it was good, however it says breakfast is included and they mean only fruit and yogurt. the pool was dirty and the cushions for the sun chairs were old and dirty. the whole hostel was very loud, i would not recommend this hostel for people who want to sleep before midnight.

This hostel is awesome comfy beds beautiful backyard with massive pool and nice chill area. It really is a great hostel. You can also order nice food there. My only problem is Mosquitos were really bad in my room and I was bitten badly so take repellent!! And some of the staff don't speak English. But other than that this is a great place to stay.

This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. The place itself is absolutely gorgeous. It is an old hacienda with great hangout areas both inside and outside with a beautiful garden, a pool and an outdoor bar. The rooms are really nice and the beds very comfy. There is also good food available. This is a fantastic place to relax and meet people and very hard to actually leave.

A great place for a relaxing time in Cali. A bit far from the center, but worth it for the calmness and tranquility.

The hostal has an attractive garden with fruit trees and a swimming pool. It is very peaceful and a very nice place to hang out all day. I was "upgraded" to a big private en suite bedroom. However, there was no hot water. The shower wasnt just tepid, it was freezing for all the time I was there (4days). There is a very comfortable open plan lounge but the T.V and music is left on all night and so it is sometimes difficlt to sleep. The staff are helpful and friendly.

If you want to relax for a few days this hostel is great. It's up on a hill in a quiet residencial area. A big house with nice garden and swimming pool. The kitchen is good and you can order quite a selection of meals too. The staff weren't very good with information about how to get to places in Cali or what to do. A free map of the area would have been a great help. Took me quite a while to figure out where I was in Cali. It's quite a walk to the old part of Cali (took me about 25 mins).

My brother and I spent two nights at La Pinta Boogaloo and we loved it! We were incredibly lucky to be there for New Years Eve and we had a blast! We joined in on typical Colombian NYE's traditions with the staff and other guests and enjoyed a delicious meal (and of course, threw back way too many shots of aguardiente!). The hostel itself is beautiful. I definitely recommend this place!

We booked a double room for three nights during the salsa festival. We were aware that being the busiest time of the year in Cali we would pay over the odds prices for our room and were happy to do so. However, upon our arrival, we discovered our room was a small, dirty, musty smelling room off the villas garage. We asked to be moved to a different room which they initially agreed to, and later reneged upon. They agreed to give us a discount for the room.

Ive stayed at this hostel twice now and i will definately be going back. Its a gorgeous house with loads of character. Its got huge spaces for your different moods, and the staff are incredibly welcoming and happy to show you places to go out and things to do around cali. The rooms are comfortable and kept clean and theres great food available all day. I fell in love with the place and i feel totally at home there by far my favourite hostel ive stayed in.

Great vibe, super relaxed and friendly. It's a quick taxi ride away from all of the downtown Cali craziness. For me, it felt like I was on a relaxing mountainside retreat. The pool was always clean and a perfect way to cool down. The owners and staff were amazing at recommending and taking the huespeds to fun local spots.

One of the best things when you are travelling and booking "randomly" a hostel is arriving to a hostel like La Pinta Boogaloo. Peaceful, with a nice pool, with space, amazing staff (and when I say amazing it's because they were amazing) and when there was "party" going on, you could join it and have a great time or go to your room a have your quiet time and sleep. Respectful and fair this is probably one of the very best hostels you could stay in Cali.
