Simple but great for disconnecting

Great host and location; very close to nature with lots of animals, plants and a great view of the sky; observatory and restaurants in walking distance; communication was great and various tours/activities that can be organized; very good for disconnecting, even though there is a TV and cellular reception

Very remote and simple, but still nice

Rooms were lovely, pool was nice and clean. Amazing view of the night skies. Food on site was ok, standard Colombian food. Host arranged a tour for us through the deserts which was great.

Incredible stay in the heart of Tatacoa

Absolutely fantastic property but you need to have the right expectations. The water and electricity are scarce. The accomodation is rustic and has open holes close to the roof so creepy crawlies can be encountered and obviously sound proofing is not the best. But the location is incredible, very close to the "red zone" of Tatacoa and the observatories. Our cottages were spotless and the hotel is well maintained and secure. The food was delicious and we enjoyed hanging out in the open restaurant having a few beers at night. The value for money was excellent and we would definitely visit again.

We had a nice and relaxing stay!

It was a peaceful place to stay at in the middle of the desert, so you can fully enjoy the tranquility of the environment.

The site was beautiful: right in the desert. Mirella kept the place spotlessly clean and served good food and beer. The bed was comfortable and there was a fan in the room which was very welcome in the heat. The pool is lovely.

rural retreat in desert

we loved the pool, the stars and the rural location created a nice space to relax and feel the atmosphere of the desert. it is close to observatory, red and grey deserts. we were lucky because weather was good so the road to property was dry but it could be tricky to drive in wet weather. cabins were very rustic and luckily they have mosquito nets over beds. there were three young men working on site who were very friendly and always there to help with anything.

A lovely place to stay to visit Tatacoa - the room was incredibly clean and comfortable, the area was peaceful and the breakfast was great. We arrived mid-morning after an overnight bus and our host very kindly made us breakfast despite it being long after breakfast time! Plus there are cute dogs and lots of birds to keep you entertained!

-great secluded location -every request we had the owners attended too -the entire hotel is run off solar energy which really adds to the experience -the secluded location makes the view of the stars incredible
