hotéis em Salento

Prós: Nice garden, hammocks, balconies

Contras: I got bitten by bedbugs during the night I spent there.

Prós: The staff members were helpful, the location is central.

Contras: Rooms are quite small to be used as dorms. Considering that Salento is often used as base for day trips, I would recommend adding a packed breakfast option for those who have to leave the hostel before the official breakfast time.

Prós: Cheap and clean rooms. Loved the hammoks around there

Contras: Very small rooms! We slept in a 4 bed room and it was not possible to store the 4 packbacks in there.

Prós: The place is really cool , perfect to meet various people and chill a lot , in the center of salento near every accommodation , I really recommande this hostel

Prós: all was great

Contras: there is no

Prós: Social atmosphere

Contras: We had to change room which meant I had to pack 2 days in a row. Why not just out the people who haven't arrived yet in the room we have to move to? Joke.

Prós: The staff were incredible. Very kind and helpful.

Contras: Not a great place if you want to get quite sleep, but a great place to socialize, as they have an outdoor kitchen. The small casita down by the communal kitchen was very loud, and the staff was kind enough to let us switch to a quieter room the next day. However, loud music still plays until 11p, sometimes until midnight.

Prós: O espaço geral é bonito, colorido e bem ajardinado.

Contras: A cabana era extremamente básica e pequena, pouco mais cabia que a cama e não havia nem um cabide ou sítio para pendurar roupas. Os funcionários não eram muito simpáticos.

Prós: Free coffee. Birds outside the rooms and a porch in front of the room.

Contras: Oh boy.... We made a booking for a private room with a private bathroom. Upon arrival, man at the reception said that there was no record of our booking and told us that "our" room had already been given to someone else. After some 15min he realized that we had indeed made a booking, but there was no room for us. Instead, he offered us to stay in one of the dormitory rooms (that were available at the moment) and said that we would get a shared bathroom that was outside the room and that we would be the only ones that could use it, so in his words it was a private bathroom. That was not true, since we had to share the bathroom with several people. Now, I don't mind hostels, but when travelling as a couple and paying for a private room, this was not acceptable. They didn't want to cancel the booking so we could find an appropriate room, they suggested that we cancel the booking (which was non-refundable). When we said we would call booking.com to resolve the problem, they begged us not to. At one moment, the manager came to help, but she was a little bit drunk so gave up quickly They said that our room would be available the next day, so once again we had to pack our stuff, leave them in the storage area (kitchen) and check in again the next day. The new room was, 2x2.5m with a bathroom that was 1x1,5m. The bathroom consisted of a showerhead placed above the toilet (no sink). Room had two doors and only one of them could be locked (with a piggie bank padlock), the other door was a shed door that needed to be ''secured'' with a metal hook. To be fair, they offered us a discount (in the amount of 3$, which was the difference between dormitory room and a private room) and gave us free towels.

Prós: Nice breakfast served in the garden! Staff organized nice tours and sols tickets to coffee farms.

Contras: There was no window in our room.

Prós: Simpatia dos funcionários, pequeno-almoço bom, localização e limpeza.

Contras: Água falhou durante um duche, quarto quente e sem ar condicionado, falta de iluminação no quarto, falta de toalha para o chão após o banho, almofada muito alta, colchão desconfortável, cama pequena para um casal de adultos e informação incorreta quanto ao serviço de lavandaria sendo cobrado um valor superior ao inicialmente comunicado.

Prós: Nice atmosphere, centrally located and close to a lot of bars/restaurants and shops. The room was spacious and clean, with comfy beds. Friendly and helpful staff. They did our laundry overnight, for a decent price. The breakfast has a good choice of food, with eggs being prepared for you as you like them.

Contras: It was quite loud in the early morning, e.g. when people were in the corridors and shouting "Breakfast!" to each other. We had dinner at the restaurant, which was really bad. Granted, the atmosphere is nice and also the preparation of the food is. But we had a trout which didn't taste fresh at all.

Prós: Boa limpeza, pessoal muito simpático e prestável em todos os pedidos, decoração com muito bom gosto.

Contras: Pequeno almoço com pouca variedade e com demora na reposição, mas de boa qualidade. Dificuldade com o chuveiro: água falha algumas vezes e pode estar demasiado quente ou só morna, difícil de temperar. Quarto pequeno (duplo conforto) e escuro. Teria classificado com 4 estrelas se não fosse um mal entendido: foi-nos dito que a lavandaria cobrava determinado preço por 15kg de roupa. No check out fomos informados que afinal seria por 15 peças... o erro não foi assumido.

Prós: Hotel espetacular, fantastico e incrivel. Localização perfeita e instalações inimagináveis para um hotel neste valor. Café da manha sensacional, o melhor de toda nossa viagem e o restaurante que esta conectado com ele é independente mas trabalham em colaboração pois o cafe da manhã é oferecido nele. Tem pão feito lá mesmo, ovos sensacionais e a geleia de amora que mais parecia uma compota! Que delicia! Nao pense em outro lugar em Salento e eleve sua experiência nesse povoado à outro nivel e nao deixem de conhecer o Valle del Cocora. E ainda tem uma garagem subterrânea. Quero voltar e me hospedar pelo menos 3 noites pois uma goi insuficiente para tudo o que há para conhecer lá em Salento.

Contras: O chuveiro poderia ter jatos mais generosos, apesar disso é MUITO bom pois tem uma agua super quente que é de aquecimento solar e é surpreendentemente quente.

Prós: Everything was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant upstairs was very nice, and the staff were excellent.

Contras: The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, so there is a lot of work going on, which is not very peaceful. It didn’t affect our enjoyment of our stay, but it would have been nice to know about the works ahead of our stay.

Prós: I stayed here in 2015. Came back in 2020 ! Still the same great property. They now have a new restaurant on property, breakfast was awesome. Rooms are basic but always clean.

Contras: The only problem I had was checking in. So I made the booking several months in advance. My credit card was charged the full amount. There was some disconnect when I told the receptionist I had already been charged. Fortunately I confirmed this with a message to the property prior to leaving. I showed her the text back from property and she tracked down the payment. All Good.

Prós: possui estacionamento, restaurante anexo, quarto grande.

Contras: um pouco barulhento, sem frigobar.

Prós: Location is great, but salento is so small you can literally stay anywhere and it's a great location. Restaurant is lovely.

Contras: The room had no window, just a little look out into the foyer so you had to keep it shut the whole time because people were walking past. It's like this on all levels. The photos make it look like you have a view.

Prós: Staff was great breakfast was great

Contras: A little bit of an uphill walk to get to the center of the plaza

Prós: The hotel is soooo pretty. Prettier than on the pictures. There is only one complaint that we had: THAT WE WANTED TO STAY THERE FOREVER. the staff was really friendly. The breakfast was good and fresh.

Prós: Great location and super friendly, helpful staff!!

Prós: Very nice staff and nice adjacent restaurant.

Contras: Noise from construction work in the afternoon

Prós: Location is great, close to the finca road and bus station. Low prices

Contras: We had a room on the second floor above the kitchen, it was noisy until 10pm and we could smell odors from the kitchen. Equipment is quite old including towels, bed linens,... Breakfast was not good and very limited. Even though we paid for it we did not took it there the second day. Staff except Jesus was not super friendly and did not speak English

Prós: very friendly staff nice breakfast very big room

Contras: it was pretty noisy, because our room was above the kitchen

Prós: Nice, quiet spot on the edge of Salento, but only a 5 minute walk to the center, and very close to the busstation. Clean room, nicely decorated, with very clean shared bathroom. My room was in the apartments building, including a useful shared kitchen and living room. Staff was helpful and friendly, providing me with good information. Good restaurant, serving great curries is attached.

Prós: Comfortable beds, great location, clean facilities

Contras: It felt a bit small and lack of common space meant lack of a “vibe” plus it was a bit uncomfortable to have the restaurant so close to the dorms.

Prós: Very nice owner, he speaks English Central location Large rooms, large balcony, pretty view

Contras: We wanted to have breakfast in the hostel, but no one was at the reception or in the restaurant

Prós: One of the best hostels we have ever stayed in. The owner was great, he gave us all the information we needed and was extremly welcoming. The staff was also incredibly nice and they made our stay really comfortable. We liked that the hostel had it's own restaurant and the food was great! We also loved the garden where one could just chill out the whole day. Our plan was to stay for two nights, but in the end it was really difficult to leave after four nights. Thanks for everything!

Prós: Ambiance, location, reception & restaurant

Contras: Would appreciate some hooks in bath and bedroom to hang wet towels & clothes.

Prós: The staff is so helpful and friendly, felt so comfortable with them and also the rooms are lovely and have enough space, they have a restaurant and you can enjoy delicious curry and sandwiches. The location is near the terminal so it was perfect for us but it’s also just minutes away from the park. I’ll totally stay with them again!

Contras: Everything was amazing, just like a suggestion I’ll add a mirror to the rooms

Prós: Very nice Hotel with friendly staff and an amazing view. Close to the town center. Would stay again

Prós: The view is amazing. The staff is very nice. Lots of choices at breakfast and the rooms were quite big (we had two single beds and a queen size bed). If I come back I will definitely stay here again.

Contras: The bathroom was very small so only one person could be in it at a time. There wasn't a lot of hot water so we had to shower very quickly! We unfortunately didn't get a room with a view of cocora valley or a hammock.

Prós: This location is incredible! A view with a view is a must! Nothing like waking up to the view of the green mountains.

Prós: Everything about our stay was pretty wonderful but the absolute standout is the extraordinary view from the terrace. Staff were really helpful and friendly, breakfast was generous, beds were comfy and once we'd cracked adjusting the shower taps - showers also good. The hotel is tucked away so quiet - but only a few minutes walk from the centre. We hiked the Valle de Cocora then hung out in hammocks admiring the view. Highly recommended.

Contras: Really nothing - we did hit a few misty rainy days - but that is the deal with this town - and the hotel was a great place to relax while the rain came down.

Prós: What an amazing location. More than fine breakfast with a spectaculair view. Absolutely worth it! Also very friendly personel.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: A vista é incrível e a hidromassagem funciona bem. O quarto é bem confortável. Funcionários muito educados e prestativos. Café da manhã gostoso.

Contras: Chuveiro difícil de acertar a temperatura.

Prós: The Hotel was really great. We booked a room with a jacuzzi on the terrace. The bed was really big and comfortable and the view from the room was stunning. There was also a breakfast buffet included. The location of the hotel is near the Mirador so its a bit uphill but in a 5 minutes walk you reach the center of Salento and all the restaurants etc.

Contras: In the middle of the night there was loud music from a nearby bar or hotel. Thats not the hotels fault but it was really annoying in all that beautiful silence.

Prós: Hotel com ótimo atendimento, café da manhã bem saboroso e o pessoal muito atencioso e deram as dicas necessárias para comer e fazer as trilhas. Pegamos o quarto com jacuzzi e foi maravilhoso. Muito recomendado.

Prós: Lugar super aconchegante, com uma vista maravilhosa e equipe muito educada, gentil e profissional.Nenhuma queixa a fazer, só elogios e agradecimento.

Prós: Ótima vista, excelente café da manhã, staff super agradável.

Contras: Banheiro limpo, mas podia ser mais moderno.

Prós: Fantastic views from the breakfast terrace and a good spread in the buffet.

Contras: Would have been 5 stars if there had been hot water in the wash hand basin.

Prós: Acomodação para 3 pessoas é grande com 3 camas de viúvo

Contras: Limpeza pode melhorar, banheiro pequeno, toalha velha e cortina do banheiro

Prós: The lady in charge of the restaurant was great! Breakfast was very good, too, but make sure to plan enough time for it. Room was clean and the location perfect!

Contras: We stayed in a „Deluxe Double Room“ but nothing was deluxe about it. It was very basic and super noisy. Luckily there’s no need to spend a lot of time at the hotel while in Salento. Im my opinion it was overpriced, probably because town was packed and fully booked during our stay, though. I’m surprised about all the good reviews regarding the staff and owners. Perhaps we didn’t get to meet them? Maybe the lovely lady at the restaurant is the owner? Aside from Carolina, the ladies at the reception didn’t show any willingness to help, actually wouldn’t even bother to look up or greet when passing by

Prós: Beta hotel was celanf, comfortable and great value for money. It was really few guests when we were there and i dont know why. It is great value for money. They clean the rooms daily. Great breakfast. Good restaurant. Even our lacking abaility to speak spanish wasnt a problem. The staff went over and beyond to help us and guide us for our stay in Salento.

Contras: The common areas could be nicer. Would be nice to have a place to hang out outside the room

Prós: Friendly people

Contras: Very friendly family run business. They booked a incredible horse back ride for me. Breakfast was very good

Prós: All the extra services the hotel offers, like a good restaurant, breakfast,laundry, sport facilities, excursion options. Although you have to pay extra for anything.

Contras: No closet space, or hooks to hang a towel. Most of the staff didn't speak English.

Prós: Good location and value for money.

Contras: More spacious room.

Prós: Staff at the associated tour office (across the road) happily and efficiently organised amazing activities for me. Rooms are comfortable and the whole hotel exceptionally clean. The BEST showers in all of Colombia. Restaurant serves delicious, reasonably priced food too.

Prós: The location is right in town and it was great! It is directly across the road from the number one restaurant on tripadvisor. The room is clean and service is friendly.

Contras: Nothing much really.

Prós: Staff was nice. Location pretty good.

Contras: No A/C. Room was too hot, although it cooled off a bit at night.

Prós: A localização é ótima, o lugar é limpo e agradável.

Contras: Faltam coisas minímos, tipo, uma geladeira. Tive um pequeno acidente e precisava de gelo, simplismente, após as 21h, quando fecha o restaurante (que aliás fica do outro lado da rua) o hotel não tinha gelo!!

Prós: The shower area and the bedrooms/ whole facility is very clean. The property is a little walk from the town centre which is perfect and also quiet. The beds have a blanket and a sheet and are comfortable.

Contras: The included breakfast is Basic but you can get 50% off your bill if you book breakfast and go for the full menu - which is excellent! Pancakes are delicious!

Prós: Ótima hospedagem, funcionários solícitos, quarto confortável.

Contras: É um pouco distante do centro mas nada que comprometa. Até pq tem um restaurante maravilhoso do lado!

Prós: Very nice place, new equipment. Nice breakfast. Calm.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations, and the hostel's laid back vibe made it a great stay for exploring Salento.

Contras: A ceiling fan would have made hot nights more comfortable, but opening the windows sufficed.

Prós: The hostel is big, bright and in a very quite location at the edge of the village. The guys working there are very nice, the breakfast was good and the bed comfy

Contras: The cleaning could be improved (like trash bins in toilets and rooms not empty even after cleaning service)

Prós: Secure parking, fast wifi, kind and helpful eglish speaking personnel. Two choices of breakfast. Cereal or eggs. Nice view from the breakfast room. A bit out of the centre of the village but 6-7 mins walk. Very quiet during the night.

Contras: The room was a bit small but adequate. The window in the bathroom could not close so bugs and dust was coming in. The shower was missing the shower head so it was like like having shower with a hose. There were no glass panels at the windows, only shutters, so either they were closed (dark room) or open and noise and cold coming in, not to mention the lack of privacy. I didn't like that they charged me 5% more for paying by credit card despite my objections. I know that cc have a fee but this is for the cardholders too who have to pay a subscription. So each one (hotel & cardholder) should take their share of fees.

Prós: Os funcionários são muito amáveis, muito limpo , ótima cozinha e uma vista linda da cidade

Prós: Staff is incredible here. Breakfast was made to order and delicious. Quietly down the street from the main action which was perfect for us. Special shoutout to Robin, who returned to the airport after being 20 minutes away to return my moms phone that she had accidentally left in the car! Your helpfulness throughout our stay was appreciated!

Prós: Great breakfast & wonderful breakfast room and view of the town and mountains.

Contras: The boys from reception where very halpful, i went to horse ride in just few minutes after ariving. All clean, nice staf. Very good location. All good.

Prós: The location is perfect, it is just one street from the main square. It is very convenient for people that go to Salento to do different activities such as "Cocora Valley", Coffee farms, etc. The location is suitable because the main square is where the tourists take the transportation to different places around the coffee area. The staff is really friendly, always willing to help you, additionally, the included breaksfast was delicious. The breakfast is fixed, so do not expect a buffet, nevertheless, it is delicious. The check in and check out were done at the reception, and they were straightforward.

Contras: I could not stay more days in Salento :(

Prós: Felipe was an excellent host for us and made sure to quickly address any concerns we had. The room was comfortable and the breakfast each morning was a nice touch!

Prós: One of the best places where we've stayed! Martha is adorable and really helpful. We just had really good time at her Posada.

Prós: The man in the reception was friendly and the breakfast was good!

Contras: The way we were received was completely unacceptable. It clearly said on booking that the reception would be open 24/7. We arrived in the morning before check-in, but made it clear that we were happy to wait for our room to be finished. The lady was very angry about this, did not say welcome or give us any info at all. She clearly showed her frustration and shouted at us that we were bringing chaos to her. She alternated her behavior between completely ignoring us and shouting at us for being so disrespectful to arrive early. We did not feel welcome at all and considered to change accommodation. The guy who worked there was really nice and friendly like a normal person, but because of the lady's behavior, it is still the worst customer service we have experienced in any accomodation.

Prós: We like everything. Highly recommended. Very clean hotel, great location and beautiful staff.

Prós: Great location - 5 minutes on foot from the main square, where all the Willys depart! Unfortunately, this road is to the steep hill, so it takes time until you reach top of the hill and you are able finally to enter to the the main square. Also we liked the parrot, but she was talking only when there were no people. When you came to a parrot, she was sitting silently :) Hotel organized the transportation from Pereira airport to the pousada, but price 120.000 COP (about 34 EUR) for the transfer was very expensive (comparing with other prices in Colombia). And there were no chances for negotiations.

Contras: I don't understand comments of the people, who wrotes, that breakfast in this pousada was awesome. How 2 small toasted sandwiches with ham and cheese with half cup of tea is awesome breakfast? :/ I would rate it as no breakfast at all, because after this breakfast you must go to your room to eat something more. It's very hot inside the room and there are no A/C! In Salento days are hot and absence of A/C is a huge disadvantage for the property. There are no refrigerator inside the room and you can't cool down your drinks. Bathroom is super tiny, you don't have place there to turn around. Staff in the hotel doesn't speak english at all. If you are not speaking spanish, you can't ask them for any advices or where to go. Of course, they have (at least) a big book in English with all the advices where to go and what to do, but it's not the same as conversation with english speaking man.

Prós: The breakfast was very good. It was central but quiet.

Contras: It was what we expected realistically. We were allocated a room in the quieter area which was great as in the other area it would have been exposed to noise.

Prós: Really colourful, comfortable place both bedroom and lounge and dining areas. Near enough to centre but far enough away to be quiet. Martha and her staff were really friendly and helpful.

Contras: Garden and outside furniture were in fact part of the inside of the house. An inside patio area with dining tables. And. Parrot!

Prós: The breakfast was great and big, the personnel were very nice and friendly. The room was big and clean. Totally loved it.

Prós: The stuff is amazing! Very nice and humble people, hot water, close to the Plaza, comfort beds, nice price. The hostel is also a cool retro museum

Prós: The room is very clean.The location is excellent

Contras: 1.On our second night,around 21:00 we returned to the hotel to use the toilet with a friend of ours too. We totally stayed in the room 5 minutes.Yet the owner came knocking to tell us very rudely that a third person is not allowed-not even for 5'(she said its hotel's policy). On our way out she told us off (again), athough I told her in Spanish I didn't know aout it, that this mustn't happen and our friend isnt allowed to return(!)in a very offensive manner as if we had committed the worst crime. There is no announcement anywhere of any of the hotel's policies within the hotel.As long as is not written anywhere I cannot know about the hotels rules and regulations and even if so, the rude behavior of the owner is totally disrespectful and unacceptable and not excused for such a ridiculous reason. 2. The room was above the street and during the day is quite noisy. 3. Not enough light at night in the room from the available one lamp. 4.The shower door doesnt open properly. 5.The room has neither A/C nor ventilator.

Prós: Nice room and bathroom. Good hot shower! Located conveniently next to the bus terminal.

Contras: Overall we did not feel very welcomed in this hotel. Owners were interested in getting there money and making sure we leave the room in time for check out other than that there was no communican or Information etc. shared with us. Our room was right next to the street and you could hear every car, motobike, people on the street - very noisy overall. The pillows where extremely high and therefore pretty uncomfortable so I slept without it.

Prós: Everything was great. The staff was really friendly and kind. The hotel is very beautiful and clean. The view was excellent from our balcony to carrera 6. The location was perfect.

Contras: Only the noise from the street

Prós: Everything

Contras: Nada

Prós: The hotel exceeded my expectations. Location, rooms and staff - there is nothing to complaint about.

Contras: Nothing to mention. Everything was excellent.

Prós: Very nice location, cosy hotel, nice host.

Contras: Bit noisy but worth it for the nice location.

Prós: We were in love with our room with balcony and view for a street - so cosy and with local atmosphere. The owner is really nice and stylish.

Contras: We don’t recommend our room with balcony for people who can not sleep next to noisy street.

Prós: Everything else was great. The stuff was very friendly and the breakfast around the corner was incredible.

Contras: A little bit more noisy

Prós: Communication before arrival and the welcome was great. The hotel is easy to find, only a block from the square. The rooms are sparkling clean. There is staff 24 hours a day. Outlets are well placed, pillows and mattresses are very comfy and there are plenty of pillows! Great shower with nice hot water and plenty of towels. Nice size closet.

Contras: The photos need to represent the rooms better and the listing you mention there is a lot of street noise if you have a room with a window / balcony. Photos show nice comforters, which are removed when you check in, leaving you with 2 synthetic blankets on the sheets. I thought being a block from the square noise levels would be OK, but there is a karaoke bar across the street and it produces a lot of noise. The desk even called the police, but they never showed up. The room I was in smelled like food the entire time. There is one restaurant below the rooms and one across the street. The hotel hallways lights are very bright: when someone comes up to their room, the light shines through the window above the hallway door and wakes you up.

Prós: The location. It is right in the main street of Salento! And the staff where always very kind. Edgar, the owner was super helpfull!

Contras: The fact that the doors of the balcony don’t like close properly and for so the noise was a little bit too much.

Prós: O hotel é muito bonito e organizado.

Contras: O quarto em que nós estávamos era barulhento.

Prós: Boa localização, mesmo na rua principal

Contras: Muito barulho a partir das 5:30 da manhã, ouve-se TUDO, não dá para descansar. E toda a luz entra através das portas que não fecham bem. Não funciona a água quente.

Prós: Loved this beautiful hotel. Great vibes and service. Very clean and comfortable and perfect location. Must stay

Prós: Totally worth it for a couple of days. A supermarket is downstairs and the main square with the jeeps going to cocora are in front of the door. The room was very quiet.

Contras: Liked everything about that place! Very kind stuff and exceptionally clean rooms.

Prós: Localização super-central, condições do quarto muito boas (qualidade da cama e chuveiro) e espaço para preparar refeições ligeiras e o café da manhã. Com supermercado e lugares para tomar o café da manhã muito próximos. Funcionários muito atenciosos, esqueci um carregador de celular e se prontificaram de imediato a encaminhá-lo para o endereço solicitado. Recomendo bastante.

Prós: Right on the main square in Salento opposite jeep pickups tour departures and cafes bars restaurants; super nice clean rooms; so convenient - and a great balcony at quiet back of hotel too

Contras: Nothing

Prós: We had a room towards the side of the hotel. Room is small but adequate. Noise from plaza not an issue. Ample hot water in shower. Staff were helpful. Lots to do in Salento. Jeeps to Cocora Valley leave 50 meters from front of the hotel.

Prós: excellent welcome and help

Contras: first room was noisy (overlooking the plaza so of course it was) moved to the rear which was excellent.

Prós: Location is great. Has a kitchen so you can prepare your own breakfast. Staff were friendly but only spoke spanish

Contras: No breakfast so had to go looking for cafes early in the morning before the tours began.

Prós: The location

Contras: No breakfast,the windows do not have net for flies.You either sit in the dark or sleep with flies

Contras: A bit loud since the hotel is located in the town's center. Convenient location and excellent accommodations with magnificent staff for the right price, but the noise is at times intense. Late at night, around 11pm it becomes quiet.

Prós: Very good value for this price. Excellent location, staff very friendly and allowed us to do late check out by juggling around the calendar. Very helpful and sweet staff members!

Contras: Breakfast is not included, but there is coffee, a shop literally downstairs and a kitchen available.

Prós: Location was great. Staff super friendly. Beds comfortable. Rooms clean and not too small.

Prós: The breakfast was great, staff friendly, yoga was a good added bonus! Luis was really hospitable

Contras: Nothing, had a great stay!

Prós: View, hot showers, vegetation, good WiFi, 24h desk, long check in

Contras: Shared rooms small, not great breakfast, annoying pay breakfast separate for some. Staff didn’t look that happy, staff at the Plantation House were more helpful

Prós: Adorei minha estadia no El Viajero Hostel! As dependências são ótimas e o chuveiro é maravilhoso. A equipe é muito gentil e prestativa. O café da manhã é um dos melhores que já experimentei em hostels. Além disso o ambiente estimula a convivência entre os hospedes, o que me oportunizou conhecer pessoas de diversos países e trocar dicas de viagem.

Prós: The staff. They treated me very well, compared to El viajero cali, there they treated my friends and me very badly, it seems that because it is a popular hostel they no longer care to treat clients very well.

Contras: The hostel in the photos seems to be bigger. The beds are very small, so at the top you don't feel like sleeping, more because there is nothing to protect you from falling.

Prós: Social activities, the scenery, the information available in the reception and the courtyard is lovely.

Contras: The place didn't meet our expectations, after having read brilliant stuff ratings we expected a lovely stay. The beds were very soft, and sixnr our room was next to the street you could hear everything, including the horses walking down it.. Additionally, the showers have OK pressure but don't get very hot. Finally, maybe a small detail but big for coffee fans, the breakfast coffee probably can't be considered coffee... If you decide to visit, prepare your own..

Prós: The garden and view is amazing. The bar and the salsa class. All so peaceful and green. Loved it.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: A equipe é maravilhosa, sem exceçao, fomos bem atendidas por todos, em especial pelo Carlos, pessoa extremamente atenciosa e querida... café da manhã maravilhoso, o melhor de todos....vista espetacular, paz e plenitude... chuveiro maravilhoso, com agua bem quente... sao disponibilzadas cobertas nas partes em comum do hostel...acomodação ja tem todos os passeios e dicas... o melhor hostel que ficamos de toda colombia, com certeza voltaremos

Prós: Area externa linda, café da manhã delicioso, aula de salsa. Recepcionistas super gentis e queridos. Me senti super a vontade, como em casa. Já estive em outros El Viajero e este é o melhor!!

Prós: Nada demais... só a vista salva!!!

Contras: Me sentí extorquido! Reservei um quarto privado e fui obrigado a pagar mais 19% de IVA pq minha namorada era colombiana!!!! Um roubo federal!

Prós: I loved Viajero. I met a few really cool guests here and everything was clean and well put together. Their prices for stuff (water, snacks, drinks etc) are very reasonable. The views, wow. The views are something else. I didn't realise how breathtaking they were because I got in at midnight but woke up to the most spectacular views. The breakfast is very basic though. That's the one thing I would do differently. It's pretty cheap against the dollar ($7 or so) but given that you can get an amazing meal for that at the centre I would personally skip it next time. Viajero Salento was a great hostel and definitely where I'll stay if I ever find myself in Salento again.

Prós: Funcionários muito receptivos e o hostel é bem localizado. Organizam passeios e dão boas dicas e informações.

Contras: O café da manhã poderia ser melhor.

Prós: Amazing 100yo colonial house, owned by an architect that restored it. Quit, Central, safe, amazing local breakfast, super friendly staff, strong internet everywhere.

Prós: All it’s really fine, but the WiFi is terrible. We are digital nomad and we can’t do anything for that. The staff is really kind

Prós: Good breakfast and quirky room. Good place to see many birds in the morning. Slightly out of town so quieter than other places.

Contras: Really difficult to find!

Prós: Very nice old building, friendly owner, great breakfast, ample parking, great balcony.

Prós: I really enjoy this kind of places, very old traditional colombian house full of antiques. The rooms are very clean and the place is very quiet.

Contras: bed could be more confortable :)

Prós: Everything!

Contras: Nothing!

Prós: Very friendly and welcoming! Nice breakfast and comfortable rooms as well as a welcoming area to sit down outside. We would highly recommend this lovely place.

Prós: Especially the amazing location. Sitting on the terrance and just enjoying the view on the breathtaking surrounding landscape and the garden. Apart from that, Oscar and his wife are very friendly hosts.

Contras: there wasn't anything to mention here. It was just great!

Prós: Less than a ten minute walk to the main square, very clean and nice wooden furniture, own fridge and stove, very kind staff, phantastic breakfast (eggs as you like, fresh fruit and juice etc.) which is served on your own porch overlooking the town and the mountains, warm shower and comfortable bed.

Contras: Weak wifi so that planning our onward journey was difficult, fridge noisy at night (but you can turn it off), no reading lights near the bed, a lot of barking dogs at night (not the hotel‘s fault, but still keeping us awake)

Prós: View from the balcony is excellent. In the quiet part of Salento with sprawling garden. Exceptional staff.

Contras: Locker did not work. WC seat was broken.

Prós: Great location. Awesome breakfast. Very nice staff.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Nice quiet surroundings, very friendly staff, great breakfast.

Contras: No A/C but the room gets cooler in the night time

Prós: The staff was very nice. We got perfect recommendations, what you can do in Salento. The breakfast was great and could be taken on your own terrace.

Contras: The wooden floor was a bit noisy on the way to the toilet.

Prós: There was nothing not to like about this accommodation from the staff to the quality and cleanliness of our room. I highly recommend.

Prós: The property was super clean, a 5-7 min walk in to the main streets of town and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Salento is a great place to stay for 1-2 nights. A coffee tour, visiting the Cocora Valley and eating trout are a must.

Prós: Fantastic breakfast; good location a bit apart center.

Prós: The location at the edge of the village is an advantage if you want to get away from the noise in the centre of the village. The rooms are also surrounded by trees and flowers. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good . It’s a basic hostal and offers good value for money.

Contras: It’s was probably too basic for me compared to the other hostels I stayed in Colombia but it was also the cheapest I stayed in. So it does have a good value for money.

Prós: Really nice quiet place close to the main street (5 min walking) and close to the bus station (3 min walking). The visit of the owner's finca is just 10 min walking far and he transmits his passion in the perfect way.

Contras: A little lack of consideration from the staff. I had no towel given the first day, no informations received about the common areas and had to wait 4 hours to receive toilet paper.

Prós: The location and views from the yard are great. It's close to the center but the surroundings make you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. It's also very close to the bus station, which was convenient.

Contras: The first night and morning there was no hot water and also no one at the reception / property who was able to fix this problem. There was a not with a phone number, but it's expensive to call with a European phone number. Also there was dog poop around the property in which my boyfriend stepped at night when it was dark. Furthermore the room was quite dark, with only one very bright light and the window was facing the common patio which other travelers used to smoke.

Prós: Owners were extremely helpful and we done a brilliant coffee roasting tour!

Prós: Staff spoke English and were very helpful

Contras: Entrance to the hostal and the room were not paved. So you have to walk on muddy ground as it rains a lot there. If you have roller luggages, you have to either carry them or roll them in mud. Room was very basic, did not have hangers for clothes, very small and rustic, showerhead did not function well.

Prós: The owner (tim) and his wife are awesome, they are always willing to help you with any question you might have and they provide really good advice. The dogs are really friendly.

Contras: Everything was fine

Prós: I was given a room in the Plantation Too (house 2) that was not the same as the one I booked. It was damp and mildewy and very far from main area, the kitchen etc. I asked and received a better one. Some of the staff were friendly while others had an attitude as if they were jaded with travelers. Overall experience: 7. I was glad to stay for one night but would not return.

Contras: Some staff was unfriendly. Underutilized kitchen. It’s not a place for solo travelers to meet and socialize with each other. Don’t stay in the Plantation Too unless a kitchen has been installed. Don’t come during the rainy season.

Prós: I liked the sheets. They were big and warm.

Contras: The host wasnt that nice. Also, the bathrooms were hardly ever clean, and the women’s shower didnt work.

Prós: Good location and cheaper than other places but therefore very very basic, could do with a refresh

Prós: The location was perfect. We stayed in the center and it was impossible to sleep. The plantation house was just far enough to escape the noise, but still be within walking distance of all the restaurants. The staff were really nice a d helpful. The coffee tour was awesome!

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Lovely people, great location, hot water, parking space for a large vehicle.

Contras: Hard beds

Prós: Really lovely place, with a team. Jason is incredibly helpful and serves a wonderful breakfast. Good shower. Easily located for everything in Salento.

Contras: The walls are quite thin, so it is possible to hear other guests. Can get a bit chilly at night.

Prós: Clean, good location, front desk staff is nice. Mattress is okay, but nothing special (it is quite short, maybe 180-190 cm). Shower with warm water is nice, but the showerhead needs replacing.

Contras: The noise on the first floor is bad. Guests are entering every 20 minutes and you can hear everything. Outside noise is also quite audible. The pillows were hard and too high, we had to change them, because we were unable to sleep on them.

Prós: Location and staff

Contras: Needs better toiletries soap is too small no shampoo etc

Prós: The staff was great! They were really helpful and kind. Hotel was near everything; restaurants, the main street and tejo.

Contras: The first day we got only cold water from the shower (but we managed with it and didn't complain to the staff so it was our own fault).

Prós: Rooftop lounge

Contras: A bit dingy

Prós: Tudo aqui foi perfeito. Sou viajante frequente, conheço mais de 25 países, e posso com certeza afirmar que este foi sem dúvida o melhor lugar onde já fiquei, melhor que muitos hotéis de 4 ou 5 estrelas, porque as estrelas para mim não se contam só pelo luxo mas sim pela a atenção e pelo gosto que existe em servir os hóspedes. Há uma atenção de 1000%. Fomos muito bem recebidos, serviram-nos café à chegada e explicaram tudo sobre a cidade e melhor forma de explorar o vale Cocora e fincas de café, recomendaram comida local maravilhosa e como Salento é uma pequena cidade com muitos animais até ofereceram Tampões para dormirmos melhor. O quarto é restantes espaços estão impecavelmente limpos e cheirosos, a cama é confortável, com mantas quentes para as noites frias e temos frigorífico, cofre e máquina de água à disposição. Sempre que entravamos na posada vinham ao quarto oferecer sumo e ofereceram-se para levar a nossa roupa suja depois da visita ao vale Cocora à lavandaria e entregaram prontamente no dia seguinte tal como necessitavamos. Todas as pessoas da pousada são amorosas e muito humildades, ajudando de coração e sem intenção de vender ou impingir nada. O pequeno almoço é farto e maravilhoso, servido sempre com muito gosto. Adorei tudo aqui, obrigada por tornarem a nossa estadia em Salento uma experiência única ❤️

Contras: Absolutamente nada. Tudo é perfeito nesta posada

Prós: the breakfast was amazing and the staff was very friendly, helpful and polite giving good and valuable information about activities and facilities around.

Contras: The staff should do the check in first, let the guess install in the room and then give the explanation/information about the activities available after. My check in was the longest ever!

Prós: Very good location - close to the main square (Willy's), main street, good restaurants,... Staff is really helpful and they explain you everything what you need.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: A very nice place with friendly people ! It's quiet and close to the main place, perfect ! I definitely recommend it !

Contras: Everything was good !

Prós: The staff was excellent. They were so nice and helpful. I love them! Also the rooms were beautiful.

Prós: Sim.tudo muito bom.nada de negativo a apontar.

Prós: The staff!!! So incredibly friendly, helpful and always smiling - they couldn’t do enough to help you. Breakfast was delicious with fruit and a choice of eggs or cereal. The room was great, a comfy bed and perfect little balcony. The location is a short walk from the main square, so it’s far enough away to be quiet but close enough to be in the main square in minutes. A wonderful start to our Colombian holiday!!

Contras: Nothing!!

Prós: Breakfast was really good. The staff was friendly. The hotel was clean.

Contras: Too much noise The door was really hard to open They gave us a smaller room because they overbooked

Prós: Bom custo beneficio

Contras: Nada em especial

Prós: Breakfast is serving to the room! Super friendly and helpful stuff! Also we had to leave one day earlier so they decided that we also pay one night less!

Prós: The staff was so helpful and friendly. Loved Salento and loved Posada Casa Salento.

Prós: We can't say enough good things about this place! Everything was perfect! The service we received was that of a 5 star hotel. Santiego and Diego were so kind and pleasant and John gave us a lot of very useful information about what to do around Salento and how to do it. It was really home away from home. We would stay there again without any hesitation!! Tip: if you're a light sleeper, you might want to ask for a room at the back on the hotel. You can also bring ear plugs.

Contras: Nothing at all!

Prós: Good location, you are in the middle of the little town of salento near the bars/restaurants and everything. The staff is super friendly, when you arrive they really make an effort to inform you about the city and its activities. The bed was also very comfortable. We ended up adding the breakfast to our staying too, which was also nice.

Contras: If your room is facing the street, it might be a little noisy in the morning.

Prós: Localização excelente.

Prós: The location is perfect

Contras: The bathrooms are nothing like the pictures! The rooms are ok, but no place to hang anything. A bit of a disappointment

Prós: The staff was very nice and helpful! We had an excellent stay.

Prós: The bed was probably the most comfortable we’ve stayed in during our trip to Colombia. Staff had great English and lots of information during checkin.

Contras: It was noisy during the busy parts of the day but was quieter from 12am to 6am and didn’t effect our sleep too much. Only noisy as it’s along one of the main roads so all the traffic passes by. There are also a lot of street dogs barking at times.

Prós: It was a typical large building, the receptionist was very correct. I really enjoy the information they have ready to give at the reception to organize your days. Spacious and clean bathroom. Very good shower with adequate pressure of water and hot. Correct size of the room Breakfast was also very good, served in a nice patio.

Contras: If I need to say something, just it was a bit cold. And it could be nice to have windows in the room, but I think is the architecture style.

Prós: Spacious room and the beds were comfortable. The location was good (beside the noise). Staff very friendly. Hostel is highly recommendable.

Contras: At night some noise in the street and we had to sleep with the windows open because it was top warm. No airco or fan available. Bring earplugs.

Prós: The rooms were beautiful. And exceptionally clean. Staff fabulous and spoke English very well. They explained all trips and could organise for you. Breakfast basic but nice. I absolutely loved this gem of a place after a horrible hostel in Bogotá. Salento is chilled with some lovely restaurants.

Contras: It would’ve been nice to meet others as I was travelling alone and they have a nice chill out area. If they offered a bar and some activities for guests in the evening that would’ve been perfect. So not the best for solo travellers
