Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are nice and the kitchen area and pool are great too. Highlight for us was breakfast which was incredible and included. Only thing was that we arrived at the property 2 hours before check in and we were made to wait all the way to the minute before we could get our room even though it was ready which we thought was a bit strange. We thought surely we could go in 20-30 mins earlier since we were just sitting there waiting.

Not great for Solo backpackers. Zero atmosphere at the hostel, staff don’t really give you any recommendations on what to do or where to go. Also they are very stingy with the Aircon only having it on during the night leaving when it is VERY humid in Santa Marta. Would never stay here again.

average or below average in all respects, but there was a volunteer making a fool of himself by making false accusations, being unable to calculate simple math (ie 2 nights costs), and he slept in the dorms but smelled really bad. would never go back or recommend due to poor management.

Pas mal, mais franchement il va falloir investir dans de la vaisselle, poêles, ustensiles de cuisine etc. Et les chambres sont des fours matin midi et soir, la Clim à partir de 22h seulement qui ne marche pas… il faudrait penser à la réparer svp

Great hostel in great location, the staff were really friendly and were always willing to help - not social but I found it nice for a few days solo. Also a nice break after Tayrona hiking with fans on all the beds, good breakfast, literally 2 minutes from the beach.

Ich war in 2 Unterkünften in Santa Marta. im Gegensatz zu meiner zweiten Unterkunft wurde hier sowohl für die Gepäckaufbewahrung als auch für ein Handtuch Geld verlangt. Das Personal war aber sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und es gab sowohl ein Bad im Dorm als auch eins auf dem Flur.
