I thought it was overpriced, maybe because it was close to Easter week and Salento is popular, but I had seen much better prices at other places in town, but decided to go at the last minute and then the others were booked, so that's my fault. Unfortunately it rained a lot and the roof above my bed leaked right into my mattress, and I had two mostly sleepless nights, which of course colored my enjoyment of this lovely town. They wouldn't change me to a different bed even though when I asked there were other beds available, which eventually filled but still, I felt that was inappropriate. Though they were sympathetic but that didn't solve the problem. In general this place really needs a lot of work to improve the conditions, it could be a lot cleaner, though that was exacerbated by the continuous rain, it's true.

The staff is very nice, there are garden areas and hot water in the shower. Plenty of room and tables to hang out and meet others, good vibes in general.

Alllllll

It rained on my bed . Moved twice. Light near the bed didn't work. The shower in the room couldn't close the door. House owner tried to fix a few problems with the room

Common bathrooms could have been cleaner. It was quite noisy in the night, because of dogs and roosters in the neighbourhood.

Super friendly staff, some games to play, big common area, good location.

I thought the price was quite high for a very small room, and the bed was quite hard.

Staff are super friendly and welcoming. The hot showers were fantastic! And it's a short 3 minute walk to the centre of town!

It is a bit cold in the cabañas. You should arrange well and in advance for when you arrive in the hotel

Very nice garden. Nice location. Quiet if nobody parties in the garden

Wendy is very kind

The room was very dark and not super clean.

Wendy was a great host, making us feel home and always ready to help. The hostel is i the nature but very near the town square.

Hut was a bit cold at night but we were given an extra blanket when we asked. Breakfast although free was very poor

Stayed in a lovely little hut. The family running it were super nice and helpful. Hot showers which are a rarity! Lots of friendly dogs and perfect location

Stayed in January 2023

We loved the general atmosphere! Especially the feeling that you wake up in the middle of nature, you hear a lot of birds and animals while you’re waking up. And it’s only one block away from ‘Plaza de Bolívar’. Thanks for your hospitality & Daniel step up your game with Tejo :p. You have to practice before we come back.

Lovely family who run the hostel, very accomodating and just really nice. Plenty of social areas to relax in and just a few minute walk to the town centre

it was just a bit cold in our room

Stayed in December 2022

The rooms were a bit smelly and few more hangers etc. would have helped to organise.

The host Claudia was exceptionally friendly and very supportive in helping us with our planning. There was plenty of warm water and it was quite close to the main square.

It was a good location close to town, but honestly that was the only good thing about it. The dorm room had just a breezy tin roof and the bathroom area had a massive gap in the door so everyone could see you. It was absolutely freezing at night because the room was very open, as the door was held shut with a string and didn’t even have a latch. It was also strange as the floor was painted and if you stepped on it with damp feet you would get bright orange/red paint flaking off all over your feet. But the worst thing was there was no ladder for my friend to get up to her bunkbed. When I asked the girl at reception she came in and took a ladder from another part of the room and gave it to us. It was only once she'd gone we realised she'd taken it off someone else’s bed! I went back and asked her for another ladder as now the guy didn't have one, to which she responded that there wasn't one and suggested I ferry the ladder between the two beds, and I obviously said this would not work as I couldn’t be there the whole time if either of them wanted to get down, especially if it was the middle of the night, it was ridiculous. Her solution was a wobbly bar stool. Unfortunately I found the staff very dismissive and they didn’t really seem to care.

The location of the Hostel. It is down a hill, which feels a little uncomfortable. The room was small, and the floor as well as the surrounding is made out of wood. Salento is very touristy, which means it is quiet loud. The thin Walls of the room did not block out the noise at all

WLAN was very good!

Stayed in January 2025

Unfortunately, the accommodation did not look like the photos, like cozy huts, but more like a Favela. The floor was very dirty, as was the bathroom. The shower only had very hot or very cold water, which came out of a strange water jet, washing hair was impossible. In the three nights we were there, the trash in the bathroom was not even disposed of, which stank accordingly. Very disgusting and unhygienic. Spiders, cobwebs and other insects were also in the hut as there are cracks in the hut. At night you could hear a whole zoo (dogs, chickens and roosters, as well as people) as if they were standing in the room. It was very cold at night and there was only a thin blanket, which was not enough. Everything looks deserted, unfortunately not like in the pictures, would not recommend a stay.

The staff was nice. However, the owner slept right at the reception with her dog, a bull terrier.

The room was very disappointing especially for the price - it was large but basically empty. The door didn’t even latch closed so we had to use a rock to keep the door shut when sleeping. The beds didn’t have proper sized frames. The sheets had red stains that looked like blood. The bathroom was dirty and hot water doesn’t work well. There’s also only one plug in the room.

The staff are all excellent!! Location is walkable to the center. The common spaces are great - clean, ample, board games, kitchen well equipped. They provide towels and extra blankets if requested.

The room wasn't really clean

Good location, close to the center. They got a nice chilling area outside surrounded by nature

Stayed in March 2024

Reviews and rating were very misleading. This property is completely overpriced. We think it was a badly converted stables. Our room literally had a plastic sheet and duck tape for the ceiling to avoid rain coming through.

The girl working there was nice.

Stayed in March 2024

Very poor facilities. Toilet door didn’t close. No mirror to shave in in bathroom. Only mirror to shave in had no light, so impossible to shave in the dark. Bathroom tap insecure. No rose in shower. Bedroom tiny. Impossible to walk around it. Nylon sheets. Bedroom door locked with padlock and the hooks to which the padlock were attached were insecure, so no serious security. If the price were low, then this would have all been acceptable. It wasn’t. Steps down to the hostal were steep and uncared for and so approach not welcoming. Loud doorbell to hostel wakes everyone before and after hours …

Rustic … staff friendly … kitchen facilities ok … free coffee … hot water in shower … open natural surroundings …

The Hostal cannot be reached by vehicle, which was fine for us with limited luggage, but some of my family members struggled a bit with the up and down on the hill. There also seemed to be an issue at Booking.com, indicating the rooms had a private bathroom, which wasn't the case. The information on the property after payment was correct and indicated a shared bathroom. For us this was fine, and the shower even had hot water! My family was less pleased with there not being a private bathroom.

Staff was super friendly and helped us choose a coffee tour. We ordered breakfast for the first morning and asked for it to be ready at a certain time so we could leave early for sightseeing and it was perfectly on time. The site has a 'home feeling' with a lovely seating area with sofas and a tv, hammocks in the back and a nice garden. The area was very quiet even though the Hostal was only 2 blocks from the main plaza. We traveled with our dog and the staff was super friendly towards my pup who was nervous with the afternoon storm and who wasn't too fond of the cat that lives on the property. Overall, it's a very relaxing site right near the heart of Salento.

terrible experience. The ‘chalet’ for the dorm was more of a shed, very poorly constructed. The en suite didn’t have a door - only a shower curtain - so you have to listen to strangers use the toilet… It was also cold, not enough blankets provided, no charging sockets and wi-fi didn’t work in the dorm. I was informed on checkout that my card hadn’t been pre-authorized as advertised, and then got charged an additional 4% for using card. it was also incredibly overpriced.

decent location, although the access is via a steep path. It was clean.

Stayed in April 2023

The bathroom could use a little more cleaning. Perhaps some coat hooks and decorative elements inside each room.

The location is a bit hard to find as it is down a path, but is so close to the plaza and close to lots of restaurants and cafes! the staff is very friendly and helpful and some speak English. They provide a very inexpensive in-house laundry service, which came in very handy after mountain biking! Wonderful family-run business! Thanks!!!

The rooms were not what we initially expected from the pictures They are small huts with tin roofs and unfinished drywall. There was no nets of glass on the windows, just wooden shutters so it got cold in the evenings and bugs did find their way into your room. All this being said it was clean, and even in torrential rains everything stayed dry. While were were discouraged by the room when we first arrived, we were comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The people running this place are delightful! They will treat you like family, ask about your day, give you recommendations, arrange transport/tours and hug you goodbye. They always seem interested in you and happy to see you. Breakfast is typical but nice and you can eat outside and enjoy the birds coming to the feeders on site. This hostel (though tricky to find the first time is located just 1 block from the main square so everything you need is steps away. It is safe and welcoming. We arrived a day early (right before new years eve) and they found us space immediately! SO helpful.

very uncomfortable room, strange atmosphere, as I was walking down to the hostel, there was this strange guy (who lives next to the hostel) making inappropriate comments (I don’t know how he is associated to the hostel, but clearly not a place you want to be). communication issues - when I arrived they gave me a room and told me I would need to change the next day, then about an hour later they told me I would need to change now (immediately). The same night one of the employees knocked on my door and asked me whether I would smell smoke. His uncle would have called he would smell smoke. There clearly was nothing. It seemed to me they wanted to disturb me and I was asking myself whether this uncle could be the strange guy from next door. I clearly not recommend to stay here!

Central location, friendly staff
