Lake View Hostel

Fine if you are after a clean room. Staff are nice. Definitely do not suggest staying here as a solo traveller. Heavily lacks any effort in creating a social environment, or helping form groups for tours. Wasted 2 hours of my time walking around talking to tour companies to find one to go on - the hostel could put in much more effort to link in with local operators and make more of an effort to help out. Could organise some social events or activities, walking tour, anything really? Understand it is low season and if people don't show that is fine, at least try.

I didn't stay but I had a friend that stayed, we rented kayaks and it was super fun! I did go in the rooms and they looked very cozy, very quiet and relaxing hostel. It's a good location if you want to stay like 5-10min away from the main plaza

The place is great. It's very clean, you have a lot of space, and it feels cozy. It's also very silent, and the sofa in the common area is very comfortable. There is a kitchen and drinkable water. There are also a lot of activities you can do, and you can rent a kayak and other things in the hostel. You can pay by card. I really enjoyed it.

Great location and lots of potential. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Would definitely still come back! A few areas of improvement: Cleanliness could be improved (insects on the floor, stained blanket). The hostel offers lots of references to do activities, but it would be even better if they also helped forming groups. There’s also a nice-looking bar and restaurant, but those unfortunately weren’t open when we were there.

The Lake View is a fantastic hostel! The staff exude great vibes and are incredibly helpful. The dorms boast personal curtains and are kept super clean, with showers and personal lockers available in the main area. They also offer a great breakfast for a reasonable price. Additionally, the kitchens are clean, and the wall drawings add to the ambiance. Just one thing to note: the restaurant is closed on Friday evenings, and breakfast is not offered on Saturdays.

A good hostel for a quick stop in Guatape. I did a 4 bed dorm and the beds were comfy, cozy blanket, big locker, and plenty of shared bathrooms. The lake was way lower than normal so there really isn’t a lake view right now, it just looks like a muddy area out from of the hostel. The staff was friendly and the common area made it easy to meet people. Definitely just the basics here but a good vibe and close enough to town that you can walk to everything.

Although old, the place and everything in it was made with care and of quality material so it still exudes comfort. Easily one of the best beds I slept in. Loved how relaxing the location felt as opposed to often too loud and busy centre of Guatape. Free coffee is always appreciated. No atmosphere during my stay.

Good hostel. Unfortunately the lake is really empty now so there isn't much of a lake view, but still a nice view of a meadow. Also the Thai restaurant is closed until December apparently, also a bummer. The staff was nice. The lighting could be better, that's for sure.
