The hostel is a true paradise, very good value for money and the views from the terrace of the restaurant over the whole valley are just stunning. The staff is very helpful, friendly and fun. The atmosphere is relaxed and the free yoga classes in the morning are great. The bar for the evening is fun and very nicely runned by the bartender Jose. The restaurant serves delicious food for a fair price. When we wanted to stay there on long bank holiday weekend everything was booked out. But one of the owners came imidiately back to us when they got a short notice cancellation. You can do a lot of hikes and all summed up this is an absolutely nice, stunning, relaxing and paradiselike place.
Such a beautiful place and great food. I will be back.
Great vibe, very relaxing. Did some awesome hikes in the area
Super nice place
It's been a few months since my stay at izcayluma but I will never forget it. It is a really nice and luxurious place. As a backpacker I stayed in one of the dorms. I have never seen such a lovely and clean bathroom in a hostel. The beds were nice and daily morning yoga just felt so good. I recommend staying here! It is also not expensive.
Very cozy and calm place to enjoy vilcabamba. We stayed for 6 nights and enjoyed the calmness of this hostel a lot. They have developed a hiking trail system over the years and it's really nice to walk there on your own. Pretty easy to find the way thanks to their maps and descriptions. Special thanks to Raik who was so friendly and helpful everytimekisses to Ami the dog 🐕
"Now entering a stress-free zone" says the sign as you enter the reception area, and as if by magic you just feel life's troubles melt away.
The hospitality, accommodations, and attention to detail are stellar, and the beautiful, natural surroundings are a stunning reminder of the diversity Ecuador has to offer. Izhcayluma is truly a gem in the Valley of Longevity!
Nice place to relax. Room with a bath was quiet and had its own balcony with a view. Dinners were reasonable and consistently good. Free yoga in the morning was a nice touch. Staff was helpful and friendly and spoke English. Daily van from Cuenca of $15. Will stay again.
Good hiking trails, craft beer and massage prices. Otherwise overpriced, bad food, terrible restaurant staff, dogs barking all night. I would choose another place
Yoga, good bread and great views. Hard to beat.
This is definitely the most beautiful accomodation I've stayed in. The place is surrounded by mountains. There is plenty of greenery, flowers and birds. The view that you get from this accommodation is beautiful. It is quiet and you feel at peace. The room is clean and comfortable. The bathroom is clean, spacious and has a good shower. The WiFi is excellent throughout the property. The facilities are amazing: nice pool, there is pool table & table tennis table & board games, hammocks located in a beautiful spot overlooking the mountains, free yoga classes with a view, and the massage is great. The food served in the restaurant is reasonably priced and delicious. It was so hard to leave this place. Highly recommended if you're in Ecuador!
This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Exquisite food, great customer service, super fun activities, blissful yoga classes and awesome prices! The best option for any holiday or weekend getaway.
Good clean nice rooms. Good food. Hikes, pool, other amenities.
Beautiful place and good value! Big property with nice hikes. They have yoga classes, massages, good food and taxi to town is only $ 1.5
Just awesome. Best place in Vilcabamba. Well actually the reason to go to Vilcabamba. Great service great Organization great Location
An absolutely exceptional yoga retreat. Even if you skip the yoga it is still an incredible place to stay. There are a variety of accommodation options to suit different budgets and preferences, in all cases the pre-breakfast wake up yoga is included. No meals are included, but the variety, quantity and quality make the cost of eating all your meals here completely viable (it's a 3min taxi or 30min walk for meal options in town). All rooms and facilities are clean, neat and modern with a rustic edge. The grounds are well keep and expansive including a pool, patio and bird watching tower. Staff are friendly and helpful and can supply you with routes and maps for hikes around all of the surrounding area. If you enjoy it as much as we did then you'll want to keep extending your stay as long as possible.
