The staff were not always very friendly or helpful :( The room was also a little noisy (from people outside).

The yoga was EXCELLENT! Great space for it and great teacher. The frogs we could hear living among the plants :) The room was nice.

Valentina and all the crew were really nice and helpful, always with a smile! There are a lot of places to chill, and the pool is amazing. It's really worth the money you pay for it.

It would be nice to have some places to hang wet clothes, towels, swimsuits in the rooms. The 8-bed dorm is much too small; I didn't stay in that one but it seems it will always be messy and too hot if full. The door to the 12-bed dorm sticks and it's really hard to open/close it quietly at night, would be great to have that addressed. And sometimes the music could be too loud but usually it was pleasant and reasonable volume. Tap water is safe to drink but the only sink is at the bar.

One of the most stunningly beautiful hostels I have ever stayed in. I stayed in the 12-bed dorm; it's large, plenty of space and ceiling fans are so comfortable to have a nice breeze to sleep. At night, the coquí frogs chirping in the plants are magical, something I loved and once they turn the music off after 11pm, it's extremely peaceful and relaxing to sit in the courtyard and feel like you're in the jungle. Security is good, the neighborhood is walkable in the daytime to shops, restaurants, banks and it's easy to get here in a Jeep from the bus terminal for 3,000 pesos. HOT water in the shower, nice to have. Clean bathrooms, kind and helpful staff, and they offer a granola, fruit and yogurt breakfast for just 10,000 pesos, good value here. Also note if you book direct with them the 4th night is free..

We got woken up every night by Israeli tourists yelling in the courtyard in the middle of the night so maybe the quiet hour rules could be enforced slightly better.

The private room was nice and big, the breakfast was good and the free activities were great too. The food in the restaurant was good and location was perfect

Another amazing stay at La Vaina. Great hostel at a great location close to salsa schools, restaurants and salsa parties. Nice to chill by the pool in the afternoon. Special thanks to Estefany for all her positive vibes and friendly help and David for the amazing salsa lessons!

The mattress in the private ensuite was not very comfortable. Sometimes the music was too loud in the morning before 10am

The pool was nice, and Diana was so kind and helpful. We loved her!

Mattress was uncomfortable but they said they are being replaced soon. Thin walls overall so it can get loud, bring earplugs.

The private room was cozy and spacious. Modern bathroom. Pool area was nice.

I loved the included salsa lessons and yoga. But most of all the wonderful staff! A special shout out to Stephanie for making my room change so easy and smooth, thank you so much!

Maybe I would improve the lighting in the room, other than that everything was ok.

The hostel is well located in Cali downtown. They offer free salsa an bachata classes and also take people to a very nice night club called La Pergola. Staff was nice and friendly and always willing to help.

I would like to suggest that the pool should be acclimated because after 3 or 4 pm it becomes very cold and it is not comfortable to swim.

It was comfortable and it has many amenities. It has a restaurant and a bar. The food is delicious.

Rooms could be a bit more spacious for backpacks and bathrooms, too, if you are over 1,90
