Very quiet place with great service. The road to get there is not easy! But overall it helped our family relax with a fire place and great accommodation. Strongly recommended as in Ecuador the standards are not always consistent.

We spent two lovely nights at Chilcabamba. It's modern and comfortable, but also has character. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The lodge is in a spectacular setting in the countryside, with direct views of Cotopaxi but also another volcano, Pasochoa. Because of the altitude, the Cotopaxi area gets cool at night but the rooms have wood-burning stoves so stay warm. Chilcabamba also has a nice restaurant and comfortable lounge. Overall a lovely refuge on the fringes of the Cotapaxi national park. We hope to go back.

By far the best hotel we stayed at in Ecuador. We had expectations based on pics but the reality was even better. Extremely clean, fabulous staff, very comfortable common area. Easy drive to the volcano.

Amazing staff, food, view of cotopaxi, fireplace My only feedback is investing in having quieter rooms because i can still hear others. Also, have more signs in the park to make it easier to find the hotel

The hotel is a little bit challenging to reach. If you don't have an organized transportation, you should rent a SUV, since roads are partly really bumpy. But the place and the hotel are great. It is really quite and cosy. We had a fire place in our room. The food is good. And just after moving to another hotel not to far away we realized how great Chilcabamba was. We would like to come back immediately. We will miss it. So, if you need a nice place to disconnect from the was was world, Chilcabamba could be a good option for you.

Incredible place to stay, 2 nights was not enough. Jessica and the team really made me and my family very welcome. Excellent breakfast and dinner with amazing views of the 5 volcanoes and plenty of activities to do in the area. Would love to go back one day.

A great place with quality food. The staff are super nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious. The natural beauty around the hotel is breathtaking. Highly recommended. I would come back to this place.

It is a beautiful place where you will enjoy the tranquility, the natural landscape and the warmth of the staff who work there. The logde is far from the road but it is worth it because you really disconnect from everything. The staff is very attentive and always ready to help, I really hope to return sometime with my family when we think about vacations.

Had a wonderful 3 nights staying at Chilcabamba and exploring the area. The room was spectacular, newly renovated with a view to die for, a wood burning stove was lit for us before we returned each evening. The staff were all so kind and helpful, there are plenty of activities - just ask Jessica!!!! and we ended up having all our meals at the lodge as the food and wine was the best in the area. Highly recommend!!!
3-night trip

10/10

Jesica and her team went above and beyond to provide an excellent 3 night stay with my two young children. The rooms were spacious and elegantly decorated, the food in the restaurant was delicious and local, and all the staff was extremely attentive to anything we needed during our stay. We arranged two day tours (Cotopaxi and Quilotoa) while there and they were excellent and well worth the cost (our guide was fantastic!). This is all not to mention the amazing views from the lodge. You won't regret choosing Chilcabamba!

My husband and I had the most outstanding stay. We stayed for 6 nights in total. Throughout the entire stay we felt so at home. Breakfast was a great quality as was the lunches, boxed lunches for trip days and the evening meals. Our room was super spacious, the fire was delightful and made it really cosy. Jessica helped arrange all our guides for hiking and visiting the Cotopaxi area. I would change nothing and would return again if I ever come back. The views were breathtaking and I don’t think the pictures on here really show how great the lodge is or the views, so you have a delightful surprise ahead of you if you book. We saw hummingbirds around the lodge and had really good local liquors to enjoy by the fire a night.

Beautiful lodge near Cotopaxi. We loved our small wood fireplace in the room. A young gentleman would come to set up the fire everyday. The unplanned highlight of the stay was actually a “stray“ dog. According to the receptionist, the dog does not belong to the lodge but shows up on the lodge property frequently. The dog was there when we checked in. She (we think it’s a girl) somehow indicated to us to follow her. We had no activity planned, so we walked with her. For one hour, the dog led our mini hike and she sure knew the way well in that area. She was so intelligent, peaceful yet playful. It was an amazing experience. Our day and that walk would’ve been boring if the dog weren’t there. My partner was not a fan of dog but still fell deeply in love with her. Seemed other guests, especially solo ones, liked her company too. Staff was all very kind and helpful. Horseriding in the national park was very beautiful, but previous riding experience highly recommended. Lunch menu was a bit too simple. Real empanadas would be a good idea to add on the menu. Like mentioned above, there aren’t much to do in the lodge, especially when the weather was bad. Extra activity would be nice: such as walk with the lodge dog :)

The hotel is in a great location with an incredible view of Cotopaxi. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and we loved the house ponchos and community firepit. But the meals left something to be desired. Breakfast (which was included) was small and bland. Dinner (which was a $21 charge) was equally unimpressive. We had some wine we brought with us, and the hotel wanted to charge us a corking fee or else pay to "rent" the corkscrew. I wouldn't stay there again, even for the great view. :(
