I stayed at Luna Runtun in April 2011. As other reviewers have said, the location of the hotel is spectacular with fabulous views over the town of Banos, and the rooms are set within beautiful gardens. It was raining heavily for most of our stay which may have affected our impressions a little, as it did seem very quiet -... More

We were at this hotel just recently and had a fabulous experience with our stay. The hotel is uniquely situated on a mountain ridge, on the flanks of the Tungurahua volcano @ about 2200 m elevation. We were fortunate to be upgraded to the "Imperial Suite" which had a fabulous view of Banos town. We had a short overnight stay... More

Luna Runtun is a beautiful hotel made spectacular by the scenery around it. I went with my boyfriend and parents. We had planned on staying only one night, but were so entranced we stayed two. I don't remember a jot about the staff, except that one of the gardeners led us to a path where we could climb up to... More

We came for one night and stayed for three. The suites are incredible, get one with a fireplace if possible. The pools are beautiful, both day and night, with great views of Baños. We hiked down, not easy but do-able, and took a taxi back. We were glad to have chosen Luna Runtun over someplace in the town, it's location... More

The setting of this lodge is second-to-none in Banos. If you want to be part of the action in Banos, stay elsewhere. If you want to experience a gorgeous view and some peace and quiet, Luna Runtun is for you. Our room was nice, the thermal baths were incredible. However, avoid room 46 if you want to have a functioning... More

It,s only about $5 by taxi fro Banos. For me it was better to stay in Banos, and just visit here for a day. The pools here are beautiful and give an excellent view of Banos below, and a better view of the volcanoes above. I loved soaking in the pool, until it got dark. So I dried off and... More

Yes, the views are stunning but for the price that Luna Runtun charges you should expect much more. The service was very poor and not accommodating. We waited 45 minutes for our spa appointment even though we had reservations. The hot tube water was lukewarm so you couldn't really enjoy the gorgeous views. The staff wasn't very service oriented.
