Family Host Hostel Villa de Leyva

Review by hotel critic

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Family Host Hostel in Villa de Leyva, and it was a delightful experience that perfectly combined comfort and community. Nestled within a short, pleasant walk from the Main Square, the hostel's location made it easy for my friends and me to explore the vibrant streets and cultural gems of this charming town. The atmosphere felt instantly inviting, thanks to the cheerful staff who were always ready to assist and shared insightful recommendations for local attractions. We frequently made use of the well-equipped kitchen, where we savored the freedom to cook our meals together—truly a bonding experience that I cherish as a history teacher who values collaboration. Each morning commenced with a lovely continental breakfast that fueled our adventures, while the availability of free WiFi allowed us to stay connected and plan our days effectively. I also appreciated the dormitory’s cleanliness and comfort, which made returning after a day of exploration all the more rewarding. Engaging with fellow travelers was effortless here, with the common areas offering a vibrant social scene. I especially enjoyed the relaxed vibe that encouraged evening conversations while respecting quiet hours for a peaceful night’s rest. Family Host Hostel embodies not just a place to sleep, but a home away from home, enhanced by shared meals, friendly banter, and a lovely garden for downtime. I wholeheartedly recommend it for those hoping to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Villa de Leyva’s history and culture. Thank you for a memorable stay!
