    Good place to stay for the tatacoa tour. The hostel arrange everything for you so you don’t have to work out transport. Basic room but cheap and good value for money. No filter water available

    Only there were ants in the kitchen so keep your food in the fridge. My room the second night was very hot, no air conditioning so if that is hard for you, spend more and get a room that has it.

    Everything was fine, no big complaints, just a few small details. The staff were great, very helpful and met some great people. Their desert tour was great, super interesting, excellent guide, very good price. Definitely I can recommend this hostel

    It would be great if we could receive towels in the private rooms at least. The location is further away from the city center.

    It has nice paintings. It is clean and has a lot of common spaces. The tour is great! The value for the price is fantastic.

    The communal spaces right next to my room. It is a hostel though so it was fine.

    Excellent value for money. Well organised with laundry facilities, a kitchen, communal spaces, free coffee, snd an excellent discount on the desert tour if you are staying there. Esay to get to and from. Really cheerful communal spaces and a safe normal residential of town. The tour of the Tatacoa is excellent value for money too. It is a hostel and it is simple but well worth what you pay. Drinks and beers available too and breakfast. Really great.

    Excellent hostel! The staff was great and very helpful, our private twin room was specious enough and we had two quality nights of sleep. The kitchen is good enough to be able to cook pretty much whatever you want. There’s free coffee in the morning too. The property is big enough for multiple nice common rooms, and there’s a little outside areas for smokers. We also had what I thought was an excellent deal for our room, so the value we got for our stay really exceeded our expectation. I’m assuming a few people would like to know: the hostel is about 6-7km from the bus station, and is situated in a residential area. The taxi cost around 15000Cop from the station to the hostel. All the taxis were waiting outside and used meters. I also believe a lot of people comes to Neiva to do the Tatacoa desert. The hostel offers a tour for 160000Cop with transport door to door, a guide, a small boat tour, visits to two deserts and lunch included. We enjoyed our tour, and some of the scenery were breathtaking!

    Room was attached to the communal area/corridor and there was some guests hanging out there late at night or early in the morning and it would be very noisy right outside your door. Reception desk right there, but nothing done to control noise.

    Booked this hostel for their desert tour. All went well. Private room with air con which worked well and kept us cool. Can use kitchen which was well equipped.

    The hostel is relatively far out of the center of Neiva, and even though it's walkable (~25 minutes) it's not the nicest walk so I'd recommend to take a taxi. Also, as is typical in the region cause it's so hot, the showers only have one temperature (lukewarm) rather than a mixer.

    The staff is absolutely wonderful (special shout-out to Ana Maria) and very helpful. The hostel is very economical and clean, and the rooms and a good size. Every day there is a tour to the Tatacoa desert, which is the main nearby attraction.

    Towels would have been a nice addition. Neiva itself was a bit sketchy but it is still definetly worth going there for the desert tour.

    The beds were comfortable. Each bed had plugs but no curtains or lights. The kitchen was well equipped. A cheap breakfast could be provided. The desert tour is sooo great and definetly worth the money. The staff was lovely. The room had AC.

    The surrounding area isn't the nicest.

    We only stayed for one night and had a very early bus the next day but staff were very helpful in getting us a cab and directing us to shops. The room was basic but for the price fine for one night.

    Perfect location and also booked a tour with the hostel to Tatacoa Desert which was the main reason for being there and it did not disappoint. Juan David was a great member of staff. Very helpful with my late arrival and there for anything I needed as well as being friendly which makes all the difference. Highly recommended.

    The location is maybe not entirely ideal as it is a bit far from the Center but close to the airport and by no means it’s a bad location!

    The Tatacoa tour was incredible! Very knowledgeable guide, beautiful spots and stops beyond the red and white desert. Extremely good value for money as it lasted the entire day including lunch and we were then dropped off in Villavieja for our second night. Also the staff in general was super friendly and helpful.
