Great hosts and guide. Very simple but cozy structure in the middle of the desert. Not far from the observatory and very well organized for any requests, from transportation to tour or meal. Strongly suggest if you're looking for a trip in Desierto de la Tatacoa.

Amazing location, amazing food, welcoming hosts

There was no wifi and the signal was bad. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend it to people who need to work while travelling.

The location was superb, as well as the staff's attentiveness. It was calm, peaceful and comfortable. Don't expect too much, ultimately it is in the middle of the desert: Internet, running water and restaurants are scarce, but the experience is worth it every cent.

Amazing :) We loved this place and the people there are so friendly. Communication was super easy and super fast with WhatsApp. They help you every time :) We really recommend this place :))

It’s not a luxury resort but we didn’t miss anything while we stayed there.

Basic but has everything you need. Amazing and kind hosts that cooked some of the best Colombian food I’ve had in a whole month of travelling the country. Very helpful with no matter what our questions and requests were. Easily surpassed my expectations!

This is a fantastic place to stay. The staff are extremely helpful, always willing to offer advice and tips. They arranged our transport from Neiva bus station. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the closest observatory, 20 minute walk to the start of the red desert walking trail, and 30 minute cycle to the grey desert trail and swimming pool. They have bikes in good condition at the hotel so it was great to hire them and go for a cycle! The food here is also great, with good vegetarian options. I thoroughly recommend! The only thing to note is there is no wifi in the rooms or communal area. Also note the rooms are basic but this is normal for this area of the desert.

Superfriendly and helpful staff, perfect location for the desert tours and nice vibe and outside hangout for relaxing in the hot weather. They helped us with all the transportation as well.

It is a bit complicated to get to

Casa de Campo is out in the Tatacoa desert so the landscape is amazing. Very quirky style with hammocks and rocking chairs. Excellent food.

Nothing! The rooms are hot but as expected from a desert.

This place was so idyllic we decided to stay and extra night. We were kindly looked after by the staff, Maul organised wonderful tours for us, and we had delicious meals prepared fresh every day. Would highly recommend!

None of this is really a "what didn't you like" as we expected it to be basic and none of it was a disappointment. There is no power in the rooms. There is a charging station in the eating room where you can charge but only during daylight hours - the property relies on solar power. The shower was just a hosepipe fed in above the shower area, so no 'shower', just a steady stream. It is not hot but, given it is heated by the sun on the tank, it is not cold.

You stay here for the location and it doesn't disappoint. The room was very basic but we knew it would be. The outside is covered in white plastic bottles, to keep some of the heat out. The bathroom is rustic but well equipped. The cleanliness is very good. Like most places, there are no hooks for towels or clothes. Parking is secure as it is within the premises that has a large gate at the entrance. It was safe but we still had to deploy the overs, as the parrots were rather too interested in the bikes and we feared they would cause damage. The birds and other wildlife were abundant, noisy and happy to be close by - nice to enjoy breakfast and marvel at some of the birds. The 1/2 mile walk to the couple of restaurants and bars was a very nice and pleasant walk. We stayed for a few days and really enjoyed it.

The fan in the room kept switching off so would have been more comfortable if it was on during the whole night. But do understand if the hostel had little electricity per day.

Liked how it was in the heart of the desert. The owner was very helpful even though he couldn’t speak much English. The food was delicious and definitely all homemade to order. Loved the hammocks and had lots of area to chill when to hot to explore the desert.

Very nice in the middle of nature

The co-travellers who stayed in the rooms in the main building complained a bit about acoustic separation between rooms... Get a cabaña on the grounds, and teach the parrots some new lines instead.

This is a nice hostel-level hotel in the middle of the Tatacoa desert. It's - as far as I could tell - probably the only place where you can stay to get that kind of experience (Villavieja is near enough, but somewhat loses the desert feel). Rooms are basic but honest - I slept in one of the bottle-built cabanas, staff is very nice and accommodating, it does feel a bit like staying with the family. The food is nice, I had goat and more goat. The living wildlife (a few chatty parrots, an iguana, the dogs) is great as well, and just hanging around in a hammock because it's too warm to do anything else makes perfect sense here. They do have bicycles, but I'd think that only makes sense before the sun hits you.

Very hot but expected since it's the desert! Highly recommend the room with the bottle walls instead of the ones in the main building.

Staff are honestly the best. They are extremely kind and accommodating. We had an issue and they went out of their way to provide us with the best solution. Location is great as well. 20 minutes walk from the red desert, a short bike ride away from the grey desert and 5 minutes away from the observatory!

Nothing! Great stay and helpful staff

Very cute place in the middle of the desert, walkable to the Observatory (7pm start until about 8.30 or so, talk in Spanish then look through the telescopes). The dinner was a nice big local meal with choice of protein-- cooked for us after the kitchen closed. We stayed in the family bungalow which was big and decent for the desert, even having a fan. Note that you can only charge your phones between 7-4 in the kitchen. Abs super helpful tiip.. we drove but also if you go by bus, go to Aipe and take the ferry from 6,-6pm. Saved us over an hour and didn't have to travel on the dirt road.

You can charge your phone only outside. They didn't have plug in room...r

Beautiful place if you go to tatacoa desert only 20 minutes walk... observatory 5 minutes.... you can rent a bike there.... food they have excellent affordable prices.

- there is no WiFi

Loved the location - walkable to Red desert and 5 mins to the observatory (10,000 per person 7-9pm everyday). The staff were very friendly and welcoming, they organised transport for us to Neiva and we rented bikes for 50,000 per day per bike. A tuk tuk from Villavija was 40,000. If you’re coming from Bogotá you can cross the river with a ferry at Aipe (until 16:30) to save time. Private room were comfortable and clean with a fan and mosquito net. There were plenty of chill out areas around the hotel.

The rooms are connected. Therefore loud neighbours can be easily heard. Also the place is located in the desert, please be prepared to a longer journey.

The common areas were very relaxing! The greenery and the hammocks made it very enjoyable.
