Hicimos reserva en este lugar ya que creímos haber encontrado una buena oferta en Expedia en cuanto al precio en comparación a otras propiedades con características similares. Sin embargo, la pésimo administración y calidad del servicio indispuso nuestra estadía incluso antes de haber llegado al solicitar pagos por adelantado en fechas anteriores a las mostradas en Expedia, perder recibos de pago, llamar para cambiar las características de la reserva y querer subir el precio sin avisarnos todo esto con el "afán de ayudarnos", finalmente dar un trato por demás irrespetuoso y hasta sexista en el momento de recibir nuestra queja. Las habitaciones que recibimos en el tercer piso no fueron las más cómodas para una familia y menos las más seguras para una niña de 3 años. El baño es pequeño e incómodo es imposible regular el agua caliente o fría, el agua se calienta tanto que hasta te quema. No tiene servicio de restaurante como lo indica en Expedia. Lo que rescataría de este lugar son los espacios verdes que son muy bonitos, el lugar es limpio y ordenado, el desayuno al aire libre es agradable y la piscina en horas de la tarde.
Grounds at the hotel are really beautiful. You can see lots of birds and even a resident agouti. The hotel is conveniently located a 5 minute walk from Mindo square with lots of restaurants and amenities. Staff is very friendly and helpful and can book excursions for you. Breakfast is really good with a variety of items served.

I bought my stay via Expedia, and was asked to pay VAT tax at the property, what I denied, and also I was asked to pay additional 10 dollars for the 2 old baby breakfast. However, breakfast was very simple and plain. Overall location is OK, though I would say too much of aggressive sale.

Disliked: Amenities
I didn’t think this place proves good value for money. The “cabins” are mostly small, rustic rooms. The tin roofs are super loud when it rains. The showers are electric so lukewarm water at best. And there is no restaurant; you can order a meal with a 2 hour reservation. The property does not have parking spaces - street parking only.

La reserva la cancelaron y nos dejaron sin estadía. Nos dijeron que por llegar tarde habían cedido la habitación inclusive avisando con anterioridad que íbamos a llegar tarde. Además de que la atención al momento de llegar fue descortez.
Overall good experience. Staff is very polite and helpful but the check in process was very slow. It took us 45 minutes of wait.
The bungalow we got was nice and clean. However, we did not have water due to some problems with the water main supply. The hotel water reserve did not work on our place.
Breakfast was good.
I only stayed at Casa de Piedra one night but it was exactly what I needed. Quiet, clean, and comfortable with friendly staff and a great location. It was quite an easy walk into the main town with all the shops and restaurants. But just out of the way enough to be very tranquil and peaceful.
Mindo was beautiful and so was the experience at Casa de Piedra. Henry and his staff were incredibly accommodating when my booking changed and I needed new accomodations. The breakfast was delicious with homemade jam and manjar de dulce. My only complaint is that while the showers aren't cold, they aren't exactly hot either. Overall, I would highly recommend staying there.
Excellent accommodations in the heart of Mindo. The deluxe private bungalow was both charming and accommodating with an easy walk to all that Mindo has to offer. Staff was knowledgeable and service was excellent. With many hostels and economical options available in Mindo, I would still recommend Casa de Piedra to friends and family, and am looking forward to visiting again!
Casa de Piedra, like Mindo overall, went well past my expectations. We stayed in one of the private bungalows and if was gorgeous. Everything was handmade and just beautiful. It was very peaceful and tranquil. The staff treated us like family and made a very effort to communicate in English. At breakfast I was served the best eggs I have ever eaten along with fresh pineapple juice and jam with fresh baked croissants. I highly recommend this property. It is away from the central part of Mindo so there was no noise but still only a 5 minute walk from the main street. If I come to Mindo again I will definitely be staying here a second time.
