Hotel Karupa

They took really good care, when there was no bottled water they went out in the middle of the night to get it. It was a nice chilling place, the music was kept down to the minimum. I got all the info I needed on how to get around. The bus was particularly useful to get to town. There was a lovely natural pool of water few hundred meters away and there were other places within easy reach to swim. I was surprised there were no moskyto nets on the beds, but that was kind of normal in a lot of other hostels too. You will need something to put over, because they will get in. If you are in the room under the roof it's impossible to keep the door shut at night it is just too hot.

Good place to chill, but it's no way a 4 star place, maybe a 2-3 star. It was a tre cabin so no much to expect, has running water heated with sun light, electricity and a toilet. Basic accomadation and hard to sleep at night if it rains as you will hear it. Overall a nice retreat outside of the city. You can use the bus that passes by 3 times a day and cost 5000 cop. Also there is a cool neighbour Ospino that will drive you around by tuk tuk, should be 20-25k to leticia. call him on +533209796914 Loud frogs at night.

The cabane is really nice, but it’s new and not really functional yet. But the owners are working on it. The owners are really nice and Fernando will take really good care of you. Food is good If you want some calm, it’s probably not the best spot, because it’s an open place for the community to come at the pool and play music

I liked the night walk and Canoe Tour The pool was dirty, some huts are in construction others look already very rundown. There lives an orphaned monkey baby. I was told he was saved by the owner. “Saving” wild animals should mean helping them to get back into the wild and not keeping them as pets. With the help of professionals in an animal rescue center this monkey could have a normal life. Instead it is being fed there and I do hope all of this is not just a trick to attract more tourists. Everyday there was a mouse or rat in my room at night because I could see the excrements on the floor and between my chlothes. In general the isolation is poor what makes the protection from mosquitoes hard. There was also no mosquito net. I canceled my last two nights but had to pay one because of cancellation policies. I asked up front if vegan food was available and been told it wouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately I wasn’t understood well and got eggs for breakfast. Simple foods like fruits were ok, but some of the dishes were just wild experiments that I couldn’t eat. I expected a quiet place in the Amazonian rain forest to chill, read my books and just be in nature. Unfortunately the neighbors play loud music or other guests at the pool are also allowed to put their music on huge speakers. I have to say I got help from the owner when I complaint about this behavior from other guests.

The host was very polite, room after a quick clean was also ok. General info - buses to the town leave every so often. The last one back form the town leaves at 5 pm which is very early, considering that's the only place you can get food. The place does not look like on booking at all. It really needs a lot of maintenance for what is costs. Even though we were just four people in the place, breakfast was served very cold and dry.

They offer a Tour to a indigenous Family which is really special! But the communication upfront could have been better. This tour is not touristic and you'll be with a really nice family. But ask upfront what is included!! Because as I said the communication what I can expect and what's possible to do during this tour was not communicated upfront and caused some trouble.

Fernando was super nice and helpful. Location is nice with a big property. Property is not well maintained and needs lots of work to be up to the standard of a good hotel. The facilities were outdated. One room had a particular poor smell. The fridge wasn't well stocked so food often unavailable. Issue with payment. Tried to overcharge us by 400,000 pesos.
