The staff is so incredibly friendly! Always there to help you and always with a smile. They organize many (high quality) trips and activities to make sure you get the best out of your stay in San Gil. The private room I stayed at was spacious, comfortable and clean. It had a good shower with hot water. The garden with jacuzzi is a nice place to relax and meet others. When I got sick during my stay, Shaun helped me get my medication and even brough it to my room. I felt super safe and comfortable here and would recommend this place to everyone.

Great hosts. Great breakfast. Great location...if you have a car as it is a bit outside of town. That said, being outside of town is one of its charms. Life doesn't get much better than burying yourself in one of the hammocks and uncoupling from the world.

No glass windows. Never stayed in a hostel where all the doors and windows are open. It had the doors to circulate the air inside the bunks. Wonderful sleep. The best hostel I've ever stayed in.

The garden was a beautiful spot to journal, meet other travellers, mediate, nap in a hammock or bird watching. The beds were comfy and they also gave you a towel to use during your stay!! Internet drops out sometimes but this is normal for the area.

Such a chill Hostel. The pod-style bed was insanely comfortable, the room and bathrooms were always clean. The breakfast is basic (eggs and bread) but I loved the fresh juices and fruits. The staff is soo lovely and helpful.

Perfectly located in a quiet street near the central plaza of the town. Beautiful property that has preserved architecture from colonial period and a touch of modernity (like the pool and well equipped communal kitchen). The walls of this hostel, like traditional houses of Barichara, are made with rocks and mud which keep the rooms cool during hot and dry days. Best price for a dorm bed compared to other hostel of this town!

I stayed in a private room for three or four days. Of all of the hostels in which I’ve stayed in South America, the staff here is the most helpful. They also organize activities and the general vibe is great. Very social, but not a loud party hostel. I can’t think of anything bad to say about the hostel.

This hostel is situation in the heart of Barichara, walking distance to everything in the quaint, beautiful town. The room exceeded our expectations as did the staff. Really enjoyed staying with the trip monkey hostel chain and would highly recommend.

This was one of my best Hostel experiences in 6 weeks of traveling in Colombia. Jane and Felipe go above and beyond to ensure that you enjoy your stay. I felt very welcome from the beginning. Their dogs are super sweet, too. Food is delicious. 100% recommend this place! :)

It is a great value for such place. I have stayed there more than a week because I wanted to retreat myself from last 2.5 months’ tiredness of traveling:) The hostel people are so friendly and hospitable. If you want to do activities, the hostel can arrange all kind of tours you can do around San Gil. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook. You can chill in the pool upstairs at a beautiful garden with the view of town. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity to go back to San Gil one day!
