    Not very vegan friendly but otherwise good but pricey food. Keep in mind that the hostel is around 20 minutes away by car from the mountain and the city Guatapé. They don´t offer any transportation and uber doesn´t work very well. They can call a taxi for you for 50 000 pesos one way so it's quite pricey. If your main reason to come is to see the city and the stone then I would recommend choosing a different accomodation

    The views are absolutely stunning. The pool is clean and the jacuzzi is to die for. They offer many activities such as SUP and kayaking. The bar and the restaurant is great. Big thanks to Tatiana for making my stay as pleasant as it was.

    Facilities are incredible and everything is always clean. Pool/hot tub area is great and there are tons of common spaces. The food in the restaurant was also very good. The boat party was a blast!

    Hot water not quite hot- more like good and warm. Wifi very weak in the rooms, hard when trying to book onward travel etc

    This is no ordinary hostel- super well thought out in every aspect: great food, activities, support and the staff are WOW. I haven't traveled using a hostel in over 15 years- nice change.

    Location is a bit far from guatape.

    Had a great stay. Good service by Tatiana, Felipe, Natalia and Andrea. Andrea did some fun games with us to get to know each other. And the morning yoga by Andrea is also amazing. It's nice to be in a nice and quiet area after the busy Medellin. Also slept great here.

    Nothing

    This place is incredible! Such a beautiful and amazing location right next to the lake with infinity pool Jacuzzi bar, loads of activities to do on the lake included. Felipe and Alejandra were absolutely amazing, accommodating very professional staff on the Reception any excursions and tours. I would highly recommend staying at this place. It's listed as a hostel, but it's closer to a four star hotel. Really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return.

    Needed a few more pieces of furniture in the room, sofa not comfortable. Stairs kind of steep. Property built on steep side of mountain, with many steep walkways to get to different levels. Not for the physically challenged.

    Gr8 place, all self contained, food and drinks very good. Staff super nice! Very pet friendly!

    Water is not provided. You need to buy it from them and then they did not even keep enough in stock. That’s something we did not see anywhere in Colombia. Although party stops at 1am here, the surrounding places blast loud music until the morning (earplugs are provided though).

    Hidden gem! Mostly local tourists, really nice party on saturday. Calm on other days. Nice facilities and pleasant all around.

    More hooks in the rooms. Apart from that was all perfect

    Amazing location right on the lake with beautiful views from the room and all communal areas Easy to get to from El Penol in a 5 minute taxi. Food was delicious and not too pricey. Staff were amazing, thank you Jonathan Quite busy at the weekend, but in the week was super chill and relaxing. Went paddle boarding which was great!

    The manager

    The place is beautiful and peaceful, the view to the lake is dreamy and makes you want to stay longer, you get to see it from everywhere in the hostel. The food is delicious even tho a bit expensive. The staff was the best part, they all made me feel so welcome I hope I get to visit again some day. From my arrival Marcela was really sweet and helpful giving me all the info I needed; Carolina was the sweetest and really caring of me. The guys from the bar were such a vibe and caring as well (I can only remember Alex' and German's name at the moment, but I know there's a third one and he also deserve to be mentioned, sorry I don't remember his name 😅). Kudos to the cleaning staff, they kept the place looking stunning and were really kind to me as well. It was a wonderful New Year's celebration, thank you all for making it so special.

    This is a fairly new Hostel that is already one of my favorite stays ever. Literally right on the lake with beautiful sunset and sunrise views. We had access to a pool, hot tub, restaurant, and bar. The wifi is not the best, but when you’re our in nature like this it’s nice to disconnect from time to time. The staff was very friendly and had no issues calling our taxi service when needed. Would love to stay here again.
