It felt like very tranquil, beautiful details of art and nature everywhere. The energy was very good and I met some awesome people!

The host

The bed. Too hard

The lady was not fair about the food. She asked if I wanted dinner. It was pasta with 2 spoons of tomato sauce from a pot (and nothing else but tomato) and a fried egg and it was the least value for money in my 5 months stay in Colombia. When I had to pay she said I had to pay for breakfast, but I showed her that it was included in the price. Then she raised the price for the dinner (she asked more than the price she said the day before). I really don't like if people try to cheat me! I don't recommend coming by motorcycle. You have to make a very sharp turn in the very steep hill and when it has rained it is very slippery!

The rooms were very spacious, Mariano is a very nice host and does his best to make sure you have a good experience. I was fairly sick with Dengue while staying at the property and they were attentive and looked out for me.

Everything has a price. I mean that nothing that Mariano does for you feels like its out of good will alone. My first night I was offered some left over Paella before dinner just to try...or so I thought. Two days later as we were calculating the bill I find out I was being charged for eating leftovers...only 20k, but still, had I known I wouldn'tve had any! It felt disingenuous...

The Bathtub on the balcony is great, the beds are comfy, it's quiet and the owner and staff is very nice :) I enjoyed the stay! Highly recommended if you want to relax a little.

There is not too much to do in the area, but that's nothing you can blame the owner for.

A lovely hostel with great hosts! They made me extremely comfortable, welcomed and well fed. The art and the foliage at this hostel are amazing! each room had its own theme and everything you needed. Stay here to enjoy the natural beauty that this country has to offer!

It was everything and more! No complaints, whatsoever!

great hide away place with great staff - you can literally feel & see that it‘s the owners heart he put and puts in this awesome place! beside that he and his housekeeper cici do everything in their power to help you and make your stay as comfortable as possible…

The lady of the house (CiCi) was very attentive and detail oriented. The man of the house is very kind and welcoming. When I first met him he said, "Welcome Home"! The grounds, art, and décor was amazing. They can arrange a driver to take you wherever you care to go (Jaun.....hes super nice and a great driver!) The man of the house designed, built, and decorated the house. He (Mariano) even brought me a bottle of wine and serenaded me with his guitar. There are two great dogs as well ! I enjoyed exploring on foot in the area neighborhood. It was a very beautiful relaxing stay.

I believe travelers would appreciate telling them that when you offer them food, it will be an additional charge. I felt like the lady of the house was offering food that she had on hand and expecting me to eat. She seemed unhappy when I did not eat all the food she had given me. Then when I was preparing to leave I found out that I was being charged for the food . It was a bit surprising. I did not get to select the food; it was food taken from a pot previously cooked.

Staying at the Secret Buddha was perfect. Mariano and his friends are lovely! You can learn so much just talking to them. If you take the time to visit the local area you will get to see Medellin from the eyes of Colombians 10/10
