Guest Reviews
- Carolina (10/5): - La habitacion es muy comoda, tiene aire, la piscina estaba limpia y las instalaciones tambien Todo estuvo muy bien
- Rebecca (8/5): - Perfect place to stay in you are going to the El Rio party and don’t want to pay the high prices. El Rio is a 25 minute walk. The room was clean with good AC. The staff were very helpful and friendly - organising us a taxi when there were roadblocks. The pillows!!!!
- Irene (5/5): -
- plazas (8/5): Buena - La ubicación Mantenimiento diario
- Sára Kata (4/5): - Calm, quiet environment and nice pool The wifi didn't work, the tv didn't work, the bar didn't work and there were small bugs in the room and the bathroom.
- Jaad (10/5): -
- Jonathon (9/5): - Gorgeous rooms bar and pool Sometimes it was noisy at night with music and loud talking but it sounded fun
- Conor (10/5): -

- Anselm (8/5): - Schöner Pool und Bar
Nettes personal Geruch vom nachbargrundstueck
- Bruno (8/5): -
- Thomas (2/5): - Location, Wifi, that's about it - Stains in towels (pretty disgusting)
- A mattress that nearly not even allows sleeping due to a sinking whole in the middle (alone, imagine 2 people)
- The vast majority of the time almost no water coming out of the shower
- Party until 4am in the morning of other guest with super loud music on pool site without any intervention of hotel staff (rooms are directly in front and you can hear every word, imagine ultra loud music)
- Party basically continued in the morning the next day, once again no intervention on turning the music maybe on a lower volume
- All in all not worth the money and zero resting possible
- Jorge Luis (10/5): - Muy buena la renovación. El área de piscina muy chevere . Tuve un episodio de salud y en la recepción me brindaron un excelente acompañamiento. Gracias al Mono por su rápida atención. Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme ahí.
- Sebastian (10/5): -
- Mauricio (8/5): Buen hotel para una estancia corta en buritaca - Atención del personal, cercanía a la carretera, seguridad. Tiene piscina. El hotel muy bueno, lo único quizas es que Esta dentro de un barrio, entonces los vecinos ponen música fuerte durante el día y la tarde.
Pero se entiende que uno en esa zona esta de turismo entonces en la noche todo es tranquilo y se puede dormir muy bien.
- Lopez (9/5): un rato de descanso y relax - es hermoso, comodo, limpio, con todo lo necesario, desafortunadamente no pude disfrutar de la piscina por el tiempo tan limitado que estuve, pero con muchas ganas de volver No me gusta el aire acondicionado, entiendo que casi que estan obligados a tenerlo, al recibir la habitación lo apague y al volver al rato a la habitación se sentía muy fria, tuve que dormir arropada con la cobija que tenia la cama, es el único detalle, pero entiendo que la mayoría quiere sentir el frio de Bogotá

- Oscar (8/5): -
- Moisés (8/5): -
- Victor (4/5): - Good location We felt to be in a family house and annoying them. The dog barks a lot, then they did not informed us they organised a birthday for their daughter with plenty of baby and family in the pool, we couldn’t enjoy the pool. They throw cans of beers on the grounds, pool full of toys. We couldn’t enjoy the facility, which is quite frustrating.
Last but not least, we paid for laundry which was supposed to be returned dry in 24h. After 48h we had to remove laundry from the clothesline ourselves…
- Kenjiro (9/5): Comfortable and great value for money - Nice facilities and great value for money. Way better prices than the Rio Hostel, which you can still go to for the parties. Also a nice pool and bar and everything is neat. Friendly staff who were also very friendly to store our luggage for a day when we went to Tayrona for a night. Nothing to complain about to be honest.
- Charlotte (10/5): -
- Ángel (10/5): - El mejor lugar para quedarse justo en el hermoso pueblo de Buritaca, su personal increíble, el lugar bien lindo, la piscina demasiado refrescante y las mejores comodidades ❤️
- Carla (10/5): -
- Flora (10/5): - First place where we had air con in a long time which was a big relief. Simple comfy cool room with Netflix on the tv. We relaxed here after partying at Rio Hostel and it was perfect. There’s also a good cheap place over the road to have some delicious asado.
- Andres (10/5): -
- Daniela (10/5): Volvería - Me gustó el lugar, tiene una pequeña piscina y un bar muy agradables
Es un buen hospedaje para descansar después de conocer la zona y las diferentes playas
Las motos te llevan y te traen a cualquier lugar
El encargado siempre muy amable y divertido
- Emily (9/5): -
- nananzam (9/5): -
- Catalina (10/5): Agradable - Ordenado y limpio, comodo. .
- Andra (10/5): Exceptional - It was very clean and a good place to be. The staff very friendly also✨️
- Jalylle (9/5): Superb - is very comfortable, good located, quiet location and very good price if you are not into sharing bedrooms as most of the hostel around the zone. Staff is really friendly and nice. Would definitely come back here Some minor water pressure issues that were resolved immediately by the staff.
- Sebastian (8/5): Very good -
- Bogdan (9/5): Superb -
- Sebastian (8/5): Very good -
- Joris (8/5): Very good -
- Malik (9/5): Comfortable stay and friendly staff - Perfect for going to Viajero or El Rio and having a private room. Good AC, friendly staff Cold shower (but that's everywhere along the coast), no storage or floor space, no window
- Bryan (7/5): Good -
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Nice and clean. Striking distance to the high street, beach and el rio. Nice to be able to retreat to a clean cold room away from the madness of El Rio, highlt recommend All good baby
- Rakesh (10/5): Exceptional - Nice clean Hotel. The AC was ice cold.
TV was good. Bed was comfy.
Reception staff is great.
Just across the main road in Buritaca where all the buses from Santa Marta stop.
Close to the party hostel Rio.
Better accommodation than a hostel. About 25 minutes pleasant walk to the Buritaca river/ beach.
Reasonably priced.
Highly recommended. All good.
- Kaiya (10/5): Exceptional - Good location - close to main road but away enough to be quiet. Walking distance to El Rio hostel for their parties. There is a great bakery/pizzeria if you turn left at the main road. Clean and comfortable room with air con. Very helpful staff. Nothing bad to say!
- Ana (10/5): Very comfortable with AC - Nice beds!
- Juan (2/5): disappointing but good staff - Decent size room good air conditioning no running water on first day, there was cables running across the room, the door didn’t close or open properly.
- Peter (3/5): Disappointing and unhygienic - Air conditioning No electricity (not the property’s fault) when we arrived but we were assigned a room with no window that was pitch dark in the middle of the. Moved rooms and they realised they had no key for that room and the shower didn’t work. Went back to small room and shower was just a dribble. They said they would turn on the machine outside and the smell in the bathroom became putrid. My partner isn’t sensitive to smell and he was gagging. Staff member on reception told us it was just “humidity”. Ended up having to move back to room that didn’t lock. Realised after we went out that they hadn’t given us a front door key and reception closed at 10pm. No answer to messages or calls. No acknowledgement in the morning. Man on reception was too busy listening to headphones and watching Netflix to help us properly at any point and did not apologise. When we were leaving they gave us a small discount but we would have preferred better manners.
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - AMAZING!! So clean and comfortable. Perfect place to attend El Rio's parties or to just go hang by the river - it is only a very cheap 3 minute moto taxi or a 20 minute walk! The staff are very kind! There is amazing room service, netflix, and self controllable air-conditioning!! I can not recommend it enough!
Also unrelated but "Buritaca Fried Chicken" on the main road is a must!!! Nothing at all!!
- Nix08 (8/5): Always a Pleasure - Loved the top stairs far back room it was a nice change. That the internet didn't work on this night.
- Nix08 (9/5): Lovely! - Service with a smile. Guests in reception area were loud.
- Julia (9/5): Superb -
- Bogdan (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and comfortable! Keinder was very friendly and helpful! Made my stay easier and more pleasant! Good location also to go to rio o el costeno to hang around. I had the bad luck to get a room without window, but nothing problematic for a couple of nights.
- Alexander (6/5): Pleasant - Perfect Location directly on the beach. 1. the Prize is compared to a lot of other hostels in Colombia/caribbean quite expensive. Especially, for the prize I was not expecting, that every filtered water refill and every coffee was charged separately. Another VERY WEIRD THING: it is supposed to be a surf hostel. On the first day I rented a board, which was no problem at all. On the second day I couldn’t rent a surfboard although they had plenty. The told me that this day they would just give surf classes but don’t rent boards to people?! Nobody could explain why, and the boards stayed unused at the hostel. So all the other days of the week I spent my money on a board from chill-surf (can totally recommend that place, great service and good prices!).
- Mark (9/5): Superb - Really good location with excellent staff,
- Mark (10/5): Perfect stay, thank you so much to Isabella for all her help - Great location and very easy to get to. If you are looking to party at El Rio and can’t find accommodation there, this is your best bet.
- Lina (7/5): Good -
- Aimee (1/5): Would not recommend. - Comfortable bed and cold aircon. Food delivered to room if needed. Room with no window, electricity went in the morning - unable to use WiFi, charge phone etc. very very loud music playing downstairs until 3am - music only stopped when I messaged the hotel via booking.com. Very bad night of sleep as a result. Not much to choose from with regards to food in Buritica. Beach is a 2km walk - be aware you have to pay to enter the beach and it is very crowded with local venders. Overall very uncomfortable stay - we left a day early as a result and had no refund from the property!
- Lauren (9/5): Superb -
- Moss (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wael (10/5): above and beyond service - Deymer is the property manager, a young, bright and ambitious man. He put so much energy into ensuring our stay was pleasant and comfortable. the rooms were clean, a great location for the el rip party, away from the chaos when all you’re needing is a cool, clean and private space to lay your head. The room service is exceptional and so cheap. I guarantee you won’t find room service cheaper anywhere else you book. Deymer, was such a great host, he even took us to his families house/farm. he showed us all his animals, and his mum offered us fresh fruit from their backyard. I really felt like this man went above and beyond to give us one of the most authentic and cultural experiences we’ve had in Colombia. There’s no hot water in the shower.
- Maire_kane (10/5): Great - We loved our stay here. Very clean room and room service was very fast and the food was delicious. Deymer the manager was very accommodating. I had left my passport in my room after I left for Santa Marta and he organised a taxi to drop it to my new hostel. Excellent stay at Buricata Hostel and I would definitely recommend. Also, free coffee!
- Anna (9/5): Superb - It's really simple but clean and nice with air con. They provide towels and soap in the room and we we were happy to stay there after a party in El Rio hostel. The rooms could have more decoration or a window and the shower could have more water pressure.
- Finn (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lorena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Henry (7/5): Good - The place was of a good location on the main road travelling through Buritaca. We stayed here for convenience of close by El Rio Hostel which was a short mototaxi journey away. It was fit for purpose but we didn't do anything else here other than to sleep and shower as there wasn't much else on offer. I think the rooms and overall space could be improved to feel more welcoming and relaxing to stay. The wifi was a poor connection that kept cutting out but was easily resolved when rebooting the router.
- Marina (9/5): Superb - Location was great, staff were helpful, good amenities & filter water and coffee for guests!
- Roy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - very clean and comfortable. well looked after by the staff. a great cheap alternative to some other places in the area. you can go and use the facilities at most other hostels so a great budget option
- Jasmine (10/5): Exceptional - This is a much better alternative to El Rio. We paid the same price for a double room with an en suite for 2 people as one night in a 23 bed dorm for one person in El Rio. Feels like a hotel/ guesthouse and is super clean and comfy. Can either get a Moto taxi to el Rio in 4 mins or it's about a 25 min walk. We still spend the days and evening in El Rio for free and came back here to sleep. Totally recommend and don't worry, Moto taxis are still available all night. Room had Aircon and a TV
- Lauren (8/5): Very good -
- Emmy (10/5): Exceptional - the ac was wow considering the village!
but most importantly the owners are super nice and were willing to help me with anything i needed, and the location is right in the middle of rio and viajero, 3 minute motor drive
- Ras (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maya (10/5): Exceptional - we loved the staff working
- Aisling (5/5): Passable - not any facilities .. not even coffee in the morning.
- Steve (8/5): Daymar the new manager was great, helpful before we arrived and when we were there, excellent - Good quiet location set off the bust main road. Free coffee was very welcome, paid a bit extra to have access to the terrace which was well worth it. Inside rooms have no natural light No hot water
- Maia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Davy (9/5): Superb - Nice clean facility, comfy beds. Good place to stay to get a break from Rio hostel
- Caitlan (8/5): a great comfortable nights stay in between party hostels - welcome and cool night after el Rio - great air con and Ana is lovely and very accommodating not much else around the property eg restaurants etc
- Rex (9/5): Superb -
- Neza (8/5): Clean and spacious room in Buritaca - - New apartments, good location and very clean.
- Kind and helpful staff - Quite pricey for the town and also no option of breakfast at the property
