At the hostel, all rooms are equipped with a wardrobe. The rooms are fitted with a private bathroom and a shower, and some units at Casa Salento have a safety deposit box. All rooms at the accommodation are fitted with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

The location was close to everything yet not directly in the main square area so there was less noise! The staff were incredibly helpful, giving us a full debrief on the area, answering all of our questions and providing us with free waterproof clothing for hiking. The hotel itself is lovely and the room we had was our favourite so far in Colombia. We had the whole top floor to ourselves and the room was impeccably clean and traditionally decorated with everything we needed. There was also free water, coffee and tea all day which is a lovely touch.

Set in Salento, 49 km from Ukumari Zoo, Reserva Guadalajara - Cocora Valley offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. This 5-star hostel offers a bar. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a concierge service.

True luxury: classic country residence turned into a boutique hotel in the midst of a 300 hectares farm and nature preserve. Spectacular views on the terrace and the rooms, outside commercial touristic noise of Salento. Genuine quality service: hiking, horse back riding, coffee tours, transport all arranged and delivered while you enjoy the terrace. Didn't even feel the need to go to Salento for dinner. A cook on staff is able to prepare all the meals after a day in nature. A movie like gem

Hostal Rio Arabia - Valle De Cocora HOTELis located in the beautidul Cocora Valley in Salento where you can enjoy valley walks by the Andean Mountains and immerse in Quindian culture. Free WiFi access is available.

I felt really welcomed by the owners and staff. It's a great place for those who enjoy the nature and tranquility. We booked one of the smaller rooms, but it was beautiful, clean and well-maintained. We were greeted with a cup of delicious coffee and bowl of fresh fruits, the owner showed us their spacious garden, bunnies and birds, it's a good place to relax and connect with nature. There's a small restaurant just steps away and it's a perfect spot if you want to get away from the crowded town of Salento.

Same applies for Helena which happens to clean my dorm - her warm and welcoming personality really made my day and my stay at Viajero Salento very special - Muchas gracias, nos vemos!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Really comfortable hostel in a great location, a short walk from the centre of Salento. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and have everything you need (lockers, curtains, lamps, plug sockets). The common spaces are also really nice and there's always somewhere to just chill out. It was easy to meet people here thanks to the activities, but also easy to get a good sleep as there's no loud music/bar - a perfect balance!

    This is best hostel I’ve stayed in for the money so far. The hosts were exceptional. Answered any questions we had, gave us nice bracelets on arrival, and replaced my charging cable that I lost (which was my fault not there’s). The beds have nice curtains and are comfortable. The location is great, just off of the square. And everyone was super friendly. Great backpackers hostel.
