I had a very pleasant stay at Viajero Salento. The location is beautiful and very easy to get to the center plaza with a 5 min walk. I stayed in an 6 bed female dorm at first, but it was hard to get time in the bathroom as the shower and toilet were joined. When I started to get sick, Maya was super friendly and helped me upgrade to a private room. She checked on me the rest of my stay and made sure I was doing okay. Loved all of the staff at Viajero Salento, they are amazing!

Lovely chilled vibe while still being social. Found the rooms quite dated compared to other Viajeros and the kitchen could use some updates. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay here and the staff were lovely.
