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.

All rooms are fitted with a private bathroom with a shower, while some rooms also offer a balcony and others also have city views. At Hospedaje Vista Hermosa Salento all rooms are equipped with bed linen and towels.

We had a wonderful time at Hospedaje Vista Hermosa in salento! The staff is very friendly and for breakfast you have a choice between eggs with tortilla, cereal with fruit or sandwiches. If you need your room cleaned, you can let them know during breakfast and it will be done for you. We booked the room with an outside window with a mountain view and it was a spectacular view to wake up to! The position of the hotel is slightly "out of town", so it's nice and quiet, but it is still only a 5 minute walk to the main square. Unusual to find: you have two sets of pillows each, one feather pillow and one foam pillow which was great to select from!

    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!

    I highly recommend this hostel! The staff are so friendly and helpful, they serve a cheap breakfast each morning and you can arrange excursions from reception. It’s a short walk from the main square and transport. It’s also a great place to meet other travellers too with a great community vibe, this isn’t a party hostel at all. I recommend bringing earplugs, the doors are super heavy and you can hear them slam.

    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.
