Excellent hideaway lodge!

Kawa is an incredible place to stay. The views are breathtaking, the hot tub is a great addition. The food is very good and you can tell the staff really care - everyone we encountered wanted everything to be just right.

This property is unique in regards to its situation and it has a great setting; position of rooms, pool, dining area, ... . But it is very difficult to access and you would be limited to food, drink, and tours offered by the property.

We enjoyed the stay and beautiful surroundings and will likely return in the future. As a hostel, amenities and room service in the private rooms are not to be expected. The staff was terrific and very friendly. Two improvements would significantly improve the customer experience, especially when the hostel is operating at full capacity (which was the case during our multiple day visit): 1) There was little adherence to posted rules. Smoking in the eating area and other posted areas was common throughout our visit. The staff had not been properly trained to correct the situation. Asking to shower before entering the pool was ignored (although we did see two people shower beforehand). Correcting these well posted rules and a couple of other minor infractions are very easily corrected will improve the customer experience for everyone. 2) I find that the practice of inviting a fairly large group of "day-use" students to be a bit off putting. The hostel was at full capacity and didn't need more high energy people pretty much taking over the pool and food service. Certainly, the staff, facilities, and location makes up for a some of these deficiencies.

Otroligt fin plats, lite svåt väg att köra dit, men det var en del av upplevelsen - Otroligt fina utsikter!! Servicen var bra, standard på rum var toppen och maten var väldigt god! Jag hade gärna stannat längre än bara en natt.

This is a beautiful hostel, i thought it was a hotel. I wasn't aware that you had to drive on a rough road up the mountain, i found out 2hrs before we got our car rental. They do provide transportation but we found out last minute. The food at restaurant was really good and the service is great. The beds are hard but not an issue for me.

Unfortunately I booked only one night. This place is paradise and there is a lot of activities to do in the area. (Bird watching, traditional massage, coffee tour, hiking to waterfalls, renting motocross and of course relaxing at the pool). This hotel is located in the middle of a very nice coffee farm. The best way to get there is buy contacting one of their drivers because you need a 4X4 truck since its 20 min offroad. If you are planning to go after 5pm, the only way to get there is by contacting their private driver since no one can enter the coffee farm aftee 5pm (there is a private door 10min before the hostel). I booked a private room so it felt like a 4 stars hotel while enjoying the advantages of a hostel. In one day we met so many foreigners and locals. Food was very good, staff were happy and alegre like true colombians. Totally recommend it - try more at least 2 nights.
