Viajero Tayrona Hostel & Ecohabs

Money was stolen from my purse in the dorm and the way staff handled it was extremely poor. I was repeatedly told cameras were being checked but never received any update. Staff contradicted themselves several times and even denied speaking with me before. I said I felt unsafe and asked to move rooms but this was refused. No refund or support was offered. Messages on WhatsApp were ignored and the manager never contacted me as promised. Very disappointing experience. Longer review on Google.

The pool was nice and the dorm was okay. There’s no kitchen so you’re completely dependent on the restaurant. The food is overpriced and portions are small. They don’t really cater to specific allergies or diets. My whole dorm was up all night to kill mosquitoes because they don’t provide mosquito nets. The national park closed down because of unrest when I was there but the hostel didn’t communicate about it at all. I left early.

Rude staff (at the reception), not welcoming and helpful. Too bad, for a place this beautiful. They lost my laundry and said that I was lying when I said that I dropped it the day before + they lost the bag it was in it. Mounir was really nice tho, thank you for your good energy 🫶🏽

If you are deaf it's the best hostel in the world. Music till 3 AM in the morning for multiple days. Big groups of partying Colombian tourists. The bass keeps you up so if you want to enjoy some rest don't go there. Airconditing is only on from 9 pm to 9 am and didnt work most of the time. Sad to see such a nice place being ruined by hostel management. Not staying there anymore.

Would NOT recommend for solo travellers. Restaurant staff is super slow. Atmosphere is not social. It is not enough to say you have a whatsapp group and ping-pong/volleyball every day - you actually have to create spaces for interaction. No quieter areas. Wifi is really bad (somehow the hotel next door manages to cover the entire area of the viajero but you dont?).

The place was fantastic. The service was fast and the staff were super nice, especially Jess

would not stay here again - go to rio hostel. The worst restaurant service ive ever had they are directionless, food takes over an hour and its average. millions of mosquitos poor bar service (staff seem to talk to each other ans not serve you) reception was unhelpful taking 40mins to check 4 people in amd refusing to put us in the same room despite there being empty beds. wifi does not work in the rooms. beach water is brown and unswimmable with no waves to surf.

I’ve never been so excited to leave a hostel. NOT THE PLACE FOR BACKPACKERS. Reception bribed my friend to leave a good review in exchange for free overnight luggage storage, perhaps why the rating is so high. Advertised as a party hostel but it’s just loud music until 2am and bad party. Restaurant service was so bad. They take advantage of being only food option as portions are small/expensive. We were forced to either eat there multiple times a day or starve. Was almost hit by a coconut tw...

Despite the photos showing an A/C in the room, there was only a ceiling fan which did barely anything and no mosquito nets or any kind of prevention meaning we got severely bitten. My friend got food poisoning and sunstroke but had no way of cooling down. The staff were nice but there are nicer hostels in the area which I suggest looking at.

Al met al geen hostel en niet geschikt voor backpackers. Er was geen keuken dus je wordt verplicht om duur eten te koken, geen WiFi die het doet, überhaupt geen WiFi op de kamer, onvriendelijk personeel, super luide karaoke die je heel duidelijk op de dorms hoort en geen klamboes dus je wordt helemaal lekgestoken.

Très bon endroit, personnel très sympa. Lieu parfait. Je vous recommande

Everything great, WiFi wasn't the best tho even though they have Starlink😂

Gracias Oswald, Increible cette hôtel : le meilleur de la zone !!

I would like to share a small concern from my stay. I experienced some mosquitoes in my room during the night, which was a bit uncomfortable. That said, I really appreciate how your reception team handled it. They quickly arranged fumigation and kindly offered mosquito repellent, also explaining that this can happen due to the rainy conditions and the jungle surroundings, which I completely understand. Thank you for your prompt response and great service. Keep up the good work!!!

Staff was really helpful, they do make you feel comfortable

The Hostel is nice, but it’s just tooo big to be social. The food is not good and the place is too far from everything to just grab food somewhere else. I got the worst food poising in this viajero in my whole 4 months of traveling in Latin America. My dorm was FULL of mosquitos, they didn’t have mosquito nets. They don’t have enough sunbeds for that amount of guests. The music at the pool is very noisy the whole day. Would recommend it.

Apesar de estar solo una noche, estuvo muy bien todo, me dejaron ingresar antes de la hora, me guardaron mi equipaje, tienen un buen restaurante y actividades para estar conocer y pasar el día! Un gran espacio con piscina y amplias zonas para descansar

Lovely hostel but very resort vibes! It’s not really a backpacking spot at all and wouldn’t recommend for solo travellers it was more local tourists in groups etc, they also blast music til 2am making it difficult to sleep at all, I also got up for a Pilates class advertised that wasn’t on. Can be pricey too! But lovely if you want to just chill on the beach for a while

No es un lugar para descansar, es imposible dormir allí porque desde los dormitorios se escucha la música a alto volumen hasta las 2am

Très bel endroit. À quelques pas de la plage. Il s’agit à la fois d’un hostel et d’un hôtel donc il peut s'avérer plus difficile de rencontrer des gens. Somme toute, je recommande.

Really nice Hostel the energy and people always super nice

Only complaint is that there is no stores nearby to walk to if you need anything. Everything else was perfect.

Great hostel on the beach. Very nice pool. Could do with more to prevent bites as got eaten alive in the rooms

The location is beautiful and it has a private beach which is great to relax on. Diego was helpful at reception, and the staff were good. My only issue is that I would rather they didn’t blast music so loud, as is always my issue with the Viajero’s, as it is too loud to talk to each other and stops you sleeping. You can still play music at a more sociable level and it wouldn’t push everyone to go sit elsewhere!!

Nice dorm, they cleaned it daily. The hostel was great, only one thing was very anoying; every day starting from 1pm they started to play super loud raeggeton music at the pool, it was also very loud in the dorm.

Money was stolen from my purse in the dorm and the way staff handled it was extremely poor. I was repeatedly told cameras were being checked but never received any update. Staff contradicted themselves several times and even denied speaking with me before. I said I felt unsafe and asked to move rooms but this was refused. No refund or support was offered.

Great Location. Staff is very friendly and helpful but apparently not properly trained/instructed: Orders take forever, items are forgotten. Food is okay but below viajero average. Coffee is bad. Would come back though, overall very good

This property is crazy huge, it’s like a resort.Unfortunately no kitchen like other Viajeros. My main gripe is that there’s a long road to walk to the hostel from the main drop off point and you have to pay for a moto if you don’t want to walk it, and then another long walk to the room you’re staying at. There should really be a better way to transport all your bags instead of just lugging them everywhere since the property is so large

The pool was nice and the dorm was okay. There’s no kitchen so you’re completely dependent on the restaurant. The food is overpriced and portions are small.

Amazing place!! A lot of places to hang out, bunch of activities to spend the evening and delicious food in the restaurant! We love the facilities and rooms!
