Hotel Tambopaxi Lodge

Location is just in front of the volcano and one hour walking to the lagoon. Very warm place and there’s hot shower. Very tidy and clean rooms and good restaurant. Free coffee and tea and water. The issue was just that our room was a bit far from the reception and restaurant which could be not bad from other people.

Unbelievable natural beauty. The lodge sits in the National Park at the foot of the Cotopaxi Volcano. The accommodations are comfortable and the staff are super friendly. The meals are delicious and the service was outstanding in the restaurant. Each evening the wood stove in the guest rooms kept us warm and cozy. We took a horseback excursion and had an incredible experience out on the páramo under the volcano.

We were booked to ride the horses located on Tambopaci land last week. We had paid as part of a tour. Please avoid. We did not ride. Horses are in dreadful condition. They are underfed. Their eyes are dead and they shy away from the obviously harsh men who ‘break’ them in and are in charge. The tack is ill fitting and dangerous. No care is taken to limit weight or allocate horses to carry weight. Shoes were part on part off with nails left in hooves.||We refused to ride. These horsemen need to be charged with animal cruelty.||There are other local riding opportunities where horses are cared for.😪

Used the restaurant and really liked it however we also had a ride booked with the horses stables owned by this lodge.|It was absolutely horrible and we refused to ride.|The horses were in a terrible condition- severely underweight and starving, badly fitting tack, rusty bits, shoes hanging off and the men in charge of them were more interested in showing off than the welfare of the horses.|They also had no regard for the weight of the riders and the horses were literally buckling under the weight of riders too heavy for them.|It was soul destroying to see and had me in floods of tears…. |This place should be closed down on animal welfare grounds- please please don’t ride the horses there until they improve the care and welfare standards- there is absolutely no excuse for it

I stayed 2 nights at tambopaxi before summiting Cotopaxi, it is in a beautiful setting and well made lodge. It is understable that the prices are more expensive given that they are in a national park and kind of isolated. However, beside one employee/waiter which was just normal, I didnt find the staff friendly or particularly helpful, so this should definitely be improved. Still a good stay, and the food was very good

Wonderful place, comfortable rooms and delicious food. I can only recommend it.

We stopped for lunch arguably didn’t stay at the hotel. The restaurant is in the middle of no where and looks sketchy. However what a great dining experience at the volcano!! If you are in the park please stop there for food. The inside is cute and rustic. Staff and service was exceptional. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. It’s not gourmet but we loved it as delicious rustic in an isolated area. We were wonderfully impressed by the experience

Unique experience in being able to stay inside the National Park, and the views of Cotopaxi are outstanding! So 5-star location. But the rooms are definitely priced for the location. Simple, with good hot water and clean. However, the curtains are terribly difficult to move - only by reaching the rod itself would the rings slide to open or close the curtains. And the service excelled at saying "no". Seemed like everything we asked about related to the restaurant was "no", including if they could give us more of something else on the breakfast menu to accommodate an egg allergy at breakfast.
