This is a unique place, hand-built by the owners with natural materials and beautiful techniques. The location is absolutely stunning in midst of nature. The perfect place to go on hiking explorations to small villages, see Barichara and relax. The staff is very friendly and super helpful with any requests! Flo also guided us in re-planning our journey through Colombia sharing his experience. Plus the food is delicious and all of it home made.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. The building is an old home that has been converted into rooms and has a nice feel. The kitchen is good and there js a refrigerator that you can use. The location is good, Lulu the dog is very cute, and I would happily stay here again. There are activities for those who want to join in (football, tejo, salsa, etc.) in collaboration with other hostels if you want to meet people but stay at a more relaxed environment. The breakfast is good and the restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner.

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! :)

The hostel is absolutely beautiful. Bathrooms were clean, the food in the restaurant delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. They kept in touch even before my arrival and helped me to organize the trip from Bogotá to the hostel! It's a great place to hang out and relax. I found the transport to Barichara pretty relaxed. You can either walk to the main road for 15 minutes and take a bus that runs frequently or pay a bit more for a tuktuk to take you right from the hostel.

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!
