“Lovely place, very well located, warm and friendly hosts who go above and beyond.”
Very lovely hosts, beautiful gardens, lots of space. Very close to the observatory. Well located in between both the grey and the red desert. Hosts were super helpful when we had transport difficulties!

“A lovely oasis in the desert, recommended.”
Great location, friendly and helpful hosts who arranged a desert tour and bike hire for us. Cute cabins and a lovely tranquil garden with hammocks.

We had an amazing stay at this Tatacoa Desert accommodation! The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was beautiful and authentic, perfectly capturing the charm of the desert. The food was excellent, and the location was ideal—right in the middle of both the grey and red parts of the desert. Everything was just perfect, and we highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. Truly an unforgettable experience!

Wonderful accomodation very close to the main attractions in the desert (walking distance from the red desert and planetarium). Great place to relax for a while after a day in the desert, with many hammocks and rocking chairs. Very nice hosts! The food was good and the room was much more comfortabele than we expected, also not too hot at night. Definitely recommend staying in the desert vs Villavieja :)

Unique stay in the desert! The food was tasty and we enjoyed our tour of the red and grey desert. Really close to the observatory and a couple of restaurants if you don't want to eat at the accommodation. The communal areas were great!

“Great and perfect stay!”
Our stay was exceptional. We enjoyed the quiet location and the experience of sleeping in the desert. The location was close to the two deserts and the observatorium. The owner was very helpful and kind. Food was always freshly made and delicious. We could feel the love and passion of the owners and felt home.

“Enjoy the desert from here”
Great location, good for visiting the red and grey deserts. Friendly staff, good food, and plentiful good coffee. The hammocks were great for resting to escape the midday heat. It's best to start the day early before it gets too hot. The hosts were good at organizing transport and horse rides in the desert. Look out for the birds and the local iguana!

Great hosts and guide. Very simple but cozy structure in the middle of the desert. Not far from the observatory and very well organized for any requests, from transportation to tour or meal. Strongly suggest if you're looking for a trip in Desierto de la Tatacoa.

“I had a great time. I loved the rooms, the atmosphere and the staff.”
The location was superb, as well as the staff's attentiveness. It was calm, peaceful and comfortable. Don't expect too much, ultimately it is in the middle of the desert: Internet, running water and restaurants are scarce, but the experience is worth it every cent.

Basic but has everything you need. Amazing and kind hosts that cooked some of the best Colombian food I’ve had in a whole month of travelling the country. Very helpful with no matter what our questions and requests were. Easily surpassed my expectations!

“Decent place to spend two nights at most.”
The staff was very nice and accommodating. The food was also good, though they don’t really have a menu. For dinner you only choose protein (fish, chicken or vegetarian), and they served with rice and salad. The fish was excellent.

“Amazing place to stay in tatacoa desert”
This is a fantastic place to stay. The staff are extremely helpful, always willing to offer advice and tips. They arranged our transport from Neiva bus station. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the closest observatory, 20 minute walk to the start of the red desert walking trail, and 30 minute cycle to the grey desert trail and swimming pool. They have bikes in good condition at the hotel so it was great to hire them and go for a cycle! The food here is also great, with good vegetarian options. I thoroughly recommend! The only thing to note is there is no wifi in the rooms or communal area. Also note the rooms are basic but this is normal for this area of the desert.
