So far, after two weeks in Colombia... Salento has been my favorite destination. I didn't feel like trudging all around comparing various hostels so I went with Floresta. Very happy I did! The owner is very friendly and helpful as is the rest of the staff. I was only going to stay a night and move on, but have enjoyed... More

This is one of the best places have stayed in. This is a family run place but this does not interfere at all and you wouldnt even know it. The people do not speak English but are very friendly and really looked after us. They have prepared for this though and have materials available in Englih (see below). When we... More

Very welcoming and friendly. I stayed for a week, and I hope to return someday. I stayed in both the dorms and a private room...both are perfect. It's location is great too, just a few blocks from the city plaza, across the Yellow Bridge. Also, they let me use the washing machine for free! Get some of the free juice... More

...all the things you need when travelling. We found this place after a terrible night at the Plantation House, and this was everything the Plantation House wasn't - spotlessly clean, quiet, well-maintained and above all the owners were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed, including helping us with plans for getting to the Cocura valley (well...

We've been there for one night and we loved it. We found it when walking around and suddendly we move from another hostal to this nice place. It's the cleanest hostal we've had in total Colombia and the Owner is very very friendly and helpful. There is no more to say than 'recommendable'! The two austrians

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed staying in La floresta for few nights. Ernesto, Eli and all their warm family really made us really feel like home, took good care of us and helped us in everything we needed. For the rest rooms are basic but clean and in good condition. Location is also good (few cuadras from the main... More

We have stayed in the Floresta Hostel for 3 nights during our travel and really enjoyed the familiy atmosphere. Ernesto and his wife kept asking if we wanted coffee or juice and gave us a lot of information on the surroundings. The day we wanted to leave was a national holiday so we had a lot of problems with the... More

We got to La Floresta in Salento after 3 days og intense partying in Medellin. La Floresta Hostel was just what we needed: Quiet, clean room, great service, great and free coffe, free and quite fast internet and a wonderful family spirit among the owners, who ends every sentence with "con mucho gusto" (with great pleasure). There is a bath... More
