    Spectacular Costa del Sol Villa with views overlooking the whole of Cali. José goes above and beyond cultivating a welcoming vibe including games, hikes, dancing, and cooking that make it feels like you're among friends and not just staying at a hostel.

    minor, but suggest improved signage at the entry door on 1st floor

    I very much enjoyed my stay at The View Hostel & Lounge. The staff was exceptional.  They accommodated my very late arrival, seeing me to my "private room booking" quickly for some much needed sleep.  The breakfast was authentic and tasty.  The facilities are clean and very well kept (daily). The private suite I booked was fully functional, including TV, great air conditioning, clean linens, hot water for the shower, a safe for my valuables and plenty of power outlets. The management and reception went out of their way to provide information about local festivities and sites to visit.  They even provided me access to group Salsa lessons that were very enjoyable, even with my 2 left feet 😁 The View is nestled in the hills with a wonderful overlook of the city from a rooftop balcony.  Though my stay was not long enough to take advantage of, they have a bar and patios offering many refreshments, spa & massage services onsite upon request, along with private Salsa lessons in a basement dance hall.  The pool is a refreshing break to the humidity of Cali, and is well attended to. This is my new go-to place when I am in Cali, and will suggest to any of my friends visiting. I tip my hat to Sandra, manager Jose, Johan & Daniel in reception, and all other staff.  Very warm & friendly. For sure, new amigos & amigas. Thank you again.  Great job hosting me!  You exceeded my expectations, and that says alot. Sincerely, Ken Bartholet (Estados Unidos)

    Great new hostel in Cali

    I didn't like that they charged me an extra fee that wasn't mentioned in the original booking, but I think this could be a tax for Colombian people. The neighborhood is safe and nice but is a little far form the action.

    This is a pretty new hostel, with excellent facilities. The pool is great, and it has perfect beds in the shared rooms. Jhoan, the guy in the front, has a great salsa music selection. I have to say this place is going to be one of the greatest hostels in Cali soon.

    The location is up on the hill, so those who cannot walk upwards on the hill need to use Uber. The hostel is new so still some of the details could be explained more explicitly. But overall, I can really recommend this hostel to anyone.

    This hostel takes the stay in Cali in a new level. The community and people are so friendly and nice, the facilities are top notch. One the best hostel experiences ever.

    Everything was perfect

    Absolutely everything. So far the best hostel I have been in Colombia. The staff goes an extra mile to ensure you feel like home. There are plenty of restaurants within a short walk distance.

    NOT a travellers hostel, don’t trust good reviews

    It is not really a traveller’s hostel, it’s full of local employees, how’s function is not clear, as we were only 2 tourists while I was there. Some of them where entering my female dorm to show it around to their family, including kids, without knocking or permission. Two out of the tree nights I was there, the owners had a private party with their families and friends, which made it impossible to rest or sleep. Someone recommended me to move to Viajero, and it is completely a different story. My only regret is that I trusted the good reviews, and didn’t book Vijero straight away

    The bed was comfortable, bathrooms where in the room. Empty hostel, no other travellers, so if you look to socialise, go to Viajero. Location is good, close to park with lots of restaurants

    Just no hostel and poor animal treatment

    It's not a hostel, it's more like a cheap, tacky hotel were the owner tries to sell her beauty spa on the rooftop. There was no atmosphere, no vibe when we were there. Almost no other backpackers but more Colombians holidaying. No real communal spaces either. Great parts of the building have a smell of cheap parfum. It's pretty dark as well. One of the worst parts were the two parrots that are kept in a very small cage right next to the pool where the hotel plays reggaeton from the morning on. Both of them are clearly mentally ill already. It was just heartbreaking to see those poor animals suffering in their tiny cage.

    The two guys at reception were nice and really tried to help! Beds were comfortable.
