Jane and Felipe are the perfect hosts. They are generous, extremely hospitable and have the biggest hearts. The meals are the best we had in Colombia. The accompanying salads with our meals are bigger in portions than the salads we ordered at restaurants. Great location to hang out and relax for as long as we wanted. Quite possibly the best place we stayed and we have been travelling for the last two years.

Such a chill Hostel. The pod-style bed was insanely comfortable, the room and bathrooms were always clean. The breakfast is basic (eggs and bread) but I loved the fresh juices and fruits. The staff is soo lovely and helpful.

The place was very clean. Staff was very friendly, helpful, charismatic - just a very enjoyable place. They have a kitchen with all the things needed to cook. Location was great. A small store walking distance. I made friendships with other guests staying at Juan Palitos. I look forward to staying here again.

Nice people. The new cleaning lady was really sweet, and very helpful with me in the kitchen. Lots of different common spaces, including a roof terrace, and a ping pong table. Comfortable bunkbeds and lots of locker space. Each bunkbed had it's own electrical outlet, fan, reading light, and little shelf, which was really nice. Felt like a very safe neighborhood.

Perfectly located in a quiet street near the central plaza of the town. Beautiful property that has preserved architecture from colonial period and a touch of modernity (like the pool and well equipped communal kitchen). The walls of this hostel, like traditional houses of Barichara, are made with rocks and mud which keep the rooms cool during hot and dry days. Best price for a dorm bed compared to other hostel of this town!

I stayed in a private room for three or four days. Of all of the hostels in which I’ve stayed in South America, the staff here is the most helpful. They also organize activities and the general vibe is great. Very social, but not a loud party hostel. I can’t think of anything bad to say about the hostel.

This hostel is situation in the heart of Barichara, walking distance to everything in the quaint, beautiful town. The room exceeded our expectations as did the staff. Really enjoyed staying with the trip monkey hostel chain and would highly recommend.

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! :)

It is a great value for such place. I have stayed there more than a week because I wanted to retreat myself from last 2.5 months’ tiredness of traveling:) The hostel people are so friendly and hospitable. If you want to do activities, the hostel can arrange all kind of tours you can do around San Gil. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook. You can chill in the pool upstairs at a beautiful garden with the view of town. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity to go back to San Gil one day!

No glass windows. Never stayed in a hostel where all the doors and windows are open. It had the doors to circulate the air inside the bunks. Wonderful sleep. The best hostel I've ever stayed in.
