All Colombian citizens, regardless of the length of their stay, and all foreigners who stay in the country for at least 60 consecutive days, are required to pay a national sales tax (19%) on their accommodation during their stay. Foreign citizens with a tourist visa are exempt from paying this tax. If the person subject to tax and another person exempt from tax share the same room, the rate may be applied to the entire room. Please note, a guarantee cash deposit must be done at check-in time. The deposit will be returned at check-out time providing the rooms are in good conditions. A cleaning fee will also be collected upon check-in.
