I stayed at Balu for 6 weeks in early 2025. The rooms are nice, the facilities and shared spaces are super clean, and the company was great! Jo and Diana go above and beyond trying to make their guest's experiences amazing. They organize weekly activities like movie nights, BBQs, hikes, dinners, and even take you around town to show you around. I felt so blessed having them around to give me tips for activities, food spots, and making feel at home. I would highly recommend and will be back next time in in Medellin.

I’ve spent eight years as a digital nomad and backpacker, and in that time, Balu has consistently ranked among the best places I’ve experienced. They offer high-quality accommodation at fair prices in a prime Laurelles location. The environment strikes a great balance: it’s clean and respectful for work during the day, yet lively enough in the evenings to connect with fellow nomads over a beer or at a dance class. The owners are exceptionally friendly and always go the extra mile to help. I highly recommend Balu above any other Coliving in Medellín.

Balu is a gem is beautiful city! I loved my time there - the space was so nice and clean, the community was fun and exciting, and the hosts were active and engaged! Would completely return!

Balu Coliving is one of my favorite coliving spots in the world—and I've stay at over 10 of them across 4 continents. The rooms look *exactly* like the pictures, which is rare in the hospitality industry! It's beautifully decorated, with plants everywhere and a peaceful vibe. Joe and Diana are fun, friendly, and down-to-earth, while also remaining on top of everything (it's clean and incredibly well organized). There are reasonable rules in place to ensure a tranquil environment where people can work, relax, and enjoy life. They also have plenty of fun events to build community, and they attract great people. I booked here for 6 weeks to see what it was like, and ended up booking for 6+ months. If you're open, friendly, respectful, and responsible, and clean, it's a great place to stay.
