Access to the property from town is a pain in the ass

Cut off from the rest of town, brisk 15 minute hike with steep uphill, downhill walk. Gets messy during rain. If you have luggage and don't want to walk, do not book this hotel. Good basic breakfast. The room view is stunning. Lot of bird watching and very peaceful.

The road to the can be a little bit slippery when it rains. However, we did not have any issues

We had an excellent stay at this lovely place. The views from the compound are astounding, it feels like you are in the middle of the jungle despite being only 8 minutes away by foot from Salento. Highly recommend!

Great place

It was lovely as it was away from the town but a steep climb to get to town and no facilities. We had to go to town to buy water snacks drinks etc.

Fabulous location. Friendly and helpful owner. Clean and comfortable and spacious room.

Wasn’t aware we had to pay in cash and beds were a little hard for our liking too.

Beautifully quiet and peaceful location. Best shower! Breakfast of eggs and toast with fruit, hot drinks and juice was included in the price too. Our bags were dropped off in town to save us walking up with them.

It seems like an unfinished project. They could do so much more with the place!

It's a great place to relax outside of town. We saw many many beautiful birds on the property!

Beautiful surroundings - you can see a beautiful landscape and all kinds of colourful birds through the window or on the terrace.

Probably that you have to walk down to it via dark road (short walk though). You might encounter dogs along the way. Might feel uncomfortable.

Loved that it was like 10 minutes away from the town itself. So it was quiet and peaceful. The view was gorgeous too.

Everything was just great, with stunning views and very nice and welcoming staff :) Would definitely recommend this place for staying in Salento!

Great host, beautiful view and great hot shower! Prior reviews spoke about a bit of hike to get there, but we found it to be short and no issue

For me it was no issue, but you really have to be aware that the location is not only a 10-15 minute walk out of town but also quite streep downhill coming from and uphill going to town. If you have suitcases you need to check with the owner if the motorbike is available to bring it down and up again. Also if you travel alone and you do not like being alone in a remote location, this is not for you. Part of the road is also not lit at night, but very safe!

This is the most beautiful location I stayed so far in Colombia. Just outside of time right in the middle of nature. Absolutely gorgeous and incredibly quiet. Only the sounds of nature. The room I had was big with a huge balcony, good shower and the normal breakfast. All the people I met working there were super friendly!

The property is just insanely beautiful! The view and the sunset are breathtaking. The rooms are very spacious and have their own very large balcony with a wonderful view. We had the best shower in Colombia here. And there is also a super equipped kitchen. And last but not least the host José is super nice and helpful! We definitly recommend this place!

The hike to town. This was expected but got a little tiring after 3 days. Also the WIFI was a little temperamental

Friendly service, beautiful and quiet location

Nothing.

The breakfast was excellent, and the location was beautiful surrounded by hills and trees where the birds were singing in the morning. A good place to relax.

Very remote location, requires 15 minute walk to the main square and 10 minutes to the city. Hostal only recommended if looking for a remote location

Room got quit dusty, but this is due to the location.

Beautiful views and very friendly owner. Showed me where to walk around the property and kept my husband topped up with coffee when he had to work. Good breakfast.

The hotel is located on a protected dirt/rock walking path that cars are not allowed on. In distance, it is a short walk (maybe.25 miles?). However, the walk is very steep (downhill to the hotel and uphill into Salento). Without packs or suitcases it's about an 8 minute strenuous walk into town. With packs, it is a REALLY good workout! But it's doable. I wouldn't recommend doing this walk with suitcases. Jose is very good about communication about the path so you know where you are going. If you don't mind a good leg workout every time you want to go into town, then this place is worth it! Also, the path is very safe to walk at night if need be.

The location is absolutely beautiful. It is very quiet (except for the noises of nature) and peaceful. The place was clean, breakfast was simple but good (the coffee was fantastic) and the owner Jose is very kind and helpful. Salento isn't that big of a town but it is still busy, and staying a little further out of town was nice.

The hotel is accessed by a historical road that is closed to traffic. We enjoyed the short hike (5 mins, inclined) but is should be noted before booking.

This property was just outside of the city, with a gorgeous view of the surroundings. The apartment was clean and spacious, and our host was very kind and attentive. The breakfast was good too!

A place where to dry clothes during the rainy season would be great.

Friendly owner, quite place during the night, nature around

The distance from city centre on an unpaved road with no light (where cars can't go ) made me miss the evening vibe of town, but as i was there for a relaxing moment, it was exactly what i was looking for! Could use a softer light as well for reading... And signs on the way down to indicate that one is on the right track!

The place is located in a beautiful forest setting, ideal for a quiet stay, listening to birdsongs and spoting them too! 😀 the room was large, could use a closet to unpack a bit, but else very comfortable. Nice breakfast and good tips from the owner. Would recommend 👌 The property even has its own little camino through the native forest.

Bit of a slog to get there on a track and steep path. But super quiet as a consequence. The pillows are a bit big which gave my partner neck ache. Appreciate you cannot please everyone in this regard.

Very friendly people who ran the place, very attentive to our needs. Amazing location with lovely views and lots of birds literally outside our bedroom window. Delivered our bags back to the bus station.
