Hotel recommendations for Colombia:

Budget ($34-55/night):
Hostels with private rooms work well. Look for places with good reviews on Booking.com.

Mid-Range ($51-105/night):
International chains like Ibis or Holiday Inn. These usually have pools and fitness centers.

Premium ($130+/night):
Luxury apartments via Airbnb.

Guest-Friendly Policy:
Avoid local-owned budget places — they may refuse visitors.

Location tip: Stay near the main nightlife strip.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at the hotel?
