    The room was very hot during daytime (which is somehow expected, while being in the desert). The description of the rooms is a bit confusing. We had booked a private room but it seemed that we had a mixed dorm. However, the host gave us the right room.

    The location is convenient. The red desert is in walking distance. The food was tasty and the prices very reasonable. The staff was very helpful and kind. They also offer transportation from and to Neiva for a very good price. There is not WIFI but there is 4G signal, not very strong but OK. The room was clean and had all the basics. Big BONUS: they offer free coffee (tinto) all day.

    Located centrally, close to the observatory and other restaurants, within walking distance from red dessert. The host was helpful to arrange tuk-tuks for getting around.

    if you’re only paying $2 a night it’s worth it to be close to the observatory

    really dirty and low tech, the lockers are a little risky looking, but if you’re the type to stay in a hammock you’d find it acceptable

    close to the observatory so you don’t have to walk at night and walking distance to red desert

    So.. I mean it's the desert - for this price range things aren't the ritz. The room was a bit dirty, someone's old flip flops were left in there haha. I really think they should invest in a mosquito net, there are big chunks of the wall which are open and travel nets are never as good as a full bed one (they're not too expensive and it would really improve the stay! I'd pay a few quid more).

    This place is very very cheap for the area. The area is fantastic, you can walk to all the locations you'd want to see (grey desert is a bit far and if it's hot get a tuktuk). The breakfast was literally the nicest included breakfast we have had in Colombia! The other food from the restaurant was really tasty too!

    There aren't plug sockets in the room but there are some in the dining area

    The owners were very friendly and accommodating: they gave us a private room when we booked a dorm as there was no one else there, helped with transportation out of the desert and cooked breakfast and dinner for us for a small additional cost.

    No power outlet in the room (which is to be expected around there).

    Got a private room for the cheapest fare and was allowed to check-in very early (9 a.m.) and check-out very late (3 p.m.). Food reasonably priced (breakfast 10k, lunch & dinner 20k, water 4k). Room was clean and with running water 24/7. Transport back to town for 20k.

    Luck of electric sockets in the room and there is no WiFi

    The location is really nice quite close by walk to trails in the Tatacoa desert. We got a nice small room with a king size bed. Everything was clean. The host was very nice. She made free coffee and agreed to leave our backpacks after checkout and when we finished the trail she gave us wonderful lemonade and taxi service to the city.

    It has NO outlets. No air conditioning. The bed was a like a worn out futon with the slats sticking through. It has no night stand or any table. Bathroom tiles, slippery as snot!

    Not much.

    Not the cleanest or most comfortable, but you pay for what you get I suppose. No power sockets in the dorm room. One of the staff members in particular was very moody and unhelpful, after having organised a price the day before for two motorbikes she decided to change it to double the price the following day, that after we'd walked miles to pick them up. Take your own toilet paper!

    Location is right between the red and grey deserts and across the street from a nice astronomy spot. Very cheap. Very quiet and peaceful. The guy is super friendly and helpful.

    Very unpleasant staff, hardly say hello that the lady asks to pay immediately to take out my phone to see the price indicated on booking then adds 25% of the price on this calculator without giving an explanation, which ultimately makes a room more so affordable than that for the quality of service, close to zero. No drinking water sell bottles at excessive prices. Dirty room, cobweb, dust everywhere, uncomfortable bed, ask three times the price of the taxi taken the day before to return to the village. Tourists are taken for slot machines and the service and friendliness of the staff is really not there.

    location good

    from the moment we arrived it was difficult to even talk to anyone, and the staff were very unfriendly. the room we booked was not what we got, and what we stayed in was more like a prison cell, and very dirty.
