Viajero Hostel Salento

Wow, the people who work at the hostel are fantastic. We had an exceptional experience. What can we say about the reception staff: they welcome us so warmly and professionally that from the very first moment, we knew we were going to have a wonderful stay. The food is excellent, especially the pizza: the pizza oven is outstanding, you absolutely have to try it. Special mention to the breakfast team and also to the evening team at the bar/restaurant. Unfortunately, we forgot your names (sorry), but you made our stay truly unforgettable. Manuel from the entertainment team is amazing. Thank you for keeping the outdoor fire going. See you soon, we will definitely be back!

Nice hostel, very peaceful with beautiful views. The staff were super friendly, really fun people who made me feel immediately welcome. Dance lessons were great fun also. Perfect location for exploring Salento and the Cocora Valley, recommend.

My stay at Viajero has been wonderful. The location is perfect with breathtaking views over the mountains. The staff is also very kind and friendly and will help you out with any questions or issues you have. They also organise fun activities very often so it makes it very easy to meet and mingle with people. Overall Viajero is a beautiful hostel that I definitely recommend staying in if you ever come to Salento.

I love this hostel with my whole heart. Excellent location, great common areas, and the staff were top notch. All of the staff went out of their way to remember my name and were eager to say hello, allow me to practice my Spanish, and provide great recommendations- I can't remember everyones names unfortunately, but Valentina in particular was very kind. Ivan was an excellent activity leader- we danced, painted, played games, and always had a blast. The laundry service was excellent and the facilities were very clean as well. I spent 4 days there and I highly recommend for anyone looking for a chill and social environment!

Fantastic stay at Viajero Hostel Salento! 🌟 I had an amazing time at this hostel. The staff are incredibly friendly and always happy to help, which creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere right away. The outdoor chill area is the perfect spot to relax and meet new people — super social and laid-back! One of the highlights is the restaurant right next to the bar, which is super convenient after a long hike. The meals are surprisingly delicious and offered at very reasonable prices. Ideal if you’re tired in the evening and don’t feel like going out again. All in all, a great place for backpackers, hikers, or anyone looking for a relaxed and social stay in Salento!

We have had a great time at the Viajero Hostel. There were some issues with the supply of hot water but this was mentioned before we arrived. The staff was super friendly and it is a great place to meet people to go on excursions with. The view of the mountains around Salento to are amazing.

I loved staying at this hostel! All the Staff is amazing and they make sure they know your name from the start, a detail that makes a huge difference. The hostel in general is very clean, has a beautiful view, location and they organise a bunch of activities that allows you to get to know other people. Food was great as well! Overall my stay here was 5 stars and i got to relax and be very happy here! Thank you

We arrived early in the morning the day of our checkin and the staff was very accommodating, offering that we take a nap in hammocks, as we had travelled all night from Medellìn to get to Salento. Upon arrival, the breathtaking view of the surrounding nature is soothing and mesmerizing. Our room was clean and spacious. The staff was kind enough to rush breakfast service even though we got to the in-house restaurant a bit late for breakfast before heading to the Cocora Valley. At night, there are stunning sunsets and a warm atmosphere by the bonfire. I recommend you stay at this hostel if you visit Salento as it is also very nicely located - at a walking distance of all dining options and amenities.
