    Unfortunately we did get some mosquitos coming into our room which was likely due to the bathroom not being sealed to the outside. So something to watch out for if you stay in the same room we did. Definitely no regrets though and we would definitely stay here again.

    We had a fantastic time at Hotel Kawa. The room was absolutely stunning and peaceful, bed very comfortable and had plenty of space. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the sauna such a great idea. It was so beautiful being there overlooking the forest and hills. There was a path through to town which made it very accessible as well. The staff were also very helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to help us out and make sure my food was all gluten free (I'm Coeliac).

    Only 8 minutes walk from the town, but in the lush forests. Birds are around - we loved the whole experience! Amazing time, we had our own car it had free parking and everything. I recommend the stand alone bungalows - terrace with hammocks, huge bathroom. We were a bit cold and got 2 heaters right away, it made our room super warm :) The breakfast is great, jacuzzi with the view is excellent also!

    The path to town in the jungle has no light so it’s difficult to come back after 18:00, I recommend adding some lamps on this path

    Great location on the amazing view although a bit far from the town and the path back is up hill , great facility and room with fantastic view from the balcony, great staff and great food , highly recommended.

    For our departure the staff handled our stuff and transferred it to the car without us knowing or having prepared for it. Although well-intentioned this took us by surprise and added a bit of unnecessary commotion.

    Amazing location with wonderful view of mountains and valley. The jacuzzi can be reserved for free and is a spectacular treat. The breakfast and dinner were very tasty. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

    Nothing to complain

    The Hotel is in the mountains with great views from the room and from the restaurant, you can spot birds while having breakfast. The breakfast was great local food veggie and non-veggie. Rooms were clean and tidy, everything was very nice. There is a shortcut from town which takes you through a path in the mountains, please take a flashlight and repellent. It takes about 5 minutes or 15 minutes if you start from the main road in town. Also we booked a driver from the airport with the hotel as well as a full day tour. It was great and the price was fair. We would definitely come again.

The staff is extremely helpful and super friendly. The location is amazing and you have awesome views. I would definitely come back here when coming back to Salento.

    - a bit cold in the room at night and in the morning - the shower is located outside and it can be a bit cold - no safe in the room - no basic bathroom stuff such as a hairdryer, tissues etc

    - location of the hotel: very close to the center - amazing view on the valley - very quiet and calm atmosphere: good if you want to relax - staff was very nice and professional - communication with the concierge and the hotel in general via WhatsApp: very helpful and easy - activities offered by the hotel are exceptional! I recommended the Carbonera Valley and the Cacao Farm. - breakfast is great
