Mama Tungu Hostel

We loved our stay at this hostel. The owner (Seb) was the best & really helped us enjoy our time in Banos. The facilities were so good too (jacuzzi, pool, pool table etc)

We really enjoyed our stay here!! Dorms were clean and the beds were comfy. Showers were hot and powerful. The jacuzzi was amazing then getting into the pool for a ‘cold plunge’. Seb was an amazing host, he went above and beyond with every request we had. We booked all our activities direct with the hostel. The food was also great. Shout out too to Marty the bartender!

The nicest staff I've ever met. The manager is great, the atmosphere is awesome—I highly recommend it.

Amazing experience start to finish. Rooms were clean, food was excellent and well priced, big community atmosphere but not over the top crazy party hostel vibe. Each night there was a different event such as trivia night, poker, beer pong, karaoke etc. All the staff were EPIC ! Sebastian will introduce himself to you pronto and becomes your “everything guy” very personable, goes above and beyond for you , helping book you trips outside the hostel etc. also shoutout Martin the bartender. 10/1...

I loved my stay at Mama Tungu! the staff are so friendly and helpful. The manager Sebastian is always around to answer questions and help you plan your trip - he encouraged me to go rafting and it was the best part of my stay. The rooms are always clean, the food is great and really well priced. Highly recommend Mama Tungu - I’ll be back for sure!

We had the best time at Mama Tungu. The weather wasn’t on our side, so we couldn’t do all the tours, but Seb was brilliant, helpful, flexible and sorted us great rates, even finding us snorkels for the Galápagos. The staff are amazing and evening activities make it really social. It’s a little out of town, but near gorgeous waterfalls, and the food is so good we never needed dinner elsewhere. Thanks Mama Tungu!

We cked in and right away we had a blast playing poker and lost and had to jump in the pool which was amazing !! Cannot stress enough to book a night because we extended twice , location is perfect !!! Not to say Banos isn’t great but this place has it all !! “ you can’t by time and peace “- Sebastian , what a legend 🫶

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Planned to stay three days and extended to five. Brilliant atmosphere attracting freak people. Lovely area for a walk, slightly out of town but close to a lot of waterfalls. No kitchen but the restaurant is great and mostly inexpensive. Highly recommend.

Good food, amazing atmosphere, loads of fun. The manager will literally move mountains to improve your stay. I’ve never seen this level of service anywhere in my travels. Shout out to Seb

Super friendly staff, the manager Seb was super helpful with organising activities. Common areas were great, felt like a resort not a hostel and there was a super social vibe

From my experience traveling, I've never encountered a hostel with this level of service. The manager and reception will move mountains to make your stay worth it. I loved that I could book any activity I wanted to do in Banos from within the hostel, for cheaper than online at that. When you arrive, you get the manager's personal phone number which is a great personal touch. It's not in the center of Banos but it has everything you need — great food, activities, billiards, a bar, pool. Book it...

This is the place to stay in Banos, there is a great community feel. U can do all Banos has to offer from the hostel. I would highly recommend the rafting trip which you can book through the hostel for cheaper than online. The only downside is being slightly outside of town but u can get taxi for 3 dollars. If u visit make sure to contact the manager Seb who seemlessly organises everything u need, even taking broken phones to be fixed! Also the included breakfast is definitely worth it!!

The place feels like a big family. It’s very clean, with great service, and there’s plenty to do like playing pool- table. You don’t even need to go out to have a good tim , you can still have an amazing experience in Baños even though it’s not right in the center, which actually makes it even better. Plus, you don’t need to look for a tourist agency. You can just go to the reception, and they will book any activity you want for you. 👍

First of all, this is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in South America. The place, the vibe, and the staff are all 10/10. While I was staying there, there was an incident, and the way the staf especially the manager, Sebastian (Seb) handled it was truly above and beyond. As a female traveler, I felt very safe here. I would definitely recommend this hostel and will absolutely stay again. I even extended my stay by two nights

super Hostel bisher das beste in Ecuador. Der Pool ist super groß und man kann dort richtig Schwimmen. Ausstattung auch super, mit alles was man braucht
