Guest Reviews
- Femers (10/5): -
- John Mauricio (10/5): Un lugar muy agradable conectado con la naturaleza - Es mi segunda vez que voy y es un lugar muy bonito y relajante, apenas para trabajar a distancia y desconectar de la ciudad, Juan es un excelente anfitrión, muchas gracias 🙏🏻
- Sofia Martínez (10/5): Del Rodadero a la selva: en bio se descansa de verdad, volvería sin dudarlo. - "Vine buscando descanso real y lo encontré" Llegué después de haberme quedado unos días en el Rodadero y la diferencia fue brutal. Allá era imposible dormir bien por el ruido de la calle y la música. Acá en Bio desde que entré sentí otra energía — selva, silencio, aire fresco, pajaritos alrededor cuando trabajo. Lo que más me sorprendió fue el WiFi. Estaba trabajando remoto esos días y en Bio nunca se me cayó la conexión, algo que no pasa ni en hoteles del centro de Santa Marta. Además, la energía es solar, así que tampoco hay cortes de luz a medianoche como me había pasado antes. Juan el anfitrión conoce el Tayrona como nadie. Me organizó una visita a Playa Cristal sin las colas enormes que hay cuando uno va solo. Y el desayuno incluido con frutas tropicales frescas es un detalle que se agradece mucho. La habitación sencilla pero limpia y con todo lo necesario.Las áreas externas pueden estar más susceptibles a necesitar limpieza diaria al estar abiertas. No es un hotel de lujo y no pretende serlo — es un lugar donde uno descansa de verdad, conecta con la naturaleza y sale renovado. Tiene piscina, jardines, y hay un proyecto con la comunidades que me pareció muy valioso. Para los que trabajan remoto o buscan unos días tranquilos cerca del Tayrona sin el caos del Rodadero, este es el lugar. Volvería sin dudarlo.
- Sofia Martínez (10/5): Hicimos nuestro retiro aquí y no volvemos a un salón de hotel - Llegamos 9 personas del colectivo Nature Nomads, una mezcla de profesionales, educadores y trabajadores remotos que buscábamos un espacio para un retiro de tres días con actividades al aire libre, sesiones de trabajo en grupo y desconexión real. Habíamos cotizado hoteles en Santa Marta y salones en el Rodadero, pero ninguno tenía lo que necesitábamos: naturaleza auténtica con conectividad confiable al mismo tiempo. Bio lo tiene todo junto y eso es rarísimo en esta zona. El WiFi de fibra óptica aguantó sin problema las videoconferencias simultáneas del primer día, algo que en otros lugares de la región es impensable. La energía solar tampoco falló en ningún momento, que cuando eres un grupo y todo el mundo tiene equipos conectados, eso importa mucho. Para las actividades outdoor, Juan nos diseñó una jornada privada al Tayrona que se convirtió en la mejor sesión de team building que hemos tenido y sin pagar a ninguna agencia. Como biólogo marino explicó el ecosistema de una forma que ninguno olvidó. Fue formativo, no turístico. Esa diferencia se siente. La visita al Tayrona se puede quedar uno sin señal, Las gallinas y animales pueden hacer algo de sonidos, pero amenizan el ambiente. Las huertas y los sistemas acuapónicos con la comunidad Kogui, campesina o nómada fue el momento más poderoso del retiro. El grupo entero quedó en silencio escuchando cómo funciona el sistema sostenible. Para nosotros que trabajamos temas de educación ambiental y propósito colectivo, eso valió más que cualquier conferencia. Las cabañas para el grupo son cómodas, limpias, cada una con su baño. Los desayunos incluidos con productos frescos del lugar ayudaron a arrancar cada mañana con buena energía. Las fogatas o la piscina natural al final del día fue el cierre perfecto para cada jornada. Para colectivos, equipos corporativos, grupos académicos o cualquier organización que quiera hacer algo significativo cerca del Caribe colombiano: Bio tiene capacidad para hasta 30 personas en espacio privado. No es un hotel de eventos, es mejor que eso. Es un lugar con alma, con proyecto real y con la infraestructura técnica que los grupos de trabajo necesitan. Ya estamos agendando la próxima salida.
- Carlos (1/5): - NADA. QUE ESTAFA Es un engaño lo que publican. Está amangualado con Alexander de Bonda que también público a través de ustedes un EcoHostal en Bonda. Deben ser censurados!!!

- Martin (10/5): J'adore!! - On a été super bien accueilli par Juan et son équipe. Ils sont de super bon conseil pour les activités autour et le Tayrona, on a pu louer des vélos et profiter de la petite ville de Bonda à 15min à pieds où il y a une rivière très agréable pour se baigner et des petites cascades🙌 et quel plaisir après une bonne journée de se retrouver autour d'un feu de camp (d'une fogata) avec tout le monde:) Merci pour l'expérience!
- Guieci (6/5): -
- carolina (8/5): - Es un espacio para desconectar y pasar unos días tranquilos. Juan es súper atento Hay algunas cosas para mejorar, pero al ser un lugar eco hay que estar atentos a que algunos cosas pueden fallar por momentos.
- Elizabeth (1/5): - Nada, gente sinvergüenza Todo ese lugar de mierda
- Roman (10/5): - Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Besitzer. Schöne, saubere Zimmer und eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Meine Freundin und ich hatten eine tolle Zeit hier, vielen Dank🙏
- Paula (9/5): - El tracte és molt personal, ens va aconsellar en tot moment i molt atent Hi havia poca llum a l'habitació
- Diana Milena (10/5): - Muy atentos, muy tranquilo el sitio. Fue muy agradable descansar allí.
- Fabian (10/5): -
- Sofia Martínez (10/5): 10/10 en WIFI, electricidad y sin mosquitos. Solicita el análisis de estrés biocuántico; es una nota - 10/10 en internet y Electricidad Lo mejor es que no hay mosquitos o no se sienten, sus peces controlan muy bien las larvas de mosquitos. Se siente Tranquilidad y silencioso comparado con el Rodadero o la Santa Marta Urbana, Bogotá o Medellín El aire es puro, sin ruidos y la naturaleza está presente en los árboles, los lagos, los macetas
- Morales (10/5): - Las personas son excelentes, fuimos como una gran familia. Todos conocidos y desconocidos nos preocupamos por todos y don Juan y don Osvaldo seres humanos maravillosos
- Hadyd (7/5): -
- Hisham (10/5): A very likable eco-place close to the Tyrone area. - An impressive eco-facility in the Tyrone area; very peaceful and quiet (a great place to chill and a good connection to tours and activities in the Tyrone area. Very good wifi ( important in the Tyrone where limited or no connectivity is common). Very helpful and friendly staff. close cli not sure
- MARIA ISABEL (9/5): Tranquilidad - La ubicación
- Alejandro (9/5): Wild - Very green, a lot of space, it’s conveniently located at one of the entrances of Tayrona, slept well, it was possible to work, the room was big and always fresh, the view from the top floor is really nice, they have some bio projects going on, staff was attentive and the owner behaved like a true friend, met cool people. Nothing wrong, a bit secluded though, some improvements could be done. FYI when you stay on ecological project on a rural location you obviously can’t expect the same standards as a resort and enjoying nature is far more important, if you can deal with this fact it’s a good place to stay for the price.
- Aquino (9/5): COLIBRIN - Si Busca la naturaleza ,algo campetre ,sentirte en familia ,y liberar el estres ,se es el sitio indicado y sobre todo el respeto y la amabilidad
- Carolina (10/5): -
- Agata (10/5): - I love this place. I booked my stay at Bio Coliving for 3 nights and I stayed there for one month. It's a beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by a very friendly environment. It's located near the entrance to Tayrona Park where you can find very beautiful beaches and it's not that crowded as in other parts. I highly recommend this place to everyone and send big hugs to the wonderful people that I met there, who were always kind and friendly and willing to help.
- Jiménez (10/5): Súper recomendado, Juan es muy atento y cordial, Maya es súper especial. Una experiencia muy chévere y diferente - Excelentes instalaciones, muy tranquilo todo
- Andrés (10/5): Excelente Coworking en la naturaleza - Juan es un excelente anfitrión, igual su equipo de staff me hicieron sentir como si estuviera donde mi familia.\ El lugar es cómodo, rodeado de naturaleza, apartado de la ciudad. Viaje por dos semanas y trabaje sin problema desde allí, internet rápido y tienen espacios de coworking donde se puede trabajar en paz. Tuve servicio de lavado de ropa, transporte, tours en mi estadía. Que no me pude quedar más tiempo.

- Filizona (10/5): -
- Balali (10/5): - Great people there they helped me out alot thank you so much for everything
- Sofia Martínez (10/5): Tercer aniversario reconectando: tranquilidad que enamora, naturaleza que abraza y un tour secreto - Este es nuestro tercer año volviendo de aniversario, y Bio sigue superándose. El silencio aquí es un lujo ubicado exactamente donde más lo disfrutamos: en la terraza privada al amanecer, en el rincón del coworking con vista al bosque, y en la cama king mirando las estrellas. Cero interrupciones, solo nosotros y la naturaleza. Lo que nos retiene: La habitación Paujil fue más bonita y acogedora que la suite de nuestro propia luna de miel. Espacio, privacidad y una vista que no cansa. El 'Tour Romántico a la Playa Secreta del Amor' que Juan organizó: una cala solo para nosotros, con snorkel y fotos. Magia pura. El equilibrio real: por las mañanas trabajamos eficientemente en el coworking (internet perfecto), y por las tardes desconectamos en hamacas o piscina. No tenemos que elegir entre productividad y romance. Después de probar alojamientos urbanos en Santa Marta, nada se compara con desayunar con colibríes en vez de con ruido de tráfico. Para parejas que buscan reconectar de verdad – lejos de interrupciones y cerca de experiencias auténticas – este es el lugar. Ya reservamos para el cuarto año. Lo que más nos gustó: La atención, la ubicación, la relación calidad-precio, la limpieza Nada grave, solo que el camino de tierra para llegar puede ser un poco rústico si no estás acostumbrado, lo increíble es que en el Tayrona hay mosquitos pero en bio no, o muy pocos y con repelente o el toldillo ni se sienten.
- Karine (1/5): - La intención del lugar de ser un lugar sostenible es buena, pero mediocre. El aseo del lugar es terrible, no puedes justificar que estuvo lleno el fin de semana y decir que no hiciste aseo por un día y luego ver que las sábanas, las cocinas y en general todo el sitio tiene unas condiciones de salubridad pésimas. Intentar cocinar y que no tengan ni siquiera en condiciones los elementos de limpieza, sin disponibilidad de agua... La verdad fue una pésima experiencia.

- Lucas (10/5): Workied without worries: constant electricity and WiFi - An amazing place to combine work and nature. I spent several weeks working remotely without any interruptions thanks to the reliable internet, and later I could relax listening to the sounds of the jungle. Juan was always available to help with anything, and we even had very inspiring conversations. I recommend this space for digital nomads who are looking for more than just a coworking spot: a complete experience, like the Jaguar 4.0 plan that included the tour to Playa Cristal and other beaches That I ended up staying less time than I wanted. This place makes you want to extend your stay, it’s not easy to leave
- Inacio (10/5): - Propriedade próxima a entrada da Playa Cristal, o Juan e sua equipe nos trataram como se fossemos da sua família. Também fizemos um passeio para a Play Cristal por um preço justo. Nada me desagradou.
- Mariana (10/5): - Lugar hermoso, lleno de paz y tranquilidad! Contacto diario con la naturaleza, lleno de rinconcitos especiales para disfrutar! Juan el dueño es muy gentil y disponible para ayudar en lo que sea necesario! Perfecto lugar para nómadas digitales con muy buena internet y buena estructura para trabajar online al lado de la naturaleza.
- Audrey (4/5): Wouldn't recommend, especially not for solo females... - The place is in the nature, private rooms are really cheap, the place itself has several different spaces to chill. When I first arrived I was very enchanted by the place. Juan made me feel at home and everything was perfect... Then, things slowly turned sour. First, the hygiene was bad, I mean so bad that it was a concern for health. No trash in the outside kitchen, Juan refused to provide one. He insisted for guests to use a recycling sorting system behind the house, but trash bins were never emptied so the place was full of accumulated trash on the ground. I spotted a dead frog floating in the swimming pool, maybe it didn't survive the swim. The electricity and water cut sometimes at night. One day, the water wasn't put back at all, so impossible to shower or wash your plates. Most of the time there was dirty dishes in the outside kitchen, it was generally disgusting and since there was no hot water it was never really clean. The fridge was full of stinky juice. (I actually left the place very sick. Like, VERY sick). The microwave was dysfunctional and I suspect, potentially dangerous to use. I asked for kitchen towels to dry hands and been given shirt sleeves instead, which were never washed. Toilet paper was rarely provided in the toilets. I guess that these basic things were too expensive... Drinking water was not included, Juan was selling some, but it was way more expensive than in supermarkets, so I guess, that too, is a business. Dead animals in bocals gave me the creeps. Dogs are barking often, sometimes in the middle of the night, big dog poos in the garden. You're close to the highway and can still hear a bit of traffic noise. You're far from everything. But what made me very uncomfortable is when Juan 'made a move on me' if you know what I am saying... Few days after that, he offered me a tour, he insisted but I refused. Another day, he did it again, he was even more forceful this time, telling me it was a special price that I won't get again. If I understood well, he actually wanted me to pay 30 USD to drive me to the beach... Just him and me, saying the 'company was everything'. That was his 'tour'. I refused again. Then he started to ask for 'favours', for me do to random tasks around the place... But I wasn't a worker there so I thought it was unjustified. I think he was testing me and my willingness to serve. I didn't budge. He took a girl to work for him. He left me alone then. I was isolating myself afterwards and it felt weird, even with the other guests, so I don't know if some things were said about me...? From the comments I read and my own experience, I believe Juan would take advantage of foreigners however he can, since I wasn't the only one questioning his honesty and professionalism. I suspect he's trying to do the less work he can, while finding other people to sweat for him and make money. Dodgee business. I wanted to stay long-term but I had to leave because I felt stressed, outcasted and ended up being really sick. Really a disappointing and degrading experience.
- Fabio Nelson (10/5): - El trato de Juan con los huéspedes es muy bueno Mucho mosquito
- Nataly gc (8/5): La ubicación es buena y tiene tranquilidad - La buena atención y dispuesto a resolver situaciones de la vistante Las instalaciones necesitan mejorar la limpieza
- Stefanie (3/5): Würde ich nicht so empfehlen. Wir hatten schlechte Laune dort bekommen. - Nettes ordentliches sauberes Doppelzimmer. Juan ist ansich sehr nett und bietet viel Hilfe. Die ganze Nacht schien sehr helles Licht in das Doppelzimmer. Und unser Zimmer war direkt zur Straße hin und es war sehr laut. Seine Hilfe kostet nur auch Geld. Er hat uns ein Busticket für den Tayrona Park für 30.000 COD pro Person telefonisch besorgt und wir mussten ihm das Geld dafür geben. Es sah so aus als hätte er dem Busfahrer jeweils 10.000 COD für uns gegeben. Den Rest hat er sich dann selber eingesteckt. Seine Hilfe die er anbietet ist sehr überteuert. Die Klingel hört er nicht so gut. Das WLAN und die Mobilen Daten sind da nicht so gut. Er hatte uns freundlicher Weise an der Bushaltestelle in Bonda abgeholt. Er kam 30 min später und wir haben uns dort etwas unwohl gefühlt und auch dort ging der Handy Empfang kaum. Es gibt Zimmer bei ihm wo man die Bettwäsche extra zahlen muss.
- María Consuelo (10/5): - La naturaleza del lugar
- Wing (7/5): Good - The hostel is surrounded by greenery. And many areas like the upstairs kitchen, dining and terrace areas are 'open', ie without external walls, so you can see the plants and the neighbours' garden. However when it rains heavily as it does these days, everything gets pretty wet. The location has plus points because it is near Tayrona Park. There is Playa Concha you can walk to, about 2 hours on a dirt road. On the negative side, the hostel is by the principal road to go from Santa Marta to Palomino and beyond. So you get the rumbling of traffic, even during the night, only less. There are several large man-made ponds for fish breeding. Overall, it is understandable that a place with goals like bio-living cannot be kept as clean as a typical residential building, but some things are not related to the nature scene, such as bits of remaining soap in the bathroom sink, or the upstairs kitchen and fridge being in such a state, poorly equipped, the tap of the sink there has no running water, the trash not removed, and cleanliness was often questionable. The price is very reasonable but it is not a good exchange for the discomfort staying in a place, which seems to not quite reach basic level of tidiness and sanitation for a guesthouse.
- David (10/5): Juan made it all happen! Thanks!! - An awesome place for ultimate relaxation and adventure!
- Manel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Beverley (9/5): Superb - Close to Santa Marta. Tasty breakfasts. Wonderful host, Juan, who was friendly, knowledgeable about the area and generally a great guy. Basic accommodation but for the price amazing. We had a great time. We would return. Only thing could have been better was our mattress.
- Beltrán (10/5): GENIAL! - La idea en general de autosostenible N/A
- Brian (10/5): great place to stay when visiting Tayrona or looking for some quite time in the jungle - great place to relax and enjoy nature, as well as interesting social & scientific project. Jenny and Juan were great hosts and I hope to return on my way back to the airport. I enjoyed hanging out with the work-trade volunteers Alejandra & Isaac, as well as the 4 dogs (Machas, Poseidon, Krakken, and Perla) who live here. i also love that they have a punching bag and even a cute little one for kids.
- Kelly (9/5): Superb - The eco projects I liked - it is all thought through and it makes sense. Happy to contribute to this mixed community and to get to know more about this region and its inhabitants. Juan is very passionate and told all about the projects. I booked the private room, which is a spacious room that has everything you need. Comfortable bed and - if you want - enough facilities to work remotely. In the beginning I thought the location wasn't practical, but it turns out there are many options for activities (either organised by Juan as a tour guide or going for a walk yourself, the town or Tyrona park). Easily accessible by bus. -
- Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - This is an amazing place full of nature. Everything is eco friendly even the pool. They are independent with electricity because they use solar. That's good because in Santa María they cut the electricity from time to time and I still had fast internet to work with. It's an adventurous place for those who look for a different experience. It's a bit outside of Santa Marta.
