    it could be very noisy, especially if your room is near the inner yard, where all the people gather to chat. the staff does not speak English, but they are nice

    The only thing was that the bunkbeds were a bit rickety. The whole thing moved when I coughed or rolled over!

    Awesome staff and very clean place. I arrived late but Sebastian arranged the tour for me the next day, with a discount as I wanted to sleep in the desert rather than come back to town; the guide, Isabel, was amazing. The breakfast staff made a special effort to make me a vegan breakfast too.

    very hot, fan helped though. rain came through the roof but only in common area. Bit far from everything but if you‘re just there for the desert it works out just fine!

    nice room for good price, clean rooms, good breakfast. Friendly staff, did let us check in really late which was very helpful. bit hard to find as the taxi driver kept saying that it actually is a different address? not sure how true or not that is though.

    the showers were a bit too cold, but this isn’t really an issue as it is very warm there.

    very good and safe location in neiva, near the airport and nearer the tatacoa desert. cheap hostel with great services. air conditioning was great and bed was clean and comfortable. breakfast was nice. most people go here for the desert tour, so if you arrive during the day it is very quiet, not a problem again but something to note for travellers. as a solo traveller knowing this, I was okay but if you didn’t have this mindset you might be a bit taken aback. I did however reallllyyyy enjoy this hostel and it is definitely the best one with access to the desert. thanks to l the staff as well who were extremely helpful and nice

    The showers were no always clean, there were hairs all the time. It good be good to check it regularly.

    The staff is super friendly they are happy to help anytime. I was in a private room, it was spacious and comfortable, I had a ventilator a big locker room and a tv. It's less than 10 minutes away from the airport. The tatacoa Desert tour was a great experience and very good price with a very nice guide. The included breakfast ist enough and fresh made.

    They also offer a tour for 160 000 that have the potential to be very good, but it was shit. The worst tour I ever been on because of the guide and the schedule not being followed. Our guide didn’t even introduce himself, he didn’t ask for our names. He couldn’t formulate himself in English, so didn’t give us any details or information about the dessert or its history. As I know Spanish he asked me to be the translator for the group. He didn’t have the number to the chauffeur so it was loads of time we needed to walk or wait extra. Also the driver and guide never agreed and said diffrent times on everything. Just felt so unserious and unprofessional. Our guide fell asleep for 45 minutes at the restaurant after lunch and we had to wake him up and after that he was so stressed in the dessert and demanded us to walk faster so we didn’t have the time to watch as much we wanted to. Also he was so bad at directions and didn’t follow the route so we got lost in the dessert and found our way back just in time before it got dark. But it could be very dangerous if we would be there in the darkness. For the guides best if he wants to continue as a guide in the future he should have some super advisor looking over him, because this was the worst tour guide I ever experienced in my whole life. Could be worth 160 000, but was definitely not felt like fooled with my money.

    The reception is open 24/7 which is good The accommodation is fine to stay in only for a short while if you’re going to the dessert. The rooms are nice, spacious, comfy beds and have air conditioners. Anyway it’s weird the kitchen tables are between the toilets and in the middle of where everyone’s going.

    Unsure there are enough bathrooms for everyone staying, I always seemed to be waiting. Rooms aren't fully closed, there is a gap at the top (was glad I had earplugs) so noise and bugs come in easily. Fan only.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. The room was adequate.

    The tatacoa desert tour was amazing! But the hostel itself is mediocre. It's not clean, staff speaks only Spanish and the guy working at the reception at night is very dishonest and stealthy as he wanted to sell me a bottle of water at night for 13000 cop (for reference, it costs three times the price at the airport). There's nothing around the area but it's very close to the airport.

    The tatacoa desert tour!
