The prices at the restaurant

The vibes in the place

Stayed in July 2025

Mind blowing view on the lake from our room. Super spacious and clean, feels like a steal for these prices. Recommend to take the boat trip in Guatape, it will take you to the now underwater old El Peñol and you can wave to the hostel. And of course a shout out to Felipe, one of our great hosts!

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!

The restaurant was often without ingredients

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

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

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).

Not much to complain about. There is a jacuzzi however it wasn’t very hot, just warm.

The private rooms were big, clean with a modern luxurious bathroom. The bar and restaurant have a great selection, and there are many areas to relax in. Fun activities, like jet skiing and kayaking available!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The location is a bit far from the main attractions and points of interest, and it can be difficult sometimes to get an Uber there.

The hostel is new, very clean and has great facilities. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The best for me was the view and the tranquility, a great break after the nights in Medellín.

Bugs and no AC

Mia the host at front was awesome

The lakeside swimming area could be improved - better entry/exit would be appreciated. There were so many people the night of our stay that the bar was a bit overwhelmed. Had to wait 15 minutes to order drinks. But that's a minor issue, the drinks were excellent!

Beautiful views, nice pool/bar. We stayed in a chalet-style room with a jacuzzi. Super!

Not very vegan friendly but otherwise good but pricey food. Keep in mind that the hostel is around 20 minutes away by car from the mountain and the city Guatapé. They don´t offer any transportation and uber doesn´t work very well. They can call a taxi for you for 50 000 pesos one way so it's quite pricey. If your main reason to come is to see the city and the stone then I would recommend choosing a different accomodation

The views are absolutely stunning. The pool is clean and the jacuzzi is to die for. They offer many activities such as SUP and kayaking. The bar and the restaurant is great. Big thanks to Tatiana for making my stay as pleasant as it was.

Facilities are incredible and everything is always clean. Pool/hot tub area is great and there are tons of common spaces. The food in the restaurant was also very good. The boat party was a blast!

Amazing new Viajero directy next to the lake but a bit outside of Guatape, you have Caro there who helps you with everything you need and passionate yoga classes by Andrea every morning

Stayed in February 2025

Hot water not quite hot- more like good and warm. Wifi very weak in the rooms, hard when trying to book onward travel etc

This is no ordinary hostel- super well thought out in every aspect: great food, activities, support and the staff are WOW. I haven't traveled using a hostel in over 15 years- nice change.

Location is a bit far from guatape.

Had a great stay. Good service by Tatiana, Felipe, Natalia and Andrea. Andrea did some fun games with us to get to know each other. And the morning yoga by Andrea is also amazing. It's nice to be in a nice and quiet area after the busy Medellin. Also slept great here.

Very friendly staff and a great value for your money. It was a unique experience you don’t find anywhere else. The bartender Sebastian was awesome, always in a good mood and providing top notch service. Definitely worth the visit.

Nothing

This place is incredible! Such a beautiful and amazing location right next to the lake with infinity pool Jacuzzi bar, loads of activities to do on the lake included. Felipe and Alejandra were absolutely amazing, accommodating very professional staff on the Reception any excursions and tours. I would highly recommend staying at this place. It's listed as a hostel, but it's closer to a four star hotel. Really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return.
