At risk of exaggeration, this might be my favourite hostel I have ever stayed in. For a three night trip, I got to make the most of the most incredible balconies and range of calm outdoor and indoor spaces to listen to the birds and look out at the surrounding hills. The location on the edge of town makes it incredibly peaceful, although I don’t know if anywhere in Salento is very noisy apart from maybe around the plaza principal / Calle real at night. The hostel staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was perfect.
I really love how the dorms are arranged with the beds side on with dividers (I don’t have any pics but maybe another review will!), it felt more private like a ‘pod’. I was amazed at how quiet it was at night, I slept like a baby (maybe also exhausted from days of hiking and sun).
I did the yoga class offered one day, which was really lovely (I don’t think I got the instructors name but thank you <3). The yoga studio is very nice, and I think they offer classes that people not staying in the hostel can also do.
There were some other activities but I didn’t do them. As someone who prefers a quiet place to a party hostel, this was absolutely perfect for me, but people were also very friendly and sociable.
I also went on the ocaso coffee tour, which was recommended and booked through the hostel reception, and this was wonderful!
