Incredible views with even better service

Absolutely loved the stay at Hotel Kawa. The property is incredible -- beautiful views right above the town of Salento. The room could not have been better. Very comfortable and the private jacuzzi was a huge plus. The staff, particularly Daniela, could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The food was also excellent -enjoyed both dinner and breakfast on the property. I would absolutely stay at this property again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxury stay at a very reasonable price point.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Kawa. The location is secluded from the town so it’s very peaceful, yet you are a 6 min walk to town. Everyone was super attentive to your needs all the time. I would definitely book at Kawa again.

It was a great place to stay, with the benefit of a mountain location and easy access to town by taking a shortcut on the property. Note that it is a good uphill hike back from town. A taxi or tuk-tuk may be a better idea coming back at night. Our room was next to the parking lot and was noisy as trucks and cars came in and out. It was the building right beside the main building. They have more secluded units that I would encourage you to get. I recommend this place.

We loved staying here. We had a beautiful cabin with spectacular views. The staff was super nice and helpful. They organized our tour to Cocora Valley with a very nice an knowledgeable guide. And a tour to a coffee farm. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we had in Colombia. I truly recommend staying here. Everyone is super nice. It is close to Salento yet far from noise and very peaceful. You will not regret staying here.

Amazing staff truly felt like it was my home

Amazing Carlos went aboveand beyond to make me feel comfortable and answer all questions. Breakfast was made to order and included. Views were unobstructed and peaceful. The room had an updated patio and shower with very hot water. All amenities were great. They even had two hotel dogs that were friendly. Only suggestion is dont put families with children in the room next to the massage room. I was not able to fall asleep due to screaming kids the entire massage session.

Our stay in Waka Mountain Retreat in Salento was fantastic! Although getting to the hotel was a bit inconvenient due to the dirt road that initially seemed sketchy, it was absolutely worth it once we arrived. The location is perfect, giving you the feeling of being in the middle of the forest while actually being just a 5-minute walk from the town. The rooms are beautifully decorated, combining the natural environment with modern comforts. The food was amazing for both dinner and breakfast, and the staff was outstanding. Special thanks to Carlos at the reception and Albany in the restaurant for being so nice and helpful. The only downside was the rooms next to the main building, which have a large window that can be bothersome due to the lack of privacy and noise barrier. We could hear everything when there were food deliveries to the restaurant or pick-ups for excursions, as if there were no walls. However, when we requested to switch rooms, the staff accommodated our request, which was fantastic. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend booking a room away from the main building for a more peaceful experience!

Nice stay at Kawa in a truly stunning location, however, considering the price we paid, the value for money was poor. Our jacuzzi was broken on arrival and after a back and forth between management, other room options were suggested which were less than what we had paid for originally and we were not offered any monetary discount. We had an apology from Luis but not from the manager on duty at the time, who continued to be aloof during our stay. The breakfast was lovely and the views from the room were great. A shame that the manageress was rude during our stay and her customer service was not what you would expect given the rating of the accommodation.

Prior to our visit, we read all the positive reviews and our stay exceeded our high expectations. Everything about this place is fantastic: the stunning views, tranquil setting, comfortable room and excellent service. The charming lobby/dinning area was a perfect setting to enjoy the breakfast of an assortment of fresh fruits, coffee and selected entré. In the evening, we enjoyed drinks in front of the wood burning fireplace. The location was perfect for our four days of exploring the region. We found the walk into Salento a little steep and tiring, so we used a driver that charged 15,000 pesos each way which worked out great. Can’t recommend Kawa enough!
