Maracuya Hostel, hotel in San Rafael

Located in San Rafael, 31 km from Piedra del Peñol, Maracuya Hostel provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace.

Farid and Juliana were exceptional hosts—so welcoming and friendly, they really made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived and they genuinely care about their guests. The hostel itself is spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay: the beds are cozy, the kitchen is fully equipped, and there’s even a space to hang out clothes which came in very handy. I highly recommend Maracuya Hostel! Thank you for making my first time in San Rafael so great!

Lake View Hostel, hotel in Guatapé

Featuring free WiFi, Lake View Hostel offers accommodation in Guatapé, 46 km from Medellín. You will find a 24-hour front desk at the property.

Stayed here for 3 nights over New Year. It is located a short distance from the centre and although close to everything it was very quiet and totally safe. The hostel is very clean, well maintained with an adequate kitchen and good WiFi. Nice eating area and communal zone with a balcony. Curtains around the beds in the dorms provides good privacy. I made a mistake in my booking and they allowed me to change my dates with less than 24 hours notice. Much appreciated. Diego was very helpful and speaks excellent English. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Tip: Take the bus to "La Piedra", 80% cheaper than a tuktuk.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We loved the idea of the ecohostel. Even though the attention to sustainability was clear, the rooms and restaurant were very well designed and kept. The employees were incredibly kind and welcoming. The location was just outside of San Rafael, an authentic Colombian Pueblo. River on the properly made made lovely sounds all the time.
