Super hostel avec tout ce qu'il faut. Les lits sont confortables, tout est propre, les espaces communs sont grands et agréables. Et la cuisine est très bien équipée! Les cours de salsa/bachata tous les soirs sont un vrai plus !

Very social and relaxing hostel. you get in contact very fast with other travelers and there so many places where you can just relax. Through the WhatsApp group you will be informed about activities. I can also recommend the salsa classes. the group one is for free.

Eins der besten Hostel in denen wir übernachtet haben! Es war so gut das wir immer wieder verlängert haben, sodass wir am Ende anstatt 4 Nächte 10 dort geblieben sind und es war super sauber, die Stimmung war total schön und die Menschen waren richtig nett. Das Gebäude ist auch super schön und gibt einem ein Gefühl von Zuhause

So so great! I really loved my time here. It’s a little far from the main area of restaurants and cafes but it’s still a safe and calm location. Everyone was so social and so dedicated to salsa

La Palmera is my favorite hostel I’ve ever stayed at- I originally booked 3 nights but ended up staying almost 2 weeks. It truly feels like a home and there’s people who stay for longer periods of time so there’s a sense of community. It has everything you need: cozy places to hangout, an awesome kitchen, salsa classes every night, curtains on all the beds, and more! STAY AT LA PALMERA!! I could not recommend it enough :)

The beds were nice and comfy with a good amount of privacy and a personal fan. The free salsa classes in the evening were also really good. Did not find the hostel to be that social and there was a large number of volunteers that made it feel pretty cliquey and kind of spoiled the social vibe

Une des meilleures auberges que j’ai fait en Colombie. Elle est souvent complète donc il faut s’y prendre un peu en avance. L’emplacement est top, calme et safe. Les zones communes sont vraiment très agréables. Les cours de danse du soir sont inégaux selon les profs (deux très bien, un qui laisse à désirer). Le personnel est top, je reviendrais sans aucun doute.

One of my favourite hostels ever, I stayed for 10 days. It’s really hard to fault if you’re looking for a chill, wholesome and comfortable stay in Cali! The building is amazing with soo much common space to enjoy - cafe, lounges, dining/ work spaces, the best equipped kitchen I’ve seen, garden, hammocks, rooftop, bar. The beds extremely comfy and everything is very clean. They offer all the activities you need - fantastic dance studio and tours too. Credit to all Palmera staff and volunte...

Jose and the rest of the staff were amazing during our week stay in Cali. The place is really clean including the kitchen and bathrooms. The daily activities were great and the salsa teachers are amazing. Shout out to my hermano Camilo

We had a great stay at this hostel. The private room is huge and perfect for two people, it was really nice to have a balcony as well. The manager went above and beyond to help us with a medical problem, which we wouldn’t have managed to sort out otherwise. The free salsa classes were great too. Perfect for a stay in Cali, very much recommend.

This place was recommended to me by a few people, it is worth the hype! The rooms were so clean, very comfortable, and the beds have all the things you need: curtain, fan, light, shelf. All the staff deserve an honorable mention as they make this place magic. The free salsa classes were so much fun. The kitchen is huge, well equipped, and super clean! The breakfast is good, and you can cook it yourself. This place actually felt like a home! I will recommend to anyone who goes to Cali!

Best hostel of my travels! The right amount of social without being forced, great kitchen, lots of chill spaces and great coffee shop. If you like salsa and want to learn, this is the place! Something to do every night here, wish I could have stayed longer!

The hostel is really nice, nice view, enjoyed very much the hammocks, the coffeeshop and the view! I definitely recommend and will come back. If I could recommend some improvements it would be a plug in the bathroom. Thank you to the 2 guys at the reception that were really helpful with everything! Didn’t really talked with the volunteers though.

Minha estadia foi maravilhosa! O hostel tem aula de salsa à noite para integrar, além de ser um ambiente acolhedor, muito fácil de fazer amizade. O quintal é lindo, com muito verde, rede, espaço pra tomar café do lado de fora e todos da recepção são muito atenciosos. Com certeza eu voltaria!

Lovely. The staff was so so great. The overall atmosphere was super social and open, but at the same time relaxed. I would come back for sure. It really felt like a little fam, the owner of the hostels as also very cool.
