    A fonctional hotel that I would recommend in Salento for those who look for simplicity. Close to the city center with a 10min walk, far away enough to be calm. Jose is such a nice host. We slept like babies

    Everything was amazing!

    The place is fantastic, a hidden gem. José, the owner, is a wonderful person; he made us breakfast, which was delicious. He produces his own coffee, and it’s absolutely amazing. Brayan, one of the staff members, helped us with our luggage and guided us to the property. The hotel is not luxurious, it offers just the essentials: a comfortable bed, a shower, Wi-Fi, and a spectacular view. It’s peaceful, and all you hear are the sounds of nature. To reach the hotel, you need to walk about 400 meters on a cobblestone path. It might not be ideal for elderly guests or for those who dislike walking. Without a doubt, I’ll stay here again the next time I visit Salento. The place is so pleasant that the plan could simply be to stay there all day, sipping coffee and chatting with José. Please support local people. Many foreigners and companies have bought properties, displacing the locals—José is one of the few remaining, and he’s absolutely worth supporting!

    Access to the property from town is a pain in the ass

    Cut off from the rest of town, brisk 15 minute hike with steep uphill, downhill walk. Gets messy during rain. If you have luggage and don't want to walk, do not book this hotel. Good basic breakfast. The room view is stunning. Lot of bird watching and very peaceful.

    It was lovely as it was away from the town but a steep climb to get to town and no facilities. We had to go to town to buy water snacks drinks etc.

    Fabulous location. Friendly and helpful owner. Clean and comfortable and spacious room.

    Wasn’t aware we had to pay in cash and beds were a little hard for our liking too.

    Beautifully quiet and peaceful location. Best shower! Breakfast of eggs and toast with fruit, hot drinks and juice was included in the price too. Our bags were dropped off in town to save us walking up with them.

    Probably that you have to walk down to it via dark road (short walk though). You might encounter dogs along the way. Might feel uncomfortable.

    Loved that it was like 10 minutes away from the town itself. So it was quiet and peaceful. The view was gorgeous too.

    For me it was no issue, but you really have to be aware that the location is not only a 10-15 minute walk out of town but also quite streep downhill coming from and uphill going to town. If you have suitcases you need to check with the owner if the motorbike is available to bring it down and up again. Also if you travel alone and you do not like being alone in a remote location, this is not for you. Part of the road is also not lit at night, but very safe!

    This is the most beautiful location I stayed so far in Colombia. Just outside of time right in the middle of nature. Absolutely gorgeous and incredibly quiet. Only the sounds of nature. The room I had was big with a huge balcony, good shower and the normal breakfast. All the people I met working there were super friendly!

    The property is just insanely beautiful! The view and the sunset are breathtaking. The rooms are very spacious and have their own very large balcony with a wonderful view. We had the best shower in Colombia here. And there is also a super equipped kitchen. And last but not least the host José is super nice and helpful! We definitly recommend this place!

    The hotel is located on a protected dirt/rock walking path that cars are not allowed on. In distance, it is a short walk (maybe.25 miles?). However, the walk is very steep (downhill to the hotel and uphill into Salento). Without packs or suitcases it's about an 8 minute strenuous walk into town. With packs, it is a REALLY good workout! But it's doable. I wouldn't recommend doing this walk with suitcases. Jose is very good about communication about the path so you know where you are going. If you don't mind a good leg workout every time you want to go into town, then this place is worth it! Also, the path is very safe to walk at night if need be.

    The location is absolutely beautiful. It is very quiet (except for the noises of nature) and peaceful. The place was clean, breakfast was simple but good (the coffee was fantastic) and the owner Jose is very kind and helpful. Salento isn't that big of a town but it is still busy, and staying a little further out of town was nice.

    The hotel is accessed by a historical road that is closed to traffic. We enjoyed the short hike (5 mins, inclined) but is should be noted before booking.

    This property was just outside of the city, with a gorgeous view of the surroundings. The apartment was clean and spacious, and our host was very kind and attentive. The breakfast was good too!
