Cosmos Tatacoa Hotel

‏the most accommodating and pleasant hotel there is. Great location, very clean rooms, strong wifi that always works, cozy and clean pool, luxurious and delicious breakfast. They even brought us a second dose of fruit without asking! We needed the hotel's help with a desert guide and they organized it immediately. In addition, they helped us book bus tickets and drove us to the city center generously. Every problem we had they immediately helped us with love and a smile. The hosts are lovely people with a huge heart. Perfect stay.

My wife and I stayed 2 nights in the cosmos hotel in Villavieja on a recent visit to the tatacoa desert. To be frank the accomodation options in Villavieja we’re quite minimal and poorly rated, particularly those located in the desert. This was the best we could find on offer, but it’s still a bit basic for western standards. In terms of pros - Rooms - the rooms were large and kept immaculately clean. The beds were large and comfortable. They had sheets but no quilt unfortunately. - Air conditioning worked well - this was particularly appreciated given the heat of the desert. - Wifi worked well - Staff - very friendly. Really couldn’t do enough for you. We had an issue with our lock and they upgraded us immediately. They organised a taxi driver to meet us at neiva at night and bring us out to Villavieja for only 100000COP. Their English was about as good as my Spanish but we managed to communicate using the translator app. - Location - it’s about a 10 minute walk to the town centre which is manageable. Its on the road going out to the red/grey desert and observatory. - Breakfast - was included in the price and was decent. CONS - No hot water - Pool - could definitely use a clean. Lots of dead bugs and a bit cloudy. - Overall feel of the place was more roadside motel than hotel so maybe not as luxurious as I would’ve hoped. Overall a good option for Villavieja standards.
