We had a fantastic stay here. The bed was really comfortable, hot shower and they cleaned the room each day. The staff were the friendliest we’ve come across. We wanted to go rafting but my girlfriend didn’t have the right clothes and Silvia kindly lent hers! Also got to play five a side football with the local team which was great fun and they arrange fun activities each day. Highly recommend 🙌🏻

Awesome stay - felt like being part of a cute colombian family, it attracts the right kind of backpackers and is a wholesome social hostel. Dorms are so pretty!
