The family lives there. I was not happy with the place at all they are to relaxed and do it your self attitude Small rooms, hot in the day and if you want to get breakfast good luck in sitting because all the long term guests sit on the one table and stay there for hours. They offer massage service on the profile and that’s not true. It’s really not my cup of tea at all. The little creek is to dirty to even stick your feet in. Dog are wonderful that’s about it. Not for kids or for big families or for romantic stays. I would think of this as a hostel not a hotel. ##### mabel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gloria 27 Feb 2026 Disliked: Amenities Terrible 😣 ##### Gloria Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anja 14 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Man lebt praktisch mit der Familie zusammen, mitten in einem kleinen Paradies!

Estás de verdad en una finca en medio de todo verde con sonido de agua del río que pasa por la propiedad. El agua de la propiedad es de ese río y la filtran para tomar, los huevos del desayuno son de sus gallinas y tienen una salsa de ají muy buena echa con ajis de la finca. Lo único que peca este lugar es el Internet ya que es como una conexión de celular compartida con todos los huéspedes y solo sirve para enviar mensajes. Para más hay que ir a Salento. Yo tenía Claro y si llegaba bien la señal de Internet movil. Para ir a Salento tardarás como 20 minutos más el tiempo en que pasa el autobús. Es bastante fácil y el camino de la parada del autobús a la finca en su mayoría está iluminado en la noche. De regreso te vas a la terminal de autobuses de Salento y ahí lo tomas de vuelta, el último parece ser a las 9pm pero el fin de semana si se llenan por lo que hay que ir antes. Si eres de ciudad pues no vayas a la finca, si te gusta lo verde y el campo es aquí. Me organizaron transporte desde el aeropuerto. ![Desayuno en área abierta](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9C8E207D30C537AC00682CF916C96CB33AFD88171723345786869.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/278CA2F1795931FAE210089E1A3CA6A874CB5BA11723345795359.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Ají ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B0C5372EB794109335B425E7F1CD6574FB9A94C11723345787482.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B6F3E0B1EDDD8759BBE38CE1103BEAF82BD330A31723345794314.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Roberto Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pedro 16 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities La tranquilidad no tiene precio, la sensación de libertad, ese contacto con la naturaleza, la paz, el paisaje, todo una hermosa, definitivamente voy a volver ##### Pedro Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar 21 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lugar muy agradable, un paraíso , se siente en familia ##### Oscar Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Un lugar maravilloso, lleno de naturaleza, Tranquilidad, el personal super atento, siempre amables, se siente como en casa.

Die Lage ist fantastisch und man hat einen herrlichen Ausblick. Ed und deine Familie geben einem das Gefühl, willkommen zu sein und stehen jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Das Abendessen sowie die abendlichen Runden mit den anderen Gästen waren immer ein toller Ausklang des Tages. Ich kann den Aufenthalt jedem nur empfehlen! Wir waren vier Nächte da und hätten noch gut länger bleiben können. Ein Ausflug ins Corcora Valley und auch die Hiking Tracks zu den Kaffeefarmen bieten einen wundervollen Ausblick in einem sehr angenehmen Klima. ##### Linda Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unieke plek, schitterende omgeving.

Llegamos tarde al Refugio así que no nos quedó otra alternativa que pasar la noche allí pero bastantes disconformes ya que por una habitación con baño privado nos cobraban $135000 pesos colombianos y por la habitación con baño compartido nos cobraron $120000\. Cuando estábamos haciendo la reserva, las habitaciones con baño compartido costaban $90000 por lo que no nos gustó para nada lo cobrado, además de no cumplir con lo que habíamos reservado nos cobraron muy caro por algo que no lo valía, una pena por que el lugar es bonito. El Refugio Puente Explanación queda a unos 6 km del pueblo de Salento y en el pueblo están todos los lugares para comer y la mayoría del movimiento turístico, el transporte público funciona hasta las 21 hs por lo que llegar al alojamiento es un problema si no tenés auto, ya que el bus te deja en la ruta y luego toca caminar 1 km hasta el hospedaje, lo mismo para salir, pasadas las 21 hs no hay otra opción que pagar transporte privado y cuesta caro, $20000. ##### Darío Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 3 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tranquil Garden of chill.

This little piece of paradise just outside of Salento is ideal if you are the kind of traveler that enjoys peace and quietness. The reception is very hospitable and the breakfast is excellent. We highly recommend to do the coffee tour on foot, leaving from the Refugio. ##### Christophe Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Grand Sirenis San Andres](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Andres-Hotels-Grand-Sirenis-San-Andres.h47010877.Hotel-Information) > - [Cheap Hotels in Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d5621-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [BubbleSky Glamping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Retiro-Hotels-BubbleSky-Glamping.h88969573.Hotel-Information) > - [Beraka Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Villa-De-Leyva-Hotels-Beraka-Boutique.h101859170.Hotel-Information) > - [Samakwa Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paipa-Hotels-Hotel-Samakwa.h108506136.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Kepez](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kepez-Antalya-Hotels.0-n6319990-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Oswestry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oswestry-Hotels.d181027.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Tilos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tilos-Hotels.d6048060.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Blackburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackburn-Hotels.d4573.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotel Zafiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leticia-Hotels-Hotel-Zafiro.h26556790.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B East Riding of Yorkshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Riding-Of-Yorkshire-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6048820-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Finca Hotel La Manuela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Armenia-Hotels-Finca-Hotel-La-Manuela.h35180548.Hotel-Information) > - [RIO HOTEL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leticia-Hotels-RIO-HOTEL.h103485857.Hotel-Information) > - [El Bosque Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Triunfo-Hotels-El-Bosque-Boutique-Hotel.h90864043.Hotel-Information) > - [Caraná](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Armenia-Hotels-Carana.h16699168.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Karlovy Vary (KLV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/klv/london-to-karlovy-vary) > - [Flights from Corballis (DUB) to Chantilly (IAD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/iad/dublin-to-washington) > - [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Norresundby (AAL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/aal/manchester-to-aalborg) ### Cars > - [Car hire in Newcastle-upon-Tyne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.d6084526.Car-Hire-Guide) > - [Hertz Destinations In Massachusetts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Destinations-In-Massachusetts.d223-c40.Car-Rental-Destination-Suppliers) ### Activities ### Packages > - [Croatia Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Croatia.d43.Holidays-City-Breaks) > - [Guanabara Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guanabara-Bay-Rio-de-Janeiro.d6222737.Attraction) ---
