First, I stayed for 3 weeks there! I've felt like being in a small family! Jen and Felipe are so welcoming! They will make you feel comfortable as soon as you arrive with their beautifull smile and their overwhelming feeling of happiness! PLUS, they offer 3 meals for cheap prices! The food is just amazing and they have vegeterian options as well which are also super tasty! I played music a lot with Felipe and the other guests! It's the perfect place for those who wants to have a peacefull and quiet hostel far from the crowdy San Gill center! Also, they have 3 cats and 2 dogs which are sooo gentle! I truelly recommand this hostel! I also forgot my headphones there and they offered me to send it back to my home by post! Thank you Jen and Felipe!

I spent a wonderful 6 nights in La Casona Don Juan. It’s one corner from the main square, practically everything is in walking distance. The breakfast (which is included in the price) is delicious, a good amount and you have different options. You can also ask for extra veggies. There’s free coffee and tea available all day long. They serve various fast food until 9 pm, and there’s also a bar. All the staff members has been great, very kind and helpful with anything. They were calling me by my name after a couple of days :) A wide range of activities can be booked through them. The room was always clean, they clean them every day and even make your bed. It was also spacious with plenty of space to keep your stuff. Most of the beds in the dorms are single beds, not bunkbeds. They give you free towels. Lockers are available for free with keys. The bathrooms are well equipped and were always clean. There’s a large garden that acts as the biggest common area with very chill vibes.

Very helpful staff, the owner gives you a great overview of all possible activities and organizes any sign up with activity providers, and if needed follows up with them. We did rafting (definitely recommend the long tour with teenagers! Was a great experience) and paragliding (very experienced pilots) The hostel also organized a free evening of Tejo - a local game night out … try it !!! Free clean water as additional benefit! Outside areas at hostel is great to relax, eat or chat with others. Area around the hostel worth exploring as well

The hostel is absolutely beautiful. Bathrooms were clean, the food in the restaurant delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. They kept in touch even before my arrival and helped me to organize the trip from Bogotá to the hostel! It's a great place to hang out and relax. I found the transport to Barichara pretty relaxed. You can either walk to the main road for 15 minutes and take a bus that runs frequently or pay a bit more for a tuktuk to take you right from the hostel.

Claudia and her family are so warm and welcoming. My room was so comfortable and having TV with Netflix was a bonus! The kitchen has everything you need. There is a really nice atmosphere in the Hostel too.

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.

    This was one of my best Hostel experiences in 6 weeks of traveling in Colombia. Jane and Felipe go above and beyond to ensure that you enjoy your stay. I felt very welcome from the beginning. Their dogs are super sweet, too. Food is delicious. 100% recommend this place! :)

    Amazing staff, Viviana, Wiltor and Diego were all really nice and helpful with organising activities and just in general. The activities organised through the hostel were with companies that had good safety standards so worth the money. The hostel is in a great location, is clean and great value for money. The amenities are really good and they organise events in the evenings which is great to get to know people, one of our favourite hostels in Columbia.
