    One of a kind hostel in one of the most scenic parts of Colombia.

    If a hostel could be perfect then this would be the one. This is a lovely peaceful oasis near the scenic town of Barichara. Great food prepared by Flo, with an attentive demeanour towards guests. It was the best three nights to relax and experience the nature of Colombia without being eaten by mosquitoes. Once you get settled you can take the regional bus into the town and back. Or just stay put and go for some walks around the property. There is Starlink internet if you need to do some work and I loved the outdoor shower. I will return as soon as I can!

    The bus to get to Barichara was full on two occasions so they couldn't pick me up to go to the town.

    Loved everything about it. The nature, the copious amount of birds, the owner was really kind, the staff were always greeting me with a smile and the whole place just hade an incredible atmosphere. It was perfect to relax after having spent time in Bogotá.

    This is a unique place, hand-built by the owners with natural materials and beautiful techniques. The location is absolutely stunning in midst of nature. The perfect place to go on hiking explorations to small villages, see Barichara and relax. The staff is very friendly and super helpful with any requests! Flo also guided us in re-planning our journey through Colombia sharing his experience. Plus the food is delicious and all of it home made.

    Excellent location.Numerous opportunities for hiking.Subliminal cooking from the kitchen, spread over a wide área to chill out,the dormitórios and all out buildings built to local tradicional, note the ceilings in the dormitórios.To get there, you can get hourly minibus, a mototáxi or a toktok, its a 40 minute walk to Guane a delightful small village, with a mirador bar, nice walking on the outskirts of the village.Theres a 6km sendero between Barichara and Guane.The beds are super comfortable possibly orthopedic mattresses A splendic location to chill out.

    The only thing I didn't like was leaving this beautiful place!

    I loved everything about this hostel. The owner and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the surrounding is stunning, the hostel is beautifully designed and the food is amazing! I could spend hours just enjoying the view from the kitchen or the hammocks upstairs. To get there from Barichara is easy and the ride is beautiful. Once you're there, it's easy to share a tuk tuk in case you feel like going back to the city (which I didn't, once I arrived at the hostel). I ended up staying much longer than I'd planned, which seems to happen to many people!

    Nicely decorated, and very well located. Not to far from town. Nomad is a place to rest surrounded by nature and with exceptionally good food. The host, FLO, is the best. He would recommend nice hikes and trips nearby.

    It’s quite far from the city, so you should think better about your budget, if you plan to travel to the city often. Tuc-Tucs cost 16-20k per trip.

    My 2nd time here and it’s amazing! Everything is cool, safe and cozy. You need to come here if you are going to relax mentally. Far from the city, from the crowd. The journey may seem long, but it's worth it. This is a place for lovers of peace and quiet Thanks to all the people who make this experience so incredible.

    The location is amazing, a bit out of Barichara in peaceful nature yet still easy to get into town by bus (3k cop) or Tuk tuk (~16k cop). The food options (for breakfast, lunch and dinner) are delicious and almost everything home made — really recommended to have at least a few meals at the hostel! Additionally, if you want to cook, the kitchen is also very well equipped. In the morning, you’re most likely woken up by the sunlight and beautiful chirping of the birds. The (private) rooms are comfortable with an outdoor shower to feel one with nature. If you want to do activities or explore in Barichara/San Gil, the super friendly host Flo and staff are well connected and very much willing to share their knowledge and help you to organize. We really enjoyed our stay and can only recommend you to also give Nomad a visit!

    Although I love the noise of nature, there was a bird whose sound was quite harsh in the morning. But nothing serious.

    It is a quiet place to rest, it has everything you need to have a good time, my room had a private bathroom and an outdoor shower, everything was very nice, there were 2 cats in my room and since I love cats, it was a beautiful welcome for me. I love sleeping with the noise of nature and according to the data from my watch I had an optimal sleep here. (I don't usually have optimal sleep). The food was delicious, the attention from Flo and staff was unbeatable.

    The property was peaceful and in the middle of nature. Even though we didn't spend long, it was nice to lay in the hammocks and listen to the birds. Everything was clean and the showers were open to the sky which was cool. We didn't try the food at the restaurant but it smelled delicious.

    It's far from the city, but you can get there by tuk tuk. I think it's possible to recruit more staff, since you have a lot of guests, but few people to assist

    An amazing place, tranquility, silence, nature and delicious food. Beautiful scenery, hammocks and lounge area, very nice staff.

    Some lockers might be nice for the people staying in the dorms.

    The hostel is absolutely beautiful. Bathrooms were clean, the food in the restaurant delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. They kept in touch even before my arrival and helped me to organize the trip from Bogotá to the hostel! It's a great place to hang out and relax. I found the transport to Barichara pretty relaxed. You can either walk to the main road for 15 minutes and take a bus that runs frequently or pay a bit more for a tuktuk to take you right from the hostel.

    We had such a wonderful time here. We felt like home, were really inspired by this beautiful project full of creativity and love, loved the peaceful atmosphere, the delicious food, our conversations with the Team of Nomad, cuddles with the friendly dogs… It was our favorite hostel on our one year South America trip and we definitely recommend it to everybody appreciating places full of natural beauty.
