Summary of traveller reviews

Jungle Joe Ecolodge in Minca offers breathtaking jungle views and a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. Guests love the comfortable hammocks, delicious and varied breakfast, and the friendly staff. While it's a pleasant walk from town, some find the beds a bit hard and the showers lack hot water.

Loved our stay here! The staff were kind and accommodating, the location is beautiful and the overall vibe is super relaxing and peaceful. Only thing is save ur money on a private room and book shared dorms. Whilst the private balcony was great the walls are barely walls so we could hear everything crystal clear in the dorm above us and the kitchen next to us. Also the bed was super hard!

Great location and atmosphere without being a party hostel, gym is a really big bonus as well. Only down side was the kitchen being right next to my bedroom and french people (obviously) cooking food and being loud at 11pm.

Absolutely LOVED this place. The outdoor hammocks are perfect for chilling on and the chocolate factory tour was great as well. The hostel was very clean and the people were super nice too. My only criticism is that showering was a bit of a mission.
