Featuring a garden, Casa Salento is located in Salento in the Quindio region, 29 miles from Ukumari Zoo and 22 miles from Pereira's Botanical Garden.

The staff was very helpful, allowing us to store bags before and after we checked in, and calling a driver for us when it started pouring and we needed to get to the station. Breakfast had terrific options.

Located in Salento, Hostal Tralala Salento has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property.

Received a cheat sheet of all the activity recommendations, tips, map, advice, and general info upon checkin. Room was advertised as no window, but had vented bathroom and a coverable vent on the upper door, so it was totally fine. Water available for bottle refills. Kitchen had coffee that you could make yourself with the coffee maker.

    The best hostel of my entire trip in Colombia. Great and helpful staff, great breakfast, very nice private room and most importantly the possibility to book trips and adventures in the area, but also the free activities such as food tours and pub crawls organised by the hotel itself, which are a great occasion to meet people. You can also join a whatsapp group to get all the practicals on these activities in real time, even if you spend the day on adventures outside the hostel. The perfect hostel for solo travelers.

    Great location, very attentive hosts who helped with arranging trips, buses and recommendations for food. Loved the fact we were offered free coffee and even a beer! Felt like staying at a family home rather than a hostel.

    This hostel has everything needed for the best price, great location near bus terminal with amazing view in a quiet neighborhood. Great staff, clean dorm beds and delicious breakfast! What more do you need! Other hostel with foreign investment don't feel as authentic as this place but are rather meant for tourists looking to party, not this place!

    This is best hostel I’ve stayed in for the money so far. The hosts were exceptional. Answered any questions we had, gave us nice bracelets on arrival, and replaced my charging cable that I lost (which was my fault not there’s). The beds have nice curtains and are comfortable. The location is great, just off of the square. And everyone was super friendly. Great backpackers hostel.

    It'e been a good few years since I stayed in a hostel but I loved Viajero in Salento, I had one of the private views which had incredible views over the valley. I booked it mainly to meet new people and Dani Ella did an amazing job with different events in the hostel and the guest Whatsapp group. Overall a really well run hostel in a great location
