This place is exceptional! Nicest place we have stayed in Ecuador. Super clean, super comfy, great facilities, the staff are all awesome and the chef is an amazing cook. Great views with massage, yoga and sound therapy available. The pool and temezcal (sweat lodge) is the icing on the cake. Lovely jungle walks near by. An absolutely amazing beautiful place to relax and recharge

Beautiful property off the main road.
Beautiful property off the main road. Only there for one night on our way down to Cuenca. Would have liked to stay longer and enjoy the pool area. Breakfast was phenomenal! Tim also gave us invaluable information regarding our planned drive down to Cuenca which almost certainly saved us from a much longer and potentially disastrous travel day.

Tena is a very peaceful place to spend short holidays or weekends. Although you cannot expect best of the facilities, this place is really good for escaping daily routine and relaxing.
Cavernas de jumandy, puerto mishualli and Laguna azul are some of the must visit places. Transportation facilities are limited and hence it is recommended to hire a car or take your own car.
The Route from Quito to Tena goes through dense forest and hence frequent rains and landslides can be expected. Better to enquire about the route before starting the travel.

Come to Tena for the surrounding area: world-class rivers for kayaking and rafting, plus some amazing indigenous cultures and beautiful nature reserves. Tena itself feels safe and friendly and has a certain charm, but its definitely not pretty like Quito or Cuenca. The setting of the town is pretty beutiful, especially if you can get up high (like you are at Hostal Pakay) and see the valley in the afternoon/evening- the sun setting over the Andes can be pretty stunning. Overall I mostly used it as a base for kayaking, and for that, it's pretty great.
No better place in Tena ! Marcia (the owner) is wonderful, so caring, funny and helpful. The hostel is close to shops, mercados and to the bus terminal, but very quiet at the same time. Very friendly vibes and the sweet dogs will make you stay there longer (after stealing your place on the hammock and your heart ;) haha kitchen, rooftop, clean space, comfortable beds, grill.. Amenities are all very good and the space is big. Many activities around Tena, beautiful waterfalls and swimming spots to visit. Muchísimas gracias Marcia 😊
The property itself is a beautiful lodge nested in the rainforest on the edge of Tena. The rooms were comfortable and clean. I was able to do a walking yoga in the forest organized by the hotel and it was phenomenal! (Though I would recommend closed toed shoes and covered ankles.) We thoroughly enjoyed our vegetarian breakfast made at the lodge. Staff was also super flexible with our checkout time on late notice and we were so incredibly grateful. We will absolutely stay again when we return!
Jungle Roots is an amazing place! We loved the composting toilets and structures made of up-cycled materials. They are really committed to protecting the environment, supporting locals, and educating people about the issues that the Amazon faces. The vegan breakfasts were awesome and so tasty. Diego is an incredible host and guide. One of the best white water experiences we’ve ever had. Beds were comfortable too. Would highly recommend!
I really liked the place, the bad was good and they have tiny and nice kitchen. When I needed help from the owner she gave me a lot of contacts of volunteering programs and agencies. When I didn't have a place to sleep when the hostel was full she even let me and my friend to stay in a private room for the same price.
Really good and simple place if you need to stay in Tena to find any activity in the jungle.
The grounds are excepcional!!!!
The rooms are small, as they should be to preserve nature. Beautiful nature lodge. Great pools, tennis courts. Wonderful for families, friends, couples, and events! The rooms are a considerable distance from parking but the staff is very helpful. The restaurant area is beautiful. This place is surrounded by wonderful nature. Thank you for the great memories in Tena.
The beds are perfectly comfortable, the breakfast is incredible, everything is made with much love. The owner is very kind. The hostal feels very family-like. The location in the „jungle“ is amazing but close to Tena as well (20‘ walk). Such a great place to stay to explore the Amazonas. The owner also offers a lot of activities.
Splendid place, amicable staff, the gardens are a delight, i had a room with a beautiful view of Tena! All areas are kept spotless. The place is quiet at night too, which makes for a good rest, and a great break especially if you've been traveling for a while! Great value! Intend on returning. Muchas gracias! 💚💐
The owner David was great (and speaks English). He gave me rides into town, helped me with tour agencies, gave me tips for good restaurants. The Inn itself is modern and rooms with air conditioning! Secure, hot water, clean, large kitchen. Strongest wifi I’ve had in Ecuador. Very good value for Tena.
Beautiful and clean apartment in a good location. Even without a car, you can comfortably walk to the shops. Not far from the accommodation is a park with monkeys. The host is incredible! He really helped us with everything and we even came back! If we will ever be in Tena again, definitely here!
Beautiful cabins with an amazing breakfast. Bespoke kayak and rafting tours, which can include lessons. Was impressed with the focus on safety and fun. Absolutely perfect jungle stay. Like many places in Ecuador, full payment at the hotel is in cash or local bank transfer only.
Everyone was very nice and accommodating at Hostal Limoncocha. We were able to leave our luggage there in between stays while traveling into the Amazon. The room was very clean and we had hot water in the shower and fans in the room. Great price.
The owners were very friendly and helpful.
They offered a very good breakfast. The room was spacy and the fan provided the necessary coolness.
Tena offers nice areas where you can enjoy nature. In the evening Tena turns into a town of lights.
One of the best breakfasts we've had at a hotel, anywhere. The hosts and staff were all warm and very friendly. If you stay here, you MUST go out kayaking; Tim is a fantastic teacher and guide.
The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Tony's tours were excellent. Tony(the owner) is very passionate about preserving the Amazon rainforest. The breakfast was excellent!
beautiful place just outside of tena, great rooms, clean, pool area lovely - including steam baths, food was great (ordered in from local restaurants), great cocktails, friendly staff
The lodge is accessible via public transport from Tena and you can find interesting activities in walking distance. The place itself is located wonderfully in the midst of nature.
