Guest Reviews
- Isabel (10/5): - Todo muy bonito, el mejor lugar para alojarse cerca de San Agustin, muy tranquilo el lugar, comida excelente, servicio increible. Lo recomiendo mucho para desconectarse y vivir una experiencia incomparable
- Maria Ludovica (8/5): -
- Rubens (10/5): -
- Rodrigo Ricardo (9/5): -
- Diana (9/5): Fantastico - Es un hotel muy bonito, ideal para familias , rodeado de un paisaje hermoso, la comida es deliciosa, el personal es muy amable y la ubicación es perfecta 🤩 la vía desde NEIVA hasta San Agustin es de las mejores de Colombia 🇨🇴 vale toda la pena ir Todo nos gusto. 😁
- Achama (9/5): -
- Anton (10/5): - È un hotel bellissimo, immerso nel verde, a due passi dal Parco archeologico (dal centro di San Augustin sono circa 45 minuti a piedi). La disponibilità dei gestori è stata grandissima, siamo arrivati già di mattina, dopo un viaggio notturno in bus, la camera era pronta e ce l'hanno data subito, consentendoci anche, con una piccola addizionale, di fare colazione quella stessa mattina presso la loro struttura, oltre che la mattina successiva (quest'ultima era inclusa nel prezzo). La colazione è stata sempre buonissima. È un luogo di pace dove consiglio fortemente di alloggiare a chi va a visitare l'incredibile Parco archeologico di San Augustin.
- Fabian (9/5): - Excelente ubicación, en especial si va al plan del parque arqueológico, queda justo al lado del parque, si va en carro puede dejarlo en el hotel y caminando son 5min y se evita el rollo del parqueo del parque.
- Jayv (10/5): Buen descanso cerca al parque Arqueológico de San Agustín - Buen hotel rodeado de naturaleza y muy cerca al parque Arqueológico Nada
- Ariza Guerra (9/5): - La ubicación del hotel es un lugar muy muy tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza y animales, sin ruido. Sin comentarios.
- Aya (10/5): -
- Rita (9/5): -
- HERNANDO (9/5): Excelente - No es la primera vez que estamos y nos gusta la gente que atiende el Hotel Su personal
- Anna (9/5): - La ubicación, muy cerca al parque arqueológico, lugar tranquilo, habitación amplia, un desayuno sabroso, los jardines y la naturaleza que rodea el hotel.
- Erik (9/5): -
- Abril (10/5): Excepcional , súper recomendable - Las instalaciones son excelentes, muy bonitas No hay nada negativo
- Erik (9/5): Anbefales! - Flott beliggenhet, kjempehyggelig personale, god frokost. Beste kaffen jeg drukket i mitt liv - snakk med Cesar!Gangavstand til Parque Arquelogico. Var heldig med prisen, takk til booking.com for en solid rabatt! Plagsom trafikk på den svingete veien til sentrum (4 km) hvis du skal gå. Taxi fra hotellet til sentrum = 10,000 pesos / mototaxi tilbake = 5000. Kunne vært bedre belysning på rommet, men ikke verre enn at det går.
- Sheryl (10/5): If you want to have a rest and relaxation, this is the place! - Everything No mobile phone signal
- Sheryl (8/5): If you want some R&R this is the place to be. You’re closer to nature and I love the location. - Near Parque Arqueologico No cellular signal, limited food options,
- Natalia (9/5): Un bello lugar para descansar - La comodidad de la habitación, la limpieza, la buena comida, la atención y la cercanía al parque arqueológico. La red wifi muy inestable o aveces nula
- Viviana (10/5): Un excelente lugar para estar cerca al Parque Arqueológico - La anfitriona fue muy amable. El lavamanos tenía fuga de agua
- Diego Esteban (10/5): Genial - Todo, la habitación, la alimentación, la amabilidad del personal y la ubicación Nada
- maria virginia (9/5): Maravillosa estancia, amabilidad! - Todo! La vista. La comidas y cercanía con el parque. La amabilidad. El desayuno muy bueno. La comida también. Las personas que están a cargo del hotel son muy amables. Gracias! Podrían mejorar las duchas para que tengan un espérait y no salga el chorro directo. Pero no es un factor grave. Hay agua caliente que es lo importante
- Carolina (10/5): Gran lugar para hospedarse cerca del Parque Arqueológico de San Agustín - La ubicación es excelente para quienes van al Parque Arqueológico pues se encuentra a 5 minutos caminando. El pesonal es muy amable, el desayuno abundante, las opciones de almuerzo variadas. La habitación que me dieron no tenía mucha luz natural y tenía un leve olor a humedad. Sin embargo fue una habitación amplia, limpia, bonita. Realmente es un muy buen hotel
- Carlos (9/5): Muy agradable el paisaje - Los jardines, muy cerca del parwue No había TV
- Fredy Orlando (10/5): -
- Antonio (10/5): Gracias - Gracias
- MOREL (9/5): -
- Norman (10/5): Amazing place - Everything was perfect.
Beautiful location, peaceful and quiet.
A very special mention to one of the staff name Dacny. The most beautiful, caring and thoughtful person who was so kind and helpful when I landed in hospital for a couple of days. Thank you. Nothing
- David (10/5): A place surrounded by nature - The location is unbeatable, walking distance to Archeological Park, and surrounded by nature.
The staff was really kind, we had to do a very late checkin and they wait for us without hesitation, also they advice about restaurants and the amusements.
The breakfast was delicious
- Elizabeth (10/5): The perfect hote - I don't know where to start except 10 is not high enough! Dacni was fantastic, as was everyone, the facility was fantastic and the bed extremely comfortable and a great shower with great hot water. It would have been a great place just to hang out and listen to the birds. It is next to the Archaeology park which was my purpose but it would have been the perfect place just to relax. It was absolutely perfect.
- Henry (10/5): A very nice hotel to stay in when visiting San Agustin. - A friendly and attentive staff. Breakfast and food were good. A place to stay in when visiting San Agustin.
- Catharine (10/5): Exceptional - Huaka-yo is set in pristine jungle scenery, so quiet and restful, a real chance to relax and rejuvenate.
The staff were very welcoming, helpful and happy. I was woken to the sound of bird song and saw many different species. My en suite room was spacious with everything I needed.
250m from San Agustin Archaeological Park. The park is absolutely amazing with the most wonderful statues & tombs. An absolute must for anyone in this area.
- Philip (9/5): Idyllic peaceful spot next to the Archeological Park - Set in a huge gorgeous garden setting it's the perfect place for peace and solitude just 3 km put of town and a 5 minute walk from the park.
Rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean and beds are very comfortable. Shower had good pressure and lots of hot water and wifi reception was excellent. There were even 2 showers and toilets in my unit.
Staff were super friendly, unfailingly helpful and cheerful. The hotel German Shepherd is very sweet and can usually be found with the gardener. He's also a good doorbell for staff if they're away from the reception when your ring the bell to get in the main gate.
Breakfast was fresh mango, eggs cooked as ypu like, an arepa, juice and coffee. Food in the restaurant was tasty, served in generous portions and fairly priced. Kitchen was open throughout my stay even though I was the only guest. Beer and wine is available at good prices.
Credit cards are accepted for payment. Being out of town, I used taxis to go into town and that mounts up at 10k per ride although cheaper by moto taxi.
Rooms are a little stark and adding a few pictures would cheer them up.
- Tameka (8/5): Very good - Beautiful location and very secure.
- Ronnie (10/5): Quiet Retreat - Great location close to San Agustin Archeological Park, friendly and helpful staff, very quiet. Nothing
- Neal (10/5): A great place to stay if you’re in San Augustin! - Everything. Wonderful, super friendly staff, great location, a short walk to the archeological park. The food at the restaurant was always well prepared and reasonably priced and the portions are big. My room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Nothing
- Spencer (10/5): Great location, great breakfast, friendly staff. - Incredible location, great breakfast, friendly staff. Nothing comes to mind.
- Sandra (10/5): Exceptional - Very kind and efficient staff. Quick response personally and via booking platform. Place is an absolute paradise: surrounded by the silence of the nature. Distance from town is not an issue as long as you are willing to walk or pay a taxi. Any way it worth it. Initially we got wrong information about a tour offer (price and places to visit) which giide us to make decisions about our itinerary that could be different but the operator and the hotel administration did everything in their hands to sort it out.
- Jcalwill (10/5): Great place to stay when in San Agustin - Everybody was very friendly and helpful; LARGE, clean, well-kept room; bathroom was very big with two showers and two toilets; very close to the archeological park; large portions of food at the restaurant Nothing. Everything was great
- Gonzalo (10/5): WE WILL COME BACK!!!!!! - Great location, confortable room, awesome customer service, delicious breakfast
- Beth (10/5): We had a lovely stay and would definitely return. - Hotel is set on a beautiful and peaceful estate. Facilities were excellent and room was huge. Staff were lovely and went above and beyond to help, nothing was a problem. Nothing to add here
- K (9/5): Great stay in quiet area with comfy beds and hot water! - Great stay in quiet area with beautiful yard and secure parking. The room was comfortable and they had hot water! The restaurant was convenient! It is a 5-10 minute walk to an amazing archeological site.
- Nicolas (8/5): Very good -
- Noelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Neil (10/5): Glorious and I needed 6 hours to see the main park - waking up to the view in the morning
the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff
its closeness to the archaeological park lack of alternative restaurants near by
- Hugh (10/5): Exceptional - HUGE rooms, hot showers, very friendly staff, secure parking, very tranquil, located very close to park. Having to leave.
- Sylvia (10/5): Beautiful stay near the park - This is a beautiful, quiet hotel set in a forest setting. Very comfortable and very restful. The food is basic, but good. The staff was very attentive to our needs It's a 5 minute walk from the entry to the archeological park. If you want to get to town, it's a short taxi ride away. The staff also organized a day trip for us to visit the other sites and waterfalls. Nothing!
- Tracey (10/5): Quiet, peaceful, a wonderful experience. - The staff was lovely, even loaned me an umbrella the day I was leaving to visit the nearby park.
- Marie (8/5): Very good - the setting and the location. Not enough outlets, no bed tables to be able to read in bed
- Amir (10/5): Exceptional - Nice large room, beautiful resort style hotel, very good restaurant on site. Right next to
Archeological park. In my 6 weeks trip in colombia this was the best of all.
- Phil (10/5): Fabulous place to stay - Very quiet location. Next to San Agustin archeological park
- Johannes (10/5): really nice staff, great view from the restaurant into the mountains -
- Margherita (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lorne.m (10/5): Exceptional - Probably the best hotel after 6 weeks traveling in Colombia. No roosters, no dogs barking all night long, just wonderful tranquility surrounded by nature. The rooms were huge, clean and comfortable. Staff is absolutely great. Booked for just 2 nights but stayed 4. Nice restaurant too. Nothing. All was terrific.
- Carlos (9/5): Superb -
- Tina (9/5): Superb -
- John (8/5): Tranquil location - The people working here are very nice. The hotel is a two minute walk to the entrance of the archaeological park and set in beautiful gardens and surrounded by forest. The room is very big. No WiFi in the downstairs room and no mobile phone reception. It's bizarre that they don't set up a router to fix this obvious requirement.
- Diana (9/5): great place to stay! - Location hot water
- Kata (10/5): Exceptional -
- Felipe (10/5): Exceptional - I loved it, it is very calm and clean. The staff was very attentive with us and the breakfast too delicious.
It is very close to the San Agustin archeology park.
- Daniël (10/5): a great place to stay for a few days while exploring the sights around San Agustín - i absolutely loved this place. it's well outside of the town of San Agustin but only a 5 minute walk from the archeological park entrance. i enjoyed its location because it was quiet. the rooms are large and very comfortable. the bed was comfortable. the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. breakfast was delicious. one of the best things was the friendly dog! i have nothing bad to say about this hotel
- Ruth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Petra (7/5): Good -
- Romain (10/5): Definitely recommend - The staff is so nice and helpful. Always eager to help you with tours and give tips (helped me book a personnalized tour of the countryside). Very nice owner as well who offered me a tasting of the local best coffee blend.
Hotel very quiet and peaceful. Rooms are not much decorated but very practical and comfy.
Very good food
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff is just excellent. Jefferson is great guy help us all the time his work made our stay so pleasant. Great food.
- Ricardo (10/5): Excelente Hotel y Servicio. - El hotel está super cerca del parque arqueológico de San Agustin. Las habitaciones son muy limpias, tienen agua caliente y a pesar de que no hay televisores con el sonido de la naturaleza es más que suficiente para descanzar y desconectarse del mundo. Tienen WIFI para esas personas que no se pueden desconectar 100%. El personal es super amable (Jefferson y Edward) y siempre están dispuestos a guiar y a dar referencias con respecto a los sitios turisticos del area. Los desayunos son muy buenos y no se diga el cafe que ellos ofrecen es riquísimo! Recomendamos el hotel un 100% y estamos seguros que la proxima vez que volvamos a San Agustin nos alli nos quedaremos!!
- Zuleima (6/5): Inflexibilidad y manejo inadecuado de las reservas - El servicio es bueno en general. Al final fueron poco amables, no colaboraron con un cambio de reserva de la última noche, no nos dieron el desayuno que ofrecieron por salir a las 4 am, no me dieron factura, ni me la enviaron al correo. Que pesar, tratan de ser amables, pero es apariencia. El sitio es muy bonito, el primer piso tiene mucho ruido de los huéspedes del 2 piso
- Liliana (10/5): Tranquilidad - La estadía en el hotel fue muy agradable y tranquila, todas las personas que nos atendieron son muy amables, nuestro mayor contacto fue con Jefferson quien es una persona muy amable y siempre pendiente de las necesidades de los huéspedes.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Das Hotel liegt nur 200m oberhalb vom Archäologischen Park mitten im Grünen. Es es ist sehr ruhig und man hört unzählige Vögel. Das Personal war unglaublich freundlich und bemüht, das Essen sehr lecker.
- Maria (10/5): - The peaceful beautiful setting was matched by the friendliness and care I received from the staff at the hotel.
- Olivier (10/5): - Très bien situé à 5 minutes à pied du principal parc archéologique de San Agustin, cadre très calme et au milieu de la jungle, chambre simple et confortable, petit déjeuner complet avec un café succulent. Mention spéciale au personnel très aimable et pouvant renseigner sur toute la région et les visites possibles. Si vous vous rendez à Popayan en voiture, attention à la route principale qui est quasi impraticable sur une quarantaine de kilomètres, 120kms en 5 heures.
- Maribel (10/5): Inolvidable estància - Nuestra estadia en el hotel Huaka-yo fue realmente maravillosa. El hotel esta a solo 5 minutos andando del parque arqueologico, en un entorno tranquilo y muy agradable. El jardin del hotel es precioso, muchos arboles y muchos pajaros. Increïble lugar.
El desayuno era gourmet, cafe recien molido, arepas de queso riquisimas, y productos naturales (pan, queso, zumos, fruta...) La comida del restaurante tambien muy rica.
Finalmente, agradecer al personal del hotel, sobretodo a Jefferson, su atencion para que nuestra estadia fuera perfecta. Aunque llegamos al hotel cuando ya havien cerrado el restaurante, nos ofrecio unos sandwiches calientes muy ricos para cenar. Ademas, los tours que nos organizó fueron inolvidables.
Muchas gracias por todo!!
- HECTOR FRANCISCO (10/5): Comentario de un turista - Excelente ubicación, comodidad y servicio. Vale la pena visitarlo y disfrutarlo.
- Juan Manuel (10/5): Experiencia de calidad total - Es un hotel con una excelente atención y calidad excepcional en todos sus servicios
- David (10/5): Wonderful stay. - Room and bed were very comfortable. The water was hot and breakfast very good. The hotel is surrounded by very nice landscaping and beyond that beautiful rain forest. A short walk to the archeologist park and to town is walkable or an easy cab ride. My wife and I walked back to the hotel just for fun and we are in our seventies.
- Nicholas (10/5): San Agustín - A very nice place to stay in the Archeological Park . Service was great . Highly recommended
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location. Short walk to San Agustin Archeological Park. Also the shuttle bus from the town goes to the park, a cheap and convenient way to get in and out of the town. Restaurant at hotel has reasonable selection of dishes at a reasonable price, freshly prepared and served with a smile. Staff very helpful to English speaking people. Good information provided electronically after booking. Great place and great staff!
- MICHEL (8/5): SAN AGUSTIN mérite le détour - ETAPE très intéressante pour son archéologie, son parc, les cascades., mais à travers des pistes difficilement accessibles sans 4/4.
Le personnel de l'hôtel est remarquable, tant par sa gentillesse que sa disponibilité.
- OLGA (10/5): Excelente servicio. Muy recomendado! - Bellísima propiedad estratégicamente ubicada para ir al Parque Arqueológico y otros sitios de interés de la región. Excelente servicio, personal siempre presto a orientar, desayuno completo, parqueadero y oferta de traslado desde/al aeropuerto de Pitalito (a 40 min de San Agustín). Habitaciones espaciosas, sencillas (no Tv), con agua caliente y elementos básicos de aseo.
- OLGA (8/5): - Excelente servicio, bellísima propiedad, habitaciones espaciosas. A 200 m del Parque Arqueológico San Agustín y a 5 min del pueblo. Agua de cortesía al ingreso. Sin Tv (perfecto para nosotros, considerando el interés de disfrutar del entorno). La señal de wifi casi optima. Súper recomendado!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice hotel, close to the archeological Park. Very good food and a very nice people.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - nice place nice people nice facilities
- Carmen (10/5): - We had a 10 day road trip in southern Colombia and our 4 night stay in Huaka-Yo was the golden seal. What a fabulous facility and staff. It was easy to book a room for a group of 5 people with Huaka-Yo. In fact the two level room we got could accommodate 7 people! It had two bathrooms and lots of space. Nights were quiet and we were awaken with birds singing in the wooden area that surrounds the hotel. A large and delicious breakfast was included with the hotel rate: fresh fruit, orange juice and coffee, home made arepas and eggs or sandwich. Edward and Jefferson welcomed us each morning with a big smile, and were very helpful. Edward arranged for us two very good tours: a horseback riding and a jeep tour; both guides were very knowledgeable. Not having our own transportation was not an issue for us. The hotel is just a very short taxi ride from town and a very short walking distance to the park. The tours started at the hotel and ended wherever we wanted. So good was their customer service that given our early morning departure from the hotel they gave us a small breakfast take out for us to start our long 11 hour bus trip to Bogota! Thanks for such an awesome job. We will definitively go back.
- CeFue (10/5): Amazing experience!!! - Exceptional customer service!! Cristal clean room and very comfortable beds! Time to enjoy our environment w/o TV’s!! However available high quality Wi-Fi. Amazing breakfast with one of the best coffee ever tested! Best localization next to the biggest archeological Park. Definitely recommended Hotel Huaka-Yo to complete one of the best experience in Colombia (San Agustin Arqueological area)!!
