10/10 Exceptional

All of the staff at Viajero were incredibly kind and helpful. Their ability to speak fluent English made everything so easy. The property offered good food and drink, and also some great activities. They offered great knowledge of the area and made us feel right at home. Thank you for your hospitality, we will definitely come back to stay again next time we are in Salento.

Ok hostel for a few days

Hostel is a bit if a walk from bus station if you have heavy suitcases/backpacks, and up an incline. Hostel itself is ok, although can be cheaper for what is offered. No free coffee/tea or towels. Bathrooms are often dirty. It is ok for a few days.

Amazing staff and comfortable rooms

I had a wonderful two-night stay at Viajero Salento Hostel in July 2021. The property is lovely and located less than a 10-minute walk from Salento's central square. My private room was lovely with a comfortable bed and a patio with an incredible view of the beautiful landscape. The real showstopper, though was the staff. They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and cared for, from check-in to check-out. Just one example of the staff's great service: they prepared my breakfast at seven on my check-out day even though breakfast usually doesn't start until eight. I'd highly recommend staying here.

Overall good with a nice garden. In the evening until late night often too noisy.

Thank you!

Unfortunately my passport was stolen on the bus from Armenia to Salento, but the staff were extremely helpful to assist me with getting it back. They worked all day to help translate and arrange pickup and delivery of the stolen passport from the thief who wanted money in return. The hostel has a great vibe, a beautiful view, good breakfast, and warm showers! Highly recommend!

4/10 Fair

Ik raad niemand dit hostel aan! Wij hadden een privekamer incl. eigen badkamer. Het bed was zo door gelegen dat je in een kuil lag en je ook op geen andere manier een houding kon aannemen. Daarnaast was er zo veel geluidsoverlast vanuit buiten dat je het idee had dat brommers/paarden/mensen in je eigen kamer stonden. De ruimte was verder klam, geen raam wat open kan. Al met al vreselijk echt geen aanrader!
Melissa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, relaxing stay in a well run hostel. The hostel is of the older type found in Colombia rather the newer, more boutique style offerings found in some of the cities. This hostel is in an excellent condition, just off the main square in Salento where all the restaurants and transport options (Willies!) are to be found. The hostel is on the side of a hill so nice views over the surrounding areas. Nice, relaxed vibe throughout and a good bar on site. Reception staff were helpful and organised a coffee tour shortly after we arrived. Breakfast rather poor and lack of truly warm showers were only downside.
