morning after she spent an hour the night before trying, I paid her afterwards.There was a state of emergency with curfews when I was there. I never felt unsafe in Mindo or at Mindo Real Lodge, day or night. I am 66 and was traveling alone. ##### Nancy Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina Oct 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent staff; very accommodating. We have some dietary restrictions and they were able to still provide us with luscious meals. They were always available to help whether calling a taxi or helping us with laundry. They went above and beyond by allowing a late checkout as our bus was not until the end of the day. ##### Tina Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua Dec 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great food, awesome environment, and friendly stadf ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diego Sep 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cabin was great and owners very friendly and helpful, thanks!! ##### Diego Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abby Aug 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was beautiful and the staff was very friendly.

La atención es excelente y el jardín es precioso. Pasé bastante tiempo cada día paseando por sus instalaciones, observando las aves y las plantas. Reservé dos noches inicialmente, pero decidí extender mi estancia una noche más porque me gustó mucho. El hotel está a solo 5-10 minutos caminando del centro, rodeado de naturaleza, lo que hace que la distancia valga totalmente la pena. El desayuno incluido es delicioso y variado. Si volvemos, sin duda nos alojaremos aquí nuevamente. El último día nos fuimos muy temprano, y la dueña tuvo el detalle de prepararnos un desayuno caliente para llevar. ¡Fue un gesto muy bonito que hizo nuestra experiencia aún más especial!" ##### Xiaolu Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rafael May 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Muy recomendable!!!
