- Ab 22Uhr meine Rezeption mehr. Von der Straße aus müssen Sie 5-10min ein Berg hochlaufen um an die Unterkunft zu gelangen. Bei der Buchung hieß es wir haben eigene Toilette und Dusche jedoch wurde diese von anderen auch benutzt.

+ La variedad de actividades

- El acceso es horroroso, no se recomienda subir con vehículo. La cama incomoda, te hincas los muelles, el baño muy alejado de la habitación, el suelo de la habitación estaba sucio, no hay ventilador. Tanto en la noche como en la mañana había jaleo y no se podía descansar correctamente. Los accesos dentro de la finca en si no son sencillos. El desayuno deja mucho que desear en cuanto a elaboración. El personal es poco accesible. Nos decidimos por esta finca por su popularidad pero ha sido una decepción. Recomiendo visitarlo antes de realizar la reserva.

+ Midden in de natuur en de pizzaavond

- Het was vies, vol met kakkerlakken krekels en muggen. De klamboes waren kapot, grote gaten bij deuren. Je moest 10 min. Omhoog lopen op een keien paadje met je koffers naar de receptie en toen weer 5 min. omhoog verder naar je huisje. Geen licht op de paadjes, levens gevaarlijk. De kamer had een hogere kamer met zo een steile klimtrtap doodeng voor de kinderen bang dat ze er af zouden vallen. Geen ventilatoren, bloedheet was het. De bank was van meerdere delen gebouwd, we durfen niet te zitten omdat we bang waren dat er beestjes uit zouden komen. Compost wc’s, het stonk zo! De kinderen hadden angst om naar de wc te gaan. De paadjes waren zo onregelmatig dat de jongste van 4 steeds viel. Ik ook waardoor ik helemaal open lag en zo dus alle activiteiten en het lopen naar huisje ongeveer niet kon doen. Ook het eten in het restaurant was niet lekker. We hadden zo gehoopt om een mooi verblijf hier te hebben met een broodbakcursus een permacultuur cursus en paardrijden, maar het is te spartaans. Als je hier 5 euro per nacht voor zou betalen en je bent 18-25 jaar misschien goed te doen maar niet voor een gezin van 5 met kleine kinderen en toch nog 60 euro per nacht! We zijn trots dat we het 2 dagen hebben vol gehouden goen snel naar een ander hotel.

+ Die Pizza war gut

- Plumsklo bzw ein Loch. keine richtigen Badezimmer. Überall Insekten. Pro Tag 10-20 neue Mosqitostiche. Die Anlage ist schwer zu finden und Mann muss erstmal 10min bergauf laufen. Enorme Hitze da keine Ventilatoren.

+ They offer a free yoga class each morning

- The room was described as a private double room w private entrance, balcony and mountain view....it had none of these! The room entrance was in an 8bed dorm, no window, no balcony, no privacy. They moved us to a better more private room when we complained but in the new room there was no plug sockets, we found a cockroach and spider in the bed and the mosquito net was full of holes. The shared bathroom door didn't lock, and there was no fan in the room. The description also didn't mention it is accessed by a hiking trail that's unsuitable if you have movement impairments. They wouldn't give us a refund and we left after one night.

- I had to climb up to the lobby 10 minutes. and then climb to the room another 7-10 minutes. the room itself was an area that it’s a house for dogs. making noises all night. the over all experience was bad.

Proche de l’arnaque… très cher pour ce que c’est, vous avez de bien meilleures options sur l’île à un prix raisonnable J’ai booke 2 nuits dans une chambre privée, mais j’ai dû changer de chambre donc ça a perdu de son intérêt. Le Check in est indiqué à 12h ici, à la réception ils vous diront 2pm mais ma chambre a été prête à 4pm. Payée pour une chambre avec wifi mais ce n’était pas le cas Les équipements sont très sommaires et le personnel assez froid

Close to Larnaque... very expensive for what it is, you have much better options on the island at a reasonable price I booked 2 nights in a private room, but I had to change rooms so it lost its interest. Check in is indicated at 12h here, at the reception they will tell you 2pm but my room was ready by 4pm. Paid for a room with wifi but it wasn't the case The equipment is very summarised and the staff is quite cold

I didn’t go to the hostel at all until it was time to sleep. the rooms were 25 minute walk away from the main road, you get to reception and check in then walk 10 minutes through a dangerous bush trail to get to your room and when it’s dark and you have to use a maze to try get home it’s ridiculous. The security levels were worrying and there was no lockers to put anything as the door to the dorm is left wide open at all times.

Finca Zopilote is a truly magical place. The permaculture farm provides delicious fresh food to the restaurant and every day is full of activities and chances to learn. All of the volunteers and staff are incredibly welcoming and the environment is beautiful. There is no place like Zopilote.

Great hostel! It has a very warm and familiar atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. It’s surrounded by nature, right in the middle of the jungle, which makes the whole experience even more special and peaceful.The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and it’s easy to connect with people. There are meny classes, workshops and things to learn. If you’re looking for a place to slow down, enjoy nature, and feel part of a small community, this is definitely the perfect spot.

What an amazing place! Beautiful permaculture farm/hostel on a lush green volcano. The people working here are great, the vibe among the guests is amazing, and there’s loads of fun, active and inspiring workshops to attend everyday. Would definitely recommend el zopilote, this place feels like a home away from home!

Cool place with cool people. Lots of activities during the day - yoga, dance, permaculture, etc. They have incredible organic home grown products. Great menu & food! Accommodation was a bit dirty and no fan, was hot but the lands themselves were beautiful. Great community and place to get to know some fellow travelers.

Great little hippy hotspot for nature and sustainable living lovers! You'll either love it or hate it, so know what you're looking for and what you're not! My accommodation was very far away and it wasn't lit at all at night so I got lost a few times, even with my light. I'm all for sustainability but there are some basic safety and practicality considerations that I would suggest, such as at least using some solar lights to indicate the turn off, and show the path from reception to the rooms...

Zopilote is so great, feels like camping though. Very hippie!! :)) great family dinners with good veggie and vegan options, the fire and activities are so awesome and cool, people there are super nice and cool, walk up (about 5-7 mins) a bit rough with a big heavy bag but worth it, try to come before dark though! Pizza night is AWESOME! Defs recommend but watch out seriously for the ants they sting bad. 5 min walk from raindance.

Bizarre, dirty hostel full of hippies. I’ve stayed in many many jungle hostels but this is by far one of the worst. Cabins are absolutely infested with insects, animal faeces in the showers, rooms without fans or AC and mosquito nets that are full of holes. Also a dark jungle walk in the middle of nowhere to get to the hostel which made many of my friends unsafe. The only ‘redeeming’ feature is the staff are friendly and the food is quite good.

pas de cuisine. il y a un resto mais c’est un peu cher. le personnel n’est pas forcément super sympa. la propreté est pas parfaite mais on est au milieu de la nature. les cabanes en tant que dortoirs sont trop chouettes meme si on est un peu entassés. bonne ambiance avec des soirées pizza etc. les sanitaires sont sommaires (toilettes sèches et pas de porte aux douches). très grand et loin de la route principale mais loueur de scooter juste à côté (pas cher et pratique)

What can I even say, flies everywhere, toilet is a hole in the ground, showering with cockroaches, staff were nice but that is the only good thing, not social very hippy vibe so if that’s your thing go for it. 15 minute HIKE up to the actual hostel. It’s the worst place I have ever stayed

El Zopilote is very hippy and rustic, but they don’t pretend to be anything else. The staff is kind, they keep things clean (as clean as they can in the jungle), the activities are fun and it is a very social atmosphere. Things to note: it is quite the hike up to the hostel and I recommend arriving during the day the first time. Accommodations are basic with compost toilets and limited showers.
