    Nice clean hotel in a good location, close to the square. The best bit was the complimentary breakfast to celebrate our honeymoon - we really appreciated this :) The only thing is we weren’t allowed to check in early, after an early morning flight, despite there being many rooms available.

    Amazing family owned business. We were biking downhill with them and it was an eye opening experience. Not only because of the activity, but also the people. They are amazing. We just had a perfect day.

    Great clean hotel in a very good location. Rooms are a good size, the beds are comfortable and the hot shower was good. Rooms were cleaned everyday too. Salento is very small so everything is within walking distance - lots of restaurants and Cafés nearby. The staff here are so friendly and helpful. It's a family run hotel and the two brothers (Jhoan and Pedro) helped to make our stay very memorable! They lived in the US for a decade so their English is perfect. They assisted with airport shuttles, Cocora hiking recommendations and other tours (horseback riding and coffee). Breakfast was good but simple. The restaurant itself is great for a meal and highly recommended during your stay. The staff even do a surprisingly good packed lunch if you want to do a full day of hiking. Laundry service is very fast and cheap, we used it almost everyday. WiFi signal was excellent throughout as well.

    Great place, good food and affordable prices. We came here for breakfast several times, and had dinner once. Seems like a family business, where I really liked the service. Recommended for both breakfast and dinner

    Exelent place for breakfast, lunch and diner! The people here are so friendly! My kids could play football and the Colombian game of Tejo!

    I can't say enough good things about BetaTown. First the hotel itself was clean modern and so cute. If you are looking for a hotel within easy walking distance of the action, but not so close that it's loud all the time, this is your place! Our bed was very comfortable. Never ran out of hot water once. Like any other place in Central and South America the water pressure can be a little "soft" when all the guests are waking up and using the facilities. That's just a fact of life when traveling in the region. It never impacted our showers though. Breakfast is included with your room. And it's not a continental breakfast of toast and coffee. It's a full egg scramble with toast, fruit and coffee. It's very good. The thing that made BetaTown off the charts special was the staff. They literally bend over backwards to accommodate you. This is a family run business and it's obvious they take great pride in making sure their guests are taken care of. I wish we had checked into them a little closer ahead of time we could have had them set up all of tours. The restaurant is not just a restaurant. It's a playground for adults. The have a small, turf soccer field. Darts, Tejo "courts", a large TV for watching sporting events. Pedro, one of the brothers took time to teach us Tejo and give us a little history behind the game. The food and cocktails are excellent. All in all, you can't go wrong staying here.

    Great boutique hotel with a modern and new feel. Great breakfast at restaurant across the street and extremely close to the bus station. Property was very lovely and interior spaces surrounded by plants and greenery.

    We stayed at Beta Hotel for 5 nights. We had a family room. Very spacious. The hotel and the rooms are very clean. The shower is fantastic. You get very hot water. None of the hotels in Salento have AC. I had some difficulty sleeping at night due to the temperature. I am used to a cooler environment. The rooms don’t have a mini bar or coffee maker. They have good security. The bus station and center of Salento is within a walking distance. In the center you can find ATM and exchange money. I would highly recommend this hotel. One of the best one’s in Salento. They have a restaurant across the street. They offer breakfast at a discounted price. I loved the pancakes and omelette. They have tasty burgers too.

    First of let me start off with the bad stuff… THERE IS NONE! This is a wonderful place and the people are even better. Much better than a bigger hotel. If you have any hesitation just book it. Very cozy and comfortable. Super warm and friendly. They also have a great restaurant right across the street that has incredible food at a great price. We loved our stay and will stay here again when we come back to Salento.

    As pretty extensive world travelers my wife and I have stayed in all sorts of accommodations and...wow! We were expecting a cute hotel in Salento and what we got was so much more! The hotel is cute, clean and functional. The rooms are small but exactly what you need for a stay in Salento. They are exactly as advertised. The hotel is safe as they lock the door and you have to be let in by the person working the front desk. The location is an easy walking distance to the main plaza and anything you would want to do in town. The restaurant affiliated with the hotel across the street is amazing. We had fresh, made to order breakfast every morning. They have such an extensive menu with many western menu items and we found the food to be the best in the area. The kitchen is clean and open air. You might even get lucky and see locals playing soccer at the field next door or chat with Marcela the parrot. Such a friendly small town feel. The restaurant also lets you write your name on their wall to “leave your mark” which is fun to read where everyone is from around the world. The family who owns this hotel is absolutely amazing! They truly care about your experience. After our stay, we intended to find a way to Jardin via bus or private transport but the owners of BETATOWN offered to drive us themsevles for a better price! On that drive we all shared stories and experiences things that my wife and I will never forget. Anyone going to Salento must stay at this lovely, family-owned place. Thank you for a wonderful stay and the lifelong memories!

    Nice and clean. Breakfast was nice and the staff were very helpful.

    We are a family of 4 and loved staying here. It is so clean and quiet. Close to walk everywhere, yet far enough away that it’s quiet. The staff were so wonderful. We were given breakfast coupons for the restaurant across the street, which again was AMAZING! We went for breakfast as well as dinner. Delicious food and great accommodations. Highly suggest staying here.

    I've been in this place couple times. They have the best brekfast in the town and the best dinner. The owner is so nice and helpful. Its a pity that not a lot of people now about this place. I will recommend to everybody. At the begining we were not sure if its a good place to eat dinner because there was nobody inside, but don't think this way. Even when its empty, go there and order some food. I think its because, it's not in the center and they are not properly visible from the street. Belive me everything its worth the price You pay. The brekfast is so big that we always eat one for two people. So its not expensive at all. Recommend to everybody. The best salmon an beef steak we have tryed in Columbia 😍😍😍😍

    We went paragliding with Pedro. Best experience ever! An absolute must do in Salento. Pedro put us totally at ease and all the pilots were great. Wish I could do it again!

  • 5/5 Karly254 1 year ago on Google
    We were quite late with booking, we booked the night before but they managed to arrange it on short notice (not recommend, you might miss out so get there well in time!) But we really appreciated the effort they made! Everything was really well organised. We got safety instructions which were very clear. The price is reasonable! Everything was great especially the jump itself. It was absolutely amazing. The instructors were really professional and clear. I was a bit nervous but they dealt with that excellently. In one word: amazing! I recommend everyone yo go paragliding with Betatown!!

    This review is for the PARAGLIDING / PARAPENTE experience – We had a great experience with BetaTown when we joined them on a paragliding trip; the service was super nice and professional from start to finish. The activities organiser, Pedro, did everything to make us feel comfortable and help with our first-timer nerves as he explained everything in detail. Cesar, my pilots was also great and made me feel very safe throughout the flight. Thanks again for the unforgettable experience. I gladly recommend it to anyone, even if they have a bit of fear from flying.

    Nice little hotel with a great staff that are always happy to try and help with anything you might need help with. The rooms in the hallway next to the lobby don't have windows, so sleeping in is no problem, and the rooms are beautifully cleaned daily. Highly recommended.

    It's wonderful in many topics. The cost is not very expensive. $$$ The service is very good, very friendly. The rooms are so cleaning. Food is very delicious 🤤😋. It has many thing to do, extreme sports too. The Cocora Valley is so beautiful but it's better the view in sunset 🌇 🌄to get a incredible landscape. This hotel can transport the guest to the valley. The hotel is very close to the Salento main square Finally the hotel has target shooting 🎯, Tejo Field And a good soccer field. ⚽ See u.

    Great hotel super cute little town with many activities close by, I highly recommend the horse riding if you are into that! Also the food in the hotel restaurant is really nice especially the steak there were quite regular mistakes with our orders but we don’t speak Spanish so that’s probably our fault but nothing major and all the staff was super friendly! The only problem we had was no hot water during about half of our stay there seems to be an issue with the capacity of the heating system. Besides that great experience!

👍 We had the patacon con todo, the trucha (comes with a huge patacon) and we had the pollo apanado (not seen). The patacon con todo was excellent. You would think the flavors won't mesh but they do. FYI, the tomato sauce does NOT have cilantro (phew!). The touchable had lots of bones, the flavor was...
