The small room downstairs is very humid, after two nights it starts to get uncomfortable as nothing really dries

Had a really good experience in this posada, the staff is super friendly, pristine facilities, good breakfast, awesome location and always fresh coffee, what else can someone ask for?

Wonderful staff…

Breakfast was better than most we’ve had in Colombia but a little more variety would make it absolutely perfect.

All of the staff were so lovely and friendly. The room was great - loved the decor, felt like you were in someone’s home rather than a hotel. Plenty of space for bags etc and still space to sit either at the little table or on the sofa. Bed was extremely comfortable. Great location in centre of town. Recommend taking the larger queen room as it’s up stairs so opens onto a balcony rather than onto communal courtyard. Also lots of windows so plenty of light.

The bed is extremely hard! But this seems to be the standard in Colombia.

The location is great and the staff is helpful. The breakfast is also good. Parking is close and private.

I have no issues with this establishment at all.

Posada Martha Tolima is the hidden gem of Salento! Our room was creatively decorated, clean and spacious...very unique and comforting and great bed. You climb a colorful tiled spiral staircase to get to the second floor with an open balcony to view the back court scenery. You can also breakfast or work from the second floor with a view. Breakfast is individually prepared each day from a list of 10 meals selections. It's fast and good and their coffee is some of the best that I have had in Colombia. The staff is super friendly and helped w lots of our questions and were particularly helpful with our transportation issues, This place is more of a home than hotel. We felt very safe and welcomed here. They have a common den for just hanging out or relaxing with a book, laptop or cleaning your cell phone, The WiFi was great throughout. There are collections hanging everywhere. We particularly liked the wide display of ceramic Colombian churches. . Logistically, they are 1 1/2 blocks from the Town Square, just far enough away from any noise or traffic which was modest at best. We would return here in a heartbeat and highly recommend a stay here.

Great location in central Salento close to everything, good staff & service, tasty breakfast, large room and comfortable bed

Small room, small bathroom - no ventilation. Windows open on common area.

Host very nice. Very close to the plaza, breakfast ok.

Stayed in February 2024

Breakfast starts at 7:30 and is made one at a time, so if you have activities planned that start early, on-side breakfast may not be a viable option for you. Pillows are not very comfortable - too thin for back sleepers and too springy to stack together. Dim lighting in the bathroom - not really fit for shaving. The hostel is pad locked for the night, so you need to flag down a staff member with the key to enter and exit during off-hours.

Great location (quite relative to the other parts of town, but close to everything), artsy room decor, oscillating fan to circulate the air in the room, tasty breakfast, very friendly staff (but practice your Spanish - no English is spoken).

The top blanket had a bit of an unpleasant smell to it.

Super comfortable bed. The shower was awesome and didn’t run out of hot water. The location was great, right off the main Square but still super quiet at night. The main guy at the front desk was very nice. There was a language barrier, but he was very patient until I could understand. Nice breakfast menu with great food.

Alejandro was really nice and gave us the room (that was already ready) way before the check-in hour.. He was also very helpful to organize an amazing cacao tour

All good

Lovely little hotel just near the main square, but still quiet. Friendly staff and great breakfast. The best hot shower

The only little thing was that we couldn’t refill our water bottles there. We could buy water but we’re trying to not use as much plastic. However there was plenty for making coffee or tea at the hotel.

They were incredibly welcoming, the hostel decorations were cute and the room was large and comfortable, much bigger than it looked in the pictures. It was a great location, just down the hill from the main square on a quieter side street. They gave us a huge book full of things to do in Salento and told us about the Santa Rita waterfall which we’d never heard of before but ended up being a great day hike. Breakfast was very good also. I actually miss this place and wish we could have stayed longer.

The only con is that the window in our room was just behind the reception desk, so we could hear everyone at reception.

Comfortable and cozy. Good breakfast, free private parking and hot water.

Nothing.

Great location close to plaza, extremely friendly and helpful staff/owner. Small but very comfortable room/bed/hot shower and nice decor. Breakfast made to order and early if need for early tour/bus. Outstanding value and highly recommend!

The room was small for a couple with luggage. The shower was cold.

The staff were super friendly. The hotel was quirky with its decor. The bed was really comfy. Great location, walking distance everywhere. Tasty breakfast too 😊

There was a misunderstanding as I thought to have booked a room with a patio. What is called patio, is basically the indoor room where you take the breakfast and the window of that bedroom was looking into it (basically, not a real window). I managed to have it changed and I was assigned to room facing the street which was just perfect.

Martha is a superwoman who goes the extra mile to make her guest happy, the same as the her staff. The room was small but nicely decorated. Towels and linen were changed daily, which I wasn't expecting it. The room is spotless, as it is the whole place. Hot shower (apparently not so common in Colombia). I definitely recommend her posada and I wish to Martha and her staff all the best.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this pretty B&B and Salento itself! The owners were so nice, helpful and welcoming that I had that wonderful feeling that I was visiting my family. The breakfast was nice and very homey. They even gave me the boots and the rain poncho for the Cocora valley hike. I definitely recommend that place because of its owners, perfect location (close to the centre and the bus station), value for money and a very warm feeling :)
