The hosts were very friendly and made us feel like home. They talked to us a lot and gave us many tips for things to do in the area. The whole experience was amazing, it was my favorite place in Colombia. In the middle of nature, almost no tourists, a really great and probably more authentic experience of the country.

Luz and family made you feel at home in Casa Victoria. The rooms are basic, but you have a comfortable bed and a hot water shower. Breakfast was different every morning and it was delicious and plentiful. Luz has a vast knowledge of Pijao and the area.

I loved it all. I came for a few days and ended up staying a whole week ! This hostel really is a gem. The location is great. The facilities are just ... I mean, can you imagine having your breakfast with such a beautiful view of the mountains, watching the birds come and go ? This is just heaven. There is also solid wifi, so that as a digital nomad I could work (in stunning environment) without a problem. The breakfast are so delicious that you're just looking forward to it every morning... and the best of the best is the owner of the hostel, Doña Luz, who is just a diamond ! A woman with a warm heart, with lots and lots of advices to visit the surroundings of Pijao, who makes you feel at home and with who you laugh from the morning to the evening. I just left and I already miss this place !!

It’s a very cozy and charming place. No luxury at all, simply with good taste. I have booked for one night and stayed 3! Luz Marina is a very nice host and I felt at home immediately.

I had limited knowledge of this hostel as I didn't really read the reviews, but only knew that the location seemed fine and the price was reasonable, also the photos showed a simple set up which I was happy with. Its fair to say I could have stayed in Pijao longer just to stay at Casa Victoria! This place is solely owned by Doña Luz who treats you as a friend/family member. Luz is the most wonderful genuine person who gets so much joy from having guests stay with her. I spent so much time chatting to her whilst she cooked and made coffee in the kitchen. And the kitchen needs to be mentioned here because the view from kitchen/living room is just spectacular and its not shown in any of the photos. Birds visit whilst you sit and drink coffee. It was a very peaceful and beautiful way to wake up in the morning. Nos vemos la proxima año Luz para comer pan de masa madre :D

Luz is a helpful, fun host. The open "balcony" has a great view. The rooms, doors, and overall place are different than your standard spot; for example, a broken-off plastic clothes hanger piece is the lock on the bathroom door. The building is on the way into town from Armenia and then on the way out if you are returning there.

Brilliant hostel with lovely family feel - each morning I was made a different breakfast, each of which were fantastic. Owner really useful when recommending and organising things to do in the area.

Host very helpful but just ask her to speak slowly if you're not a native speaker! Old-school small, friendly hostel with small sociable area with hammock and games. Very secure and main door always locked and monitored.

Doña Luz makes everybody feel at home. She can arrange a great coffee tour. It's a modest and nice place.

The host (Luz) is awesome. So friendly and talkative :-) She goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and made us a nice breakfast. The rooms are big and the beds the most comfortable we have slept on in Colombia. There is a lovely spot to have breakfast and relax in the evening that looks out over the river. Lots of nice birds in the trees. The shower was hot, which was a pleasant surprise. The town itself is cute and very local. We felt safe there and in the town and hotel. We loved our stay and won't forget it. Thank you Luz 🥰
