I had made a booking a couple of weeks in advance and paid a deposit, they sent an email cancelling it a couple of days before, leaving little time to make alternative arrangements. They offered no explanation and didn't reply to my email enquiries about what had happened/ return of the deposit. Unreliable at best.

We stayed for a week at Rana, we had 3 separate private rooms. The rooms were of decent size and had high ceiling roofs and were painted while we stayed there. They were well priced especially for this popular tourist town. The hostal is really well tended by Claudia who was charming and very hard working (cleaning all day). There... More

This hostel was a good value and a nice stop on my way north. It is rather laid back, much like the whole town. The shower was not real warm, but I've had worse. There is no free breakfast or coffee but there is a nice outdoor courtyard and a good wifi signal.

Stayed here for a few nights and I have to say it was good value. There's not 1 but 2 kitchens at this hostel and anyone who has traveled a bit will know how important a kitchen is when on a budget. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly and there's a lounge area to mingle if... More

At COP 40k for a double private room, you can't complain with this hostel. It is nice and quiet at night, the beds are fairly comfortable and there are plenty of blankets. However, it is a bit of an odd place. We weren't sure what was the hostel and what (if any) was the house that the family live in.... More

The staff was friendly, the kitchen okay, ... But the rooms are small, and especially the bed is too small! They have 2 shared bathrooms, but one of the two doesn't lock, which is annoying. I also thought the bathrooms weren't very clean. And no hot water!

Our stay in Rana was in the middle of all the reviews. It was not bad, but not really good. The bathroom and kitchen are old and also a little bit dirty when we stayed there. We asked for another room with a private bathroom, it was no problem, good from the staff. But then they switched our rooms (when... More

I'm pretty stingy with 5-star reviews; a place has to really be special to merit this rating. Hostal Rana belongs in this rarefied realm, with a very attractive, comfortable house; two kitchens, one in the main house and one out back; comfortable hammocks and chairs here and there; total silence at night (Villa de Leyva snuggles under the covers by...

The hostel is a stone throw away from the main square, the owner and all staff were magnificent. The rooms are spotless and the beds are extremely comfortable. The outdoor space and vista of the mountain and moors make it picturesque and relaxing. The night staff are friendly and professional, and will try to address any queries you have. There... More
