“BED BUGS EVERYWHERE, avoid it”
+i got my money back
−i spend the night trying to sleep on a chair and a guy (from another room, with the same problem) on the sofa. PLEASE close the hostel, get rid of it, open again fresh & safe and make customers happy again, not ruin their holidays p.s.: they were absolutely aware about the problem, also had bed bug stray staying at the reception desk but still let you sleep in these rooms full of bugs

“Exceptional”
+Casa Babylon is a very special place in all possible ways. Of course, it's a fantastic choice if you want an affordable room in a convenient area, breathing with vibrant local life. There are bakeries and restaurants all over the place. But beyond these necessary yet very pragmatic points, Casa Babylon and its owner, Joel, will make sure that your stay and experience in Medellin are just cosy, homely and genuine. Because regardless of our respective paths and stories, this is what we, travelers, are all looking for.

“Very good”
+It’s its clean and the staff is super nice and helpful
−It gets quite hot during the day in the dorms, so if you went out on Saturday and decided to sleep during the day be ready you’ll sweat a bit.

“A Terrible Experience at This Hostel”
+the voluntary staff.
−I had a very negative experience with the owner of the hostel, Jhon. I booked in advance and, upon arriving, I called to ask for directions as I was only a few meters away. However, the response I received was completely inappropriate and rude. The owner, Jhon, seemed annoyed and offered no help to guide me to the hostel, which was already a frustrating start. When I finally arrived, I discovered that there was no bed available, despite having made a prior reservation. This was due to an error on Jhon’s part. Despite the situation, he showed no courtesy or interest in solving the problem. Instead of offering a solution, he told me there was nothing he could do, leaving me stranded without accommodation. To make matters worse, despite all the inconvenience, Jhon charged me the full price despite not giving the room or even a bed, only offering a 5,000-peso discount, which I found insulting given the mistreatment I received and the fact that I had to stay the whole night without a bed, and only allow to stay thanks to the volunteers. Although the volunteers at the hostel tried to be helpful and even opposed Jhon’s orders, the treatment I received from the owner was completely unaccep
