Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Rooms were spacious and clean. Food was really good. Cheap drinks.
Wonderful tranquil setting with very helpful staff and excellent facilities. The breakfast was pretty poor but apart from that everything was wonderful!
This is a hostel that offers more than a 3-star hotel. Nice and clean amenities and rooms, friendly staff, in summary a great option for anyone traveling to Salento
Location was at the top of the town which was great. Very sociable hostel for a solo traveller with many free organised activities per day to make friends and try new things. Staff were amazing.
Great hostal 10/10 recommend! The view from the common area is stunning. It’s very cozy vibes every night there’s a bonfire. Great restaurant with amazing breakfast and dinner options. Safe area to walk around as well, it’s approx a 5 minute walk to the main plaza. It’s the perfect getaway!!
All of the staff at Viajero were incredibly kind and helpful. Their ability to speak fluent English made everything so easy. The property offered good food and drink, and also some great activities. They offered great knowledge of the area and made us feel right at home. Thank you for your hospitality, we will definitely come back to stay again next time we are in Salento.
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 beading 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.
Great Hostel with stunning views specially in the morning. Special thanks to Juliana for her coffee tasting class and to Juana for going above and beyond to help me with everything!
I got a private superior room and was super comfortable!

The place was clean the location was stunning the view was incredible, the general vibe was social, and they had fun activities, the kitchen was large but lacking basic equipment like a toaster, knifes, forks, cooking utensils and pans, and they had a really early strictly enforced curfew of 10pm, which was literally lights out.
Das Zimmer und insbesondere der Balkon mit Aussicht über das Tal und die Berge war klasse. Das Zimmer ist ein bisschen rustikal und das Bad ziemlich klein.
Es hat uns dort sehr gut gefallen.
Alle waren sehr Hilfsbereit und freundlich.
Das Hostel ist sehr gut organisiert und gepflegt und sauber.Auch müssen Wir den Mitarbeiter Manuel sehr loben der sehr freundlich und uns in vieler Hinsicht geholfen hat.- SALENTO Hostel viajero gerne wieder
Chambre propre et agréable. Vue du site et du balcon extraordinaire. Peu insonorisé et un service inégale au bar

Ok hostel for a few days
Hostel is a bit if a walk from bus station if you have heavy suitcases/backpacks, and up an incline. Hostel itself is ok, although can be cheaper for what is offered. No free coffee/tea or towels. Bathrooms are often dirty. It is ok for a few days.
I had a wonderful two-night stay at Viajero Salento Hostel in July 2021. The property is lovely and located less than a 10-minute walk from Salento's central square. My private room was lovely with a comfortable bed and a patio with an incredible view of the beautiful landscape. The real showstopper, though was the staff. They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and cared for, from check-in to check-out. Just one example of the staff's great service: they prepared my breakfast at seven on my check-out day even though breakfast usually doesn't start until eight. I'd highly recommend staying here.
