Salento hotellia

Plussat: Very close to the square

Plussat: The view from the private balcony is great. The room is very spacious and the breakfast is brought to your room. So you can enjoy the breakfast from the balcony with a view.

Plussat: Nice facilities

Miinukset: The staff member, Andres, was a joke. I went to the desk late at night, and he was dead asleep. It took him several minutes to get himself DRESSED and answer the door. He was in a complete daze when I was trying to talk to him, so either he was sleeping or under the influence. During check in he made the process very strange. He came to my room and took a picture of my passport with his personal cell phone. I didn’t feel comfortable with him at all. He forgot to give me a key to my room - I had to go out of my way to ask for one. It’s a nice place, but hopefully you don’t have to deal with this ridiculous guy.

Plussat: The view from the balcony was outstanding. It was great to wake up and look out the windows from the bed. The room was well-equipped with a kitchen. It had great character.

Miinukset: The staff, while nice, made some terrible decisions regarding our stay. We booked for two nights. The first night was great. And then, for no discernible reason, the staff made us change our room. They told us as we were going out for the day to hike. So we had to go back to our room to pack for the move before we could go for our hike so near you turn on the air conditioner just don't turn it on very low. The second room was identical to the first, so it made no sense for us to change. However, the second room had had its wood floor recently oiled. When we laid down in the bed, the smell of oil was overwhelming. We had to sleep with all windows and doors open during the night to avoid the noxious smell of the floor. These inconsiderate staff decisions spoiled what could have been a very nice stay.

Plussat: Close to town/ good location. Quiet at night. Very friendly staff. Claudia, Sandra were so patient with us as we didn’t speak any Spanish and Andres brought us coffee every morning with a smile. Very clean. Good wi fi and view

Miinukset: The roosters around town starting early morning but it is not the hotel’s problem.

Plussat: Adorable property with lovely views from the balconies. Very helpful staff.

Miinukset: Low water pressure was a little bit annoying

Plussat: Beautiful view. Easy walk to square, but out of the hustle of the busiest part of town. Loved it!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This hotel exceeded our expectations. The apartment is so spacious and even has a big balcony with mountain view. Everything was super clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The location is great too! Everything you need for a perfect getaway in Salento.

Plussat: Comfortable - nice staff - on top of whatever we needed - polite - Location close to most things in town.

Miinukset: Only 2 suggestion ..... One more mirrors placed outside the bathroom. A few more hooks on the walls of the room.

Plussat: Everything! The staff were SO friendly, the rooms fantastic- we could have hung around all day. Highly recommend

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff. Bikes to rent. Lovely breakfast with great views, really relaxed hostel to chill out in. And they've a big friendly dog wandering about the place. One of the best places I've stayed in Colombia

Miinukset: Bit of noise from traffic in the road if you're at the front of the building

Plussat: Opposite bus station. Lovely breakfast and hospitable staff

Miinukset: Slight walk into centre of town. Even private room was quiet

Plussat: Nice location: quiet with a great garden and gorgeous view. The hammocks in the garden are great to relax and the staff is very helpful. You have a great choice of breakfast and its nice. It's near the bus station, so that's quite handy too. Everything is super clean.

Plussat: Absolutely beautiful garden with a great view on the nearby mountain scenery. Huge breakfast with several options to choose from. Private room with sufficient size and good bed. Overall you can see the love that the owners put into their place.

Miinukset: Nothing to say

Plussat: Beautiful and convenient location. Friendly service. Exceeded our expectations, and we’d definitely go back.

Plussat: The garden and the location was amazing, created a really peaceful atmosphere.

Plussat: Great staff and beautiful garden

Miinukset: Mattress was a but soft

Plussat: This was such a great place. Only a 5 minute walk to the town centre the hostel is on the boarder of the town with great views of the mountains and a nice little garden. The staff is very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Great location, right in front of the bus station, however it is perfectly quiet in the night. 5min away from the city center! Fantastic and warm welcome!

Plussat: Nice garden area at back of property

Miinukset: Very very noisy with central bus station directly opposite.. Mattresses very old..

Plussat: I love the place, it is beautiful, the breakfast options offered were good, We had the opportunity to meet the owner and he was extremely nice, you can feel at home, the little jacuzzy/pool at the patio was the perfect ending after 7 hours hiking at the Valle del Cocora.

Plussat: Good location just a few hunderd meters away from the busy city center. The hotel is clean and the jacuzzi is fine to relax in the evening :-)

Plussat: We like how nice and welcoming the staff was. Doña Magnolia made us feel like home, so polite and courteous . The jacuzzi after a long day of hiking was heaven sent. We are definitely coming back and we are gonna let our friends and family know about this jewel in Salento.

Plussat: Everything was wonderful, truly a beautiful property with kind hosts! I loved the rooms, too, very clean and modern. We loved Magnolia, and there were sweet touches everywhere (like flags hanging around representing the guests countries). Also, breakfast was great!

Miinukset: It wasn't even a true negative, but we did wish the bathtub/ shower also functioned as a bathtub, too. It did not make us love Dos Palmas any less though!

Plussat: Staff and accommodations were amazing thank you very much

Plussat: The people! Claudia and Doña magnolia provided excellent custumer service.

Plussat: Beautiful place, nice staff

Miinukset: Rooms are normal. The suite is cool tho.

Plussat: Quite central and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Shutters rather than windows.

Plussat: The staff were amazing and so friendly. The rooms were great and the pool area fantastic. Highly recommended.

Plussat: Lovely base to explore Salento and surrounds. The hotel is beautiful and the jacuzzi is a great way to relax at the end of a day's trekking.

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: The view was amazing. Photos don't do it justice. The staff were very accommodating with needing a late check out and more. Fabion who works there, is probably the sweetest guy ever. This stay was the best part of our whole vacation. Stop thinking- just stay here.

Plussat: Everything was great. Excelent and friendly staff who were very helpfull. Breakfast buffet with plenty of fresh jugos. Mountian view was fantastic, jacuzzi also nice. Would reccomend and high five.

Plussat: Beautiful view, very friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast.

Miinukset: Toilet blocked easily, noise from dogs, chickens, music, fridge in room. Taxi to airport very steep !

Plussat: The Hotel itself has an absolutely amazing view of the countryside. It’s the perfect place to sit and unwind. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, they helped recommend different activities for us which was great. The rooms themselves were very clean and a decent breakfast too. Excellent stay all round, would definitely recommend.

Miinukset: Service. There was no water. No view to thw valley but to an awful street. They treat you greatly if you are European or NorthAmerican but discrimonatory if you are Colombian

Plussat: It’s is nice and clean. It is also very quite at night time. The view at the balcony is wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The view from the restaurant is excellent.

Plussat: Very good hotel! Staff very friendly. Breakfast very good, with an amazing view. We had to leave early the last day, so they opened the breakfast earlier for us. Room and bed were good

Plussat: Amazing views, great breakfast and very helpful staff!

Plussat: Louis, the excellent hotel staff, will make sure that your stay will be the best it can be. With stunning views from the patio this place will not disappoint. We would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The property was clean, the WiFi was fast, and the breakfast was great. The shower had great water pressure and the temperature controls also worked very well. The staff members were great and very helpful in providing recommendations on what to see/do/eat in Salento. The property also provides all guests with a 1-hour free Tejo game!

Miinukset: The room did not have any view/windows, which I expected for the price that I paid. The room also did not have a fan which would have been nice as it tended to get stuffy in our room.

Plussat: Staff was so friendly, it was really quiet during the nights, great location and a nice restaurant with good food. Comfy beds!

Miinukset: Nothing at all!

Plussat: the breakfast was simply great ! Best in town:)

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay at Beta hotel. The restaurant across the street was great and we enjoyed the packed lunch they made for our day hike to Corcora valley. The staff were all friendly and kind. The rooms were very clean.

Miinukset: We did not have a room in the main courtyard shown in pictures, but instead in a hallway that was quite loud as other travelers were walking by. There was no window facing outside (just to the hallway, so we kept it shut).

Plussat: Came to small town in Colombia for 3 nights to see coffee region but were enchanted with the family that runs the hotel and Salento and all the things to see and do thus so we ended up staying 6 nights. Hotel is clean and comfortable, the owners and staff pleasant and accommodating. Hotel was recently enlarged and refurbished. Rooms are large and the bathroom/shower modern. The breakfast (as well as other meals) were delicious. Wonderful owner family help you to enjoy Colombia in general, Salento specifically and its surroundings (national park with tall palms, coffee region/farm, thermal spa with waterfalls, botanical garden with humming birds and a butterfly pavillion, and an orchid farm. Easily the #1 hotel in Salento. Take the time to play a game of Tejo!!! Wifi worked better here than it did in most places in Colombia.

Plussat: Very friendly staff in the hotel restaurant! A very good breakfast.

Miinukset: The windows on to the central yard are just wooden slats, so can be very noisy if there are inconsiderate guests... which there were

Plussat: Staff were helpful. Location was good. Room was clean and comfortable perfect room for the family

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We had a great stay at Beta. The staff was incredibly friendly and had lots of great tips for us. Thank you for everything!

Plussat: It has big rooms, comfy bed, soft sheets and the stuff si very helpful. They organized a massage for me although it was late.

Miinukset: When there is a lot of people using baths at the same time the pressure of water drops in your shower.

Plussat: The staff was very helpful!

Miinukset: The initial information on booking.com was very misleading. When we arrived, our double room turned out to be a twin room with separate beds. The man who greeted us was unfriendly and continued to be so for our entire unpleasant stay. The beds were uncomfortable and the shower had no real hot water to speak of. As a result we decide to cut our stay short which cost us a small fortune in cancellation fees, however I've never been so happy to pay to leave somewhere in my life. I would definitely advise others to stay elsewhere.

Plussat: Perfect location, perfect owner and perfect view! After the moment we arrived we felt so welcome an the owner was so hospitable that we forgot about our 10 hour drive to Salento. The place is so beautiful and idyllic that everything became perfect. The rooms were unbelievably clean! The floor looked like a mirror. You will understand when you see it. The owner spoke perfect Englisch and explained everything there was to do in Salento. She recommended us the tours and even explained the time and day we should do it. The restaurants she recommended where really as good as she said they would be. Try the mix restaurant(don’t remember the name) we had a Jack Daniels beef burger it was awesome. Love from Colombia! In Medellin try the Marriott hotel and ask for a room on the 4th floor next to the pool!

Miinukset: ———-

Plussat: Paula and her family are LOVELY. This is a family-owned finca and I had the great pleasure to share a lovely moment with the family :) The view is superb, at the top of Salento and yet only 5 min walk up from the main street. You feel like at home, room and bathroom are spacious, you can really settle in. Also WiFi worked pretty well! The garden is AMAZING! THOSE COLORS! And you can hear/see birds almost all day long. Perfect days as far as I'm concerned.

Miinukset: I would have liked some fruits to be included in the standard breakfast. Other than this, nothing to say :-)

Plussat: The owners are very friendly and helpful! It was a pleasure to talk with them! Perfect view! Absolut beautiful and quiet terrace! Nice garden!

Plussat: Perfect view (outdoor terrace) and nice breakfast. And very helpful staff. Clean and very professionally managed hostel. Good value for money.

Miinukset: Shower could have warmer water.

Plussat: Lovely Finca, helpful hosts who couldn't do enough for you.

Miinukset: Nothing, just need to accept that shower facilites are very Colombian!!

Plussat: Asombroso! I will stay here again! Next time I will stay longer.

Miinukset: Leaving. I didn't want to leave.

Plussat: We had a wonderful stay at Finca Cardonales. Jose and his wife made us feel at home and we couldn't have wanted for anything!

Plussat: Staff went out of way to accommodate and help.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything except the shower

Miinukset: Shower was very weak

Plussat: Great place, very centrally located and very friendly staff. Just make sure you don’t get one of the rooms in the front of the accomodation because you won’t get any sleep. But that’s something you can work around and coordinate.

Miinukset: No hangers or closet to put your stuff.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Perfect location. Great beds.

Miinukset: Sound insulation not great.

Plussat: Great place! Very good room right in the center of salento

Miinukset: The noise at night is very hard to get used to But the staff informed us in advance about it

Plussat: Location is great. Has a kitchen so you can prepare your own breakfast. Staff were friendly but only spoke spanish

Miinukset: No breakfast so had to go looking for cafes early in the morning before the tours began.

Plussat: Location could not be better, staff does not speak proper English however they are extremely kind and helpfull. In this age of translation possibilities language is no problem whatsoever. After we checked out they looked after our bags for a full day free of charge. A great place overall!

Plussat: Location is perfect. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The room was so clean and the beds were very comfortable. Altogether was really nice stay and would definitely recommend.

Miinukset: It was slightly noisy as it is located on the man square but we were informed about this prior to our arrival. Most of the music stops early enough anyway.

Plussat: Perfect location, very comfy beds, clean room.

Miinukset: Can be noisy at night.

Plussat: Is in the middle of the town, everyting is close. The room are confortable and new.

Miinukset: the hotel doesn't have parking

Plussat: The location is ideal. In the center of the Salento's plaza. Everything is within walking distance. Vivi, the attendant, was glorious. Very personable and friendly.

Plussat: It was clean, the staff was very friendly, good location.

Miinukset: Just very noisy because the main square in town it is at front of the hotel, also it did not have closets to put clothes.

Plussat: The staff was really nice, and the location was perfect.

Miinukset: The wifi in our room was almost non-existent and there was a construction work outside, which was starting every morning from 7 am.

Plussat: Friendly staff, Mandy Services on offer (eG Touren , Trekking, massage, bike rental etc)

Miinukset: Cleaness, bed linen and sheets not smelling freshly, hard cushion

Plussat: We booked here for two nights but even stayed a third one. The location is perfect, Salento is not that big so you can walk everywhere. The staff is very friendly! Luckily they speak a little bit English. They offer a lot of activities here which are very easy to book and also very nice! We did the horsebackriding to the waterfalls, so beautifull! The breakfast is not much but everything you need (eggs, bit of fruit and a toast). If you want to cook yourself, there even is a kitchen at your disposal. The rooms are nice as well and they cleaned them every day. We had a great stay here!

Plussat: This hostel is beautiful. Great location, great room, great price, friendly staff, awesome breakfast with an incredible view. There’s free coffee all day too! This hostel was really wonderful and highly recommended.

Miinukset: The only problem with my time here was the bed. It was ROCK hard. I generally prefer firm beds, but this one was like a wooden board. It was actually difficult for my husband and I to sleep. But I touched a bed in a different room and it was fine, so I think it depends on your individual room. My room was number 6.

Plussat: Salento is a great location for seeing coffee farms and touring the beautiful Cocora Valley. The concierge was very helpful with trekking and tour information. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was a good start for potential long day of exploring. La Floresta is nicely located a few minutes walk from the main square and approx. ten minutes from the bus station. This is a quiet hostel with more private rooms than dorms. A mix of single travelers and couples.

Miinukset: Only thing we noticed was that there were only two shared toilets and showers, so you may need to wait during busy morning or evening periods.

Plussat: I’ve really liked this place ! The staff was super nice and very helpful, breakfast was delicious and the place was super nice!

Plussat: - really friendly staff - great location - relaxing hammocks - clean and well maintained

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Clean room, hot water always available. OK breakfast. Close to the city centre. No problem with parking on the street or in the yard. Polite and friendly staff. Perfect wifi connection.

Miinukset: Very poor sound isolation of the room.

Plussat: Good location, very clean and quite modern, great breakfast with an awesome rooftop view.

Plussat: The garden is so beautiful and the staff really friendly. The shower was nice and hot water! Great view and location. 5 min Walk to the main Square with lots of Restaurants. Room was big but had some issues ...

Miinukset: our room, which was more expensive cause we booked a double private room (called double espresso), was unfortunately in the basement without any view or fresh air (there is a wall in front of the window) Plus it was kind of humid in the room all the time so not even the towels could dry ... so the Air in the room wasn’t that good ...

Plussat: Friendly Staff, especially Christian and Maya. Social Hostel with a nice view. Good breakfast for 7000cop

Plussat: Well equipped kitchen and good location

Miinukset: Atmosphere could be better. Not enough chill out areas for such a big hostel.

Plussat: The hostel was amazing!! It has been the best hostel we have experienced so far. We were in a private room which was large with nice decor and an excellent balcony view. The staff here are wonderful, Julian and Luis specifically were extremely friendly and helpful! The location from the city plaza is very accessible, the place is spotless clean and the views are epic. I would highly recommend staying here!

Miinukset: Just a cool thing to do: It would be a really good surprise for people when you can check in early as soon your bed is ready :) for example the nightbus travelers will highly appreciate

Plussat: Breakfast is very good, staff is friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: I little bit expensive.

Plussat: The hostel was very clean, beds were comfy and the view was amazing. I enjoyed the free Spanish class and free yoga class.

Miinukset: Overpriced for what it was

Plussat: - spacious rooms - awesome views from some of the rooms - staff at counter were helpful

Miinukset: - went somewhere else for breakfast even though it was included in the price. - on the edge of Salento so quite a walk from/to bus station

Plussat: Staff was always friendly and helpful. The breakfast and bar were always nice and a good way to meet others.

Miinukset: My room was next to a main road which had motorcycle, car, and pedestrian traffic almost constantly. The noise was pretty significant. If you're looking for a private room, try to get one with a balcony which faces the mountains and are not backed up to the street. Probably much quieter.

Plussat: Nice view and fine breakfast

Miinukset: Beds weren’t too steady and small bathroom in the room

Plussat: Hotel was really nice, rooms were clean and comfortable. It is short walk to the main square, and from there you can get a jeep to take you to Cocora valley, coffee farms, etc.

Miinukset: There is nothing I didn't like in particular.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff, good and central location, great restaurant nearby

Miinukset: Room and bed were really small, no air circulation because of a missing bathroom window, needed a fan to get a breeze into the room

Plussat: Very nice and clean hotel. Breakfast was very good. Super comfortable.

Plussat: Good position, close to the "attractions" but quiet. Good breakfast in a brand new restaurant. The restaurant is also a plus if you want an alternative to the lobby to relax and enjoy the view.

Miinukset: Rooms are clean but quite small. Can be noisy if other guests don't comply with the "silence after 10pm" policy. That is because many rooms face the lobby.

Plussat: Extremely good location, the main plaza is just a couple of minutes away. The hotel’s restaurant was very good, best hotel breakfast we had in Colombia and the dinner menu was also very good. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would definetely recommend!

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and they changed the room of my Father-in-law without any problems so he didn´t have to climb the stairs.

Miinukset: They could have an elevator, my Father-in-law has back problems and had a hard time getting upstairs everyday to the fourth floor to get breakfast.

Plussat: Very clean and a beautiful property! The staff was nice and willing to help, especially in the restaurant. The food was just the best!

Miinukset: All the water for the facility is heated via solar and stored on the roof. We LOVE the initiative! But we never had hot water and had to take cold showers... It's worth knowing that the temperature dips into the 14°-16°'C range in the evening in Salento. We wish they had had either a larger store of hot water or an alternative beat source for cloudy days...

Plussat: The hotel is very confortable and the hall particularly is very pleasant

Plussat: This hotel exceeded our expectations. They are going through renovations right now, and it was looking really nice. The staff is really helpful and the grounds are beautiful. Would definitely stay again.

Plussat: Colorful architecture, wonderful views, convenient location.

Miinukset: Running out of hot water.

Plussat: Sebastian was so helpful and friendly! We were so impressed by the overall help and advice! Thanks

Plussat: Great location, clean room, lovely staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We stayed only for a night but it was great and comfortable. Although there were some cleaning issues in the bathroom, it was absolutely fine.

Miinukset: Everything was great although there was a lot of noise coming from the street and windows were not adjusted to that. :)

Plussat: So good we stayed three extra nights!

Plussat: Good location nice old building nice garden

Miinukset: Next to the main road, you could smell the gases of the cars in the room

Plussat: Everything. Location, cleanliness, upgraded bathrooms in some rooms; great place to enjoy Salento. Diego and Sebastian were extremely helpful!

Plussat: Fantastic hostel that seemed more like a boutique hotel. Nicely decorated room with great communal seating areas. Located very centrally in Salento with very friendly staff who went out of their way to help us with finding restaurants and planning travel and activities. Would strongly recommend.

Miinukset: Funny smell in the bathroom but cleaned very thoroughly every day

Plussat: Great central location. Rustic charm n big bedroom

Miinukset: US$50 fee if we lost key. Toaster simply refused to work properly n had to hold lever down. Made worse by the fact it only toasted one side of bread.

Plussat: The location, the room was not rented the night in front so we were able to get into the room much earier, that was so nice!

Miinukset: Every sound on the street or in the hotel we would hear. The breakfast was not as the pictures

Plussat: Very nice staff, almays helpful and friendly. Godd position

Plussat: Location was great! Close to the metro station (5 minutes walking), and restaurants (10 minutes walking). Laundry service and breakfast was also (simple but) nice. Roof terrace with hammocks was relaxed!

Miinukset: We had a room with balcony (without bathroom), which was fine, but with easy improvements it would have been even better. A mirror on the wall, and a few hooks to hang up towels/clothes would have been great. Furthermore, The plastic on the mattress is hygienic, but you wake up a bit sweaty.. maybe a thicker sheet on top of the plastic layer would prevent this..? Also, in the (2nd floor) bathroom there was just a tiny trash bin for dirty toilet paper. This was often full, therefor we recommend a larger bin, or emptying it more often!

Plussat: The location is perfect. The garden is beautiful. Its very spacious.

Miinukset: I slept in the highest bed and everytime i moved the whole bed was shaking and making a lot of noise.

Plussat: Very nice hostel close to the main square. Very helpful staff and very clean and comfortable

Miinukset: Slightly noisy but that’s only to be expected as it’s the same everywhere in salento unless you stay out of the town.

Plussat: The staff was very helpfull and friendly

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Our cabin was super cute, the shower was good and breakfast was nice too! staff was friendly and shared lots of information.

Miinukset: There wasnt a very social vibe around.

Plussat: The central Location is very convenient. At the same time the hostel has a lovely garden which makes you feel like you are out in the nature. The rooms and the spacious bathrooms are very clean and the kitchen in the garden invites to cook and chill.

Plussat: The hostel has many chill areas, the personal was nice and friendly.

Miinukset: Our room had no fan nor airconditioning, so we had to open the window (room located on the ground floor in front of the street) to cool down the temperatures. As a result streets light were shining inside, and all insects were invited to join the room as well as there was no net protecting against insects. Even more annoying was that it was really noisy. We could basically hear everything happening outside of our room and as a result had great difficulties with sleeping.

Plussat: Staff were lovely and super helpful, location is excellent and it was clean with amazing facilities. Garden is lovely.

Miinukset: Bunk bed was incredibly unstable and every time I moved I thought it was going to fall apart. The lockers upstairs can't be used so have to go downstairs to use lockers. It was also pretty noisy with people talking and dogs barking outside the room all night.

Plussat: Breakfast and shower

Miinukset: I felt a little cold

Plussat: Location, very close to the main square Breackfast, very nice brackfast Badroom and bedroom really clear Staff; friendly and available

Miinukset: Sharing badroom; few badroom respect the people were in the hostel; in the morning it was often busy
