Very Good

I think we got unlucky with this place because everyone writes good comments. The property truly is amazing, the food they serve is delicious. We’ve been put in a dormitory while we were supposed to have a couple room. Our room couldn’t be locked and was not fully closed so it ended up being really cold at night. They gave us blankets but smelling humidity pretty bad. And the cherry on top of the cake was the owner getting a massage in our room in the middle of the afternoon without warning us

This place is just great! My friend and I have stayed here and had the best time. The owners are just so friendly and it is just so chill. We sat with the other guests and the owner Ed outside every evening, drinking beers and just chatting. Yes, the hostel is outside Salento, but the buses are frequent and very inexpensive. The location is beautiful at a river in the middle of nature and allows you to go on awesome hikes in nature (e.g., to the coffee farms).
