Guest Reviews

• Norbert (9/5): - Very nice hostel close to the beach ans the village of El Valle. Relaxing stay in nature, the hosts Angelica and Santiago are very friendly and helpful. Thank you very much for your hospitality 😊
• Mattew (10/5): - La tranquilidad. Personal muy amable y atento
• Antoine (9/5): Great hostal - On s’y sent tout de suite très bien. L’auberge est jolie, pleine de couleurs, et parfaitement propre. La cuisine est bien équipée, et le petit-déjeuner d’Angelica est vraiment excellent. La terrasse est un vrai plus : on peut s’y détendre dans plusieurs hamacs, dans une ambiance très agréable. L’auberge propose également un listing d’activités, et les hôtes sont disponibles et attentifs en cas de besoin. La chambre classique a deux est très petite. Il y a peu d'espace pour poser ses affaires. Celle un peu plus chère est bien plus grande.
• Kornelia (10/5): - Wspaniałe miejsce! Pokój w hostelu ładny i czysty z moskitierą i wiatrakiem. Dostęp do kilku wspólnych łazienek. Plaża jest 3 minuty od hostelu, w pobliżu dobra restauracja. W hostelu można było zarezerwować sobie super wycieczki. Personel był bardzo pomocny i łatwo było dogadać się po angielsku. Bardzo polecamy! ☺️
• Elysia (10/5): Nice home feel, affordable and relaxing stay - Just a really nice chill place. Great upstairs terrace to hang out and chill in the hammock. Very close to the beach, has a kitchen you can use and everyone is very friendly.
• Noa (9/5): - Perfect location between the village and the beach, wonderful staff. We really loved the place The room is *very* small, and everything (tours, room etc) is in cash and there are no ATMs so you have to carry a crazy amount of cash on you
• Noa (10/5): - Perfect location between the village and the beach. The staff were really outstanding, helped us book tours and arrange transportation and overall solve problems that came up. Everything was in cash and ATMs aren't available so you have to carry an incredible amount of cash on you
• Marie (10/5): - Très bien situé et la cuisine était super bien équipée ! Santiago est super gentil, serviable et sympa.
• Leclercq (9/5): - Très agréable hostel et le propriétaire est très gentil
• Camille (10/5): Excellent - Parfait, Angelica et Santiago sont là pour nous, l’emplacement est parfait entre le centre et la plage, je recommande fortement, cuisine équipée, excursion disponible, Bonne vibes dans un cadre chill
• Karen (8/5): Simple, basic place to stay in El Valle with kind and helpful hosts - We stayed at Casa Hostal Amar-illa for two nights and it was simple but met our basic needs during our time in El Valle to see the humpback whales. We had a private room which mainly consisted of a mosquito net and contained a fan. There was a shared kitchen with plastic bins where you could put your food to prevent ants. We also enjoyed the rooftop which had hammocks and yoga mats. Angelica, one of the hosts, was also super helpful in organizing tours and ferry rides. Unfortunately there was a large group of other travelers who were quite loud and made noise until 4AM. Perhaps a curfew can be imposed at the property.
• Cristina (10/5): Excelentes anfitriones - Lo mejor de este sitio ha sido la atención de Angélica y Santiago, quienes nos recomendaron y nos ayudaron en todo lo que necesitamos. Buscaron la forma de gestionarnos las salidas que nos interesaron, lugares donde comer, salir, etc., siempre con mucho acierto, y estuvieron disponibles para cualquier cosa todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí (e incluso antes de llegar! ). El alojamiento se encuentra ubicado en una zona muy tranquila y cerca de la playa y del pueblo, y la terraza superior es un perfecto lugar de descanso donde disfrutar del sonido de la lluvia o el canto de los pájaros desde la hamaca. La habitación es demasiado pequeña
• Rhys (10/5): - Location, cleanliness , facilities
• Guest (10/5): natural connection - The hostel’s location makes it truly special: it’s just steps from both the sea and the town, which is incredibly convenient. It’s a cozy, clean, and comfortable place—perfect for relaxing and enjoying Bahía Solano. The staff are very friendly and always ready to help, and they offer excellent advice on the various tours and activities available in the area. Without a doubt, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking to connect with nature and have an authentic experience on Colombia’s Pacific coast. It is a quiet place that offers you a natural experience
• Naomitaylor0902 (10/5): Charming house next to the beach - We loved this place!! Only a 30 second walk from a beautiful beach (el Almejal) , you can see the sea from the terrace, you can hear the waves when you sleep. The kitchen is really well equipped, we cooked lots of fish that we bought from the fishermen in the village !! Angelica and Santiago are lovely hosts, very attentive and caring. The house is sooo charming, you feel right at home. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone who comes to the Pacific and we would love to come back :) Best option in the area, very central for any activities or to get to any other tourist spots in this area.
• Jozefina (10/5): Perfect spot to relax - We enjoyed our stay in Amar-illa a lot! It’s super close to the beach and to the village. There is a nice garden around which makes it a quiet and pleasant place to relax. The kitchen is well equipped and nice to cook in. We also got a lot of help in organising trips to the jungle and to snorkel beaches. If you’re visiting El Valle it’s just a perfect place to stay.
• Marjory (7/5): Decent for a couple of nights - The couple running it were very helpful giving recommendations and guidance. They always advise the cheapest and best option around according to your needs. The mattress was incredibly uncomfortable. The guy offered to change it for a different one but it was smaller so I declined.
• Mousa (5/5): Can't recommend it - The Owner/Staff is helpful and gave advice about Trecks in the area and about transport Cockroaches in the kitchen, never felt clean while staying here. The mattress is some kind of plastic thing, not really comfortable. There are no lockers (could only give your valuables to the owner for safekeeping)
• Florian (4/5): Disappointing - The Hostel is nice to meet new people and the building is clean. The staff don't really care about their guests. Be it cancelling tours without letting people know, not ordering taxis and telling them it'll be impossible to find one (despite it not being the case). The only time they were nice was when asking for the money and checkout. The number of fans in rooms is also ridiculously low, making sleeping pretty hard.
• Guillaume (10/5): Nice and chill stay at El Valle, Bahia Solano - I spent an amazing time at Casa Amarilla hostel. Really nice staff. They gave me all information about daily trips and boat excursions. Hostel with friendly and community vibes. Rooms are clean. Really good location. You have try the pizzería next by, they made best pizzas in town.
• Charlotte (10/5): Felt like home. Highly recommended. - I loved that it’s a traditional house made of wood, it is a very humid area so buildings made of cement tend to hold lots of dampness and mould, this place felt very healthy. It was very close to the beach and other hostels that have a nice night life, but also close enough to town that you can walk in easily. The rooftop is great for yoga and hanging out and the hostel is literally a 3 min walk to the beach. The owners are really caring and helpful with everything, they give you all the information you need and help book activities for you. I really enjoyed my stay with them and highly recommend this place. Everything was great and the hostal owners are lovely.
