La Casa Verde - Eco hostel Reviews

We loved La Casa Verde. It's more than a clean bed and a shower, it's a home away from home that makes you feel immediately welcome. The large kitchen/dining area is a great place to visit with friends over a free cup of tea or coffee any time of the day. Rebecca and Douglas are great at helping to arrange tours or finding restaurants, lavanderias, etc. They are also so conscious of the environment you really feel as if you're doing something for the country by staying there.

This hostel is more like a bed and breakfast, which was refreshing! Possibly the best part about it was the owner, Doug, who was incredibly helpful and informative. One day, he recommended a hike for us and even walked us down to the trailhead and gave us detailed landmark directions to keep us on track (great since many Ecuador trails aren't very well marked). We liked that it was a bit out of town so all we heard at night was the river! (A taxi to town is only $1.50

Really nice place, totally beautiful with friendly people. I honestly don't think there is a nicer place in banos.

Doug and Rebecca go the extra mile to make sure La Casa Verde is verde. They are very welcoming and have a great deal of information about the local activities and restaurants. The breakfast was amazing, complete with home made bread. The house itself is lovely- bright, spotless, quiet and relaxing. We arrived late the first night after 8 hours on a bus, and it was great to be able to heat up a nutritious meal from the freezer as well as indulge in a brownie. Don´t miss this place!

Doug and Rebecca were awesome! Extremely helpful on travel plans, places of interest and helping with fun things to do. Excellent breakfast and very clean rooms. Would definitely stay here again.

i loved this place. It is a away from town a bit and very peaceful.
