Salento hotellia

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: 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: View from the balcony is excellent. In the quiet part of Salento with sprawling garden. Exceptional staff.

Miinukset: Locker did not work. WC seat was broken.

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: The staff was very nice. We got perfect recommendations, what you can do in Salento. The breakfast was great and could be taken on your own terrace.

Miinukset: The wooden floor was a bit noisy on the way to the toilet.

Plussat: There was nothing not to like about this accommodation from the staff to the quality and cleanliness of our room. I highly recommend.

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

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The property was super clean, a 5-7 min walk in to the main streets of town and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Salento is a great place to stay for 1-2 nights. A coffee tour, visiting the Cocora Valley and eating trout are a must.

Plussat: Location & view were outstanding. Everything worked as expected, including wifi. Hot water was plentiful. Tea & coffee always available on the veranda. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast offered good choices and service.

Miinukset: Nothing, but visitors coming from Pereira airport by taxi should note that it is cheaper to get the official taxis which have an authorized fare rate from the airport than getting a taxi thru the hotel (145,000 versus 185,000 COP). Buses are a cheaper option leaving Salento if you want to mix with other travelers and locals.

Plussat: Beautiful location, exactly as shown on the fotos. Rooms super nice. Very nice people, excellent breakfast.

Plussat: Friendly, professional, English-speaking manager. Fantastic breakfast. Views to die for. Rooms were very clean and well-kept. Coffee and tea available all day.

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: Great view from the restaurant and social areas

Miinukset: That we gota no view room and the hotels information says all rooms with wonderful views

Plussat: Fantastic location overlooking the mountains, lots of birds to watch from the balcony too. The room with the Jacuzzi on the balcony was wonderful. Great breakfast and staff too.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Amazing views, very close to town Center, delicious breakfast.

Plussat: Private hottub on terrace overlooking the valley. Very friendly staff, delicious breakfast, private parking lot

Plussat: Nice atmosphere

Miinukset: Room a little dark

Plussat: Fantastic garden with tropical birds and hammocks to chill. Location just out of town, so nice and quiet but close enough to go out at night. Very helpful staff. Showers are good and warm. Excellent breakfast, you can choose from a number of options. Price/quality is excellent.

Miinukset: We stayed in 2 different rooms. One had a good bed, the other one was not so great. Also, we had some ants in the room.

Plussat: - friendly (englisch speaking) staff - nice breakfast - a wonderful garden - a quiet and relaxed hostel, what we enjoed

Miinukset: - our mattress was worn out and the pillow was of very cheap quality, means sleep was rather uncomfortable - no mosquito net

Plussat: Originally booked 3 night but decided last minute to stay only 2. Said this during check in and was no problem :) also had a welcome drink. Location is beautiful and breakfast felt like a hotel

Plussat: Variety of breakfast options, nice outdoor area, free books to enjoy whilst you stay, rooms were good, and the staff was very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: The mini fridge was very very noisy during the night, and we had to disconnect it. Mini fridges are in general quite unnecessary :-)

Plussat: The staff of this hostel is extremly friendly! The take care of their guests and their laundry service is very good!

Miinukset: In the night it’s very cold in Salento... around 10-15 degrees. Therefore it was freezing in the room as well. They provide blankets, but they seemed rather old and smelly... Also in the bathroom it’s not possible to close the small window above the shower so it’s really unpleasant using the bathroom as soon as the sun goes down.

Plussat: The garden with the birds! Breakfast was good as well for Colombian standards.

Plussat: Great breakfast, very nice garden and hosts very helpful in everything. Quite and calm place

Miinukset: Small and not effective fan. Warn bed

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and kind. They had a Christmas celebration dinner for everyone which was very nice of them. They helped me with transport as well. The view is quite nice as you're outside the main area and can look at the mountains. There are also a few options for breakfast which is good if you're staying there longer. I enjoyed the breakfast view.

Miinukset: It's close to the road so you can hear the cars :( Also, I was travelling alone and found the location a bit far and didn't feel comfortable at nights walking back, but it should be okay if you're travelling with someone. Also, their breakfast is until 9.30 which is quite early. If you're not a morning person like me, have that in mind! The bathroom was a bit small but it was okay.

Plussat: Very kind staff. Great service.

Plussat: It was very clean and nice looking. There is even a charger with multiple USB ports in the room. The location is amazing, right on the centre

Miinukset: It was noisy at night ( but that stops at around 1) It was a bit hard to communicate in English, but doable

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: The location

Miinukset: No shampoo

Plussat: Amazing Posada with very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean, very comfortable and a huge bed. Location top! Gracias por todo!

Plussat: Good location, very clean, staff were really nice and helpful.

Miinukset: Didn’t have an option of breakfast but had a kitchen where you could cook your own.

Plussat: Nice little posada in the centre of Salento. Right accross the jeeps to Cocora Valley. Supermarket right under the building and all the food options within a few steps. Common kitchen with delicious coffee in the morning. Lovely housekeeping staff!

Miinukset: The room is slightly small.

Plussat: Good staff and day cleaning. Good location.

Miinukset: No soundproofing at all. You hear every sound from courtyard and other rooms. Need some renovation. Poor breakfast. Overpriced.

Plussat: The staff at beta is extremely friendly and helpful. They have their own tour office and are happy to help you with anything you made need. The breakfast is great and is served with freshly squeezed OJ.

Plussat: All staff were incredibly friendly and helpful

Miinukset: This is so minor but the bathroom fans are so noisy. It’s not a big issue at all though.

Plussat: Lovely family that really takes care of you. They speak English very well and they go out of their way to make you feel at home. Location is great, you’re a few steps away from the city center. They have activities like playing Tejo, they will assist you on booking trips or travels and there are bicycles for rent. Try one of the tours to the surrounding coffee plantations. That was impressive! Thanks for being such lovely hosts!

Miinukset: Personally I found the room too basic for my taste. That was mostly due to lack of natural light, very hard mattresses and having a tiny bathroom. I did not get this from the pictures before. And it’s okay if you’re aware and looking for a more basic base to start your day, but it just wasn’t for me.

Plussat: All good

Miinukset: Brilliant

Plussat: Staff was nice. Location pretty good.

Miinukset: No A/C. Room was too hot, although it cooled off a bit at night.

Plussat: The shower area and the bedrooms/ whole facility is very clean. The property is a little walk from the town centre which is perfect and also quiet. The beds have a blanket and a sheet and are comfortable.

Miinukset: The included breakfast is Basic but you can get 50% off your bill if you book breakfast and go for the full menu - which is excellent! Pancakes are delicious!

Plussat: Not a big deal, but our room was facing the corridor instead of patio, so no sunlight. But you don't want to spend time inside anyway having so mamy great outdoor options here

Miinukset: Nice place, just a few blocks away from the main square but much more quiet. Comfy and clean room, good breakfast and drinks selection in the beta restaurant. Helpful staff.

Plussat: It was pretty with a nice outside area, including hammocks. Breakfast was decent.

Miinukset: There was only one bathroom with a shower close to our dorm (where 8 people slept).

Plussat: The location: it’s close to the center but not too close. Staff is really nice. Everything gets cleaned at least once a day. They make up your bed every day. Good laundry service! 6000 per kg, ready the same day and it smelled really nice. It’s not a party hostel (which I liked)

Miinukset: Some construction going on so there can be a lot of noise but it was okay. Would stay here again.

Plussat: Perfect hostel doe chill people

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very nice and silent place to stay with a great mountain view.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The view!

Miinukset: The bike rental prices were high and it would have been nice to know the route to the Coffee farm was super heavy.

Plussat: Nice location 5 min walk away from the main square; tasty breakfast and helpful, friendly staff. Rooftop terrace was lovely for breakfast.

Miinukset: Construction was very noisy; small ants in the room. Quite hot in the room during the day- recommend to provide fans; Deluxe room not good value .

Plussat: Quiet area very clean and tidy, great staff fab rooms Definitely recommend 5 stars

Plussat: Super friendly staff who helped us with our activities. Great view from most rooms and rooftop terrace, where breakfast is served. We enjoyed the location some 5minutes by foot from the town square, as this allowed us to quickly walk to ie. restaurants, and shielded us from the party noice in the center.

Miinukset: noice from ongoing construction, rooms are on the small side and have few options to put your luggage. Breakfast is good, but has limited options.

Plussat: Very good place to stay.. would love to come back for the value is pretty awesome and the staff are super nice!

Plussat: Waking up in the mountains was incredible :) The hostel serves a good breakfast and the staff is amazing - huge thanks to all of them for making the experience so much better, especially Carlos and Julian!

Plussat: Great location with great view. Friendly staff, great place to socialize with other travellers, good vibes. they organize some activities in the hostal. I have made friends while staying here. The room is clean and basic. Shower is very hot.

Miinukset: The breakfast can be improved further comparing to other hostels I stayed

Plussat: Very good location with beautiful garden and valley views, friendly people, nice breakfast, good facilities and options (with yoga, salsa and language lessons), good comfy bed, very clean (every day).

Miinukset: No window to be opened and private room on street side and close to communal kitchen so sometimes but noisy.

Plussat: Lots of space in rooms and private bathroom! Also really fun vibe and many free classes (salsa, yoga, etc. )

Plussat: This is a place where you meet a lot of interesting backpackers. Everyone is friends after just a few hours... The breakfast (extra cost for people in dorms) was good with a variety to choose from. And the view in the garden is great!

Miinukset: The price for a dorm bed is way too high for what you get. The garden is beautiful, but there are only a few wooden chairs, nothing to relax on. When we used the sitting bags from the tv area in the garden, the staff came and took them away immediately... Unfortunately, they increased the price after my 4th night and a lot of people left and went to cheaper hostels... Almost 70'000 pesos for a dorm bed of that standard and not even including breakfast is just too much for Colombia.

Plussat: Nice location, nice atmosphere.

Miinukset: Showers are not hot at all. We complained, nothing was done. Rooms are cold and humid. For a climate like Salento (often rainy), rooms must be more comfortable and showers should DEFINATELY by hot.

Plussat: Social activities, the scenery, the information available in the reception and the courtyard is lovely.

Miinukset: The place didn't meet our expectations, after having read brilliant stuff ratings we expected a lovely stay. The beds were very soft, and sixnr our room was next to the street you could hear everything, including the horses walking down it.. Additionally, the showers have OK pressure but don't get very hot. Finally, maybe a small detail but big for coffee fans, the breakfast coffee probably can't be considered coffee... If you decide to visit, prepare your own..

Plussat: Spacious rooms, amazing garden and views. Very helpful front desk at all times! Always would come back!

Plussat: Nice small hotel outside of the bustle of the town, yet close enough to easily walk back and forth. Glorious view over the town and the surrounding countryside. You can watch and listen to the birds from the terrace.

Miinukset: When we visited there were no English-speaking staff.

Plussat: They had the reservation wrong and almost got turned away at 9pm at night

Plussat: Wonderful location with exceptional view at Salento. Homely atmosphere and very helpful hosts

Plussat: Location was beautiful, overlooking Salento from near the viewpoint. Bed was cozy, room was comfortable, staff were friendly and helped arrange laundry.

Miinukset: Shower for hot water was only a dribble, but that was our only complaint.

Plussat: The staff here were amazing. My husband and I came from the Amazon and needed all of our cloths washed. Nellie and Jose took such great care of us and Paola (the owners daughter) communicated with us prior to arrival and helped us arrange a trek in Los Nevedas park. And the view from the place is AMAZING.

Plussat: The place is beautiful with a great view of the town, the room was clean, the staff was friendly,

Miinukset: Week internet connection in the room but works on the main areas of the finca

Plussat: Excellent location with beautiful view, not far from the center but in quiet and safe area. Owner Paola is very friendly, helpful and hospitable, speaks good English and serves excellent and healthy breakfasts.

Plussat: English speaking staff! Good Location!

Plussat: Great patio and original Salento style. Breakfast simple but good, with lots of fruit.

Miinukset: We rented room which specifically said it had a balcony, but it actually wasnt permitted to enter balcony. So better advertise it as without balcony. Also it was quite a busy and noisy street, but on other hand right in center and at night quited down.

Plussat: The hostel offers all commodities you require, with a lovely common area. Clean and tidy However we were unlucky in our 2 nights stay. Our room was a bit noisy (intersection just next to the window), the shower did not bring enough water (fixed in the meanwhile), the energy was cut during a night/morning (caused by heavy rain) and last the toilet did not flush (fixed too). Things happen and they were always very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: A bit noisy.

Plussat: Staff was wonderful! So nice and helpful with everything! They speak English very well. The room was a great size and had hot water! WiFi worked well. location is great very close to everything

Miinukset: It was pretty noisy at night but there was a festival going on so maybe normally it’s not as noisy.

Plussat: Fantastic, helpful and attentive staff. Beautiful, clean and comfortable rooms. Great location and common space, free coffee all day and a lovely breakfast for a small cost. Definitely recommend visiting Salento and when you do, recommend staying here.

Plussat: Locación an the crew is amazing. Very clean and the breakfast is tremendous

Miinukset: Nada

Plussat: We loved this hostel- the location, the beautiful murals of flowers in every room and the very friendly staff. Big shoutout to Brian. It is on a main road and therefore you can hear the sounds of the street at night but take ear plugs and you’ll have no trouble sleeping. We also loved the dog Vaca- so gentle and friendly.

Miinukset: A little shelf in the bathroom and a place to hang towels in the room would be helpful.

Plussat: The locación is super. Hostel with really Nice And friendly crew. They speak good English.

Miinukset: None y nada

Plussat: We had a brilliant stay! Beautiful old house, very helpful and friendly staff, the atmosphere was very comfortable and made us feel at home. Thanks for all the help!

Plussat: Very stylish, clean hotel

Miinukset: There was not hot water in the evening but when we asked kitchen staff for a jug of hot water, they quickly resolved our problem and by the time we arrived in our room the hot water was working.

Plussat: Pretty and clean hotel; friendly, helpful staff, great restaurant, nice rooms

Plussat: Very quiet and clean.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: There is a good restaurant

Miinukset: The room and bed are very basic. To basic.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, very helpful personal, possibility to store luggage

Plussat: Amazing location, beautiful view, superb breakfast!

Miinukset: Only thing I’d say is get some blackout curtains to block out the sun as it does rise quite early.

Plussat: Very centrally located property in Salento, yet quiet neighborhood . Friendly staff and very traditional hotel style. They’ve parking slot if needed as well. Recommended

Miinukset: There was no warm water in our shower

Plussat: Nothing, the girl at the front desk is not helpful at all, she doesn’t have any training in customer service, the place is really expensive compared with other hotels in the city. It chargers you almost as if it was a 4 star hotel. I don’t recommend at all.

Miinukset: The hotel is really expensive and the price is not reflected in the things that it offers. It’s almost an hostel with a little place that serves breakfast. It has plumbing problems. Our room smells terrible because of that and the girl at the front desk refuse to chance our room, she simply tell us: let the door open so the smell could go away. Other room get flooded because the sink was broken. A couple were complaining because they don’t have hot water at their room. Again the girl at the front desk did’n care and the lady had a cold and has to showered with ice cold water. On top of everything the view is not at it appeared in the pictures, you see the ceilings and backyard of other houses.

Plussat: Location is great and right around the corner from the best coffee shop. Rooms are basic but it’s what you expect for the price which is good value for money. Good option for Salento

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location and the setting on the edge of town is excellent. It obvious the owners have done a lot of work, the decor of the property is very pretty and the breakfast area is lovely. The reception staff and the two ladies looking after breakfast are very nice. There is a good choice for breakfast, cereal, cooked omelettes, fruit, pastries, bread/toast, eggs, yogurt and juices. In a town where parking can be difficult is nice to be able to park at the hotel.

Miinukset: Our original room had a water leak so we were moved to a much larger room. Although it looked like it has just be refurbished with a super king and a single bed plus a sofa it lacked any furniture. Nowhere to hang clothes, no bedside cabinets and no TV which wasn’t a problem for us. The biggest problem and it’s the same for another couple in a different room is the hot water. When you get hot water through it lasted less than a minute if you are lucky! Other times you cannot get any water through...this is the biggest problem that has to be resolved.

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: Great location with lovely views. It’s been decorated to a good standard and you get a good homely feeling when you walk inside. The staff are super nice and the breakfast is good. Perfect spot for a few days in Salento.

Miinukset: There isn’t any black out curtains so if you want darkness it isn’t going to happen, it’s very bright. The bathroom is very small and could be modernised a little.

Plussat: Colorful architecture, wonderful views, convenient location.

Miinukset: Running out of hot water.

Plussat: This is a very beautiful and sparkling new hotel with a very nice garden. The staff speaks very good English. In addition, very good breakfast was included.

Miinukset: It was a bit noisy, because the room was not really soundproofed.

Plussat: Very kind English speaking personnel

Miinukset: Extremly loud all the time! At night there is a discoteque just above your head. When it stops late at night all possible animals (including number of roosters and a parrot) start to provide the music

Plussat: Great location.

Miinukset: Our bed was not comfortable and there was only one toilet shared between 8 guests.

Plussat: Location was good.

Miinukset: Stay was not as expected. Tents were uncomfortable and full of bugs, little mats and thin blankets. Also expensive, but probably due to high season.

Plussat: The staff were so friendly, funny and helpful. The king bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was a really good size and beautiful garden area to relax in.

Miinukset: The noise on a Saturday night was crazy. The rooms have gaps in the door frame and window frames so you can hear everything that’s going on in the courtyard area, as well as noise coming through the ceiling from the upstairs rooms (even if someone is just talking at normal volume). Other guests had loud music going most of the night and even after we finally fell asleep during that, we were woken at 2am from people arguing for a long time outside. Not the best place for a good peaceful sleep.

Plussat: The personel is very nice. More than once did we end up chatting about Salento or our previous/next destination. Breakfast was freshly made and very good. Garden is very nice to chill and have breakfast or read a book.

Miinukset: There was a bit of an odor coming from the bed. Not unhygienic, just old and maybe a bit 'moisty' or old sweaty (sheets were clean!). Is was quite cold in the room since the door and windows had a lot of cracks and holes around them. Soundwise and temperaturewise you 'sleep outside'. Keep that in mind.

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and helpful! Very comfortable with complimentary tea!

Plussat: Nice location

Miinukset: Very basic breakfast - scrambled eggs, 2 toasts and one panacote

Plussat: Location, but when you get to salento you realise that all the hostels are in good location

Miinukset: The hostel is in a low conditions. There is alot of noise, the doors doesnt locked, and t.v does not work. Its old place, very smelli. The team in the hostel doesn't know english so its pretty hard to make conversation about money. And also not helpful. Its cost alot for what they give you there. Bad experience from this hostel. There are alot of good hostels on the same price- choose right.

Plussat: Good value for the price

Miinukset: Very small room

Miinukset: The personell was not there the first time i arrived, i had to leave and come back to find people in the counter. Also, the courtains in my room were not good, all the sun came in and it did not let me sleep.

Plussat: It was clean and confortable

Plussat: The staff were lovely and very helpful. The views from the rooftop were gorgeous. The hotel is the in the perfect location, a one minute walk to the center.
