“The perfect digital detox”

Incredible service and very kind hosts. Cami was amazing and the whole staff were very kind. Very comfortable, tranquil retreat in beautiful nature and great food!

Wow. One of the most amazing places I've ever stayed in. Beautifully built, right in the middle of nature and peaceful despite being just off the road (so you can easily get a bus or taxi there). The place is a bit below the road and it's very quiet, the only sound is the rushing of the river which the property leads to. We took the cabin with a leaf roof and it was super comfortable, lovely bed, nicely designed, beautiful views over the hills/forest from the balcony and the bathroom. Food: fantastic. Varied, fresh, very tasty and reasonable prices. Varied drinks menu. The best thing though was the family that runs black pearl, and the staff and volunteers - kind, attentive and interesting. The owners have a little toddler who took our toddler on a tour of the vegetable garden. It was just totally perfect, I couldn't recommend it enough!

We had a wonderful stay here with our children (2.5 and 5 years old). For us, it was the perfect place to unwind after spending several days in Medellín. The accommodations are basic, but the other facilities are very good. The toilet and shower building is always clean and offers a lovely hot shower. There is also a great area with comfortable hammocks, and you can sit and relax at the restaurant as well. Breakfast is served at the restaurant, with a daily choice of two options. The staff were very willing to adjust the breakfast to our wishes or to those of our children. It is also possible to have lunch, dinner, and drinks at the restaurant. The staff is incredibly friendly and thoughtful, always happy to help with any request. We highly recommend looking into the tours they offer. We did the cacao tour, which was adapted to suit our children at our request, making it a relaxed and enjoyable morning for all of us. We also loved the private river directly next to the property and the animals on the grounds—dogs, a horse, ducks, and beautiful birds. It was truly a wonderful nature experience. Tip: be sure to bring mosquito repellent. The kids really enjoyed playing at the property. This accommodation is a bit more remote, but for us it was absolutely worth it. If you are looking to experience peace and nature in beautiful Colombia, for example after visiting Medellín or the more touristy Guatapé, this is the place to go. We would definitely return!

“Great place in the nature with lovely personal.”

Super place to switch off! Right next to a river where you can cool off.

“I found paradise”

Heavenly location, people,food,massage,animals. A real getaway. Could have sat on our balcony forever listening to the river below, the sound of the birds. Had one of the best massages ever on it. Highly recommend.

“If you need some time to relax and disconnect this is an absolute must! My saviour place in all of Columbia so far! The”

The property is amazing, lush greenery everywhere with such interesting birds and monkeys to watch with a private river right out the back

“A natural paradise with great food, fantastic facilities and amazing energy”

It’s nothing short of a paradise driven by ecologically motivated people with amazing energy! The rooms are super clean and very uniquely built with as much organic material as possible. The beds are made of bamboo! The food is super good quality and there are great options! Just one minutes walk leads to the river where it’s possible to enjoy it completely by yourself or with the other guests. The surrounding area is stunning!

“All the nature but with all the comforts”

truly a paradise - would gladly return. Stayed for 2 nights but more would have been excellent - best breakfasts we’ve had on our travels - hosts so friendly - hearing the river, frogs and crickets to go to sleep was bliss. No traffic noise - cabins are small but comfortable. The best night’s sleep we’d had in a while (new mattresses, comfortable temperature etc) - Wifi worked well - communal area is really nice to relax in - lots of walks, rivers and waterfalls to explore locally. We went tubing too which would recommend - showers and toilets were really high quality (hot water even!). The best we’d used in quite a while which is impressive considering it is quite remote

Came to stay a second time loving it so much ! Just as amazing as the first time ! Love adrian and the cute staff and everything here !

Everything is perfect Europeen standart of a cuisine. Super clean. Not to mention the place itself is a paradise ye? By the way Probabaly the best doorms bed and pillow i had in 34 countries ..

“I will return.”

The atmosphere of tranquiliy was a refreshing escape from the normal humdrum.

“Wonderful place, recommended!”

Stunning location, peaceful, delicious food, friendly staff. I left my glasses behind and they were so kind to send them back to me. Thanks!

“Nice ecohostel”

It is a beautiful location on a mountain slope with access to a river. The bathroom is very clean and it has warmwater! It is nice to see all their pets (including the little ducks in the duckpond and Paola the horse), wild birds and monkeys around the place. It has a good restaurant.

“Amazing Host Amazing place Amazing Food. Little peace of heaven thank you”

Everything

“Highly recommended: Green paradise”

Amazing location, perfect for a relaxed stay in the nature. Super friendly and helpful staff, and amazing facilities. Everything was clean and taken care of. Would always go again

“Amazing place to enjoy Colombia.”

Amazing place. Very green, very spacious, amazing private river access, nice and very helpful staff, good food, simply put just amazing. Better than the pictures. If you are planning to go to Guatapé/San Rafael, and you want to have an amazing place to relax, stay and enjoy. Go here.

Lovely location next to the river, many waterfalls nearby. Peaceful and great food.

A gem! I stayed in one of the small huts: super comfy bed, super clean, enough power sockets and lights. And amazing to sleep to the sounds of nature and the nearby river. The location is super nice, including the company of the horse, dogs and ducks. The staff was very friendly, and they have a list of activities around the hostel, but you can also chill out in one of the hammocks or chill in the river next to the hostel. And the food was one of the best veggie/vegan options I had on my whole trip!

“Absolutely idyllic place! Gorgeous nature, cutest animals, delicious food and friendliest staff!”
