Cinnamon house

Cash only but stated nowhere. No shoes allowed but stated nowhere. Dogs and cats pee on the floor but still no shoes allowed. No A/C but it is very hot and humid. Paid for a private room and the window was left open so it was filled with mosquitos and spiders. Road leading to hostel is poorly lit and makes it dangerous to come home at night because of mud and animals. One staff member rude and dismissive, other very kind and pleasant and helpful. Guests loud after quiet hours

Très cher pour ce que c'est. Le personnel, quand il est présent, n'est pas agréable. Pas tout le temps de l'eau chaude (même tiède). Beaucoup de bruit : toit en tôle de notre chambre, la nuit, on entendait des gros booms au dessus de nos têtes la nuit, sérénade des chiens Bon emplacement malgré tout

Beware if you have respiratory issues or aversion to mould. Walls and ceiling of dorms and bathroom on lower level were covered with fine powdery mould. Appears first to be dust but all rooms have a very musty smell and appear poorly ventilated. I moved rooms once to try and solve this but seems to be an issue all over the property. Ended my stay early because of this. Shame since the communal area and general vibe of the hostel and its staff were lovely. Hope this is fixed soon.

It looks cute on the surface, but when you look closer there is mold growing on the walls. My backpack was against this wall so the mold got in my bag and clothes :( I did laundry here an they lost my things, when I told them the older lady just didn’t care and walked away. The younger lady is nice and tries to help. Try to get a lower bunk bed, the upper ones smell moldy, I don’t know how often they get turned over and mindo is very damp

The walls were growing mould. I didn’t notice and leant my backpack open against the mouldy wall so some mould got inside my backpack. Try to get a bottom bunk because the top bunks don’t get turned over so often and mine smelt like mould. Don’t do laundry here as it was given back to me still wet, They also lost my eye mask and the older lady (owners mum) just DGAF. The young woman is nice and tried to help. Bring flip flops as you can’t wear shoes there. Towels are for rent

Les lits qu’on nous avait attribué dans le dortoir sentaient le moisi. Heureusement le deuxième nuit on a pu changer.

I felt cheated by the photos. U do not get access to the area above to see the view, because that’s privates only. Everything is overpriced for what u get. No people vibe and hammocks feel uncomfortable as opposed to most hostels

I was very much looking forward to the "chill" vibe that others have spoken about in their reviews, but unfortunately this wasn't my experience. They claim that they aren't a party hostel, but considering the staff leaves the property at 9pm, this rule is entirely up to whether or not the other guests adhere to it. In my case, I had drunk neighbors that were blasting music until 2am and then again starting at 7am which made for a miserable night's sleep and messed up my entire next day.

Beautiful common areas, stayed in a private room which overlooked common area but quiet atmosphere so no issues with late noise, was large with storage benches and comfortable bed, spiders but can’t be helped as in forest! Functional kitchen and location great easy

I was disappointed with my stay. The cat and small dog climb over all the tables - not hygienic. The dog has a skin condition and it drags its bum along the sofas and has a bald patch at its tail base from chewing itself. There are many dogs that bark alot. The kitchen has a conduction hob, good luck finding a pan that actually works. The staff invite people over who don’t stay at the hostel, then proceed to play loud music in the afternoon when paying guests are trying to read/do work/relax...

cute hostel!

Lieu exceptionnel (tres joli et a l'orée de la forêt avec des petits colibris!), lieu de vie ouvert sur la nature et la contemplation - calme. Café latte très bon !

really beautiful Hostel

Very friendly staff, super beautiful area, nice rooms

Wunderschöes Hostel am Rande von Mindo (5min fussweg ins Zentrum). Sehr nettes personal und eines der saubersten Hostels ever. Kein Partyhostel und auch sonst nicht so suuper social aber für mich wars Perfekt

Nice location away from the main centre, large communal space and decent kitchen. helpful with options for tours and things to do around town.

Such an amazing, special, magical place. If you’re looking for somewhere beautiful, relaxing & peaceful, this is the perfect place

Lovely place private room is nice! Thin walls

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It has a very chilled vibe and the staff are really helpful. The kitchen facilities are slightly limited and the location is slightly out of the Main Street. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay, I would recommend this hostel. I felt comfortable and safe here.

It had a great communal areas , the kitchen has everything you need it and the staff were very helpful!

I enjoyed my stay. The hostel itself is cute, clean, and has good facilities. They have a hostel cat who hangs out in the common area, some hammocks, and also hummingbird feeders! The price was also very good, at about $12 per night. My only drawback is that the hostel is on the edge of town & the short walk down the outskirts streets is not particularly busy/well-lit. Though I felt safe in Mindo, generally.

Super Aufenthalt. Tolles Hostel mit mega Flair, der Aufenthaltsbereich ist der Hammer, das Stuff ist super engagiert alles sauber zu halten und hilfsbereit bei allen Fragen. Top Lage, kurzer Weg zum Zentrum aber etwas ruhiger und nich so laut. Offene Küche für alle und endlich mal sauber. heißes Wasser in der Dusche :). Bester Cappuccino bisher. Absolute Empfehlung, ich komme wieder.

So glad I went with this place, it’s tucked away from the main roads which feels super safe & relaxing. I highly recommend a private room with a balcony for the views & relaxation. There’s signs posted for quiet hours. Sometimes people are loud, but I felt fine politely asking them to respect it. Long reception hrs-I did the night hike through them & was worth it. Make sure you bring cash to avoid wire transfer. Can’t wait to return! :)

Fantastic hostel!

Cute looking hostel. But the most lockers in the rooms are broken :( Also I miss some more hangers to be able to dry clothes.
