Viajero Hostel Salento

It was an amazing experience staying at the hostel. I do really need to highlight the warm treatment of the staff who were always so welcoming. Specificly them: At reception: Alejandra, Óscar, and Nicolas; were so helpful and friendly. At the bar: Both Alejandros were amazing with me. At the restaurant: the women who is always wearing a white chef dress, she was so nice with me. Thanks for all the staff welcoming and the help between. Big hugs to everyone!

Amazing view from the private room. Waking up everyday was a dream. They really respect the 11pm no quiet rule. Washed and dried my own clothes on balcony. Really friendly and accommodating staff. The breakfast was a little barebones. But there were many places walking distance. Drinks were a little pricey. But good vibes.

Absolutely amazing hostel! Maya and juli were so welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. The rooms are comfy and clean with some fabulous views. Super social vibe even on the off-season with multiple different activities hosted in the evenings. Breakfast was awesome too and big portions! There is a kitchen as well as a restaurant too. One of our favourite hostels of the trip! All the staff really go above and beyond and make the hostel such a fun place !

Viajero at Salento represents all the coffee axis has to offer-- warmth, hospitality, variety, comfort, and wonder. From the first day the staff at Viajero (Ale, Maya, Jefer, and Juli) welcomed me as if were an old friend. Truly some of the best customer service I've received in Colombia, which is always exemplary at Viajero locations. I stayed there for only one night but the facilities were impeccable, the food delicious, the activities and other travelers very calm yet friendly. I recommend this hostel for travelers valuing comfort, convenience, and customer service.

Beautiful hostel, wonderful staff. Our evening consisted of educational foods and drinks via several taster sessions throughout the evening. The setting in salento is picturesque, i cant recommend it enough. Our host Julie was funny and attentive to all our needs. The entire town is accessible from here and its peaceful given its location.

Review: Beautiful Views and Great Vibes, But Watch Out for Hidden Fees We had a very pleasant stay at Viajero Hostel Salento, though it was a bit of a mixed bag due to some transparency issues at checkin. Here is the breakdown of my experience: The Highlights: Scenery and Staff The physical setting of the hostel is breathtaking. The view of the surrounding landscape is easily one of the best in Salento, providing a perfect, peaceful backdrop for a morning coffee or an evening wind-down. The absolute standout of the stay was Alejo, the activities host. He was superb! Alejo is incredibly kind, high-energy, and clearly loves what he does. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included and had a great time during the organized events. He truly represents the best of the Viajero spirit. The Downside: Payment Transparency Unfortunately, the check-in process left a "bad taste" due to a lack of transparency regarding payment. When paying with a credit/debit card, the terminal was set up to force payment in my home currency rather than the local COP (Colombian Pesos). * The Issue: This resulted in an automatic 7% surcharge on the total cost of the stay. * The Interaction: When I pointed this out, the receptionist insisted the 7% extra was mandatory. * The Result: This felt very intransparent and intentionally misleading, as it wasn't communicated beforehand. Final Verdict While the location is stunning and the social atmosphere (thanks to Alejo!) is top-tier, the price-to-performance ratio felt a bit off because of these hidden fees. Pro-tip for travelers: If you stay here, I highly recommend bringing enough cash (COP) for your stay to avoid the forced currency conversion fees at the desk.

Won't ever recommend this hotel ! Maya at the reception is rude ,very arogant and is a liar ! Yes a liar...Be aware if your room is in the basement with Zero view and not even possible to get fresh air ( Room 19-11-12-13 etc .!!)..Avoid this hotel , or be sure you are not accommodated in basement !I would recommend a lively small finca: Los Naranjos, with amazing almost 320° on mountain view! Lucely is an outstanding welcome person ...and it s cheaper ! Don't miss it..If you are lucky book the incredible Cabaña del Cielo..see photo..!

Maya & Jefer wereWow, Maya and Jefer were the most amazing hosts! They really made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived at the hostel. I loved how they took care of all our needs, making our stay super comfortable. And can we talk about Derayan's cooking? That breakfast was absolutely delicious 🍳! Seriously, the food and the hospitality here are top-notch. I can't wait to tell everyone about this gem! #HostelLife #AmazingHosts #TravelGoals #FoodieAdventures ✈️
