Kamers zijn simpel maar komen helemaal overeen met de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. Wordt in de ochtend een prima ontbijtje voor je gemaakt. Naast gelegen dorp is rustig en voorzien van een paar prima restaurantjes. Zijn één dag zelfstandig de rode woestijn gaan lopen en met een gids (geadviseerd door het hotel) de grijze woestijn. Een heel bijzonder gebied dat we niet hadden willen missen deze reis.

Truly an oasis. Colorful, full of plants and very private. The accomodation was clean, the bathroom was so nice and it felt very comfortable and intimate. I highly recommend the place. You can walk to everywhere in the village and the dogs there are the sweetest. Thanks again!

Communication with the owners is worthless. They only speak Spanish and make no effort to speak English or use a translation app. At night the animals make noise all night long and in the meantime you are eaten by the insects that can easily enter through all the cracks in the walls. There are no mosquito nets so all the insects will sting you all night long. The owners are liars who abuse the goodwill of the clients. They promise a tour that is 40,000 COP and during the tour you are told that it is 100,000 COP. We also bought a tour of 100,000 COP per person to the grey desert and the natural swimming pool, but when we arrived in the grey desert we still had to pay an entrance fee to the desert and the swimming pool. The guide of our ordered tour would also speak some English, according to the owners, and would guide us through the desert with a translation app. However, the guide did not speak a word of English and did not make any effort to use a translation app. 100,000 COP per person for this tour is pure theft. It is better to book a cheaper and better tour with a recognized organization where the guide speaks English. The taxi companies drive to Villavieja from Neiva for 85,000 COP. The accommodation charges 100,000 COP and dumps you in an illegal old junk car where the trunk cannot even be opened and your luggage is dumped on the seats. Theft again. Don't be fooled by the friendly smile of the owners, because he will rob you right in front of you.

We arrived by ferry in the motorcycle, so they were so kind to give us instructions to move around without a guide.
