Guest Reviews

• NORBEY CORREAL VARGAS (10/5): Excelente Hotel - Las cabañas son hermosas, modestas y muy cómodas. Se siente mucha paz en el ambiente. No tengo quejas
• Fernando (9/5): -
• Liz (10/5): Great place in San Augustin - Beautiful room (tipi) and beautiful gardens full of birds. Comfortable, clean - good shower and bed - staff were super helpful and friendly. A bit out of the centre (15 min walk - bit more coming back as it’s uphill!) but lovely and peaceful. Food good and reasonably priced. Good base for exploring all the archeological parks in the area - highly recommended! Nothing!
• Hernandez (10/5): -
• BEN (10/5): The attention to detail was incredible. The staff did everything possible to make the stay enjoyable - Spotlessly clean. The staff were wonderful. The food was incredible value and very tasty! Nothing
• Sergio (7/5): Lindo lugar que te acerca a la naturaleza. Buenas instalaciones y buena relación costo beneficio. Solo recomendaría pone - Lindo lugar y ecológico Los mosquitos, debería haber mosquiteros El agua tan sucia.
• Alexander (9/5): Excelente - la tranquilidad la ducha
• Martin (9/5): - Wunderschöner Garten. Gebäude aus Bambus, interessante Architektur. Frühstück und Abendessen sehr gut.
• Lizeth (10/5): Excelente estadía y ubicación - El lugar es hermoso
• Norbert (6/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Hütten sehr originell und der Garten wunderschön. Leider kam sehr viel Lärm von einer Motocross Strecke in der Nähe. Es war sehr störend.
• Castillo (8/5): -
• Elkin (8/5): - En un principio no me dieron la opción de escojer la cabaña más acorde , mi familia no era numerosa como para la primera cabaña asignada
• Katherine (10/5): - Sí tranquilidad, espacios muy acogedores, excelente servicio del personal
• Albert (8/5): Alojamiento en entorno precioso aparentemente aislado - Alojamiento en entorno precioso y cabañas muy acogedoras. El desayuno es un extra a precio muy económico y vale mucho la pena (la mejor arepa de queso que hemos comido en 3 semanas). La opción de cena en el Club adyacente al alojamiento es conveniente, ya que el alojamiento no está cerca de ningún otro lugar. El aislamiento térmico es mejorable, pero no es un problema, ya que se ofrecen mantas. Sin embargo, el ruido nocturno del Club hasta las 5:00 el sábado por la noche nos impidió dormir como es debido.
• Ramiro (10/5): It was wonderful. - The grounds, the vegetation and The room was very nice and comfortable. Quite peaceful. The staff was very friendly and polite. Breakfast was well served and delicious. I enjoyed every minute. Nothing
• Jose Alejandro (10/5): -
• Natalie (10/5): Wunderschön! Eine Oase mit viel Liebe zum Detail und sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Personal. Sehr empfehlenswert! - Extrem schön gelegen. Ruhig im Wald und toll mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet!
• Beckydodmanwainwright (10/5): Thank you 😊 - The cleanliness of the accommodation and friendly staff. Club Maco was brilliant. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We thought the breakfast was included but it wasn't. However, happy to pay as it was all so delicious.
• silvia lupi (7/5): - In the nature For sure it s beautiful in the dry season Breakfast very good Staff very helpfull Laundry service The room was too humid...our lineen were wet and the smell inside of the bungalow was terribile because of the humidity We definitly got there in the wrong time after too much rain
• Nathan (9/5): Superb -
• Hristo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christopher (7/5): Good -
• Ruth (9/5): Superb - The thoughtfulness of the staff as I had a bad cold and they provided some botanicals to help my recovery. Lovely garden, birds appear. Food home cooked and excellent.
• Sebastián (1/5): Bad -
• Braun (10/5): El Maco - It was a great pleasure to stay at the Finca El Maco and it could not have been a more pleasant experience. I especially enjoyed the overall concept of El Maco with all its elements working well together, but also the well thought through attention that has been given in design, construction, and most of all the attitude and quality of service by the staff and team. Thank you!! The only fact I didn't like is that I had to leave too early....but I will be back again.... Blessings!! And
• Kurt (10/5): Exceptional - The room we had (the ecolodge) was one of the best rooms we ever had - anywhere in the world - after 30 years of travelling. Cute, quirky, beautiful, large (it is three rooms in one, including a large living room), comfortable and super nice. And it has a terrace where you can see the humming birds come to find their flowers - really close. Great staff as well.
• Travelally (10/5): Exceptional - This place is a dream. The loacation is stunning (though, yes, quite the walk up the hill), the staff are amazingly lovely, the accomodations rustic in decor but super clean and comfy, and the food tasty and incredibly well priced. I absolutely loved my stay!
• L. (10/5): Fairytale accommodation - Finca el Maco was an absolute surprise. I booked the 2 bedroom house with a king size bed and spa bath. It looked like a fairytale house, something out of Disney World. The interior decoration was amazing. The house had a big balcony with a spa bath, umbrella, lounger and chairs. The bed felt like sleeping on a cloud and we slept with open doors to the balcony. It was nice and cool and we were not bothered by mosquitos. There is a mosquito net but we didn't use it. There was complimentary fruit. The house was surrounded by trees. We stayed here for 2 days and easily could have stayed longer. We had one lunch and two dinners at the restaurant and it was phenomenal. There is no washing machine for guests to use, but they will do your washing for a fee (cheaper than hotels). The staff were very friendly and helpful, but they don't speak any English. They have a fridge filled with beer and cold drinks. You can take as you like and just write it up in a book to be added to your bill at the end of your stay. My sister and I did a comprehensive 34 day tour of Colombia and at the end of the holiday we drew up a list of "bests". Finca El Maco was the winner in 3 categories... The most beautiful accommodation, the most comfortable bed and the best restaurant. The bar fridge in the living area had a strong gas smell when you opened the door.
• Michiel (7/5): Friendly and helpfull people - Friendly and helpfull staff. Willing to help with tours. Good food, very reasonable priced The lodge with the jacuzzi didn’t have hot water, that was a pity. We were compensated with 1 free night and 1 free dinner. That was very generous. English language skills at reception are very limited.
• Matija (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ralph (10/5): Exceptional - Jolanda is a queen host. See all other reviews, and just visite this wonderfull place.
• Eloïse (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anita (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angela (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the atmosphere and the peace and quiet
• Sonia (10/5): Exceptional - Really excellent stay, great value for money. - The place is lovely, quiet and peaceful, with a lush garden and a nice common area (books, games and table tennis). - Our bungalow was comfortable and spacious - Shower was hot & with good pressure - Wifi worked great. - Host was super friendly and helpful. We also had dinner and breakfast at their restaurant, good selection, decent prices and the food was really tasty. Not really a downside for us, but be prepared for quite a steep walk up from the main road - however, it's the same for most of the places we saw around San Agustin :) Only thing that wasn't all that great was the horseback riding tour we booked via the accommodation - the guide was friendly, but the horses seemed like they could've been better taken care of, and one of our horses occasionally refused to follow commands.
• Conor (10/5): Perfect stay, beautiful location and superb host - The farm is a beautiful property, very well maintained and in a good location slightly out of town (15 min walk). Yolanda was an exceptional host, she made our stay most comfortable, we were upgraded to a bigger room and she ensured we had everything we needed when using the kitchen. We had multiple coffees, a breakfast and dinner in the restaurant which were all great respectively. We also love the sustainable approach at the hotel.
• Riah (10/5): Relaxing and welcoming - We arrived quite late after a long bus journey and Yolanda greeted us and made us some yummy pasta even though the restaurant was closed. She also upgraded us to a better room :) The accommodation is slightly out of town which makes it really relaxing and peaceful. We loved the natural pool nearby too. It’s a steep walk up to the property!
• Carla (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! This was the best hotel ever. The garden is a little piece of paradise, the cabins are lovely, comfortable and clean. The restaurant is also really good. But, what make this place great is the staff! Yolanda was always available to help us with everything, including organizing a horseback riding tour or giving us recommendations for nice walks in the area! We did not want to leave...
• Markus (7/5): Good - Located upon a hill in nature. Good food in the restaurant. Cozy rooms fitted into nature. Bathroom is open, so insects come in. The bathroom is surrounded by windows but only one side has curtains. The breakfast was too late at 7:30 so you could not eat before a day trip or before taking the bus. No mosquito net.
• Rhiannon (9/5): Superb - Surrounded by nature is a top selling point for this place. Staff were helpful, and the food was great.
• Lotta (10/5): Exceptional - The food is amazing (vegetarian options available, try the tomato soup), the staff is extremely helpful and friendly and our room (which really was a house) was just perfect. There is an outdoor kitchen you can use. We felt so comfortable that we didn’t want to leave in the end :)
• Roberta (10/5): If you love tthe outdoors and kind , helpful staff, this is the best. - The gardens, waking up to singing birds, the wonderful staff, the food, the location, there's not anything I didn't like. I liked everything. It is rustic so if you are used to something fancier, you might not like it. I'm fine with the nice showers but the floor gets slippery because there is no way to keep it dry.
• Carrie (10/5): Everything we had hoped for for our Colombian adventure.. - Beautiful property, relaxing environment, and the staff was amazing (especially the lady at the front desk, very helpful). Excellent breakfast. Walkable to town snd the archaeological site. Nothing. it was great. If you like to walk, just be aware the road back up to the finca from town is really steep. Perfect for us because we love a workout.
• Stefano (9/5): gorgeous bungalows in nature near archeological park - gorgeous bungalows in nature! very friendly staff. very close to the archeological park a bit further from the center of San Agustin, which can be reached by taxi easily. beware that there is practically no hot water
• Trevor (9/5): Superb -
• Patrick (10/5): Great stay wish I could have stayed longer.I’ll be back - The staff is awesome . They did everything the help me feel comfortable. I’d go back just to visit with the m
• Sergio (10/5): Amazing place. Recommended - We loved everything, the service was great, they were really helpful at all times, the food was also delicious. It is really different and quiet experience but we enjoyed it a lot. And also we recommend the bar, the vibes and the games are really good
• Martina (10/5): Amazing stay in the nature! all magic - absolutely stunning. we stayed in the room in the garden. quiet and peaceful and stay in the nature was magic!! highly recommended for couple as it’s a very romantic accommodation. nothing
