The staff were incredibly helpful in arranging our taxis from the Quito airport to Mindo and back. Nice grounds, we were not there long enough to take a swim but the pool looked nice. Would recommend and would stay again.

One of the most amazing stays that I ever had in Mindo, Sara was an excellent host, very sweet and always able to help and assist in anything that I needed! Great attention to details and service to make your stay unforgettable. The place is immaculate clean, the food was awesome and more than what I was able to eat lol. Highly recommended if you are looking for a special place surrounded by nature, plenty of fruit trees, birds, running creeks throughout the property and two adorable dogs ♥️ a place to make memories as a solo traveler or with family. Definitely a come back for me; thank you team for all that you did to make a very special stay for me.

I enjoyed a two night stay here after traveling from Quito. We arrived late at night and they were very accommodating. I enjoyed the charm and greenery of this place. Sara was friendly and provided us with a delicious homemade breakfast in outside in their garden. I highly recommend this place.

Hicimos reserva en este lugar ya que creímos haber encontrado una buena oferta en Expedia en cuanto al precio en comparación a otras propiedades con características similares. Sin embargo, la pésimo administración y calidad del servicio indispuso nuestra estadía incluso antes de haber llegado al solicitar pagos por adelantado en fechas anteriores a las mostradas en Expedia, perder recibos de pago, llamar para cambiar las características de la reserva y querer subir el precio sin avisarnos todo esto con el \"afán de ayudarnos\", finalmente dar un trato por demás irrespetuoso y hasta sexista en el momento de recibir nuestra queja. Las habitaciones que recibimos en el tercer piso no fueron las más cómodas para una familia y menos las más seguras para una niña de 3 años. El baño es pequeño e incómodo es imposible regular el agua caliente o fría, el agua se calienta tanto que hasta te quema. No tiene servicio de restaurante como lo indica en Expedia. Lo que rescataría de este lugar son los espacios verdes que son muy bonitos, el lugar es limpio y ordenado, el desayuno al aire libre es agradable y la piscina en horas de la tarde.

Grounds at the hotel are really beautiful. You can see lots of birds and even a resident agouti. The hotel is conveniently located a 5 minute walk from Mindo square with lots of restaurants and amenities. Staff is very friendly and helpful and can book excursions for you. Breakfast is really good with a variety of items served.

I bought my stay via Expedia, and was asked to pay VAT tax at the property, what I denied, and also I was asked to pay additional 10 dollars for the 2 old baby breakfast. However, breakfast was very simple and plain. Overall location is OK, though I would say too much of aggressive sale.

I didn’t think this place proves good value for money. The “cabins” are mostly small, rustic rooms. The tin roofs are super loud when it rains. The showers are electric so lukewarm water at best. And there is no restaurant; you can order a meal with a 2 hour reservation. The property does not have parking spaces - street parking only.

Overall good experience. Staff is very polite and helpful but the check in process was very slow. It took us 45 minutes of wait.
The bungalow we got was nice and clean. However, we did not have water due to some problems with the water main supply. The hotel water reserve did not work on our place.

Mindo was beautiful and so was the experience at Casa de Piedra. Henry and his staff were incredibly accommodating when my booking changed and I needed new accomodations. The breakfast was delicious with homemade jam and manjar de dulce. My only complaint is that while the showers aren't cold, they aren't exactly hot either. Overall, I would highly recommend staying there.

Excellent accommodations in the heart of Mindo. The deluxe private bungalow was both charming and accommodating with an easy walk to all that Mindo has to offer. Staff was knowledgeable and service was excellent. With many hostels and economical options available in Mindo, I would still recommend Casa de Piedra to friends and family, and am looking forward to visiting again!

Casa de Piedra, like Mindo overall, went well past my expectations. We stayed in one of the private bungalows and if was gorgeous. Everything was handmade and just beautiful. It was very peaceful and tranquil. The staff treated us like family and made a very effort to communicate in English. At breakfast I was served the best eggs I have ever eaten along with fresh pineapple juice and jam with fresh baked croissants. I highly recommend this property. It is away from the central part of Mindo so there was no noise but still only a 5 minute walk from the main street. If I come to Mindo again I will definitely be staying here a second time.

We stayed in the smaller cabin which wasn't spacious but fine for a few nights for our family of four. Only real complaint is the electric shower head heater doesn't work well so luke warm trickle showers at best. Pool isn't heated either so depending on the weather might be too cool to use. The owner Henry was very pleasant and helpful. Great food there as well.

You won’t get what you see as advertised

The only lady working tried her best but she had to do it all. We booked two rooms with private bathroom. Instead we received an area with two rooms sharing the same bathroom. She remarked that she will do it only because there no any other guests. Did not really understand what she meant by that. But we did not get the rooms we booked. There were too many rules like You can’t access your room with shoes. Which could be understandable but still inconsiderent.
Asked for more towels because were going to the pool and the request was ignored.
The location is ok. The surroundings are beautiful. But it wasnt a pleasant experience and wont reccommend anyone there.

Pretty much paradise.

This place is absolutely amazing!!! It's in a great spot alongside the river, is super peaceful, and the staff and dog (Sasha) there are incredibly friendly. The Wi-Fi worked great, showers were hot, and breakfast was one of the best we've had in our travels (eggs, home made buns, fresh fruit, fruit juice, fresh jams, butter, coffee, & tea). The only negative thing was that despite what the write-up here says, there is no private bathroom in the lodge. There are 3 seperate keyed bedrooms to one bathroom per floor. Although we were disappointed with this at first, it ended up not being an issue at all.

Very nice place to stay

Hotel Casa de Piedra was very nice however I would recommend a few changes like having more pathways leading from the reception area to the cabins and to the pool as heavy rain tends to cause mud and harder to try and keep place clean of shoe prints. Personnel very pleasant and accommodating. Due to very wet weather many insects found inside the cai. Jncluding spiders so may need to have bed netting installed as my husband was bitten by mozzies all over his arms and legs. Otherwise this hotel is great and very near main part of town.

Casa de Piedra Paradise

Casa de Piedra is a bit of paradise in Mindo. It is a short walk from the main Plaza. It is a quiet location with meditative sounds of birds and stream nearby. The grounds are beautiful with tall stands of bamboo, fruit trees and flowers. The staff friendly and attentive. The coffee and breakfast excellent.

A warm and friendly family-run lodging

My brother and I had a fantastic time at the Casa de Piedra in Mindo. We enjoyed the clean and cheerful facilities and lush grounds as well as our interactions with the friendly staff and fellow patrons. Sara, the host/receptionist, was wonderful. She made our stay very special and helped us plan our excursions to make the most out of our brief visit. Her piña coladas are epic! Not to be missed is the Tarabita (cable car)/hike to 7 waterfalls and bird watching in the wee hours of the morning (soooo many birds!). We had only 24 hours, so couldn't fit in the butterfly sanctuary, rafting, and zipline. Lots to do in Mindo and Casa de Piedra is well-situated to accomplish all these things.

Great little town and nice place to stay

We stayed one night and met the owner Henry. He has excellent English which is always a bonus for us non Spanish speaking.

He gave us an over view of the town, where to eat, what to see etc.

He sells tickets to the cable car, waterfalls and other attractions at the same price as if you were to buy elsewhere.

We were given a choice of three double rooms. We opted for the one that was west facing. It was smaller but nice and comfortable in the chalet.

The only slight issue was the shower was a little small and sometimes tempermental temperature wise.

Breakfast was good and filling and had delicious homemade jam.

If you are lucky you'll see some of the wonderful local wild life in the garden.

Beautiful spot in Mindo

WE stayed one night at Casa de Piedra as we arrived a day early in Mindo. It is a beautiful spot with a nice pool. Good breakfast. The room is very small, cramped and on the main floor so smells damp. The bathroom is shared by 3 rooms.The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. There was a tear in the screen so mosquitos could get in and my husband got bitten up.

My only complaint was that we only stayed 2 days!

Henry was an INCREDIBLE host to my husband, friend and me. He helped us to make the most of our time in Mindo-- arranging a tubing trip (do not skip this!)-- pointing out a cafe for live music-- giving us directions to the Casa Amarillo for hiking-- and ensuring we made it on the chocolate tour. He helped us with Spanish when we had some travel challenges and needed to rearrange plans. He and his staff made us great breakfast, drinks that were all too good, and were so friendly and accommodating. And, to boot- the location couldnt have been better- private, yet a stone's throw from the town. I'd go back in a minute!
