Macondo Hostel

Perfect hostel for what you want. Lovely common areas and great host who will go above and beyond for you. Do not miss the tejo!

Awesome vibes at this hostel! Such kind, informative and helpful staff. The attention to detail is amazing. Spotless and clean. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be back. Also, best showers in Colombia!

The most wholesome and enjoyable hostel experience i’ve had in Latin America for 2 reasons; 1- Shaun (owner) and his team are so helpful with info, organising adventure activities and getting you involved in local culture 2- you wont find better showers anywhere, honestly. Warm showers that are overly spacious and super clean. A MUST STAY in San Gil

Sean and co were thorough with anything and everything to know here in San Gil. They were unbelievably kind and helpful in all areas, helped with booking activities and the accom was clean + comfortable. However this wasn’t the best part of my time in San Gil. The macondo hostel offers the best showers in South America. With pressure, temperatures and shower space that will blow the soap out of your hand. Incredible. Think I may pop through for one more shower before leaving this country.

Great stop. Staff and owner very helpful in planning and suggestions for day trips.

J’ai passé un très bon séjour à Macondo. L’hostel et la cuisine sont propres et le personnel m’a beaucoup aidé et conseillé pour organiser et réserver les activités. Je recommande vivement

Super! Merci beaucoup

Fantastic place and the all the staff were incredible!

Perfect place to base yourself when exploring San Gil and doing all the extreme sports. The staff were very helpful when recommending tours and getting to other places. Can’t recommend this place enough

Stop scrolling and book this hostel. Can't recommend it enough - it's spotlessly clean and the staff are excellent. They go out of their way to help you book activities and encourage connections between guests, and are super knowledgeable about the local area & happy to share this knowledge with you.

Very nice hostel! Would definitely recommend for your stay in San Gil! The staff was really helpful and helped organizing all of the activities you'd want to do. Good vibes in the hostel!

Rooms are spacious but lacking in lockers but this was fine since the hostel kept the main door locked. The staff were super friendly and keen to get everyone involved in the many outdoor adventures San Gil has to offer. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The kitchen facilities were the best I have seen so far.

One of the best hostels we’ve stayed in. The owner and staff are amazing, the helped us so much with booking tours and everything else we needed. The hostel has such good social areas and the rooms are lovely and clean!! Would defo go back

Un superbe hostel, rapport qualité / prix imbattable, le personnel est très aimable et arrangeant ! Nous avons passé un super séjour à Barichara. Je recommande vivement cette auberge.

Super hostel, il y a un grand extérieur avec plusieurs coin pour se poser et des hamacs trop confortable, le personnel est adorable et toujours pleins de bon conseils et d’aide. Il propose également beaucoup d’activités. Les dortoirs sont très confortable. J’ai aussi fais de magnifique rencontre dans cette hostel alors je recommande fort !!

Quedé muy satisfecho de mi estancia con Shaun y todo su staff. Regresaría con gusto. Es un excelente punto de encuentro y las actividades que se organizan son divertidas. A notar que el jacuzzi no es realmente caliente, pero el cuarto, la cocina y los espacios son muy cómodos.

Séjour incroyable dans cet hostel. Chambre privée très spatieuse et confortable. Mais surtout le staff de l’auberge était vraiment gentil, plein de bons conseils sur les activités à faire et ils essayaient aussi de créer des ponts entre les gens qui voulaient faire les mêmes activités, ce qui est top pour rencontrer du monde quand on voyage solo. La ville est super safe et il y a nombreuses excursions à faire comme des piscines naturelles, la visite de Barrichara ou des sports extrê...

Really enjoyed my stay here. The hostel kind of grows on you and everyone was on a similar vibe and friendly. Shaun and the staff go out of their way to be as helpful as possible.

Had the best time at Macondo. The staff - especially Sean, Diego, and Neffer - were kind, helpful, and pleasant to be around. They helped with booking all the activities and provided recommendations on what to do around town. The space itself was very peaceful for lounging and had everything you’d need for a few days of adventuring! I will be back 🙏🏻

Loved it here - mostly because the owner is so passionate about his place; and the information about all the activities is probably one of the best I’ve come across on all my travels. That alone is worth this hostel over any others, especially in the area where there’s so many activities!
