At the hostel, each room has a wardrobe, bed linen and a balcony with a mountain view. VOLARE Experience provides certain rooms that include pool views, and every room comes with a private bathroom with a shower. All units will provide guests with a fridge.

I stayed in a shared room, and my bed has amazing view for the lake. The place overall is cozy and clean, with good Wi-Fi. The whole area is very beautiful, very green, with a lot or palm trees and blossoming bushes, far from crowds, very calm. The most amazing is a heated pool, and variety of water activities. I’ll definitely come back. And it’s highly recommended for those who value spending time in nature.

Casa Kayam Hostal y Residencia Artística is set in Guatapé in the Antioquia Region. This property features a unique experience, each room will provide guest with a sensory theme. Guest will be able to enjoy common areas such a music room, recording studio, and chill out room inside a Colombian typical bus (chiva), a retro gaming station, a skate board ramp, slack line and BBQ.

A very well-managed hostel. Great atmosphere and spaces to socialize, play, work, read, and do sport. The kitchen is big and very well equipped. The WiFi is very good even if it sometimes cuts (it's not Silicon Valley here). The location is perfect, just minutes walk to the village, surrounded by trees, nature, and hiking paths. There are two small tiendas for groceries nearby. So there is everything to enjoy. The owners are French, and they are very kind and relaxed. All the volunteers I've met are doing an amazing job, all of them smiling and relaxed.

Located in Guatapé, 4.4 km from Piedra del Peñol, Eros Hostel & Brunch provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar.

Very nice place. The owner is incredibly sweet and accommodating. You have a nice little 3 bedroom 4 bathroom house with well equipped kitchen and central sitting area, and a patio with lounge chairs. Or you can hang out up at the restaurant terrace and enjoy the pretty little view. Beds are firm but comfy, the showers aren’t overly hot, but good and clean, and the jacuzzi more than makes up for it. I loved spending mornings and evenings in the jacuzzi. In the mornings you have a chance to see the beautiful Barranquero Andino birds that come to visit. I saw 2:) The included Breakfast was great, many choices, and everything I meal I had to eat here was so delicious. Also some nice and reasonably priced craft beers and other bevies at the bus bar/restaurant. The location is easy to get to and from as it’s on the main road….a 3000 peso jeep ride to the drop off at La Piedra, and a little more to Guatapé or to El Peńol town. Not a very walkable location, the shoulders are tight, best to jeep it. If you decide to stay elsewhere, come at least for breakfast lunch or dinner and have a crepe:) So good!

This place is a piece of heaven on earth. I left with a full heart. I came the 1st time in November 2024 and I fell in love with the place so I come back 2 months later and I fell in love even more. - Let's start with the view that is just incredible. You can sit there for hours and just look at the landscape. The mariage of vegetation and the lack makes the place looking as a painting. The entire place is peaceful and relaxing and you are only a short walk from town if you want more craziness and activities. - Lodges are in the middle of vegetation which give you the impression of being one with the nature. The decoration made the place very authentic. My room was very comfy and I have plenty of space. I got a mini fridge (perfect for snacks). My room has also a private terrace with a view on the lack with a table and a hammock (perfect to chill and relax). I was worried about the room temperature at night but I even did not need to open the window actually. - There is a private access to the lack, which is perfect for a swim during the hot hours of the day. They also offer activities as yoga, kayak, hiking, massage... You can not get bored. - The breakfast is very generous and good. You don't need another meal until late afternoon. - Lady at the reception was very kind and helpful. She made me feel very comfortable even if my Spanish was very limited. Always happy to answer my questions. - The last but not the least was my meeting with Maria the owner and the creator of the place. She made my stay unforgettable with a her warmth. She made me feel as a family member. We did a firecamp, went to San Rafael, I met her lovely family... Being a solo traveler Maria took care of me as a daughter (I even don't speak Spanish hahaha). She so inspiring, as a human, as a woman, as an artist and as a nature lover. Don't miss her during your stay if you want to meet someone special. Thank you Casa Encuentro for being my new

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    What a gem. We were super satisfied. Tge staff was friendly and the breakfast was delicious. I also recommend to eat lunch and dinner in the hotel as they have cheaper prices than in the city. The room was tidy and the bed was really comfy. The location is private, yet easy to reach the rock and Guatape. Kayaking in front of the hotel and pool + jacuzzi in the sister hotel is included in the price. We could have not got more for this price. Thank you.

    Great location and very comfortable accommodation and safe! It’s not the usual hotel, the keys are on the door and you speak with the host via WhatsApp. He is very attentive and always answers right away. The room was very clean and comfortable. There is a shared kitchen space as well as washing machine and dryer. Just a short walk to the beautiful town of Guatapé. Absolutely stunning views from the patio of the hotel! Definitely recommend it!

    I ended up staying one more night in the hostel for the people and the beautiful place. I felt very safe. If you have a lot of luggage I advise just taking a TukTuk to get there. Without stuff we walked to town several times.
