HOTEL BOUTIQUE YARARAKA — Hotel in Huila

Stayed 2 nights in Yararaka. The hotel is something special, because it looks like a barn with 1 big straw roof. The walls of the rooms are not going untill that roof, so all the rooms are connected.

Spacious basic but clean rooms with few amenities. The walls dont reach the traditionally constructed ceiling so there is potential for noise between the rooms and the public courtyard. Shower never ran hot. Little choice at breakfast, relatively sparing even for Colombia. Pool in the courtyard and lots of places to sit. They gave us the wrong room key and had to fetch someone to work out the problem. On the day of our depart a team of painted women doing tele-sales of perfume set up outside our room and we had to manouvre all our luggage around them while the staff watched....
