Friendly people and great breakfast

Reviewed By Esther-in-Malaysia

The staff at Don Chepe is very friendly! The breakfast contained papaya, soup, eggs any way you like and coffee/chocolate. This kept us going all day. The rooms are around a courtyard, which can be noisy. We had a very small room with a double bed. When placing our backpacks on the floor, there was hardly any space left to walk. There were no windows in the room, the only daylight came from some pigeon holes in the wall. These were not covered by mosquito nets or curtains. The bathroom was nice and clean. The shower was warm and had good pressure. The room also had a tv and a fan. Will I stay here again, yes but I would book a larger room for 2.

One of my best experiences in Colombia

Reviewed By O1404WCnicolasc

The location is amazing. Gorgeous view of the valley. Good choice of accomodations (camping or rooms). You fall asleep peacefully with the sound of nature at night. The owners really make sure that everything goes smoothly from day one and make you feel at home. The food is delicious (Try the curry!) Their policy for recycling/sustainability really matched what I was looking for (composting toilet, naturally filtered swimming pool, reuse of plastic for construction...)

Cannot recommend enough!

Reviewed By bylrgrl

Everything was perfect! Location, service, environment, hosts, amenities and cleanliness. The hostel is located right in the main square, yet the rooms are quiet. The front desk ladies are EXTREMELY friendly and attentive to all the guests. Also very safe as the entrance and exit are monitored by cameras by the front desk staff. The hostel is open and spacious and has a balcony over looking the main square. There’s a pool, sauna (all working) hot water with good shower pressure and decent Wi-Fi. Highly recommend this hostel, even if you don’t generally prefer hostels.

Canyoning

Reviewed By Eleanor S

We didn't stay at this hostel but were recommended it for the canyoning which was great. Our guide Fabio was funny, made us feel very safe and was very encouraging. The canyoning itself was really fun, jumping, rappelling and climbing in and out the river. Pictures were also taken throughout which was an added bonus. Would recommend!

The worst place I ever stayed

Reviewed By K8560TGalexs

I want to share with you that I stayed one night in this hotel and it was the worst decision I have made in my life, this "hotel" says that it has hot water, but it is a lie, it does not have hot water, for me to bathe they gave me a pot of warm water for me to bathe, the hotel's electrical system is weak, it does not have cable, but national and religious channels. They do not have bottles of water, not even to sell. If you want to sleep peacefully in the morning, this is not the place because it is next to a Catholic church where from 5 am the bell begins to ring, interrupting the sleep at that time. In my opinion one of the owners, Mrs. Alejandra is a liar for giving misleading and false information. That is why the hotel is empty. I do not recommend anyone to stay in this place
