This was my second stay at this hostel—my first was almost 9 years ago! It’s a super social place without being a full on party place and the location is great too. The room and bed is really comfortable, and the whole place is spotless. The staff are always friendly and helpful, just like last time. Plus, the beers are cheap, which is always a bonus!

All good, really. I enjoyed everything.

Well located in Poblado, a smart end of town. The metro is in easy walking distance as are a couple of nice little restaurants and supermarkets close by..The South Bus Station is a short taxi ride away. The neighbourhood is safe and leafy green. The staff are friendly and helpful with advice on where to go and what to do. There are different common areas to meet fellow travelers or to sit quietly and relax. There's a good kitchen if you want to cook. I ended up staying here much longer than planned. It's great.

Only 1 small fan in the room so bedroom was pretty warm at night

Staff were super lovely, kitchen was decent (although some of the hob rings didn’t work very well!), location felt very safe and there were lots of different areas to chill out in. Beds were comfy and room I was in (6 bed dorm) was a decent size with lots of lockers and a nice bathroom. Hostel was very social but felt like there were areas I could hide away in if I felt like I didn’t want to socialise.

No curtains for the bunk beds.

A very social hostel with a nice kitchen, located in a safe area not too far from supermarkets and restaurants. Receptionists were awesome and very friendly!! Easily one of the best hostels I stayed at during my 9 week trip through Colombia :)

The location is a bit far from bars and restaurants, there are a couple nearby but not much choice

The vibe in the hostal, the bed and rooms were comfortable and bathrooms clean. The showers very big.

It's a well located and very decent hostel option in Medellin. Staff were very kind and helpful in the main. Very sociable and close to metro and some good food/drink options.

The hostel is amazing! The staff is very friendly and the rooms are nice and clean. If you are looking for a sociable experience while travelling, this is the place in Medellìn

There’s not much NOT to like. I had none complains.

The property is clean, in a great location. The Metro is a short walk. Parque Lleras is a short walk away.

The room is very basic with a desk, chair and armchair. It does not have a closet or hangers. The only light is very dark, and there is not a full mirror. I had to use the shared bathrooms to apply a bit of makeup as it was too dark to see in the evening.

The hostel is located 10 min walk to restaurants and supermarkets and 15 walk from the metro station. As a solo traveler in my 40s I really appreciate the room in 3rd floor, as I could go down to socialize when I wish. The common kitchen is well equipped and clean. The hostel offered regular different tours. I recommend the Guatape and walking tour. The hostel is a bit of a party hostel in the sense that people will be chatting and drinking in the front garden and in the terrace upstairs but is not in your face and everyone is out by 11. I end up extending my staying by 3 extra days.

Nothing to report

Our room in Black Sheep was so nice (and I don’t believe the photos on Booking.com do it justice). The facilities were perfect and the staff were super lovely. A great stay.

Location is on quieter side of El Poblado - not a bad thing depending on what you like!

Clean, quiet, comfortable

Dorm beds slightly basic but it’s still great value for money. No breakfast - part of the deal but worth being aware of.

Really nice place, great location in a quiet area of El Poblado, friendly social vibe and a nice size (not too big or too small). Friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee and cheap beers! Good facilities.

It is noisy since it is kind of a party hostel

Really kind staff, clean and good location.

We had a really good time at the Black Sheep Hostel. The neighborhood is quite and safe and you can easily walk to the center of El Poblado and the metro, the rooms are clean and quite. The staff is super friendly, they answer all your questions and give you nice recommendations. We could even store our luggage for five days while we flew to the pacific coast. So from our experience, we can say it’s a 10/10

The place is popular (for a good reason) and it’s getting crowdy when it’s crowded. The price follows the popularity.

Nice, clean, super comfortable, friendly and helpful staff. Quite close to metro and located in quite neighbourhood.

It was hard to ventilate the room.

Really good location with all important facilities nearby - shop, restaurants, fiesta zone, metro station… Great and experienced staff which explains everything in detail.

Stayed in July 2024

Really chilled hostel in a quiet part of El Poblado. Private room was comfortable and everything worked well. Social areas were social and there are daily tours but no night events organised by the hostel. The hostel is a 5 minute uber from the party area and a 10 minute walk to the metro station. I was able to get a really a good night's sleep but the walls are a bit thin if you have noisy neighbours in the private rooms.
