We stayed for 5 nights and everything about our stay exceeded expectations. The view was great and of course every part of our room and the hotel was spotless and the food was top chef quality. But beyond all of that, the entire staff went far above and beyond to provide us with the best possible time at Arvum Hotel Botique. That includes the dog and parrot. What a wonderful time we all had.
The hotel is luxurious, cozy, and you feel as if you were in a typical Colombian farm all at once! The food is incredible and so is the service. Absolutely love dining with La piedra in the background. Will be coming back!
Our experience was amazing! Marietta and Felipe made our stay worries free. The food was delicious and the place very beautiful.
I highly recommend it for a relaxing gateway.
I had a wonderful stay at the Arvum Hotel Boutique. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had a nice shower. The hotel had a stunning. The location was perfect, close to many attractions and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting El Peñol
It was an incredible experience, very peaceful, next to the mountains, the place is very beautiful. I think it is magnificent that there are animals. The food is wonderful, I was very surprised, how delicious it was. Many thanks to the Arvum family for making us feel at home. We will definitely return.
💛💙❤️
The place is amazing, calm and the view is standing ✨.
The room is beautiful and the food delicious.
Amazing.
Not one complain.
100 percent recommend this.
Arvum isn't just a hotel it feels like home. Felipe and his mother were amazing hosts. The rooms are well put together and have a great view of el penon. The restaurant at the hotel is delicious and fresh as the food is grown on the property. If you are looking to relax outside of the main city, Arvum is your spot. Felipe will coordinate taxis and other experiences in Guatape. I couldn't recommend this place more and cannot wait to visit again.
We were amazed on the great property Arvum lands on. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Out breakfast had a very nice touch from the kitchen, we regret that we didn't have dinner the night before, but we had a plentiful lunch in downtown Guatape. Rooms, beds, linens and bathrooms we're high in class. Although the hotel is somehow distant from downtown Guatape it was very easy to arrange for transportación. The "moto chivas" are a very good experience. The only but at this moment is that the water level is at a historical low, but expectation from local people is that it Will replenish in a couple of months, even with this we deeply enjoyed our Guatape 2 day stay.
We first arrived early, and they accommodated us which we thought was very nice. The view of El Penol is fantastic. The Jacuzzi on the balcony had a perfect view. We went for dinner and service was very good and the staff was friendly and attentive. Our food arrived in a timely manner and was in a word "amazing". They grow a lot of what is served and is fresh and prepared very very well. Seasoning and cooking methods are done to a level seen in very fine restaurants. Breakfast was the same. The bar is a great option not just for drinks but to socialize with the guest and staff as well if they have the time. Philip was great and is Bi-lingual. Sweet People. Great place you won't regret it.
We arrived at Arvum Boutique Hotel at dusk. The final 500 meters to the hotel are on a narrow, unpaved road, but our car had no issues. Felipe greeted us warmly and showed us to a fantastic room with three beds, where we spent two very comfortable nights. The hotel and room offer breathtaking views of the Piedra del Peñol and the lush Antioquian landscape, full of vibrant vegetation and birds, with the iconic rock visible in the distance.
The breakfast at Arvum is à la carte and absolutely delicious, especially enjoyed in the restaurant with its spectacular view, surrounded by avocado trees and various birds. The food is incredibly fresh, with most ingredients sourced from the hotel’s own land. During our stay, we visited the Piedra del Peñol, reaching it in charming tuk-tuks. After climbing the 750 steps, we were rewarded with stunning views from the top.
Felipe then suggested we visit the La Araña area on the road to San Rafael to explore hidden waterfalls and rivers. Thanks to his guidance, we discovered beautiful spots in the forest that we wouldn’t have found on our own. We also enjoyed an authentic Saturday afternoon in San Rafael, dining at a local restaurant Felipe recommended.
Later, he took us to La Posada de las Aves for birdwatching, where we sipped delicious coffee in a garden filled with hummingbirds. After a day of adventure, we relaxed in our room’s giant jacuzzi. We had dinner at the hotel both nights, and the homemade food was delightful. Thank you Arvum !

Disappointed
Good hôtel and good good.
But very disappointed by the lack of beach (no bar, no volley ball court available, compared with what was described on the website…)
And anyway swimming in the lake is forbidden, because of water quality…!
La habitación Graikos , espectacular , impresionante el hotel en general , buen desayuno incluido . El restaurante para almuerzo y cena buenisimo y a buen precio . El personal atento especialmente Juan Felipe . Totalmente recomendado y definitivo en mi caso , volveré a este maravilloso hotel .
Séjour de 3 nuits à Guatapé ; hôtel fantastique d'une propreté irréprochable avec chambre vue sur le rocher.
L'extérieur, salle de restaurant, bar etc .... très bien entretenu ; petit déjeuner excellent. Nous avons même diner, carte simple mais tellement bien préparé. Et le personnel, d'une gentillesse et à notre service. Vraiment MERCI. Pas prêt d'oublié ce séjour ....
Todo el hotel está en excelentes condiciones, es muy agradable llegar y ver los detalles y sobre todo la ubicación. Tienes de frente a la piedra del Peñol. Pero lo mejor de todo esto es el servicio que te da todo el personal en especial Felipe que nos atendió muy bien
El Hotel es muy elegante y acogedor. La vista desde la habitación era hermosa: se vé el Peñol de Guatapé. El servicio y la atención fueron excelentes y nos agradó mucho la conversación que tuvimos con Marieta. Nos dieron un paseo en un tik tok hasta la ribera del cuerpo de agua y pasamos un rato muy agradable allí observando el paisaje. Feliz de haber escogido este hotel.
