Reviews of Lake View Hostel

Calm, clean and comfortable hostel in a quiet area but still close to town. Nice view to the lake. Ample rooms, lockers and private bunk beds with curtains. They even offer free coffee in the morning.

I would have celebrated a breakfast included, even though i had to pay more.

A lovely hostel in central Guatape. As a family of 4 we had 2 x double rooms with lake views and en suites which were clean and comfortable. The small kitchen was fine for making hot drinks and breakfast etc. Unfortunately the Thai restaurant was closed but lots of places to eat nearby. We hired double kayaks one day from the hostel which was fun and enjoyed relaxing in the communal area on the top floor which had nice views. The hostel staff were amazing on the day we left when, due to heavy rains there were numerous landslides and road closures, meaning we were unable to get to the airport by car as planned. They went out of their way to find out the situation and arranged a speed boat to take us across the lake to a waiting car who got us to the airport in time (very James Bond) - so helpful and highlights how amazing hostels can be for helping out when things don’t go to plan. Would recommend to travellers of all ages including families.

Good beds with curtains and large shelf to put your stuff. Beautiful terrace and common spaces, lots of bathrooms that were always clean. Kitchen is well equipped enough to cook. Location is great, 3 minutes walk to the touristy center of Guatapé.

The kitchen could use a deep cleaning and the pillows were quite thin, but those are really minor details

I loved this hostel and would definitely go back. I booked a private double room for a great price and it felt like such a luxury! The room was so clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was lovely with a great shower. The location was perfect, a 2/3 minute walk to the main street. The man at reception was extremely helpful. I would recommend this hostel very highly!

A fan in the room would be great. Otherwise everything was super!

We loved the value for money. We had a private room, which was comfortable, clean, and featured a nice view and a balcony. We liked that the hosts were friendly and helpful. We had a calm, quiet night, although the hostel was empty, so we're not sure if this applies to times when it hosts more guests. The location is also great, far from noise and traffic, but close to the town and the mountain if you're into hiking.

This is a very comfortable place, with good equipment in the kitchen, comfortable beds and large lockable lockers, even in the dorms. The location is quiet, but still within walking distance of the center. Great place!

Large roomy hostel, nice terrace area, close to the lake, plenty of bathrooms.

Nothing

The place is great. It's very clean, you have a lot of space, and it feels cozy. It's also very silent, and the sofa in the common area is very comfortable. There is a kitchen and drinkable water. There are also a lot of activities you can do, and you can rent a kayak and other things in the hostel. You can pay by card. I really enjoyed it.

Staff were super friendly and helpful, kitchen had all utensils you needed, room was good temperature and so were the showers. Balcony area was super nice

It’s a little out of town (5min walk)

Loved the location, it's on the edge of town so it's quieter than the center of town and a very short walk. The room we had was more than we actually needed, we booked the family room on the first floor with a double bed and bunkbeds. The staff is supurb. We were a little disappointed that the kitchen is not currently serving meals but there is a fully equipped kitchen for the use of all guests and a large area with tables and couches to hang out in. Very clean and comfortable rooms and beds. We plan to extend our stay in Colombia and booked another room for 5 days after a side trip to San Rafael which I highly recommend.

Nothing

good location and terrace

the cleaning ladies talking too loud while working in the morning, while guests still sleeping. (All before check in time, so non respectful)

Very friendly and helpful
