Plan Your Trip to Baños – Where to Stay, Eat, Book & Go

Your Trip, Done

Every place listed here reflects the spirit of Baños we believe in: respect for the town, its nature, its people—and for you as a traveler.

Tourism in Baños is growing fast. And not always in the right direction. When businesses put profit over people or nature, the result is chaos: overcrowding, noise, and the erosion of what makes this town special.

‍We don’t just list services. We stand behind them. Choosing from our recommendations means supporting projects that care about quality, community, and keeping Baños true to itself.

With so many options online, it’s hard to know what’s real. This page helped me find a great Airbnb, real food, a kind local guide, and even transport to our next stop. Everything worked, and honestly, that’s all I needed.
