    Dorms very basic, beds without lights, curtain, plug. Not in too good shape.

    Nice hostel with good vibes.

    Great hostel, beautiful social atmosphere and in an absolutely stunning location!

    Dorm was a little dark and lacking ventilation in the bathroom, but honestly this wasn't a problem! Guests could have made a better effort to keep the kitchen clean in the evenings, so many people cooking one after the other that no one has a real chance to properly clean up after themselves. However this is not the fault of the hostel and as I say, staff cleaned it every morning and left it spotless!

    Wonderful hostel in beautiful location 20 minutes walking out of Guatape. Staff are fantastically helpful and friendly, large property with loads of varied spaces for any and all activities whether you want to chill and read, slackline, play music, socialise, paint, do yoga/workouts etc. Location is beautiful (don't stay in town!) with trails to waterfalls and a mirador beginning directly from the property, and you can walk up to the observation deck to watch the sunset everynight or use it for yoga/stretching in the morning (or any time!). Kitchen is large and cleaned every morning, dorm was comfortable and shower had hot water. Well stocked grocery shop, about 5 minutes walking away, that sells everything you would need to cook yourself a good meal.

    I wish the breakfast had been a little less expensive, though it was excellent. aside from that I have no complaints!

    the meal i had there was wonderful! the perfect fuel for my adventures, it was also a nice short walking distance from the town, so it was nice and quiet, but not too far from the grocery store or any of the tourist centres in town. it was also nice to be so close to the natural spaces nearby.

    My suggestion would be some time is taken to clear up some of the accumulated rubbish in the gardens…broken skate ramp etc. It wasn’t awful by any means but would just help ensure nature is looking at its best

    I loved my stay here, it was such a wonderful hostel. The hostel is about 25 minutes walk from the town, set in the wonderful countryside around Guatape. Sitting in the gardens was so peaceful and if you wanted to hang out with other guests then everyone was very welcoming. Like many of the other reviews mention, the vibe of the place is just lovely. Note that one of the private double rooms is off the main common area so if you’re a light sleeper you may want to check if you’re away from the common area (I understand that there are some other private rooms further away).

    Nothing!

    On my first night there was a random jam session happening, guests and staff played music together at a camp fire, but on a super high level. Besides that you get great info about the trails that are starting directly from the hostel and the vibe is just super beautiful. All the staff was amazingly nice but I'd like to highlight Oscar here as his lovely energy gives a special touch to the place.

    some of the equipment (some guitars and the miniramp) were broken/needed new strings and the cupboards in the dorms were quite small, but all that didn't really matter compared to everything else.

    just a 20 minute walk away from the busy town, in the beautiful backcountry of guatapé lies this gem of a backpacker hostel. if you search for a chill, easygoing place with good music, nice vibes, bonfires and down to earth, kind-hearted people, you will find it here. you can slackline, play guitar, play oldschool video games, hang out in the large area around the house, buy handcrafted things and chocolate, be creative in lots of ways, go for short but adventurous hikes, and have a good time all around. great diy/all together spirit.

    There was some fierce dogs on the way to the hostel. A few bugs in the common area but they didn't bother us.

    Very unique place to stay and beautiful landscape. Lots of activities and retro gaming machine. Room was very spacious and bed was amazing. Water was kinda warn. Staff was super helpful.

    I think the cleaning could be a little better organised. Scrubbing concrete outside the bottom dorm before 8am while people are still asleep and cleaning the toilets and showers at 8.30am which is ‘rush hour’ is a bit frustrating as there are a limited number.

    Welcoming and lots of different, comfortable places to sit. Nice breakfast. Great staff. Nice to be a bit in the countryside and hearing the birds! Short, interesting walk to town.

    The private rooms are located in the different building, you have your privacy, but at the same time it is a little bit ”far” from the main building and common areas. At the different building had a own kitchen and lounge area, but nobody was there. In our room, we had spiders and cockroaches. One spider was a huge!

    In the Superior room was nice view to the mountains and it was spacious. They had good breakfast for really good price. The location is a little bit far (25 min walk to the centre) but the view was great. In the main building they are selling beautiful handmade crafts.
