I can't recommend Casa Mojanda enough for anyone who is looking for a peaceful, quiet and lovely place to enjoy the Andean countryside. The casitas are charming with amazing views. It's an easy taxi ride of less than 10 minutes into Otavalo. There are an assortment of really cool day trips to be had from mountain lake hikes, visiting weavers... more

Loved Casa Mojanda since the day I first visited, so much that I bought a house on the land for many future trips. There are so many wonderful highlights at CM that make it a memorable place to stay again and again. You do not have to travel elsewhere to experience the lush beauty that Ecuador has to offer. The... more

I have been a regular guest at this extraordinary eco-lodge in Otavalo for over 5 years. I recommended it as the ideal destination for a special trip our extended family of 14 was planning. I also recommended it to a few other friends who were planning a trip to Ecuador over the Christmas holidays. In each case, the experience was... more

I am currently staying at Casa Mojanda, and plan to return and stay as long and as often as possible. I have been here since early December and was here earlier in 2008 as well. I cannot say enough about the wonderful environment, food and service by the dedicated staff at Casa Mojanda. During the busy holiday season I got... more

I would like warn visitors of claims made by Casa Mojanda on their mis-leading web site. I work as a lecturer in sustainable tourism at a leading university in the UK. I travelled around and stayed at various lodges in Ecuador earlier this year to take an audit of their sustainability and environmental claims. However, I was very distrubed by... more

Your readers should know that we have confirmed that the writer of this review was NEVER a guest at Casa Mojanda, much less a guest here for eight weeks. She was here two years ago to apply for a position as manager and was dismissed after two weeks for repeated failure to report to work and because she could not...

We had a very disappointing six-night experience at Casa Mojanda. They require advance payment by check mailed to Ecuador and I sent in our $1228 payment for six nights including breakfast and dinner (for two) two months in advance. I had enough trust to do this based on the glowing reviews on this web-site stating that this is a hands-on... more

My first trip to Casa Mojanda was in October 2005 with a small group. Since then I have returned to Mojanda at least three times. Not only is the Inn beautiful, serene and truly heavenly to look at, but the owners and the staff are extraordinary in every way. If you are lucky enough to get a cottage with a... more

It is much easier to write about places that aren't pleasant. I loved my stay here - a long weekend. The situation is gorgeous - on a hillside with great views. But then you get good views everywhere in Ecuador. This place is special as it nestles into the hillside - well designed to fit in with the countryside. Inside,... more

A peaceful and beautiful location. Very helpful and friendly young couple managing the property. Great food and warm atmosphere at meals. Clean, simple rooms - ours was a semi-detached building. (Other rooms have fireplaces and terraces - ours didn't.) The architecture is striking, mediterranean feel to it. But be ready to go up and down steps a lot! We felt... more

We spent two nights at Casa Mojanda and enjoyed our stay very much. The rooms are actually separate buildings and very cozy. The room we used was heated by an oil-filled radiator and there was also a fireplace, in which the staff lit a fire while we were at dinner. The room was simply decorated and the beds were comfortable... more
