I stayed here for 2 nights after crossing the border to Leticia. It's a little far from center of town, but if you're looking for something peaceful and quiet then it's worth it. There's a mini lake on the property with free use of a canoe. There's a pool and several hammocks for lounging. There's no breakfast, but there's a... More

Gustavo the owner was always willing to help us fill our day or night. He arrived at the airport to collect us. Gave great advice and was a world of knowledge when it came to everything amazonian. Also one night we had drove to Brazil in search for a festival when we found out that the festival was over the... More

Gustavo, the owner, did pick us up at the airport, which was great-- I can't remember if I confirmed ahead of time, but I do know that I was pleasantly surprised that he was there. Otherwise, he wasn't around much (one time he was, and I told him that I was having trouble unlocking the door to my room, and... More

Another Lonely Planet recommendation that fell below my expectations. The owner is both intellectual and shrewd business man without much interest in his guests. He misrepresents his business by claiming on his website and hostel booking sites that Mahatu offers free bicycles and wifi to guests, neither of which are available. “But I have a lake” he told me, as...

These place is really good! It is located on the border with Brazil, a little bit aside from noisy Leticia, and has really big territory. It's like an oasis in the outskirts of the town! Gustavo, the owner, is a very pleasant man, he also offered us a local guide from whom we've bought a 2-day tour to Zacambu, really... More

So i stayed for 3 nights, met Gustavo and his cute cleaner girl :p, and yes Gustavo is slightly eccentric but in a good way. He organised a trip to the jungle for us and we checked the prices of every other tour organiser in the area, and Mahatu was by far the cheapest. The trip they organised was perfect... More

Highly Recommended! Gustavo is a great host at the Mahatu Guest House in Leticia. The hotel has recently moved down the street to 1-40 Calle 7. The hotel is now located on a very large expanse of land with a huge patio overlooking a very nice pond - perfect for a late afternoon chill. The gardens on the property, including... More

Firstly the location seems to have changed, this was not the address printed in Lonely Planet or written above. It seemed to have moved recently to Calle 7 or 8 close to the border. We stayed in a small room with bunk beds which was adequate. When we returned at a later date we shown a really shabby unsecure dorm... More
