Incredible staff and great service, very secluded property with an amazing view. The property can use a litle more attention to maintenance and eventhough it's supposed to be a secluded experience, a TV would have been usefull, one can only take so many hours of nothi g to do or see. Overall really god hotel with aquatic activities.

The service was excellent and very attentive! 10/10 We stayed in the family room (Lar 11) and we had amazing views from our room. Safe and enjoyable for kids and adults. We went with an 3yr old and 8yr old and they enjoyed it a lot! Great breakfast options, vegetarian and vegan friendly also available. They also have room service which is excellent! The hottub on the deck of the room is a must do! Very enjoyable and with an amazing view. It gets cold when it rains, so bring your rain coat/jacket and at sunrise and sundown it gets pretty chilly. Only sidenote: you have to walk up the hill to get to the restaurant/lobby area and walk down the hill to get back to your room. It is not suitable for people who have walking disabilities or difficulties.

We traveled from the USA to stay at the Boato Hotel for 3 nights. When we arrived the room was not ready as we were early but we were welcome to stay in their open air restaurant. We had lunch and it was delicious. We walked the paths while we waited for our room and saw beautiful birds and enjoyed the lake view. We were taken to our room and the bags were taken by a tuk tuk. The family room was perfect for what we needed. It had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a living area, a couch, a balcony, a jacuzzi for 6 people I would say, and the most perfect view of the Guatape lake/dam. The jacuzzi takes two hours to fill and you have to fill it every night. We did kayaking a couple of times during our stay. Breakfasts was included and it could not have been better. We also had lunch there and dinner some of the days we were there. Water is potable and we did not buy water. The small fridge comes with a bunch of stuff but we only use a few of the items. They clean every day if you request. The shower was great but it leaked outside the shower so we had the cleaning ladies clean our room because it would get messy. They also ordered tuk tuks or taxis for us. We felt safe. There were people from all over the world at the hotel and it was full while we were there. They made a fire for us every night which was wonderful. The weather was perfect. I would live there if I could. We also rented a private boat tour and I recommend it as well

I was a little hesitant to stay here because of the rating but I am so glad we did. I'm not sure what people had to complain about. Everything was great. Do not stay here if you are not able-bodied is my only suggestion. The rooms are on a mountain side and hard to access if you or a family member is not very mobile.

Noise all night long. Other guests partying all night long, boats going by with really loud booming music, the doors would rattle loudly when the wind passed, they had a loud generator going when the power would go out, which was at least once a day and sometimes lasting for hours. It was very hard to sleep there. It is definitely not a place to go if you want peace and quiet. They overcharged us and we are still fighting to get that fixed, but you never know how those things go. They essentially charged us for an extra night. The included breakfast had very little variability and choices.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Extremely underwhelming. Arrived via the pontoon which was nice. Then a steep walk to the property up a mud path. Great views and nice concept. Food- Average at best. Overpriced because your are stuck with in the hotel, so they can name their price. Breakfast portion size enough to feed a small child, I’m still waiting for my coffee. Dinner was a poor cut of ‘fillet’ steak. Cleanliness- Bed was filthy with yellow stains on. 3 times it was changed, eventually some clean bedding. Not much empathy showed from the hotel which was a shame. Facilities- Decided to hire a jet ski at the cost of $80 for an hour which is on the pricier side. This was despite being told less by a member of staff. Also be careful as they slap on service charges for every single thing you consume. This is voluntary so you can remove it. Overall, 5/10. I believe there are better places in Guatape, don’t be roped in by their social media posts.

Habitacion limpia, baño con agua caliente, cocina equipada por si quieres cocinar tu mismo, refrigerador y un ventilador (por si esta muy caluroso, no hay A/C). Muy buena la comida del restaurante y las atenciones de los jovenes. Mi unica queja: las batas de baño estaban muy desgastadas al igual que la tela de las sillas que estan en el balcon, sumado a esto, deben poner luces y arreglar el camino hacia las cabañas: Tuvimos que caminar hasta nuestra habitacion entre lodo (habia lloviido el dia antes) y alumbrando con celulares. Entiendo que es un concepto ecologico y resaltando lo natural, pero al menos los senderos a las habitaciones deberian estar en mejores condiciones para la comodidad y la seguridad de los inquilinos. Ah! No hay TV en las cabañas.

De positivo se rescata la atención de personal , el paisaje, instalaciones bien cuidadas , menú pequeño pero bastante aceptable El único punto negro es un cobro de más que hicieron en la factura a la hora del check out y que al día de hoy la administración del hotel no ha gestionado para devolverme pese a que cuentan con la información de los datos bancarios

Gran descanso

El lugar es hermoso, muy tranquilo,la comida deliciosa. La habitación es linda y con una gran vista. El jacuzzi en el balcón es lo. Máximo. Lo único por mejorar es que para ir con adultos. Mayores es difícil el acceso a las habitaciones, toca bajar por lugares muy empinados o donde hay mucha piedra y barro.
