San Jorge de Quito Eco-lodge was excellent, though we didn´t take any tours - the location and services were great! We visited the Reserve Loop Trail and some of Inca Trail. The views, especially of the waterfalls and surroundings are gorgeous. Everything was ideal – the food was delicious – the trails, the lodging were well taken care of and the staff was very helpful. How you can improve? No need.

We had an enjoyable stay here.  The meals were really nice and filling.  I loved the style of all the eco-lodge, especially the rooms.  The grounds were immaculately kept.  All the staff was great and friendly but I’d like to especially mention Vicente who provided excellent service to us.  I suspect he is ‘superman’ as we saw him waitering us, gardening, cleaning the pool, etc.  I loved seeing all the hummingbirds. We enjoyed the walk on the blue trail. Beautiful views – loved wildflowers on the hike. Comfortable, cozy room. Rooms were great, as same as sauna.

We took self-guided hikes on the trails at San Jorge Botanical Reserve/Quito. The maps and signage are very helpful and the trails very enjoyable.  The waterfall/canyon trail is especially beautiful, but the other trail gives a good contrast in habitat for birders.  Everything was fantastic and we especially enjoyed and appreciated the service and interaction we had from/with Vicente.

Your accommodations are historic, warm and welcoming for a weary traveler.  Your hospitality is superb, the best!  Most of all, you have built a very special place, on a very special mountain in a very beautiful city.  This place and the people of Quito are my favorite in all of South America!

Good transfers waiting for us in the airport. Pleasant breakfast. Room was fine. Javier and Vicente very helpful and couteous

We found you listed in the Frommers Travel Guide. Downtown Quito was very interesting.  We loved San Jorge de Milpe Orchid & Bird Reserve, and our guide Milton, who also took us to Mindo Butterflies which was a real treat.   And the Equator museum!   Horseback riding with Paula and Vicente was fun.  Papallacta Hot Springs with Myra was wonderful.  Otavalo with Myra was excellent.  She was full of fun and helpful suggestions with shopping and marketing.  We also went to Cotocashi leather village – excellent.  Easy downhill mountain biking in Tandayapa with Vicente.  Excellent way to end our trip.  Just a beautiful, exotic ride.  We were so happy with our visit here in everyway.  I felt taken care of from the moment I connected with Cheryl by email, to our arrival to be met by George, to the care Francisco took of us everyday.  It felt like family.  I am dazzled by what your eco-lodges have to offer.  I would not hesitate to recommend San Jorge and indeed will do my best to promote it as I respect the eco-lodges goals.  We had a spectacular time.  My four-teen year old son loved it.  We hope to return soon and bring friends and family.

What a beautiful place!! If you like a peaceful setting in the mountains, surrounded by animals and beautiful flowers, this is the place.  Jorge, Sr., was a guide for a wonderful hike in the hills above the Hosteria.  Loved the llama family, the mustang horses and the turkeys behind the restaurant.  The pool could have been at the finest resort.  The architecture of the Hosteria was so picturesque, I couldn’t stop taking photos.  Thank you for a wonderful experience.Horseback Riding Tour was excellent!  We enjoyed our stay very much.  The grounds are beautiful and the staff very friendly.  The food was very good.  We will be back!  Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at the cozy San Jorge Eco-Lodge, above the bustle of Quito.  The rooms were unique, the staff extra helpful, and the owner very gracious and attentive.  A good base for activities out of Quito.
