    Music was extremely high and went on till late at night. Also, you have to watch out for bugs; there are tons of them there.

    The views were beautiful, the staff was helpful, and the food was great.

    Great place, a little bit noisy as they play music until late hours at night, if you are looking for a place to rest or meditate over the weekends, this may not be a place for you. They also got a lot of orphan dogs begging for food into their restaurants, that may be something unpleasant if you don't like having animals asking for food while you are eating.

    Good attention from staff, great place and amazing view. Canopy experience is great, delicious food. Most of stuff is very kind. Rooms are very nice and the bird watching is amazing. A little bit far and the road is not in that great shape, better to visit in a 4x4 and not in motorcycle as we did as it can be a little bit scary.

    No mosquito nets (whilst there were not loads, I personally got really bitten!) Not a complaint as the location was fantastic, but consider that it costs around 70,000COP in transport there and back to the hostel.

    Amazing location high in the mountains, an incredible places to watch the sunset. Breakfast was great and there were lots of options. Despite being cut off from the town, the bar and restaurant were reasonably priced (around 30,000COP for a main) Staff were really friendly.

    the dorm in the 2nd place a bit further down was a bit dirty and there was not a lot of travelers around, the music and the led lights were on everyday for a very long time, so not ideal to sleep outside

    the view is incredible, food is higher standard

    The road to the hotel has many cracks and is very long from the town, which being in the middle of nature is understandable.

    The hostel has a wonderful view, they have good organization and logistics. The Customer service helps you if you need, give you advice about what to do there or in the village.

    The music at the bar is blasted so so loud all morning, afternoon and evening. It really disrupts and takes away the beautiful peaceful nature.

    Best view in Minca - worth the trip up to the top! Beautiful sunsets and a lovely area

    The location is very beautiful but extremely remore, its almost 1 hour by mogorcycl or jeep 4x4 from city of Minca, and the unpaved road is quite challenging, the charge is a lot 30k by moto and 120k by jeep whivh can take 4 persons. The little bungalow houses are very nice placed, the views are amazing. There are 2 parts of this hostel and I do not know how they decide to allocate the rooms/ bungalow, but i was put in Sede2 , unfortunately only in my last day i went to Sede 1 which is definately nicer , the pool is nicer with better views an nice places to take pictures. The food is very limited and just ok-ish if you are picky then thia is hoimg to be a problem. Breakfast included is basic either eggs with toast or arepa and either cereal with fruits or granola with yoghurt. They give coffee and fresh juice also, my first day i was not offeres juice i did not even know . For lunch and dinner you have to inform them ahead usually is 3 choices but the food quality is low., don't expect a lot and is not cheap at all. 30k for a meal ehich means you will be spending another 100k COp at least per day for food and drinks. The rooms have a fan which is ok, but yet is not extremely hot there so is ok. They sell very very expensive water is 3k COP 500ml which means 2L per day will be 3 usd . All in all is a nice place to enjoy nature and beautiful views and snap your insta stories. Other than that, the whole place, on both sides play extremely loud music from 8am till after 11 pm sometimes which is annoying, defeats the whole purpose of enjoying the nature and chill. Bare in mimd, this IS NOT A CHILL PLACE, IS NICE BUT YOU WILL HEAR BLAATING MUSIC FROM EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING THE WORKERS ON SITE PLAY THEIR OWN ON SPEAKERS, AT SOME POINT I WAS TRYING YO RELAX IN A HAMMOCK AND THERE IS MUSIC FROM 3 PLACES D'OH!!! Staff is ok, not wow but you can live with it. The most importand, there is NO HOT WATER , SO FORGWT ABOUT WASHING YOUR HAIR FOR THE ENTIRE STAY IN MINCA...

    Our shower was not great, we didn’t really have a shower head but more some sort of little pipe where very cold water came out

    Absolutely beautiful, we stayed in a two person bungalow with our own little net to hang in, absolutely stunning! Breakfast is great, dinner can be on the simpler side, and the staff is very nice

    No bin in the rooms. Shared bathroom situation was not the best would defo only book rooms with a private bathroom in future. Meals very international style no option for Colombian or healthier options and coffees are very small 😂 The lmusic does go all day and into the night so you don’t really get to take in just peace and serenity of the surroundings

    We loved the location so high up in the mountains, it was very picturesque. Amazing views Loved the glamping pods. Most staff were extremely helpful and friendly- particularly andres at the bar and the lady at checkin (unsure of her name) Breakfast and meals were huge Fans in rooms were strong Easy to organize transport to and from the hostel via motos or shared jeeps although it should be noted this will take time as roads are not really roads loved the huge hammocks!

    Water was not given for free, and was very expensive to buy. Loud music constantly playing till late at night, which in my opinion ruins the point of visiting a beautiful place like this in nature. The receptionist was a bit rude too while checking us in, as he threatened to sanction us if we bring our own snacks or drinks again. I understand there is a policy, but there is way how to say this to your clients. This was very unprofessional from your end, and you guys know who I'm referring to!!

    The views are spectacular. Cute huts with your own net patio. I also liked that every room had it it's own entrance. Breakfast was good too.

    How far and expensive it is to get up there. It was really good but we only booked one night, had I of known how far it was away I would have booked more.. seemed a bit pointless for one night.

    Cool place, rooms were nice and it had amazing view when not cloudy. Food was good.
