The hostel had a great view and breakfast was good (varied by the day). Our private 3 bed room was in be basement so it was quite humid. Amenities were very basic but moderately clean. Staffs were generally friendly.

Stayed here one night before hiking the valley. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for comfort but the hostel does have a nice setting. You have to make your own bed. There are folded sheets and blankets on the bed. At checkout, you have to remove them and take them to the front desk (army style). The beds are very narrow and if you get top bunk be careful not to fall. There was no hot water when I showered at 11 pm. The Wi-Fi did not work in the room even though they claimed that it did. The dinning area has uncomfortable high stools but an amazing view. The only thing the hostel hot going on is that view. I moved to the coffee tree located 3 doors down on the second day and there you will find comfort.

Where to start. First they separate us to different rooms even though we booked in one room. Then they forget to give our passports back and put the wristbands on. They don't bother to show us around either. Just show our beds and that's it.
The next day they don't even try to move us to one room. When we book a coffee tour they inform us we need to get to the coffee farms by ourselves AFTER we pay. Oh they also "forget" to give our change back.
We also heard them arguing with one of the guests about laundry. Instead or resolving the issue they just caused more conflict. It seems to me this hostels staff is absolutely incompetent and doesn't give a flying f*** about the guests. Last but not least if asked about something they are clueless and/or gives wrong information.
All in all, a horrendous place that plays on their "nice view" (seen much better) but everything else is severely lacking.response / report this review -

El Viajero is a great hostel with an incredible view. I initially came for 3 days, and now I'm on week 3. The staff is very friendly and helpful. One of the guys at reception really stood out, Cristian. He always had a smile on his face and seemed to go above and beyond. I especially enjoyed interacting with the very sweet bartender, Yoleni. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Salento.

Stayed in a private room and it was great patio has a beautiful view. Breakfast is standard hostel breakfast but sitting area also has amazing views. Social environment is lacking and hostel staff does not organize any events.

Good wifi and a nice hostel with a view, but cold showers and more expensive than other hostels in the area.

Stayed here in a private room for two nights. I loved the location of this hostel overlooking the beautiful scenery, you don't get that in many hostels (if at all!) The wifi was slow, so don't bother trying to upload your pictures. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with this hostel in Salento. The town is small enough where walking from one side to the other just takes 10 minutes.

Stayed here for Christmas and everything was enjoyable. Good wifi, hot water in private room. Breakfast was included. Competitively priced. Street parking for motorcycles. Three of use had no problems over night.

The staff was wonderful and did their best to accommodate but we had to switch hostels a few days into our 10 day stay. Again, the staff was great but this is the list of issues we had: no lock on the back door of our room--there was a broken key in the lock (not sure why this wasn't fixed), our room was on the end by the "bar" which played music (loud and distorted) until midnight one of the three nights and there was a fire pit right outside our room, which other guests decided to fire up at 12:30AM which meant we woke up to smoke wafting into our room and the increasingly loud volume of other guests as they got drunk. The internet was a bust--we could only get on it for a few minutes one of the nights. Don't expect to have internet access. And the last day (the day we left) the water stopped without explanation. Thank goodness we'd already showered. Again, the staff was kind and attentive but they only had so much power. Also, if you like to have a beverage in your own room, you can't at this hostel. Oh, and they require you to wear a paper wrist band (like when you go to a concert) which felt very strange. And if you are choosing a hostel that serves breakfast, this isn't it. Breakfast consisted of bread and cereal. If you are looking for a party scene and stay up late, this hostel will be great for you. If you want to sleep by midnight, not so much.
