Guest Reviews
- Javier (9/5): -
- Matt (10/5): Chilling - The View and the location The View
- Vere (10/5): Perfecr voor deze prijs - De aardige gastheer en -vrouw.
Het ontbijt was heel lekker
Het zwembad had een prachtig uitzicht
- Sandra (10/5): - We had a great stay at Cristal Tayrona. Ana and Guillermo gave us a warm welcome and made us feel at home immediately. The hostel is located very close to the Tayrona national park, surrounded by forest. The view from the rooftop pool is absolutely spectacular, especially at sunset. Our room was comfortable and clean. In the morning we enjoyed a tasty breakfast on the terrace. Communication with Ana and Guillermo was great, they gave us helpful tips for the national park and kindly allowed us to leave our luggage during the park visit. We would come back anytime, thanks so much!
- simon (8/5): Conforme à la description - Personnel très gentil, très accueillant Rapport qualité / prix, un peu cher à mon goût
- Aiden (10/5): Absolutely excellent - Excellent location, easy access to Tayrona national park. Guillermo was an excellent host, even with my limited Spanish he helped us to navigate the buses to my next destination. Nothing to note
- Andrea Patricia Andrea (10/5): Maravilloso 🤩 - La atención de don Guillermo fue maravillosa, todo estuvo perfecto, el lugar es increíble, la piscina deliciosa, el desayuno maravilloso. Todo excelente.
- Iñigo (8/5): -
- Hannah (10/5): Great stay at Cristal Tayrona - We really enjoyed our stay at Cristal Tayrona, especially the infinity pool, from which the views were breathtaking!
- Jette (7/5): -
- Maurice (8/5): Would recommend. - The location was great and staff was very very nice. Water was leaking and they fixed it immediately. Definitely recommend. The steps are high to get to the pool so if you can't walk the pool is inaccessible.
- Torbjørn (10/5): -
- Silvia (10/5): Exceptional - This is just a few minutes (by bus) from the park entrance. It had incredible views... It's absolutely worth the climb up the stairs! I extended my stay by a day to enjoy it by the pool in the Hammack as I found the view nicer than the actual park. Very friendly and helpful staff. There isn't much in the way of restaurants for dinner, so you may want to bring something, or there is a small store for snacks/drinks 50m away. The room I had (at the top of the hill) was huge with strong AC.
- Glenn (9/5): Excellent rooms and views at the top as long as you can climb 150 steep stairs to get there. - The two rooms at the top have excellent views. They are modern and clean. The swimming pool was good. I think these are the only rooms at the top, so maybe you can have this area to yourself. Guillermo and Ana were very friendly and helpful. MAJOR WARNING: If you book the rooms at the top, you must climb about 150 stairs! This is quite steep and not always with handrails. At times it reminded me of climbing pyramids in central america. If you have any mobility issues at all, you may not make it.
- Nuno (7/5): Good -
- Andres (10/5): Breathtaking location, Guillermo and Ana were super helpful and friendly. - Fantastic, breathtaking location. You can see the horizon in the comfort of the pool. Staff was friendly and gave good recommendations to get around the area. Everything was good.
- Karim (7/5): Nice people and the Jonathon, the kid is such a fun to talk to - The pool which is a bit of a hike to get to but worth it It’s quite noisy as is right by the highway
- James (9/5): Hidden gem on the edge of Tayrona National Park - The view from the hilltop swimming pool is very special, and well worth booking to experience! The hostel itself has very friendly staff, who offer to drop off / pick up for wherever you need to go for a lower price than local taxis / motos.
We were quite surprised at how reasonable the price was given the beautiful location. Breakfast was lovely, and there’s also a couple of nice restaurants nearby for the evenings.
Guillermo and his whole family are very welcoming, friendly and accommodating too.
Perfect spot to relax for a couple of days before/after visiting Tayrona! Only minor negative was the lack of shops/restaurants nearby - but there’s enough nearby to keep you going for a couple of days!
- Felix (10/5): Exceptional - The owners are absolutely wonderful people who provided us with amazing recommendations for food and places to see. They drove us to the beach and suggested only amazing restaurants. Nothing, it was amazing.
- Adel (9/5): Amazing stay - The pool on the top of the hill with a view absolutely to die for Nothing really. Good value for money and an amazing owner
- Nasrin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fryderyk (8/5): A comfortable stay near Tayrona - The location is great and perfect for visiting the national park. The infinity pool is a highlight - although a workout to get up there! There is AC in the rooms and WiFi, and a fridge full of drinks to purchase! There’s a great restaurant opposite the road as well that offers food. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly, always helping us to flag down a motor taxi! During our stay there were constant power cuts meaning the WiFi and AC were made redundant - one of our nights became very uncomfortable because of this. The pool can be used by all the guests however is located outside of a suite on top of the hill and made us feel as though we were intruding on other guests when going for a swim.
- Delia (10/5): I would definitely come here again! The views from the infinity pool are out of this world! - Amazing location, great staff and good breakfast. Room with AC and the best thing is the infinity pool. What a sunset view! We liked everything
- Julia (9/5): Loved it! - The property has an amazing pool with the view.
The owner Guillermo is very nice and helpful. The location is great. Pool, friendly staff, view
- Caitlin (10/5): Excellent - Super good location, host is so lovely, breakfast is generous, host helped us with things to do. I really recommend this hostal for Tayrona very much. We were so pleased with ourselves to book this.
- Antonia (10/5): Nice family owned hostal - Very friendly family owned hostel! The family and their children are super nice and have a lot of Tipps about things to do in this area. They also showed us around. They were very kind. Breakfast was delicious as well! The pool is quite "far" up the hill. But it's a nice workout and it takes only a couple of minutes. So basically it wasn't a bad thing. Also, the view is more than worth it!
- Elizabeth (7/5): Good -
- Harry (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible breakfast, patient and kind staff
- Jules (9/5): Superb - Super location close to the national park that you can easily reach by bus or motortaxi. Owners are very friendly and helpful and dropped us of at the beach. Still some work to do around the swimming pool but the view from it is very nice.
- Petr (10/5): It was a pleasure to stay at Hostal Cristal. - The owners are very friendly and welcoming. They’ll always help you with any problem that you might have.
- William (3/5): Seemed like they were kind of ripping us off and having no windows in our room was a vibe killer - The included breakfast was ok. Eggs and fruit were good but the toast was soggy and the coffee was weak instant coffee. The room that we were put in didn't have any windows and felt very grim. Additionally we were charged 10,000 pesos to use the shared shower which seemed like they were just scamming us for random stuff that they thought of as they went along. Also the pool had extremely limited open hours which meant that we never got to use it. They said that was because it was brand new and was having some teething problems.
- Niels (10/5): Exceptional - People are really friendly!
Swimmingpool has a amazing view!
- Steffan (5/5): Passable -
- Vincent (9/5): Great place - Very friendly owners. Breakfast was good. The pool is amazing best view compared to other hotels in the area, room was clean. ( for dinner go across the road to casa Isabella) Next to the road so when outside its really noisy, be prepared for a lot of stairs up the hill to reach the pool as this is not close to the room(what is a luxury problem)
- Anonymous (10/5): Fantastic! - 20 minute walk to the Zaino entrance of Tayrona.
The owners are unbelievably helpful and responsive, including driving me to places for a small fee and allowing my friends to leave their bags!
- Fiona (9/5): Comfy room with beautiful hosts. - Lovely little family run hostel. They were lovely.
- Gjasmin (10/5): Perfect stay to visit Tayrona Park - The family who ons the small guesthouse/bed and breakfast is absolutely lovely and very helpful as well! All the rooms have airconditioning, the beds are comfortable and the bathroom is very clean. It is nice and quite and the breakfast that's included with your stay is good and very filling.
This is the perfect stay to visit Tayrona Park! They were sweet enough to hold our big backpacks while we stayed in the park overnight and we could even use the shower for a small fee the day after to freshen up before travelling on. Highly recommend!
- Riley (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (9/5): This was a great place, our hosts were amazing. We had a very good breakfast each day! - Great place to stay, the hosts were very kind and helpful.
- Jasmina (8/5): Very good - Really nice and kind hosts, very good wifi, tasty breakfast Water pressure in the shower is pretty low
- Stuart (9/5): Hreat family-run budget option for staying near the park entrance - good sized comfy double bed
air con in the room
easy to find - right on main road
lovely family running it water in the shower wasn’t hot
- Kopf (10/5): Good hostel with lovely tenants in strategic place, close to many points of interest - Ana and Guillermo made me feel very welcome and helped me whenever they could. I was lucky there cause I was traveling alone and they helped me with everything and cared. Very recommended. Bus stops in front of the door, so super practical to find and get anywhere. Nothing
- Rami (8/5): Very good -
- Sharon (8/5): Very good -
