Breakfast was really good and very nicely presented. I also liked the wood fire in the room and the help I was given to keep it going in the evening. The staff were very friendly and attentive and helped me with arranging a taxi to a different view point.

The hostel is a bit outside quilotoa but only a 7 min walk. They give you a lot of blankets and a heater which you need as it's cold! However, one of the best nights of sleep ever! The guy who worked there was really nice and very polite and made us simple but tasty meals!

One of the best place I ever stayed. Excellent meals with enough food (and I eat a lot). The free banana bread and cookies are really a plus, and so delicious. The lunch box is also really nice. The son even drove me for free to the doctor, because I was bitten by a dog during my walk. The common area is tiny but so comfortable.
Hostal backpackers is set in Chugchilán and features a shared lounge. With quiet street views, this accommodation features a patio.

Clean,good value for money
And Maria and Walter been the sweetest host ever.
If you are on the Kilotoa hike don't forget to ask for the delicious sandwiches
This is a must see beautiful place. The drive to Quiatola has some of the most spectacular views in Ecuador. The views at Quiatola are breathtaking. Be prepared to pay a nominal per person fee to get into the park at Quiatola.

The Princessa Tia Hotel is the place to stay in Quilatoa,...
The Princessa Tia Hotel is the place to stay in Quilatoa, best location, great breakfast, large room and bathroom, very clean and comfortable bed. But the best feature is the rooms all have an electric heater. Quilatoa is cold, so the benefit of the heater, which is rare to find anywhere in Ecuador, is amazing!
The rim hike is beautiful but steep and slippery in places. Poles would be a good idea. The hike down to the lake is surprisingly long, steep and slippery. There are horses or mules that can take you back up for $10 pp. Get out early as the fog moves in around 4pm and obscures visibility of the lake. The sun in the morning makes the water’s colors amazing. You can take a kayak out or go for a motorized ride in a zodiac.
The town is tiny and closes up early so don’t delay going to dinner. There are no pharmacies or banks and only 1 ATM which wouldn’t work with our card. Also, be careful because there are no gas stations for the entire Quilatoa Loop. Fill up before heading up either route to Quilatoa.

We were in Quitoloa during the low season.
We were in Quitoloa during the low season. Not too crowded :)
Accommodations at Cuchirawa Hostel were directly across from the crater. Ample free parking; we walked everywhere. Enjoyed a post-hike beer at a restaurant on the crater ridge.

The Quilotoa Loop was absolutely worth every step!
The Quilotoa Loop was absolutely worth every step! For sure start from Sigchos so you can have the lagoon as a reward after 3 days of difficult hiking. The hikes were beautiful (although rather steep) and a fantastic way to reach Quilotoa.

The views were breathtaking and amazing; there was a 6hr hike around the rim with a few areas the path made you doubt what you were doing but overall it was worth it; the hike down to the water takes about 30-40 minutes and 1-1.5hrs to hike out - I am not an avid hiker and it took me 2hrs to climb back up. The trail is slippery and hiking poles were beneficial. I'd love to go back and do the 4 days hike around.

Trekked the Quilotoa loop. It was amazing!
Trekked the Quilotoa loop. It was amazing! the views are fantastic and it is a medium difficulty hike. The only problem was coming down the highest point. It is incredibly slippery and there is nothing to hang on to. The ground is loose dirt so one has to be VERY careful.
The hosteria was absolutely beautiful! The closest hotel to the quilotoa loop. The hike start literally just cross the street. You can just start hiking down and grab a “taxi” on the way up (horse taxi haha). You walk into the hosteria and you walk through a restaurant, the food was very good! You must try the potato soup with avocado and local cheese in there. We love fire place in our room, the nights get cold and little fire makes evening perfect!
I loved the location of this place right next to Quilotoa Lake. The included breakfast and dinner were pretty good, but I enjoyed the included meals at Llu Llu Llama better (in another town along the hike). I loved the fireplace in the rooms and how you could request for them to start a fire to warm up the room. This was so unique. As a solo female traveler I felt safe.
The family is sweet and welcoming;
Breakfast and dinner were filling and comforting;
Location is very close to the Laguna - we did the hike around the crater;
We had the hostel to ourselves with another couple for 1 night so it was very peaceful and quiet;
A fire was lit in our room at night as it gets pretty cold in Quilotoa;
Hot water in the shower is always a plus!

Hostal Rosita is on the track linking Quilotoa to Chugchilan, about 500 meters from the village of Guyama San Pedro.
At only a 5 mn walk from the "Quilotoa mirador".
Nice hosts, available.
Quite basic amenities but we knew about it (the fact that the heating is replaced by a fireplace prepared by the host and to be handled by us was part of the "adventure").
Good dinner included in the reservation.
After one night we decided to stay longer. The location is great and the beds are very comfortable and warm. It's a very good price for what they give, also the food (diner and breakfast included) is good. A nice and cozy place to get to know Quilotoa and it's beautiful surroundings!
Located just outside of the tourist section of Quilotoa, Runa Wasi was a convenient hotel to stay after completing the Quilotoa Loop. Friendly staff. Our room was tiny but clean. Staff was able to accommodate our vegetarian meal requests, however, portions were very small.
The hostel is a bit outside quilotoa but only a 7 min walk. They give you a lot of blankets and a heater which you need as it's cold! However, one of the best nights of sleep ever! The guy who worked there was really nice and very polite and made us simple but tasty meals!
The hotel is located right across from one of the best views of Quilotoa crater lake. It was very convenient to access the hiking trails. The shower was great; hot with good water pressure. The staff tried hard to be helpful; it is obviously a local family run business.
The hosts were really welcoming, the breakfast was excellent and the hostel is in a good location with a cosy fire to keep you warm at night. There was water and tea and coffee making facilities available with a good selection of tea bags.
EXCELLENT food, the dinner was great, the breakfast was also great. The staff is extremely nice and helps with everything they can. The location is fantastic, very close to Quilotoa crater so you can literally walk there from this hotel.
An ok family-run hotel. It provides the basic need to visit Quilotoa lake. The power was off when we stayed there due to thunderstorms. It is ok to stay here for visiting the lake as it is walking distance to the lake.
the hostel is very cosy and extremely tidy, room are spacious with hot water and a stove, food is delicious and the family that runs the place is very friendly and accomodating. Overall a great find in Quilotoa.
spacious room right in quilotoa. nice hosts. breakfast and dinner is included (although dinner might be too basic for some. breakfast was great though)
. parking available.
The location is right across from Quilotoa lake crater. The meals (dinner & breakfast) are very good and large in portions. A very comfortable place to stay. Recommended!
Additional heating available, since temperatures can fall below zero during night. Perfect breakfast and dinner. Super location at the beginning of Quilotoa village.
