- Grayson (8/5): -
- Patricia (8/5): Tranquilo - Es tranquilo y la atención excelente. Se debe mejorar el servicio de baño por problemas en la ducha. De resto, la alimentación, atención y habitación, excelentes.

- Joana (10/5): - Super friendly staff, clean rooms and confortable beds.
- Lola (9/5): -
- NT-FF (10/5): - Es sind so freundliche und herzliche Menschen die das Hostel dort führen. Sie kümmern sich als Familie um alles. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und hatten eine schöne Zeit dort. Sie machen auch ein tolles Frühstück. Die madraze im unteren Bett müsste mal getauscht werden.
- Carlos (7/5): - La ubicación frente al mar. Que la habitación para 3 quede hacia el manglar
- Mari (10/5): Great stay by the beach if you are looking for a eco sutanable and peaceful place. - The staff was pretty amazing - welcoming and kind Also Maria, the Manager is an excellent cook. Her breakfasts were the best Location is perfect. A little walk from the entrance point, and pretty peaceful
- Carmen (6/5): - Die Unterkunft liegt direkt am Strand und beim Frühstück hat man eine gute Aussicht. Kaffee gibt es so viel man will. Das Badezimmer war okay. Der Wasserdruck war öfter nicht vorhanden, weder in der Dusche noch bei der Toilette. Die frischen Handtücher hatten schon einige Gebrauchsspuren. Für den Preis könnte man im Vergleich etwas mehr erwarten.
- Vilhelmina (10/5): - Trevlig personal! Och boendet var mysigt, man får de man betalar för! Härligt plats med restauranger runt om och precis vid vattnet. Boendet erbjuder även stollar vid stranden som man kan sitta på och njuta. Frukosten var prefekt med mycket och varierande mat!
- Juan Felipe (9/5): -
- Renee (10/5): - Posto semplice e stupendo davanti al mare! La coppia che gestisce l’hotel é molto gentile e disponibile. Colazione buonissima ogni mattina inclusa. Le camere non sono insonorizzate, piacevole sentire il rumore delle onde, ma non gli altri ospiti.
- Emanuele (9/5): -
- India (10/5): One of the best hostel I’ve stayed in - Everything!!! The staff are amazing
- Massimiliano (7/5): -
- Gaël (10/5): -
- Anne (10/5): Le couple qui gère cet Hostal est hyper serviable et attentionné - L’accueil, les pieds dans l’eau, l’excellent petit déjeuner Il y a eu des coupures de courant mais ce n’est pas de leur fait ,
- Valentina (6/5): Justo para lo necesario - La atención de las personas que administran es excelente El alojamiento está ok, no es muy lindo estéticamente, pero tiene lo necesario, la cortina de la ducha es muy corta y hace que se moje todo el baño luego de usarla. El desayuno es delicioso, las arepas saladas son increíbles. Durante nuestra estancia se fue la luz durante 3 días, lo cual dificultó mucho la estancia, también se incendiaron varios hostales, este no corrió peligro, pero por todas estas calamidades, la estancia no fue tranquila. Son eventos aislados, pero la atención de Maria, su hija y su esposo estuvo siempre disponible y de la mejor manera.
- Diana (9/5): - La atención, el desayuno muy rico, la habitación muy cómoda y limpia. El lugar muy tranquilo, la verdad me encantó y volvería al lugar. Considero que puede mejorar un poco la presión del agua en la ducha, ya que el chorro que cae en la habitación que me tocó es muy poquito.
- Thomas (10/5): - It's a simple yet sufficient accommodation, directly at the beach and with amazing breakfast. The rooms are more like wooden beach cabins, but yet provide everything you need. It's perfect for enjoying Tayrona beaches in a quiet atmosphere, still in walking distance to the party Hostels. Just keep in mind that the music from the neighbouring bar turns off at 10 pm. Special thanks to our kind and warm-hearted hosts :)
- Rubén (9/5): - Desayuno completo y rico, estar frente al mar escuchando las olas
- Paola (10/5): - Todo estuvo increíble !
- Julian (8/5): -
- Mathieu (9/5): Personnel ADORABLE, emplacement TOP, merci ! - Un accueil chaleureux, comme à la maison, très bien situé face a la mer Chambre privée mais cloisons ouvertes au plafond, équipements un peu vétuste
- Jessica♡ (10/5): - Me gustó la ubicación, los desayunos y la comida que vendían a los alrededores, además de que su playa es muy tranquila y está el río cerca, también la atención de la señora María fue muy buena. Todo estuvo bien.

- Carlos (8/5): -
- Isabel (10/5): Super schöner Ort um zu Entspannen - Die Lage ist top, das Frühstück super lecker. Das Zimmer sehr sauber, komfortabel und mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Die Hängematten vor dem Zimmer waren mein Highlight. Die Besitzer des Hotels sind super lieb und sehr herzlich!
- Robin (10/5): Sehr sehr schön - Lage perfekt, super entspannt zum runterkommen. WLAN hat erst nicht funktioniert aber konnte dann sofort repariert werden Kaffee war leider schrecklich

- Maria Paula (7/5): - La ubicación y la atención Estaba muy sucio todo, cucarachas muertas en el baño la cama estaba caída la loza todo el tiempo sucia.
- Anika (8/5): - Die Unterkunft liegt schattig und hat auch vor dem Haus Schatten, da ein paar große Palmen günstig stehen! Gold wert bei hohen Temperaturen an diesem schattenarmen Strand! Strom und Wifi fallen ständig aus - ist aber am ganzen Strand so!
- Murillo Monsalve (10/5): - Amabilidad Todo estuvo magnífico
- Juan Diego (10/5): Estuvo increíble. Un cuarto muy cómodo y personal muy amigable. Nos ayudó con todo lo q necesitábamos! Volveremos sin du -

- Lizeth (8/5): - La atencion y la cercania con el. Mar
- Alexandre (10/5): Un très bon endroit où séjourner à Mendihuaca - Face à la mer, sur la plage de Mendihuaca, le petit déjeuner les pieds dans le sable, les hamacs, la gentillesse de Maria. On devait rester 3/4 jours, on a prolongé pour 10 jours ! Rien !
- Erwin Adrian (10/5): - Todo
- David (6/5): Tranquila y placentera - LA ubicación es inmejorable, justo en frente de la playa y hay muchos restaurantes y actividades para hacer en los alrededores, como caminatas, surf, Kayak y cabalgatas El hostal parece un poco descuidado, hace falta remplazar varias luces fundidas en la iluminación externa y quitar unos plásticos que bloquean la vista en la parte de atrás. Quizás unas plantas mejorarán el aspecto también.
- Giulia (8/5): -
- Dominik (9/5): - Very friendly staff, nice balcony facing the beautiful and not too crowded beach Unfortunately they don't offer filtered water so you have to buy water from the plastic bottle (3l for 12000 Cop) which gets quite expensive when you staying there for a couple of days
- Jose (9/5): Perfect place to relax and enjoy a long weekend. The hostal exceeded my expectations in many ways - Breakfast. The best and so much variaty. The owners were very kind A bit noisy past 7 in the morning while the staff was cleaning the common areas of the property. Other than that, everything awesome.
- Nadine (6/5): A cheap option directly on the beach - At this beach i think this is the cheapest option. And it´s nice to have a wood room with seaview with a terrace in front, where you can lay in a hammock just 10 meter away from the sea with little surf possibilities. The personal is super friendly and the breakfast was one of the best we had in Columbia. It´s dirty and the rooms (including the bathroom) have no ceilings - so its open to the rest oft the house and you can hear everything and you do not really have a noise privat sphere on the toilett ;) Next to the hostal is a bar playing load terrible music all day till 10pm. So it´s not really quiet because of that.
- Noah (9/5): Superb -
- Leila (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexander (9/5): Superb -
- Zsófia (9/5): Superb - We loved our stay at Mendihuaca, would have loved to stay longer! It’s a super cute hut right on the beach, if you open the door of your room, you can directly see the sea. Super chill! Restaurants and bars are right next to the accommodation, and you can also rent a surfboard. You can get your laundry done and buy drinks. Breakfast was also included. Staff was helpful. Recommended! The floor is made of wood and it’s a bit old so it gives a bit unclean feeling. Also, the rooms don’t have a separate ceiling so you can hear other people from the rooms.
- Carolina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carolina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast. The calm environment of the owners. To drink coffee all day long.
- Kane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - The location at the beach is outstanding. A tropical beach paradise! If you don't like the waves at the beach, there is a river mouth closeby where you can swim leasurly. We ennjoyed the combination. The restaurant next doors is one of the best we found in the whole of Colombia in 5 weeks. The owner family was very responsive and attentive. Breakfast service was a little bit slow at times. Noone spoke English.
- Stephanny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luis (3/5): Poor - The location was amazing, the food nearby was also great, very plesant stay with a lovely view The water pressure is low, frequently there's no water or energy which could become a problem easily, the guy in charge seems like he did not care about your request or consider as a service person, he kept the change at the end of my stay, promise to pay back....never did.
- Lennard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hamish (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tatiana (8/5): Very good -
- Norman (9/5): Superb -

- Luca (3/5): Poor -
- Paulina (10/5): Little piece of haven - Estrellas del Tayrona playa is family owned hostal. It’s located on a beautiful peaceful beach, away from the crowds. But here you will find everything you need for perfect getaway. Our room with private bathroom, small balcony with the hammocks and stunning view was exactly what we needed. One reason why this hostal was quieter than the others was that this hostal has no restaurant or bar, but they serve breakfast. There are a handful of delicious restaurants to choose from right there on the beach. This was perfect place to chill, surf and dine. The hardest thing was to leave this place.
- Jana (9/5): Superb - Small accommodation with really nice hosts, directly on the beach (like everything in Mendihuaca). View on the ocean. Balcony with a hammock. Simple breakfast included. Saltwater shower. Fan next to the bed.
- Krzysztof (8/5): Very good -
- Paula (8/5): Very good -
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carlos (10/5): Exceptional - Personal service attention
- Riley (7/5): Good -
- Marie (6/5): An okay stay at the beach - It is a very good location. Maria was very kind and answered fast, and helped us with a transfer from Minca :). The place had free coffee , breakfast was ok Our room was not clean at all when we checked-in. All though Maria was very understanding when we told her, she immediately cleaned , it was a minus . Also the hostal seems a bit “tired” and needs some maintaining .
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mishori (7/5): Good - amazing people and hosts!! so nice and kind, when we got too hot they installed another fan in the room! a little too hot and low steam in the shower
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location on the beachfront, the owners were friendly and did a fantastic job of sweeping sand out to keep it clean Able rent surf boards and surf within a short walk. Can watch the surfers from the hotel searst. It was still possible to swim in the wave, or go down to the river for calmer water and excellent views of the jungle All the hotels along the beach are pretty much the same but here the chairs out front were in the shade all day which wasn't the case for all of them which was a big bonus
- Cristian (7/5): Good -
- Julius (10/5): Exceptional - Very unique directly at a calm beach. You hear waves. Super nice hosts. Really good for surfing. Relaxing. Less mosquitos than expected. Crabs on the beach. Waves could be loud but this is nature.. Freshwater is not as nice as in the city in this area. Restaurants close early because this is a natural area.
- Dalys (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carolina (8/5): One of the best hostels in Mendihuaca Beach - The location was the best! Yeison & Maria were incredible hosts and amazingly accommodating and answered all of our questions! We were very grateful for their hospitality! This is as good as it can get in terms of location! The hostel is a very beautiful wooden cottage, we first saw it a year ago and they have come a long way, making improvements in the property and services! In terms of cleanliness, the place was spotless! Very clean and well kept! We loved our room, it felt very private (but perhaps because we had a couple of days w/o other guests) and the balcony made the room so charming! We will definitely go back soon! Everything was perfect, perhaps as a suggestion lower the shower curtain a bit so when you are taking a shower, the bathroom doesn't get all wet! I would also suggest adding an extra shelf on the wall so guests can have more space to accommodate clothes or belongings.
- Thomas (8/5): Will book again any time soon! Value for money. - Beautiful location, very basic room but fitting in to the beautiful nature. No da od included but plenty of good little restaurants right next door as well as surf and kayak rental. No ocean view for the large room (4 people) and the rear balcony was covered in plastic (probably for rain protection), so in the afternoon it got quite hot.
- Angie (9/5): Superb -
- Ariel (8/5): Very good -
- Henry (7/5): Good - This property is a true beach hostel, i.e. open to the elements, no wifi, no hot water. It was a nice placer to go switch off for a night and the staff were helpful and accepted card there was no wifi even though it was promised. The rooms are small and very open to the elements. Past 4pm there is only one place serving food or drink within a 40 min journey time
- Stefan (7/5): Good -
- Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shannon (8/5): Simple beachfront guesthouse - worth a stay! - Lovely little guesthouse directly on the beach! Really can't beat the location, close to other guesthouses/little hostels and a few small restaurants. So amazing to wake up and be able to look at the ocean and walk right out onto the beach. When we arrived they said there had been a mix-up with our room so they upgraded us to the private ocean-view rooms for the same price. There is no kitchen and the restaurants nearby close early. There's also no potable water provided and it gets expensive and wasteful to buy plastic bottles all the time (we travel with a water filter but are unsure about using it so close to the beach). These are not really the hostel's fault though.
