When you go to a farm, you know what to expect; rustic accommodations, quietness, lots of outdoors, walking, bugs, etc. In this hotel, rooms (in the side I stayed in - típico - , anyway) are clean and quiet, but REALLY rustic. If you're expecting more modern rooms and accessories, you can ask for other sides of the hotel, which... More

Stayed for 3 nights in the “hammock” wing of this coffee plantation. We had to walk quite a ways to the dining room (there are no other dining options, as this place is remote). The manager Claudia, however, made the stay memorable. The staff goes out of its way to make the meal service interesting and entertaining--she delivered the meal... More

Fine hotel but a bit surprised this is #1. Grant it I can't compare to the other properties in the area but was quite disappointed. The service staff for the food are excellent, appreciate their kindness and hospitality but hotel needs upgrading and a handful of key services. Like a lot of these fincas, completely isolated which is the point.... More

El Bosque Del Saman is a quiet country farm location to discover Colombias Eje Cafero, coffee country (this is NOT a resort-like property, despite some of the photos and descriptions). The highlight are the service and location--rugged green hills overlooking coffee and plantain plantations. The Coffee National Park, Salento, PANACA, and Cocora Valley are all accessible from here (20-60 min... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at el bosque del saman. Claudia could not have been more helpful, all other staff members were also more than happy to help. The coffee tour was great, very detailed explanations and we actually performed each step of the process. The zip lines are fun and a great way to get a birds eye view... More

We spent 3 nights in this beautiful hotel, the cabins in the bamboo forest is the most romantic place on earth. The canopy and extreme sports are a great alternative during the day and the private Jacuzzi in the balcony of the cabin was very romantic at night. The weather is always perfect and this is the perfect place if... More
