Very spacious, clean, cozy place. The breakfast and dinner were really good. We also enjoyed the pool. Staff was friendly and helpful

A bit far/expensive to get there from Villavieja.

Awesome Cabaña in the middle of nowhere. A lot of space and an incredible outdoor bathroom. The whole team was very nice and was caring about us like family. Highly recommend to stay here when in the Tatacoa desert!

They do not have English guided tours - not necessarily a big problem, but worth a notice. You generally would do well with some Spanish knowledge

Very friendly and helpful personnel Lovely cosy facilities/huts to sleep in Cool to see the deserts and the very special landscapes!

The entire area is extremely hot in the mid afternoon so either sit in pool until 5pm comes around or sit in front of the room fan for few hours.

Clean, nice rooms and bathrooms for the region. A very peaceful & beautiful setting free of noise pollution and the masses. A great place to relax and unwind. There’s a large pool that pumps ground water from the desert to cool down during the very hot mid-day. It gets very hot so a pool is a must. Also a fan is a must to endure the heat which each individual rooms has. Once 5pm hits, the temp of the area becomes very comfortable and one can sit and enjoy nature, the amazing view, and one of the best sunsets you’ll experience. The owners and staff are also very kind and accommodating. Huge portion for dinners.

The mosquito net did not cover the entire bed so it was of no use, luckily no mosquitos but there were bugs as we were in the wild.

The location and the staff very friendly. Since we were the only ones they upgraded us for free to a bigger room. The breakfast was simple and delicious.the staff assisted us with the tour and even directed us till the ferry.

This is the place you’re looking for if you want to be surrounded by stunning landscape yet feeling at home thanks to the amazing staff. We got a transportation service from Neiva and a tour where Ferney, walked us through the stunning architecture of the desert. John Camilo (and Berlin!) is the best host, very welcoming and accommodating and all the staff really. The cabin is comfortable, with everything you need and very clean. At night you can enjoy stargazing and the pool is really a plus considering the hot temperature. Highly recommend!

We loved our time here! Everyone was very friendly, the cabin was very big and super clean, the home-cooked dinner each night was amazing. We also booked a tour through the deserts with them (Ferney is an official guide) and it was very fun, despite our limited Spanish. We would definitly come again.

Nothing, it was an incredible experience to stay at the Star Lounge Hotel.

The hotel’s location is out in nowhere, which we found amazing! The staff was super friendly and attentive. The hotels dog makes sure to chase away any animals during the night, so we slept with our doors open to allow air flow through our room. The facilities are very basic, which is part of the hotel’s charm in our opinion. If was really warm in the evenings, but the hotel provided a fan, and with open doors it was not a problem: We didn’t have to plan any of the activities, the hotel’s driver Juan Camilo made sure to tailor the program according to our wishes and was super flexible. He ensured to bring us everywhere (which is very difficult by yourself even with a car in this area) and he also coordinated with the local guide and with the hotel kitchen to fit our wishes.

The dog was barking in the middle of the night several times and for quite a long time.

The staff was great, such a lovely family! They helped with everything - transportation, offered ice for water bottles, coffee etc. The place is beautiful and I like that it's remote. It's in walking distance from the grey part, Valle de las Fantasmas etc. Dinner was ok since there weren't any other options available as the place is a bit isolated. You can eat a cheap lunch close to the Piscinas or red part of the desert.

No clear signposts and the google maps location is not correct so ensure you get directions There are no comfortable chairs to relax after diner. Also at dinner very basic seats (wooden block) Small bed and not the best mattress but that counts for the whole of Colombia, at least in our experiences so far The tour they offer is ‘t really a tour, you need to drive your own car or hop on their motorcycle and they guide you.

Remote location, great outdoor shower Super friendly owners Diner options are tasty, plates are big enough to share Basic but tasty breakfast (eggs fruit and slice of bread)

This review has been hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

The doors were hard to open and close and the front door of our cabin did not close completely at night.

The staff was very very nice! Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable and they even have a new pool which is nice.

Amazing location and super super nice Staff!! Tatiana was SO helpful with organising dinners, activities and transportation. The dinners were really good, especially the veggie burger A tip for travellers: you can take a night bus of magdalena tours which takes you to Aipe (you have to tell them to drop you of there), from there its a 20 min walk to Villavieja, from there on you can take any taxi to the place

Not super easy to find and the street to get there is a bit tough.

We really enjoyed the location and the atmosphere created by the staff. Each bungalow has its private open-air bathroom. Dinner was really good. A little gem in the middle of the desert.

Trip booked was very expensive and did not have an English speaking guide. Lots of extra costs on the day too.

Amazing location. Simple rooms but perfect for a night. Loved the outdoor shower. Helpful owner organising trips and transport.

Beautiful small houses in the middle of the desert, very clean and have everything what you need. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, we felt in good hands. Would totally recommend!

John is by far the most friendly host we’ve ever met. He responds quick, is very kind and helps to make the best out of your trip in Tatacoa. The dinner and breakfast are very tasty, the location in the desert is magic and his 2 dogs are lovely as well. In addition to this, he can arrange a guide for both the red and the grey desert and this guide is very good as well, definately don’t skip the grey part of the desert, it’s beautiful and if you are lucky like us, you can spot a lot of animals! We give John a 10+!

got bitten by fleas and mosquitos but I guess you can’t really control that

lovely family, showed us around the desert and explained loads of interesting stuff. amazing food!

Our tuk tuk wouldn't take us all the way to the cabins as the "road" to get here doesn't really exist. A lot of confusion finding the place. Would recommend the owners to come and collect you for convenience.

Perfect if you want absolute seclusion. Literally in the middle of nowhere and the stargazing is incredible. Food prepared was fantastic too.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Everyone was extremely helpful, the location stunning - located in the middle of the desert. Beds were really comfortable and the dinner options offered are home made and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.
