We like how cute the place and it speak its character. The location is just few mins away from the main square and the bus station. The host/reception is very helpful and kind same with the other staff. Really love our stay here and we wanted to extend our stay but they were already fully booked.

Set in Salento, 49 km from Ukumari Zoo, Reserva Guadalajara - Cocora Valley offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. This 5-star hostel offers a bar. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a concierge service.

Great property in a lovely location. 45 minutes on foot from Salento or a short Jeep or taxi ride away. This is a perfect place to come and reset from all of the chaos that some of the bigger cities in Colombia offer. Coming here was one of the best decisions that we have made on our Colombia trip. The elephant rock horse ride with Diego and Guillermo was an unforgettable experience which I could not recommend booking enough. The staff are all lovely, highly attentive and are happy to help in any way which they can. The breakfast is amazing and hearty and both times we ate dinner, the food was spot on. We’d recommend the trout in garlic paired with a nice glass, or bottle, of vino blanco! The hot chocolate at breakfast. Amazing! We did the Cocora valley loop trail in 4hrs (inclusive of a stop). We hike quite regularly, this trail was great, at times not so well signposted but we got round after a detour or two. We’d class it as a moderate trail, with two pay booths along the way and also facilities to buy drinks etc if needed. We walked from the reserve to Salento and picked a Jeep up to take us to the trail head. Finca Ocaso was the coffee tour that we took (also via Jeep from Salento. And Filandia is a trip well worth recommending especially on Saturday or Sunday when the locals are all out- just be sure to book your Jeep from Salento in advance as this service can sell out pretty quickly. 10/10 for Reserva Guadalajara

With a private bathroom equipped with a shower, rooms at the hostel also provide guests with free WiFi, while some rooms will provide you with a mountain view. At Casa Mochila every room is fitted with bed linen and towels.

Our stay at Casa Mochila was amazing. Pat was very kind and helped us with everything we needed. We also got cake for my birthday. We would reccomend everyone to stay here. It is very easy to catch the bus to Salento in front of the hostel, just wave to the driver and they will stop for you. The breakfast in the morning is very tasty! If you want to chill here; there are very nice hammocks available. 10/10 points for this place and the service!

Certain units include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. Some rooms have views of the mountain or city. All rooms include a private bathroom. A TV is provided.

The hosts are a lovely couple who take the time to explain everything there is to do in the area (along with a map) and prepare a nice small breakfast with great coffee. The bathroom, although private, is not adjacent to the room (It didn’t bother me). Overall very clean, good location, laundry service, small breakfast, amazing hosts and great value for money, definitely recommend!!

Hostal Rio Arabia - Valle De Cocora HOTELis located in the beautidul Cocora Valley in Salento where you can enjoy valley walks by the Andean Mountains and immerse in Quindian culture. Free WiFi access is available.

I felt really welcomed by the owners and staff. It's a great place for those who enjoy the nature and tranquility. We booked one of the smaller rooms, but it was beautiful, clean and well-maintained. We were greeted with a cup of delicious coffee and bowl of fresh fruits, the owner showed us their spacious garden, bunnies and birds, it's a good place to relax and connect with nature. There's a small restaurant just steps away and it's a perfect spot if you want to get away from the crowded town of Salento.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Really comfortable hostel in a great location, a short walk from the centre of Salento. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and have everything you need (lockers, curtains, lamps, plug sockets). The common spaces are also really nice and there's always somewhere to just chill out. It was easy to meet people here thanks to the activities, but also easy to get a good sleep as there's no loud music/bar - a perfect balance!

    I highly recommend this hostel! The staff are so friendly and helpful, they serve a cheap breakfast each morning and you can arrange excursions from reception. It’s a short walk from the main square and transport. It’s also a great place to meet other travellers too with a great community vibe, this isn’t a party hostel at all. I recommend bringing earplugs, the doors are super heavy and you can hear them slam.

Answered any questions we had, gave us nice bracelets on arrival, and replaced my charging cable that I lost (which was my fault not there’s). The beds have nice curtains and are comfortable. The location is great, just off of the square. And everyone was super friendly. Great backpackers hostel.
