Amazing hostel, great breakfast with fruit and choice of pancakes, arepa, or French toast. Super helpful owners with great english. Went out of their way to help us find great deals camping and backpacking. Amazing view. Would definitely recommend

Very nice hostel! They were flexible with our date changes. Great travel recommendations and delicious breakfast before your hike. Also not far from the center.

Overpriced and overrated with disgraceful service. We were placed in a damp room with a terrible smell, rock hard beds and wet sheets. The room is hidden from online bookings probably so people cannot leave a true review of it, and the truth is it's not fit to be sold to guests, especially at the extortionate price with this in consideration. The staff had zero care or respect for this, blasting techno music during the day, while the boss Alex was completely remorseless and offered nothing appropriate by way of an apology. The other rooms themselves are far overpriced for what they offer, as is the breakfast. The laundry service is completely ineffective, returning my clothes dirty. I doubt any soap was used. Overall the hostel simply takes advantage of the location it has, ripping off guests and offering an unacceptable service all round. Don't be fooled by the images.

Excellent experience here, staff were helpful and friendly. Amazing views from common space. I stayed in a 4 bunk room. Bathrooms were clean, showers were hot. Loved the coffee/tea available. Would recommend bringing ear plugs as the roosters were very loud very early in the morning.

Pros: Good location, very nice landscaping, and breakfast was tasty. Cons: no wardrobe or closet space, no facial tissues and no complimentary water provided in the room. One of the staff was extremely rude to me when I unintentionally thought the staff laundry area was available for guest use because of proximity to other guest facilities and lack of obvious signage. I had no problem paying for doing laundry or skipping it altogether but I was treated rudely and charged for it anyway, even though it was only half done.

I stayed two nights and I highly recommend this place, it is very clean, organized and the best thing is the staff. They offer breakfast option and the atmosphere is ideal whether you are travelling alone or with friends. The only thing that could be improved is the wifi signal, it is not the best.

Had a great experience at the coffee tree boutique hostel. The staff is amazing and will do anything to make your stay as nice as possible. Beds were comfy, shower was good and the views were nice. Also the birds and plants are awesome :)

Absolutely amazing hostel - I felt so at home with the wonderful staff and the cozy lodge feeling. Stay here as long as you can! The staff are warm and so helpful, really ensuring you can have the best possible stay. There are warm blankets, freshly made banana and carrot cake everyday and just a wonderful, warm atmosphere. I instantly regretted leaving and wished I stayed longer. Don’t miss it!

Good hostel! Has nice options for breakfast is you like to get it at the hostel. Staff is really good and likes to help the guests. They also speak English well. Only downside that I could find is that it needs to be quiet at 10pm, but Salento isn’t a party place anyways.

Amazing place to stay in Salento. Beautiful lodge at end of street with yard, fire/hammock area, chef, and super attentive staff who helps you plan your adventures. I’d recommend 4 dorm instead of 8 for more comfort and better sleep

Amazing hostel with great staff who really treat the guests so well. Jan was so helpful and accommodating and super outgoing and friendly. He really made our stay wonderful. The breakfast was delicious. Activities available at the hostel were great! It was clean and comfortable and just an awesome experience.

Awesome hostel with stunning views, free tea and coffee and a nice vibe. They even give you the nicest free hot chocolate at tea time. Only issue was one of our rooms was really really damp.

Great hostel! Staff are very friendly especially Mariano. They host several activities during the week, its a very social hostel. Dorms are clean and bunks have curtains for privacy. They also have amazing sunsets

This hostel is AMAZING. So beautiful--dorm beds have proper bedding and felt so clean. Very close to downtown for exploring but also lots of super noce places to just hang out around the hostel. Breakfast was great and good value. Staff were so helpful and knowledgable. Cant say enough good things about this place!

Be careful, staff steals money from the locker! The owner denies it, but I can prove it quite clearly (knowing the other guests in my dorm, time window, way to enter the locker, …). Also, there is no place to dry laundry, which is very important in this region. The beds are uncomfortable and really noisy.

Great hostel in a nice chill location not too far from the centre. The staff were friendly and it has a great balcony to enjoy your coffee on in the mornings. I would definitely return.

Amazing hostel, the best we've seen in Colombia. Relaxed atmosphere and the double room was very very nice with amazing views. Don't forget about the 2 huge and very friendly dogs. Would definitely recommend this hostel!

Not sure why this hostel is so well rated. Nice garden but rooms are just ok and we had no electricity and very bad internet connexion for 2 days, the hosts just didn’t care, we asked for a towel that they made us pay for rent even considering we had no electricity nor internet which was not supposed to happen. We tried the Viajero Hostel then next to it which was much better for the same price. However one of the guys from the hostel was super nice and took us play Tejo so we had a super fun night.

Stayed here for one night, was great location, plenty of room and space in the dorms, the outdoor area was wonderful and such a great space. Staff extremely friendly, hospitable and helpful. Great rooms, comfy beds, but top bunk was really difficult to climb up to the beds and there is no shelf to put your things on and I did not see any lockers to put your belongings.

This hostel is awful - if you can avoid it, do so. There were several issues that we had to deal with. We booked a private room for 3 nights. Firstly, our room was infested with wasps. This isn't something you can fault the hostel staff for, but the hostel is poorly constructed and the rooms aren't sealed at all. After the first night we woke up to several wasps (not bees) flying around in our room. When we complained, the grounds keeping staff attempted to solve the problem by spraying pesticide without any results. When we requested another room, they said they didn't have any available (which is understandable) - the owner/manager (Edward) told us that we can book another hotel (at last minute prices). and he can give us a refund for just 2 nights (out of the 3 we were staying). He said that the issue will be fixed and to just give them a couple of hours. The next morning we wake up to an even bigger cluster of wasps around our room. Following this, they said they can move us to another room on the 3rd night. We had to repack all our belongings at 6am with wasps hovering in our room and then wait for the other room's guests to check out then, the room be cleaned and then move in - we weren't compensated for any of this in anyway. Secondly, the staff - in particular, Kevin, will provide incorrect information about tours, pricing and the available payment facilities. Note that Kevin speaks English well - this will become relevant because the hostel will use language barrier as an excuse. Downhill mountain biking: He told us that there are card payment facilities available for the downhill Mountain biking tour. When we got there the operator said only cash payments are accepted. Which left us in a stressful situation, requiring to convert currency last minute (roughly $100 USD). When we questioned why they told us that card payment were accepted - he said that he was referring to another tour and there may have been a 'misunderstanding'. Taxi: When leaving the hostel to catch our flight from Periera, we booked a taxi and were told that it would be COP 100,000. We confirmed this multiple times. We get into the taxi and the driver locks the van doors with his keys from the outside. Which I thought was a bit odd. We get to the airport and the driver enters COP 200,000 on his phone. We tried to explain to him that we were told it would be COP 100,000. We called the hostel and they blamed it again on a "misunderstanding". Then they send us a picture of a price list that states COP 200,000. The driver simply looks away when you try to explain to him (using Google translate) that you were told COP 100,000. We eventually had to pay him COP 200,000. He then unlocks the van doors for you to get out. This is an unbelievable tactic - and this 'misunderstanding' has clearly happened before for the driver to lock the doors in this manner - there is absolutely no need to lock van doors particularly given that you cannot unlock it from the inside if there is a need for you to get out a vehicle in emergency or accident. Jeep/willys: Kevin told us the price for the jeep to the coffee tours was 6000 each way per person - it was actually 3500. Thirdly, it is located far from the main city square and shops - in the very corner of the town's boundary. The hostel has high reviews for its "aesthetic" with pretty pictures online, which is why we booked with them. While walking around we quickly realised there are several other hostels around Salento that are well located. Misinformation on their part has cost in money, time and unnecessary stress.

Staff were friendly, spoke great english and were very helpful. Really liked the piece of paper we were given when checking in which contained useful information about the area. Breakfast was nothing special, they should improve it. The common area was very cold, for some reason they keep the doors open at all times. Security is not great - the thing you attach a padlock to is screwed in, so anyone with a screwdriver would be able to circumvent your lock. WIFI was bad, they should get an expert to fix the reliability and combine the different networks into one.

Great hostel with two friendly dogs. The staff really helps if you need to know anything. It’s clean and the breakfast is good. The hostel organises activities.

Pretty Hostel with nice rooms and amazing view to the mountains. Compared to other hostels the breakfast is not the best. Most negative point: We ordered two lunch packages to go (15000 pesos each), but when we wanted to pick it up, it was not prepared. We were not able to wait because the taxi was waiting. After a message to the owner by whatsapp, we got only a kind “sorry, hope you could enjoy your stay”. For a hostel which tries to achieve a 10 star rating, this answer is definitely not enough.

I booked two night’s worth of accommodation here as it seemed lovely from the reviews but didn’t appreciate that I had double booked. I emailed the hostel requesting for a cancellation and they were gracious enough to grant it. Thank you!

Amazing hostel - great location with superb views, nice communal area, super friendly hosts. If I had one recommendation for improvement it would be to have some big comfy chairs for the balcony to watch the sunset

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! It’s clean, cozy, and quiet at night. I found it easy to meet people, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. I also love the two wonderful dogs!

We stayed here for three nights, beautiful building and space but I want to especially mention how lovely all the people working there were - happy to go out of their way to help and always available to answer any questions or even just a chat. Had our laundry back in the same day, and always a smile for everyone. Naturally I have to mention of course the two main characters running the show , making leaving this lovely peaceful place that bit harder

The best hostel we have ever stayed in. Incredible views over the hills, spotlessly clean, a beautiful building and calm, friendly vibe. The staff here are next level, going over and beyond to help with recommendations, I especially want to say thank you to Hugo, who greeted us when we arrived from a night bus at 4am and was so kind and attentive. I also agree with other reviews that friendly, interesting people stay here so you end up chatting to lots of new people. Would definitely recommend staying at Coffee Tree, I’m just sad we couldn’t stay longer!

Comfortable beds with outlets and privacy curtains, friendly staff, AMAZING views and serveral naturistic common areas for chilling 👍👍

The vibe is very chill and the are very friendly. The type of people who seem to end up at the hostel are very friendly and nice ingenereal so you will make many friends. The breakfest and free all day coffee are quite good. The property is very green and tranquil, easy to just hang out at. They also are very helpful in recommending tours and suggesting things to do in Salento. A very cool place over all with some awesome people. They also have 2 GIGANTIC St. Bernards who are pretty interesting and fun to pet. I highly recommend staying at this hostel

I've travelled around the world and stayed in many, many hostels. This was my #1 favourite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Beside the amazing place and view from the hostel, our experience was magnificent even more because of the amazing staff! Best hostel in Salento for sure!

What a fantastic stay! Everything from the service of the staff to the quality of the room and common areas. Could not recommend this enough for people traveling to Salento. What a great vibe. We’ll definitely visit again! PS. This is what I woke up to ;)

Coffee Tree house really is a gem, this house is beautiful with a very peaceful garden, amazing BIG dogs, and a relaxing vibe that makes you want to stay there for weeks. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, you're very close to the Salento main plaza and you'll have plenty of activities to choose from. Thank you Coffee Tree!

Loved this place for price point and the view. Staff was very helpful in any questions we had and even offered to make us tea when we told them we got food poisoning. We forgot to put in our breakfast order our first night there and they were kind enough in the morning to offer to make something for us anyways. About a 6 min walk to the town square. Private room with the balcony over looking Salento was nicer than expected. My only "complaint" was that wifi in the room was pretty nonexistent.

Had a real nice stay! The dogs were amazing and never “in your face” they just chilling. Also breakfast was really really good! Nice hygenic rooms! Good location for the village! 100% recommend!! (Foto’s are from the view from our balcony) also the staff was super helpfull and friendly! Thank you very much!
