Guest Reviews

• Myrdhïn (9/5): Super chambre perdue dans la jungle et à 2 pas de l’entrée du parc - Le propriétaire nous a merveilleusement accueilli. Il est disponible si besoin et donne des recommandations. Son petit déjeuner est très bon. Il nous a en plus gentiment gardé les sacs le temps de notre randonnée dans le parc de Tayrona. Pendant notre séjour, la piscine n’était temporairement pas disponible.
• Stéphane (10/5): Incroyable séjour aux portes du parc de Tayrona - Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable : le propriétaire, la chambre, la terrasse avec les hamacs, Teka la chienne qui est tellement adorable, la situation avec les oiseaux partout, … bref un établissement dans un cadre idyllique que demander de plus ?!
• Juliette (10/5): - Linh est une charmante personne ! On a adoré échanger avec lui et profiter de la douceur de son hostel
• Stéphane (10/5): -
• Niklas (9/5): - Lin ist ein super Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft ist gut gelegen - 5 Gehminuten von der Hauptstraße und mitten im Grünen. Auch der Nationalpark ist in der Nähe, daher ist es ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für eine Wanderung. Das Zimmer ist groß und sauber. Die Terrassen sind perfekt um etwas zu entspannen. Das Frühstück war auch sehr gut. Der Pool war dreckig, aber es war eh nicht warm genug zum Baden. Wir wurden früh morgens immer von einem Vogel gewickelt, aber das gehört zur Natur dazu:)
• Sabine (10/5): - Der Weg zu dieser Unterkunft wirkt ein wenig abenteuerlich und wenig vertrauensetweckend. Aber hat man sie erreicht, entpuppt sie sich als Perle. Unser Zimmer war sehr komfortabel mit direktem Zugang auf eine Terrasse mit zwei Hängematten. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank
• Gerard (10/5): - Super hotel, très bon rapport qualité-prix. Terrasse entourée de nature avec des Aras et des écureuils dans le jardin. Emplacement idéal pour se rendre ensuite au parc tayrona et à la superbe playa Brava L'hôte est vraiment très gentil, merci pour ce court séjour.

• Ilse (10/5): -
• Spencer (10/5): Relaxing oasis in the jungle - This was my favorite place to stay in Colombia so far. Just a few minutes walk from the Calabazo entrance to Tayrona, and it’s really in the nature. Laying in a hammock with a view of the mountains was a great way to unwind after two days hiking in the park. The room was clean and comfortable. Linh is a great host. I would have happily stayed longer.
• Laura (10/5): - Šeimininko rūpestingumas, švaru, patogi ir maloni lauko erdvė, šalia įėjimo į Tayronos parko, netoli daug restoranų ir parduotuvių. Geri, bet mažoki pusryčiai. Kietos pagalvės
• Maxime (10/5): - Nous avons tout aimé dans cette maison L’hôte est d’une gentillesse incroyable et le lieu est magnifique, le matin vers 6h nous pouvons entendre le bruit de plein d’espèces d’oiseaux et en voir quelques-uns. L’endroit était très propre et chaleureux nous avons adoré notre nuit là bas
• Ruben (8/5): - Ons verblijf bij Las Tekas was goed. De eigenaar is erg aardig en gastvrij. We konden onze bagage achterlaten tijdens onze hike door Tyrona.
• Jonas Rimantas (10/5): A cosy stay surrounded by nature and hospitality — the kind of place you’ll want to return to - If I get the chance again, I’m already dreaming of staying at Las Tekas many more times. It’s such a lovely and comfortable place. The frescoes and floor tiles are beautiful, and the rooms are cozy, brand-new, and well kept (we stayed in a separate, super-spacious apartment with a fridge, stove, two sinks, and a large bathroom). We saw so many different birds, and some even flew over and tapped on our windows. And just a 6-minute walk away, we were spotting toucans every single day. In the distance you could hear howler monkeys roaring (we even hiked to see them), and one morning cotton-top tamarins settled in the tall trees right by our apartment door (by the way, they’re endemic and one of the world’s most endangered primates). If you enjoy hiking through hills and little forest paths, there’s about a 2 km trail leading all the way to the Rio Piedras river, where you’ll find not only truly nice scenery but also a beautiful forest restaurant at the meeting point of two rivers. We realized that Las Tekas is in an incredibly strategic location, right next to the village of Colinas de Calabazo, where passing buses stop — honestly, it might be the most convenient spot along the whole route from Santa Marta to Palomino, with lots of small shops and a beautiful large restaurant nearby. The hotel owner, Linh, is an exceptional person — very friendly, always ready to help, and constantly smiling. He’s very modest yet incredibly talented, a true intellectual and very musical, and he speaks fluently Spanish, English, and Italian (his native language) — maybe even more. And his lovely dog Teka is pure elegance. Nothing really to criticise — but in the future, it might be helpful to have an illustrated poster or small guide to the wildlife that can be spotted around the hotel.
• Jessica (10/5): -
• Eline (9/5): - We had a lovely stay at Las Tekas. The atmosphere is very relaxed thanks to the owner Linh. We had some nice conversations with him, and he had nice tips for places to visit. The roof terrace was an amazing place to chill and see all kinds of birds. The location is perfect for Tayrona NP. The Calabazo entrance is across the street, which is the start of some beautiful jungle trails. We definitely advise this place.
• Gorka (8/5): -
• Rudolf (10/5): - Las Tekas is een absolute aanrader! De eigenaar heeft dit pareltje nog maar kort geopend (sinds december), maar je voelt meteen de passie en liefde waarmee het is opgezet. De eigenaar, een vriendelijke Italiaanse man die al sinds 2009 in Colombia woont, heeft hier echt iets prachtigs neergezet. Het zwembad is heerlijk om in af te koelen en biedt een fantastisch uitzicht. Daarnaast ligt het hotel op slechts vijf minuten lopen van de ingang van Tayrona National Park – de perfecte uitvalsbasis dus. Wat het verblijf extra bijzonder maakt, is de persoonlijke benadering. De eigenaar kent de omgeving én de lokale restaurantjes erg goed en geeft je met plezier de beste tips. Hij spreekt zowel Engels als Spaans uitstekend, en neemt echt de tijd om alles goed uit te leggen. Je voelt dat hij trots is op Las Tecas, en terecht. Het is hem gewoon gegund, maar met name ook gewoon de bezoekers, dat dit een mooie toekomst krijgtl! Je kunt trouwens je spullen achterlaten als je tayrona in gaat! Niets echt tegen want gewoon ramen open geslapen, maar wellicht is een klamboe / muskietennet nog een mooie aanvulling.
• Hadrien (7/5): Idéal si on souhaite accéder/sortir du PNN côté Calabazo - L‘atout principal est sa localisation à quelques minutes à pied de l‘une des entrées secondaires et moins fréquentées du PNN Tayrona. L’établissement dispose aussi d‘une belle et grande terrasse avec petite piscine. Le gérant est accueillant et disponible Appartement en contrebas relativement spacieux avec un grand espace cuisine. L‘Appartement mériterait un peu plus de soin dans l’entretien. Hormis la proximité avec le parc, l’emplacement ne présente pas de réel intérêt
• Paula (10/5): -
• Gabrielle (10/5): -
• Elvira (8/5): Wir waren im Tayrona Nationalpark das war unser Ziel gewesen. - Das Zimmer, der grosse Aussen Balkon, .Nichts auszusetzen
• MARIA (10/5): BBB - Las Tekas está muy bien para alojarse en Calabazo y comenzar la caminata circular del PN Tayrona desde allí. Está muy cerca de la carretera y de la entrada al parque, pero lo suficientemente lejos para que no haya ruido de tráfico. La zona es tranquila y segura. Cercana a tiendas y restaurantes. El alojamiento es amplio, limpio, cómodo y práctico. Pero lo mejor del alojamiento es su dueño, Linh, una persona encantadora siempre dispuesto a ayudarte. Lo recomendamos! No tener tiempo para haber podido disfrutar de la piscina!
• Chiara (10/5): Un’angolo di relax a due passi dal parco di Tayrona - Struttura nuova e molto curata, immersa nella natura e a due passi dall’ingresso del Parco di Tayrona. Lin, il proprietario, è simpaticissimo ed è stato molto disponibile nel tenerci gli zaini durante la nostra permanenza nel parco. La piscina è un grande plus, ottima per contrastare il grande caldo. Nulla

• Olaia (10/5): -
• brayan orostegui (9/5): Estuve junto a mis papás y hermana celebrando el cumpleaños de mi padre. La pasamos muy bien teniendo en cuenta la amabi - La amabilidad del anfitrión es destacable , el sitio cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasar una excelente estadía y las zonas al aire libre son amplias
• Franck (9/5): - L'accueil est chaleureux et le patron attentionné. Un soucis a rendu la piscine inutilisable mais le patron nous a proposé en contrepartie un logement plus grand. Le petit déjeuner est excellent. Dommage pour la piscine mais ça peut arriver.
• Kristell (9/5): Havre de paie dans la nature. Hôte parfait - Très bel hébergement au cœur de la nature et à 200m du village. Un havre de paix au milieu des oiseaux ou des écureuils, face à la montagne. Une petite piscine rafraîchissante agréable lorsqu’il fait chaud. Notre hôte a été aux petits soins tout au long de notre séjour pour nous guider dans les centres d’intérêts et les transports pour s’y rendre où nous rendre service. Petit déjeuner complet ( yaourt, céréales, jus, boisson, pain et œufs). Nous avons fait une belle sortie avec un guide en montagne.
• Johanna (8/5): Good value for money - Owner greeted us warmly. Very helpful and said we could leave our bags there if needed while trekking. Convenient to the start of the Tayrona NP from the Kalahazo entrance. Room was lovely with balcony off it with hammock. Definitely only take this room. Pool/ jacuzzi was cool and refreshing. Fan in the room was OK but nowhere near as good as AC. It was hot and this was in May. Bathroom lovely though if you were large in size you may have trouble getting into the shower? Walked to the shops a few hundred metres back to the road for dinner. Breakfast was lovely. Owner constantly smoked and it wafted up to where we were. He also smoked in the kitchen preparing food. Asked for juice with breakfast but he said he’d run out and that he could go to the shops? Do you think you would be prepared for guests especially having booked over 3 weeks prior?
• Lucille (10/5): Exceptional -
• Schlevogt (10/5): Best stay in Colombia - Best place during our one month Colombia traveling. Super nice team! Nice dog! Clean. Beautiful views. Quite. Hammock. Pool. Breakfast. Close to park entrance. We stayed 3 nights and wished we stayed longer.
• Joe (10/5): Exceptional - A relaxing oasis, away from the busy main road through Calabazo. But only a short walk to buses and the entrance to the National Park. Nothing
• Mariusz (10/5): The best place in Colinas de Calabazo - If you're not going to stay in Tayrona National Park Colinas de Calabazo is one of the best options. The hosue is just 400 m away from the entrance to the park. Buses between Santa Marta and Palomino stops here. There are some shops (only basic products and slightly higher prices) and restaurants. The owener speaks Spanish and English, and he's a very friendly and helpful person. The house itself is located 200 m from the main road so it's calm and quite (the only noises are dogs barking at night and birds chirping in the morning). There are two or three guests rooms and the owner lives here as well. There's a small swimming pool (to cool down, not to swim) and rooftop terrace with tables and hammock - good place to rest after hiking. We got the only room on the 1st floor which was quite large and comfortable, the same with bathroom. Everytwhere was really clean. There's no kitchen available, but a breakfast is served every morning. Also, we asked for an electric kettle and we got one with two cups.
• Breandan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Breandan (10/5): Exceptional - The host Linh, is an exception host. We arrived late in the evening due to some transport issues and he was super accommodating. Breakfast was amazing and the location ideal for us to start of 3 day Tayrona National Park Trek (Location is very close to the Calabazo Entrance to the park). He also stored some of our luggage while we done our hike and we collected them a few days later with no issues at all. I could not recommend this place enough. 10/10 for us.
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional - A great place to stay ,surrounded by amazing vegetation and with a beautiful terrace with a hammock .Lots of space,inside and outside,spotlessly clean,good breakfasts,great location ..Lyn is a really attentive host and a great artist ,his mosaic walls are really beautiful.The lovingly,attentive dog completes the picture! Wasn't too keen on the volume of noise from neighbouring Calabazo at the weekend.However,inside the room it was fine
• Karen (8/5): Very good -
• Emilie (10/5): Great hosts, lovely place, good value for money, and very close to the Calabazo entrance road. - Las Tekas is a a great little newly opened place - a short walk from the main road, down a side road, and very close to the Calabazo entrance to Tayrona. The hosts were especially lovely - very welcoming and happy to give valuable advice about the park and local area. Teka (the hotel dog) was also very cute and friendly, which was a bonus. They've only been open for a month so everything is brand new, and they've built a fantastic viewing deck on the top of the property for (unofficial) bird watching and views across the jungle. It was fantastic value for money and very well located - would definitely recommend.
• Annika (10/5): Exceptional - Linh is a great host. He just started hosting people and don't expect it to be a 5 star hotel, but if you are looking for a refugium with a lovely person who shares it's place, you are right. There are all kind of birds around and the entrance to Tayrona is just across the street. In the weekend the music is quite loud in the neighborhood but that is the Colombian way, so bring earplugs or celebrate with them. 🥰
• Lucia (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel is very close to centre, clean, comfortable. The owner is very kind mam, helped me to arrange trip to Tayrona park. I definitely reccommend the stay The gate needs a name of hostel
