Spent one night here. There was only one place they offered us to park and we needed leveling blocks. Hard to imagine a rig larger than ours fitting (we have a Jeep Gladiator). Paid 38,400 for two adults, no charge for our son. Used the kitchen to wash dishes. Bathrooms were fairly clean (hard to keep the floors clean because it was raining). The shower we used was lukewarm, not hot, but we didn’t try the second shower. Caspian enjoyed the hammocks on the lawn. Lots of covered seating, though it was busy and most people were smoking. Free coffee in the morning. All in all, okay for a short stay. But without more room to spread out, I don’t think we’d stay longer.

Now 18,000 per person. Showers are hot and good WiFi. Biggest downside side is there isn’t really a flat place to park. So you’ll need some thick pieces of wood or levelers. 20 minute walk to the town. Would stay here again.

Does not accept pets at all. They say they have several animals and don't know how these animals (dogs, cats, etc.) will react to a new dog. Very disappointing its listed as pet friendly because it's a cool looking space.

Very creative hostel with lot of arts : graffiti on the walls, jewlery, music, food creation...a lovely place to stay, super sweet people, lot of French and Argentinean. You can camp (10000/pp), or either a dorm or private room. There is a lot of things to do around, hiking, biking, motorbiking, climbing, paragliding, la piedra del Peñol, canoe... be careful, you might want to stay longer than you thought.

All the comments below are accurate (places for tents, small space for vans, big kitchen, wifi, etc).
Very nice hostel with friendly owners. They host some artists and you can see their pieces of art on the walls. They are even building a music studio! A large part of the furniture is made from recycled materials. The property is quite big with many places to chill.
Beautiful hikes around.

Great spot to stay. All reviews below are accurate. Friendly, clean, organised, great kitchen and good wifi.
We stayed in our Troopy. You can only park on the concrete which is a small area and quite uneven but we managed ok. 10,000COP per person in camper van. It’s a 20 min walk to town. Tuk tuk back was 7,000COP.

Had two quiet nights here. Friendly, fun, artsy hostel. Surprisingly clean and well maintained. Showers are hot and there is a nice Mirador to watch the sunset, plus a few trails nearby. Short walk to town, but bring a flashlight is returning after dark. $10k/pp.

Auberge de backpackers. Pour les voyageurs motorisés, il y a seulement 2 emplacements improvisés non plats pour petits véhicules.
Douches chaudes, toilettes propres, cuisine à disposition, wifi, coin pour lire et se reposer (chill room), terrasse commune avec canapés, mirador pour observer de jolies couchers de soleil. Possibilité de brancher le véhicule à l’électricité. Bières Club Colombia à 3 500 pesos. L’équipe peut vous préparer un petit déjeuner tous les matins (non inclus dans le prix de la nuit). Le prix est de 10 000 pesos par personne par nuit.
Le village Guatapé est à 15 minutes à pied. Sur le chemin vous trouverez une tienda, à 5 minutes du site, en bas d’un immeuble, dans lequel les bières CC sont à 2 500 pesos.
Cette auberge est un parfait endroit pour les artistes en tout genre. D’ailleurs lors de votre inscription à l’accueil on vous demande votre talent et vos goûts musicaux. Ici les murs ont été décorés de graffitis par différentes personnes, certains vendent leurs créations de bijoux, d’autres jouent des instruments de musique... c’est un endroit très cool !

Si vous avez un chien, faites une demande au préalable à la gérante par téléphone ou Internet. Auquel cas, vous pourriez vous voir refuser l’entrée. Il y a de nombreux chiens sur place qui ne s’entendent pas toujours avec les nouvelles têtes.

Attention ! Les indications de MAPS.ME dans le dernier kilomètre ne sont pas très claires. Sur la piste, quelques mètres après des « immeubles gris » se trouve un Y. Prenez la gauche, ça vous évitera des sueurs froides

Not recommended to stay. It was very noisy at night and there are no rules to prevent people partying close to the campground after midnight. when we told the responsible of the hostel they told us it is our fault, because we are camping. if we would pay more for a dorm bed we could sleep more quiet. We couldn't beliefe this answer was meant seriously. the campsite is 5m from the party location. Not recommended at all to stay at this place.

Amazing place with a very good vibe. The place is very clean and nice decorated (with graffities and wood furnitures), you also have a reading room really warm and comfortable. 15mn walk from the center. Don't come here for the Wi-Fi, it's pretty bad, but the ambiance is amazing. Supposed to stay 1 night, stayed 3!
We paid 10k/p for camping. Kitchen pretty new and well furnished.
We clearly recommend it!!

Nice place not to far from town. You can also sleep in an old bus in a hammock for 10.000 cop pp.

we wanted to stay but the only spot they would let us camp was up front of the house on a out of level concrete parking. We asked if we are allowed to camp un the tent area with level grassy spots but it was denied. For tents ok but not for vehicles

Report Check-In

Yeah it's a cool place. It's an arty type place but without being annoying if you're not. Nice views around of the mountains. Secure parking for many motorbikes inside the compound which is secured at night. You can get your rigs outside. It's a large private area with fields around. 15 minute walk into town, 90 minute walk to El Peñol. Kitted out kitchen. They serve a breakfast for extra if you tell them the night before. Nice warm showers. Quiet at night time. Social place. Also has a dedicated reading room. Wi-Fi is shite most of the time. But the whole town apparently only has one line coming in. A tuktuk is 5000 to El Peñol and can be ordered at the hostel. Camping is 10000 and a dorm room was 23000 I believe. They have single rooms but not too sure on the price.

Great spot and a very nice vibe. We could stay for 10000 COP pP and use all their facilities. Slightly tilted parking sport, but nothing too bad. Fully equipped kitchen and a hot shower was a good change

Artsy and friendly hostel with a nice and spacious common area. Clean bathrooms and free coffee.

Great place. We are paying 10k pp to camp. They said they were almost full for camping even though we only saw 3 other tents. Not sure if that was a sales maneuver or what but they eventually let us set up the roof top tent in the driveway and another small tent around the corner in the field.
