“Affordable accommodation in the desert near the observatory”

I stayed at this guesthouse located in the desert, right in front of one of the astronomy observatories. I visited during the low season, I was kindly allocated a private room with a bathroom. The room was clean and comfortable. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, especially in adapting the meals to my vegan diet. The food offered was tasty, affordable, and well-prepared. A vegan lunch/dinner (rice, salad, fries, and avocado) cost 10,000 COP, and breakfast with coffee and banana was just 2,000 COP — very fair prices in my opinion. They also sell cold water and a few snacks, although it's recommended to bring your own. The room had a fan, which I didn’t use because it didn’t seem to work when I tested it — but I believe it was my mistake, as I should have asked them to turn on the power to the socket. The bathroom was clean and met my needs. The shower didn’t have hot water, but considering the high desert temperatures, I didn’t mind at all. I visited during the week (Tuesday and Wednesday on August), so the guesthouse was very quiet. I’m not sure how that affects the overall experience, but for me, it was peaceful and relaxing. I definitely recommend staying here!

“Good budget stay, and good location.”

Super friendly staff and super good value for money. Its right next to the red desert The facilities are a bit more simple and its next to the road, bit concidering the location and budget it’s really good.

“This isn’t a luxury option but it will do the job with great hosts and homemade food.”

Great location and helpful pleasant owners. They will help you with everything you need in the area. Great food home cooked.

“The stay at Posada la tranquilidad was very nice. The prices were super affordable, the food was tasty and the staff was”

the price was very good and the food was nice and affordable. the staff is very friendly and the athmosphere is nice.

“Pleasant”

Well located near Astrosur and red desert. I got a room with bathroom and a fan to keep mosquitoes away. Staff was friendly.

“Perfectly fine for one night”

Great location between the red and grey desert areas and across the street from one of the observatories. Breakfast and dinner available. Room had everything I needed for the night (besides soap! But I had my own). Beautiful spot for watching the sun set and rise. Reasonably priced and think I might have been upgraded to a private room instead of the dorm I reserved

“Enjoyed our stay a lot and we would definitely come back”

- They offer quite good food especially for breakfast and dinner for a really fair price - Located really close to the red desert and really nice ambience - really nice stuff, who helped us with everything - we stayed in a room for two people and had comfortable beds, and electricity in our room

The owners were very friendly and accommodating: they gave us a private room when we booked a dorm as there was no one else there, helped with transportation out of the desert and cooked breakfast and dinner for us for a small additional cost.

Got a private room for the cheapest fare and was allowed to check-in very early (9 a.m.) and check-out very late (3 p.m.). Food reasonably priced (breakfast 10k, lunch & dinner 20k, water 4k). Room was clean and with running water 24/7. Transport back to town for 20k.

“Lovely host”

The location is really nice quite close by walk to trails in the Tatacoa desert. We got a nice small room with a king size bed. Everything was clean. The host was very nice. She made free coffee and agreed to leave our backpacks after checkout and when we finished the trail she gave us wonderful lemonade and taxi service to the city.

“Value for money and kind people”

The location is convenient. The red desert is in walking distance. The food was tasty and the prices very reasonable. The staff was very helpful and kind. They also offer transportation from and to Neiva for a very good price. There is not WIFI but there is 4G signal, not very strong but OK. The room was clean and had all the basics. Big BONUS: they offer free coffee (tinto) all day.

The location on booking that was indicated was incorrect by many kilometers and we had a lot of trouble finding the place.

“Accesible budget option”

I stayd alone in the room with private bathroom, good combination of quality and price in this location. Close to desierto rojo.

Beautiful hostel, very well located too... In the middle of the Tatacao desert! Guests are allowed to use the kitchen.

“Great value for money. The room was simple but with private bathroom which was clean and just alright. The stuff was hel”

Located centrally, close to the observatory and other restaurants, within walking distance from red dessert. The host was helpful to arrange tuk-tuks for getting around.

“Posada la Tranquilidad”

Location is right between the red and grey deserts and across the street from a nice astronomy spot. Very cheap. Very quiet and peaceful. The guy is super friendly and helpful.

Very nice room for a great price Some hammocks Walking distance to the red desert Rented a moto for one hour to visit the grey desert

“Bad experience”

location good

“if you’re only paying $2 a night it’s worth it to be close to the observatory”

close to the observatory so you don’t have to walk at night and walking distance to red desert
