The matrasses were very old and their communication style was a bit too direct for my liking.

Great location, beautiful houses with a green patio. The WiFi worked well and the owner let me use her kitchen to cook my own food. They can als arrange tours for you and you can use the pool at the other hostel for 5000 pesos.

Incredible price! We even got a private room although we booked a shared dorm! Also we were able to use the kitchen which was very nice :) The owner is very friendly.

It’s a bit a mess, but at least I makes you feel like you’re living with the locals :)

Cute little hostel in the very center of the city. The staff was really nice and helpful for the tours and also the women could prepare the breakfast whenever it’s was good for us ! And you have it for you money !

Bed a bit uncomfy but you get what you pay for!

Owner only spoke Spanish but was so helpful with laundry and information on desert tours. We left our luggage there for a night whilst we explored the desert which was useful. Cheap breakfast and whole stay was good value for money!!!

The room was too hot and only one fan didn't help much...

Price, it was really cheap It had a very familiar cosy environment.

Super Calm and Lovely Place

- The staff is not very helpful nor friendly. No one was here when we arrived, we had to wait for an hour. - There’s only one key for the dorm, if someone in the dorm lock the dorm accidentally, you have no choice but to knock and wake up people inside. - The bed sheets were a bit used and dirty. The bathroom is not very clean.

nice location, very good value for money

Owner so.etime preoccupied with family etc.

Tour was excellent to the desert that host arranged. Breakfast good. Room clean. Nice pets and garden jungle arrangement in centre of the property.

Stayed in February 2023

the communal spaces feel like part of the family home so it’s not a social Hostal

Great location and comfortable beds, very clean. friendly staff who let us store our bags there while we went to the desert

Stayed in January 2023

Our room wasn`t the cleanest, there was some sand on the sheets but since they dry them outside it might have been from that, The bathroom was also full of bugs and ants, but then again we are in the countryside.

If you`re on a tight budget this is the place for you! The accommodation is very basic but you get everything you need. I think we even got upgraded to a more private room (I booked a dorm) with a private bathroom. The breakfast for 7,000 COP was great and the atrium is like a little jungle with treasures all around - a very unique place indeed. It`s in a private home and the lady of the house is such a lovely and funny person. I felt very well hosted!

Lovely hosts, incredibly helpful and great at organising transport/tours to the desert. The room was spacious and amazing value for the price! The complementary fruit and coffee were also an unexpected treat. They also let us shower and store our luggage after checkout, giving us more time to explore the desert. We were also able to use the kitchen which was an added benefit!

Stayed in January 2023

Check out was a bit earlier as described. Just make sure you communicate your wish check out time. I did not do that.

The place is in the middle of the little village and also close to the desert. The host is super friendly and from breakfast, room till tours everything is available in Hostal Villa Cecilia.

Stayed in November 2022

no real big space to just hang out / hammocks or something like this. not too comfy the whole place but as you are on Tour almost the whole day anyway that’s totally fine

Very good location. you are right in the middle of town. super helpful ladies there, feels like family! they are open and super warm hearted ! small place to stay where the family also lives but this makes it so special. was able to also use the kitchen which was super nice! would come back here anytime.

Nice hostel, very cheap, in the centre of the village, very clean.

The beds in the dorm are pretty hard.. I was fine, but if you are sensitive to that, you should reconsider. I think the matresses in the private rooms are better.

It's a family home with a nice garden and different rooms around, which they rent out. Very good location and they also organize tours to the desert for a good price.

Stayed in August 2022

Beds really hard

good location, staff organised a tour into the desert which was really good and made things easier. staff only speak spanish.

Stayed in August 2022

Breakfast was slightly underwhelming, it would have been nice to get some fruit! & generally to be able to make coffee anytime (but for the price I can't really complain ahah)

This hostal is super cheap and yet super pretty (with a nice garden space) and clean as well as well-located! It also has fans so the rooms stay cool. Very friendly staff, and the tours offered were a great package.

Stayed in July 2022

Our bedroom backed onto main road so very noisy, however size and comfort of the room was good.

Great location right next to main plaza. Host Immediately gave us all information for the desert. Lovely garden within the accommodation, friendly staff and clean facilities.

Stayed in June 2022

As for the room: there were no towels even though they were listed in the offer. No moscito nets. The mattresses night be too hard for some people, for us they were fine. General comments but this is not dependent on the hostal itself: it might get noisy at night, I had loud music put on next door at 2 am, the speaker was outside so it was really loud. We stayed in May - be prepared that the place gets really hot. Both outside and inside.

The location is really close to the main plaza. Breakfast is good and filling. There is a mango tree on the preoperty, we asked if we can have a mango and the owner offered 2 more. You can buy a tour from the hostal, which I recommend. There are 2 bathrooms for guests. A sweet doggie keeps you company.

Really minor things that did not really bother me, but you might want to know: Loads of mosquitos (not just the hostel, everywhere in Villevieja) Cold showers only (it is hot however, so it is refreshing) The ferry from Aipe only operates from 6AM to 6PM

Great location and value, nice staff (& dog), spacious and clean dorms, good optional breakfast that will not leave you hungry as in most hostels of Colombia, organization of tours for a really fair price, very flexible with the booking (bus was delayed so ferry was not in service anymore, so I had to stay the night in Aipe. Could change the dates very swiftly).

Stayed in May 2022

Nothing really :)

Very helpful lady of the hostel. Immediately explained how you can go in the desert and what it will cost, on your own with a tuctuc or with a tour. We expected it to be very hot in Villavieja, but the room wasn't so we were very content!
