Hostal Ciudad de Segorbe
A tranquilo place, not yet discovered by the backpacker crowd. Run by a friendly Spanish-Colombian team, this hostel provides cozy, wooden floor rooms with clean bathrooms and steaming hot showers. The owners have good knowledge about the region. Breakfast is included and is, for once, not a synonym for cheap cereals or eggs and arepa.
La Serrana
Finca that is located 1.5km outside of Salento. This place breaths quietness amidst slopes of farmland. The hostel is beautifully decorated, has a cozy living room with couches and the owner has an excellent music selection playing through the old speakers. There is also a large movie and book English and Spanish selection. La Serrana only opened April 2010 and screams to be discovered. Call the owner on his cellphone for a pick-up from Salento or let them pay the Jeep 6.000 COP from the main square when you first arrive there.
Hostal La Casona de Lili
Warm welcomes. Colombian owned. Great tourist advice.
Hostal Tralala Salento

Finca de Don Elias
Don Elias is the owner of a coffee plantation. It offers only one bedroom that fits up to 4-5 people, with clean facilities and a private bathroom. Price is COP 15,000 per person per night. Don Elias offers coffee tours in Spanish for COP 5,000 per person, with a cup of truly homemade coffee from grain to cup at the end. Ask around Salento for Alexis, the gentleman with the mototaxi, and he can take you there for COP 8000 up to three people for this price. You can always just go to Don Elias' plantation for the coffee tour, which is COP 5,000
