Hotels
Colombian hotels vary widely in size and quality; they range from pocket-sized casas de huéspedes (guest houses) in humble homes to huge 5-star establishments. It is advisable to choose hotels recommended by the official Colombian Hotel Association (COTELCO). There is a star grading system similar to that operating in Europe.
Camping/Caravanning
Most Colombian regions have campsites. Some are found in national parks while others are privately run.
Youth Hostels
There are 11 youth hostels scattered around the main tourist destinations, including those in Bogotá, Cartagena and San Agustín.
Motels
These are common in Colombia but are not the same as US-style motels where you stay overnight, and do not make a good choice for travellers. They rent rooms by the hour, and are commonly used by young couples.
