Reviews of Viajero Guatapé Hostel & Lake Club

This hostel is absolute paradise! The facilities are incredible, it’s like staying at a luxury resort with a pool, jacuzzi, bar area, and private dock for paddle boarding and kayaking. The beds are spacious and comfortable, the staff is super friendly and the guest experiences team is incredible!

Amazing views and the staff was very welcoming! The hostel is far from the town but you can take a bus and go to Guatapé or El Peñol very easily

The restaurant was often without ingredients

It’s was amazing. Mia is such a beautiful person. She gave me always a smile and she likes also torta. Thank you very much to the hole team . You are the best !!

Dorm- and restaurant-wise it's your typical Viajero, you know what to expect. Beds are clean and comfy, food at the restaurant is decent. It's settled in a beautiful area and they offer a lot of activities (can't rate them as I didn't participate).

Apart from the location being a bit far off Guatapé itself and the Wifi being on and off, what I really struggle to understand is why they're blasting the whole common area (hence the pool area with all the sunchairs) with reggaeton music all afternoon so loudly that probably even your old deaf grandparents living on the other side of the lake could hear it 😅 Honestly Viajero, WHY? The place is so beautiful and would be such a relaxing spot - still the only place you can relax during the day is your bed or the co-working area and even there it was still very hearable. I booked it specifically to chill out a bit and would have extended one more night if it wasn't for the afternoon pool party (that hardly anyone seems to attend, so not even great to socialize in my opinion). But who knows, maybe I'm just old 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everything was wonderful, the party was amazing, and the space overall was very comfortable.

The only thing I can say is that in the large rooms with a jacuzzi, where we stayed, I think there is enough space to have two bathrooms. Since there are two bedrooms, it would be great if each had its own private bathroom.

The location is amazing, pool and hot tub are great. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The overall vibe of the staff is 5-stars.

It's still a hostel so sometimes things were not as clean. There was a very heavy smell next to the hot-tub, possibly because drainage was happening there.

Brenden was fun, great host

Tranquilidad, confortable, instalaciones limpias.

Everything was incredible. Great views, lots of activities and Mia, Filipe, and Vedeline made our time there truly amazing. 10/10 highly reccomend!

I loved it

N/A

Very good dorm beds, with privacy curtains, and personal lamp, shelf and electrical outlet inside. Large shower stall, good water pressure, Hot water as well. It was very quiet after about 11pm, and there was absolutely no road noise. You can get a great night's sleep here and the property is beautiful, amazing view. They offer an affordable 10,000 pesos breakfast option of cereal and milk.

No self-serve drinking water provided ( the restaurant workers will refill a bottle for you, but this wasn't ideal ). The hostel is not actually located in Guatapé, but the nearby town of El Peñol. It's not very difficult to arrive here by bus + 10 minute walk on the road, but it's not close to any restaurants or shops. The hot tub was not very hot. You have to ask the staff ( sometimes repeatedly ) to turn up the temp to something more comfortable.
