Guest Reviews
- Brent (10/5): - Een hele fijne plek om tot rust te komen. Veel mooie natuur, uitzichten en dieren die af en toe een kijkje komen nemen. Carlos zorgde heel erg goed voor ons. Top host! Ook al is ons spaans niet geweldig deed hij veel moeite om ons thuis te laten voelen. Bedankt Carlos! \
- Lady (10/5): Un excelente lugar y Carlos una gran persona - Todo, la atención de Carlos, el acompañamiento, la ayuda, todo espectacular. Lo recomiendo al 100%. N/A
- Natalia (8/5): Perfecto para reconectar con la naturaleza -
- ALEXANDRA (9/5): Acogedor - La ubicación permite descansar tranquilo, es un paraje acogedor y lo mejor es pet friendly. No es que no me haya gustado, es que considero podría tener: 1. Que el agua de la ducha saliera un tris más caliente, hace mucho frío. 2. Quizás un espacio para fogata sería increíble.
- Gustav (8/5): - The location is great although it is a pain to get there and back to Medellin. Nice staff and good breakfast. Good facilities and clean.
- JArias (9/5): - Lovely place Single mattress in 3 person room was too hard.
- Sandy (10/5): - Me encantaron las instalaciones y la atención. Definitivamente volvería y lo recomiendo un 1000 de 10 Sin comentarios
- Luis (10/5): -
- cala (10/5): - Hospitalidad, tranquilidad, paz, conexión con la naturaleza

- CEberl (9/5): I was surprised at the variety of birds. With more birder presence, I'm sure more species will show. - Very cute place. Carlos was particularly welcoming and, as a birder, I was thrilled when he accompanied me on an early morning excursion to the Mirador to show me where the trails were, and where I could see the best birds. Muchas Gracias! I was surprised at the variety of birds. With more birder presence, I'm sure more species will show. Lots of outlets in the rooms, bed had lots of blankets which was important given how cold it was. The previous tenant warned me the water was not very hot, but with the water heating system, the higher the volume you run, the more it is diluted with cold water. So just turn the flow volume down and you'll have a cozy shower! Like all Colombian beds....way too hard for my comfort!
- Julian (8/5): Noche en santa helena - Silencio, atencion.
- Jenny (9/5): - La atención del persona estupenda, el señor Carlos buen anfitrión, pendiente de los requerimientos. La comida estuvo rica. El espacio permite una conexión estrecha con la naturaleza, recomendado para quienes buscan alejarse del ruido de las ciudades. Tener en cuenta temas de mantenimiento en la habitación.
- Cristian (10/5): -
- Cristian (10/5): - La atención del anfitrión, la tranquilidad del lugar y todo en general, un lugar adecuado para desconectar. Muy recomendado
- Zulma Solange (9/5): En el refigio consegui la paz que buscaba - La ubicacion es excelente, cerca al mirador turistico, cerca al pueblo, con acceso a domicilios y a servicios de taxi. El lugar es hermoso, el clima super agradable. Los anfitriones son muy amables. Se experimenta una gran paz en medio del bosque con los sonidos de la naturaleza, Hermoso el avistamiento de pajaros y ardillas. Podria sugerir que tuvieran lamparas mata insectos y que iluminaran mas el area social para disfrutala de noche, como la cocina y el comedor que si tienen luz pero le falta mas, a mi modo de ver. En general la experiencia fue muy buena.

Un paz increíble entre el bosque El frío que estaba haciendo ya que fuimos en época de lluvia. En este caso recomiendo informarlo para ir más abrigados. Colocar más cobijas o un calentador ya que nos quedamos en el primer piso.

- Lennart (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent place! In the middle of the nature. Many animals/birds coming in the morning. The owner is a very good chef/cook and makes delicious breakfast/dinner. The refugio is very close to the mirador/viewpoint (just 5min walking). Great place to calm down, have some great peaceful time in the nature
- Jan (9/5): Superb - If you are a nature lover - go there!
- Chambers (10/5): Exceptional - I really loved this place. It's very quiet and peaceful (certainly compared to the hustle and bustle of Medellin). It's a bit of a walk to the nearest restaurant in Santa Elena, but that was fine by me. If you want a perfect place to decompress and just relax for a few days, this is definitely it. Carlos was very kind and accommodating, and Juan was very helpful and considerate, as well. Minor issue with the toilet running all the time. I just had to manually turn the tank on and off.
