    The accommodation has everything you need. A cafe, a restaurant, a nice view and comfortable beds. Would definitely recommend it. A lot of activities they offer and wheee you can take part for free, so it’s perfect for socialising.

    The staff made everyone feel welcome from the start and were always available to help with anything. The atmosphere was incredible with a good balance of quiet yet still social. Alessia's amazing energy took the evenings at the bar from great to incredible.

    Dogs do expect a couple of fries here and there.

    Lovely staff who aim to make you feel at home at all times. The facilities including rooms are everything you'd ask for. The location is right in the centre of salento, although the town is so small it doesn't really matter. Lovely dogs that are super friendly.

    The wifi sometimes went away, and did not work in my room. But it was the least of a problem

    The vibe of the hostel is amazing! Everyday there are activities in the evening and most participate! The rooms (shared dorms) are okay, everything you need is there. Also the view from the garden is amazing!

    I was ok with my bed but another traveller I met mentioned that some dorms were windowless, there are basement rooms as well which gets stuffy

    Nice peaceful view at night. Social hostel. Hostel would have activities but not crazy party so that was nice.

    This is the third Viajero I’ve been to, and the facilities, ambiance and staff were exceptional as always. I missed my bus transfer, and reception was incredibly helpful pushing my reservation back, which I greatly appreciated.

    The breakfast could’ve been a little better but still pleasant. Also they blast music until late in the evening which can get annoying if you are trying to have an early night.

    We enjoyed the view from our balcony, the friendly staff, and all of the free activities the hostel had offered .

    That I couldn't stay longer

    My stay at Viajero Hostel was an absolute delight from start to finish! Juliana made me feel super welcome, and her eagerness to assist made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived.Juliana went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. Moreover, her co-workers were equally outstanding. Each member of the team exuded friendliness and professionalism, creating a welcoming atmosphere that truly enhanced my experience. If you're seeking a place to stay where you'll be treated like family, look no further than Viajero Hostel.

    There apparently was a major water damage in Salento while we were there which forced the hostel to use reserve tanks. There were a few times where those were empty and we weren’t able to shower, use the toilet or the sink. The hostel is not to blame as the whole town was impacted, but it would have been great if the $5000 one-time fee to use filtered water could have been lifted at that time

    Great hostel, amazing location, the view outside is stunning. In comparison to other Viajero hostels this one is smaller and human-sized. Staff are really nice and activities are organised every night, we took part in a sound healing meditation yesterday which we really enjoyed
