The Secret Garden Cotopaxi Reviews

Bit of a struggle for me to get to from Banos, but well worth the effort when i finally got there. Gorgeous big rooms and main house where delicious meals are served 4 times a day. Amazing view of Cotopaxi volcano and surrounding mountains. Volunteers there are very nice and helpful. Great outdoor activities available, or just soaking in the jacuzzi while enjoying the view. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome location great staff!

What a fantastic place to stay! We couldn't have been happier. Warm, cozy atmosphere, lots of scenery and adventure, plenty of privacy at night. Great food, great staff, great time.

Fell in love with it at first sight! Breathtaking scenery, cosy rooms, family-like feeling. I wish I could have stayed longer.

The views at this place are absolutely amazing! There's tons to do, but relaxing in a hammock is great too. The only downside is the cost of some of the activities (e.g. $30 per person to visit the national park seemed a bit exteme, if it were per vehicle that would be more reasonable). The food is also great. I marked security down a bit because we were never given a key for our room, but I guess since the only people really around are staff and other guests there's not much to worry about.

Fantastic Hostel, one of my favorite places that I¨ve stayed in Ecuador. Delicious meals and wonderful day trips for reasonable prices especially when you compare around the area. Our room didn´t have any locked area for our stuff however(not that we needed it but still would be a nice feature). The jacuzzi really makes the experience especially after you´ve been hiking all day long! Great vegetarian options avilable as well.

One of the best hostels I've ever been to! The staff is very friendly, and they are always there to help. The hiking is fun and guided. On the bad side, the hot water is not regular, and not present in all showers.

If you like the great outdoors, trekking, biking, horseback riding, mountain climbing or sipping on a cold beer, sitting in a hot-tub and gazing at a beautiful view of Mount Cotopaxi or just plain taking it easy, this is the place for you. I spent four great days there and I should have stayed longer. The facilities are unbelievable, the food is excellent and the staff certainly makes you feel at home. You can bring your own tent if you want.
