The Republica de Artistas was one of the best hostels I´ve stayed when traveling for 5 months in South America and no doubt it has the best breakfast ever. Nice and helpfull staff, clean, well decorated and with a great atmosphere. Salento and the Republika are places that I always reccomend to travelers who mention the intention to visit Colombia.

As i was traveling through the beautiful country of columbia i was lucky enough to stop in the little town of salinto...Original plans were to lodge at the plantation house but when my companion and i were walking through town we saw a beautiful place with art flowing out of it...Jozef and Mihail are two of the most amazing and loving people i had ever met they touched me with their hearts, laughter and delicious oraganic food...i found peace when i stayed there and plan to return as often as life will allow me to do so

I have never written a review of a hostel before, but given the information that a bad review of Mikhail and Josephs place had been submitted I hereby do an exception. That review is really a disgrace.
The place is the best! I have never been in a more warm and welcoming hostel, with such amazing breakfasts. The thing is, that the guys here really wants this hostel to be a shared home for travellers like themselves. They are not in it for the money as so many other hostel-owners but are actually trying everyday to innovate and improve the way hostels works and treat their guests. It's all "Mi Casa est tu Casa". And the breakfast is unforgetable.
So, allow yourself an experience that match the surroundings of Salento and stay at Republika de Artistas.
- Bjørn
P.S. the 4 in the rooms is due to the fact that the beds in my dorm at first glance seemed a little hard, but when you first laid down they were really great. So to me it is really a 5. If you are a very thinskinned little princess though, I would go for a room.

En mi viaje por latinoamerica, conoci a una pareja de argentinos que me recomendaron Salento como un lugar interesante y magico para conocer. Asi tambien me dijeron que me hospede en republika de artistas. Un hostel increible con el " mejor desayuno de todos" preparado con mucho amor por joseph y mihail sus dueños. Dos personas maravillosas que hacen lo imposible por que tu estadia sea placentera. Se los recomiendo de corazon!!!!

i stayed at this hostel in march. Initially i was going to stay for a couple of days, 5 nights later. It was home away from home. YOU HAVE TO TRY THE AWESOME GOURMET 3 COURSE BREAKFAST, ITS MOUTH WATERING its the kind of food you get in a restaurant... its very clean and the owner is very hospitable. we had one night all the people from the hostel and the owner all went out for dinner, so his very easy going....
enjoy- disfruteeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

We were planning to stay in Salento for 1 or2 days, but by chance we came up in Republika de Artistas and finally left one week later.
The relaxed atmosphere, the delicious four (or more) -course breakfast according to the slow food concept and the friendliness and hospitality of the owners, Joseph and Mihail, have made it difficult for us to leave. Mihail and Joseph are very enthusiastic people who have just started this hostel and you can feel and see that they want to make something special of it...Besides a place to stay they have created a gallery of the hostel where they show and sell work of- and for local artists (without making any profit)....We hope to come back some day to see how they have developed!!

Republika de Artistas is the best hostel I've ever stayed at. I will never forget Josephs hospitality. He comes from a family of Michelin chefs and his 6-7 course breakfast is the perfect start to a day of exploring Salentos beautiful scenery.
