Visited Medellin for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $62/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $111/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.
