La Casa Amarilla is a wonderful, homey, scenic stay! Bettina and Darwin are wonderful hosts, and we felt incredibly welcome! Bettina is very responsive (and fluent in many languages!) and an amazing cook. Freshly baked bread and homemade jam for breakfast? An absolute dream! Darwin also offers many tour options in Baños so if you’re staying here, leave some room in your itinerary for these adventures. We would definitely stay here again!

Super gracious and friendly hosts, and an incredible view of Banos!

Felt like a family stay, very warm and kind owners, Bettina and Darwin create such a welcoming atmosphere and are super helpful. You will get an amazing view over Banos from the terrace, a beautiful garden that is also being used for home-cooked meals.

Family stay with a view

Excellent stay. This is a family run hotel so very unofficial and welcoming making solo impromptu travel much easier when any reservation changes occur. As a solo traveler I felt extremely safe staying there and felt more like home than a hotel. One of the owners was also immensely helpful towards helping me arrange last minute tours I wanted to do and really made my stay in Banos exceptional. Yes, the hotel is on a steep inclined hill - but you wouldn't have such spectacual views without being on a hill. If you can do a steep 13min hike, it is WELL WORTH IT. The trail is lit up in the evening so no issue coming back after dark either. There is an unofficial restaurant as part of the hotel, so food or drinks are also not an issue, if not wanting to come up/down the mountain too frequently. HIGHLY recommend the property's horse offer when arriving (horse if muddy post rain but I was told a taxi can go up there as well...)- you do not want to be dragging your luggage up that hill AND hiking it for the first time.

Spectacular Views

This hotel is a little off the beaten path but...has a lovely view of Baños. It was super relaxing eating breakfast on the terrace and enjoying the view of the city, along with their gardens! Bettina is very friendly and accommodating and speaks English. They have a adorable cat, dog, and kids that made us feel at home. They helped us arrange transport back to the airport too. We were in room 2 it’s smallish, but it had hot water and clean linens, we felt it was a very reasonable price. I do wish their had been a bath rug as the floor is tiled, and was a little slick stepping out of the shower. We did hear some noise, sirens, dogs, roosters ect...but all the places we stayed in Ecuador seemed to have noisy hotel rooms (maybe the concrete construction) so we were prepared with white noise to play on our phone. They served a very good breakfast! Bettina even steamed milk for my coffee (seems Ecuadorians don’t drink coffee with cream). ***Be warned it is a steep 10-15 min hike with loose gravel, to get up to this place! Do yourself a favor if you have a suitcase, and have the hotel prepare the horse to meet you at the gate where the pavement ends, to bring it up ($6) Its very worth it!*** Good time here!

A beautiful bed and breakfast in Banos!

Bettina and Darwin were exceptional hosts. The beds were comfortable, the food was amazing and the view was spectacular. It’s a hike to get to the place but well worth it.

I had an excellent time at Casablanca Amarilla. It’s a lovely place perched on the hillside. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Friendly owners with good advice on what to do and the connections to get you where you want to go.  They even cooked us cuy one night. We did a tour to the Devils Pailon waterfall the owner arranged for us and it was a highlight. Banos is very touristy so it was nice to get above the city and experience the view without the noise of being in town.  It is a steep 10-15 minute hike up to the hotel so be prepared.

Amazing view above Banos

Very clean, hospitable and attentive staff. The hike is doable with a load that you can carry, but it is an uphill hike. I would recommend the horses if available.  Staff offered assistance with luggage even before checking in. 

Nice getaway 

We arrived in the evening and we were welcomed very warmly by Bettina and her son. The view was amazing over Baños, very much worth the 15 mins hike up the mountain road.We felt more like being invited at a family, Bettina and Darwin personally cooked our diners which were always very delightful. They use a lot of fresh ingredients picked from the garden, like for tea.Highly recommended, gives that extra quality touch to your stay. + The animals (rabbits, dogs, chickens and more) were very fun to have around us.
