Guest Reviews

• Morales (10/5): - Muy cerca a la entrada del parque Tayrona, amé el balcón con la vista al río, ideal para descansar y desconectarse, el sonido del río es relajante… Claudia fue muy buena anfitriona. Lo recomiendo!
• veronica (10/5): - El hostel es muy lindo y con bajada al río.impagable!
• Julieta (10/5): -
• David (8/5): -
• Tomas (1/5): Feel like being scammed - Our stay at this hostel wasn’t the worst I’ve had, but being accused and almost blackmailed as a foreign guest for allegedly stealing a wallet and personal documents is completely unacceptable of the hostel owner.The situation felt suspicious and made me very uncomfortable — it came across almost like a scam. Luckily, the matter has been handed over to the police. I would not return to this hostel. Be aware. The place is close to Tyrona park entrance , they have river behind the house which was refreshing.
• Kari (8/5): Very good - Space was clean, owner was very kind. Water was turned off in the evening without warning. It returned in the morning.
• Antonio (10/5): Nice staff - Great
• Michael (9/5): It was a nice stay - Aljeandro was great.
• Jan (10/5): Greatest place and hosts! - Great couple who are very warm and calm people. Nothing was a problem and we felt like home there. Beoutiful view on the river. And food they are cooking is realy great. Love it there. Thanks so much for your hospitality <3
• Andrea (10/5): Beautiful nature, homely - The whole place felt like home. The host was very friendly and gave me a lot of advice for places to visit. I would definitely come back.
• Jaden (9/5): Superb - The owners were great! Easy to have conversations with and had lots of good tips for buses hikes etc. Being next to the river was amazing too, a few steps away from a swim. Really good affordable food too The bunk bed was a bit creaky, so I think I woke my bunkmate up once or twice by accident when I turned over in my sleep
• Chiara (10/5): Exceptional - A lovely peaceful escape in nature with very warm and kind hosts! The food they cook is exceptional and good value. The building is rustic and looks like a treehouse. You have a view to the nearby river that you can swim in and the forest and hills behind. They even have a jaccuzzi and very friendly pets. The guests I met were calm and had some nice chats together. I was able to leave my luggage as I stayed overnight in Tayrona Park for a small cost. Would definitely stay again and can recommend! Nothing
• Zahra (8/5): Very good - The owner was very nice and helpful, being so close to the river was lovely. It was dreamy to dear the sound of the river while falling sleep. The bathroom was a bit of a walk through the yard with uncovered ceiling, so it wasn’t very comfortable when it rained. The owner made every effort to change this but the wifi had stopped working the entire time we were there. I’m sure this is fixed now, but worth double checking if you need to do travel planning, it wasn’t a big deal for us as we went to a restaurant nearby that had wifi to book the rest of us trip.
• Oscar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional - Small hostel with really lovely balcony upstairs, it’s close to the river for swimming, close to a wonderful and cheap restaurant and walkable from the park entrance. The owner has two friendly cats too!
• Cristian (6/5): Pleasant -
• Anton (10/5): Relaxing place with super helpfull and friendly host - It's a super relaxing beautiful place with a stunning view and super friendly host Nothing
• Dario (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dario (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matthewson (9/5): Superb - Thank you! Place was extremely fair priced and located right by the river. Great host and if you want can share in a home cooked wonderful meal !! No Todo bien
• Timothy (10/5): great place to visit Tayrona NP for a day - stayed here for two nights, in order to visit Tayrona National Park for a full day. if you come here by public bus i recommend to get off at "Plaza Tayrona" and walk 10min to the hostel. it is a quiet, peaceful little hostel next to the river (swimming is possible). good wifi, good mosquito net, hammock, common areas, cold water shower. a tienda is nearby. more food options are walking distance along the mainstreet. we did a big hike in Tayrona NP (about 17km / 10.5miles): left the hostel around 8AM, went by short bus-ride to Calabazo entrance (Bus around 3K / community fee 5K / entrance fee depends on your nationality). walked all the way to Cabo beach, then exit in the afternoon at Cañaveral gate (shuttle to Zaino 5K) and walked back to the hostel. saw different types of monkeys along the way (including red howler). no towels included. kitchen isn't for guests to use.
• Edwin (10/5): Exceptional - The location, the view to the river and the hosts are very kind. Bathrooms could be closer to the bedrooms
• Chloé (7/5): Great location nearby a beautiful river -
• Fabrizio (10/5): Exceptional - amazing place
• Elizabeth (1/5): Avoid Sierra Tyrone Hotel - The view from the room. The motorcycle ride to get there. The river below. The cats and dogs. No Electricity. No notice about this. No kitchen, no food, no internet Jacuzzi broken. No towel in room. No functional locks on the doors. No truth in advertising. Very poor quality mattress. Dim lighting. Dirty ashtrays. Incredibly dangerous stairs leading to the room upstairs The use of styrofoam. No apparent care for customer satisfaction from the owner. Owner just wants money. He has. Very dark energy and a suspicious nature. 2 new guests arrived in the middle of the afternoon completely hot, sweaty and exhausted. Owner showed no compassion to take off their backpacks, sit down, and have some water Before paying. He was abrupt and suspicious about collecting money with me as well, and would not refund a dime when I had to leave 2 days early because of the stairs and no electricity, and no internet. The stairs were very steep and had no handrail, so I fell while using the downstairs toilet in the middle of the night. I felt taken advantage of. The owner was unwilling to give me any money back. I left very disappointed.
• Menno (10/5): Very relaxing stay and good service from alejandro - It was nice and calm and closeby to the tayrona park
• Russell (8/5): Recommended. - Alejandro is a great host. I booked a single room - big bed mosquito net, sockets, a fan and reasonable wi-fi. The breakfast and evening meal were good and not expensive. Towels provided. Not far from both entrances to Tayrona National Park. There's some building work in progress so some disruption.
• Pamela (10/5): Nice hostel in the Tayrona selva - 15 mins to the El Zaino entrance Very good food served for breakfast and dinner Nice location in the middle of the forest just in front of a river Toilette could have been a bit cleaner
• Flashpackerin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sp (10/5): Really great and comfortable location - The location was amazing. Next to the river & wildlife. The hut slept really good. Great mosquito protection. Great bed. Its almost you sleep outside but you got enough privacy. Simba the cat and Gardian the dog were really cute and the owner can cook very well. The keyword is tranquillo. Don’t expect much, expect nature and a really great night rest. Even if you love luxurious places you can love this place (ill do). We extended our stay for another day only to relax in the hostel and swim in the river. We used the jacuzzi. In the night you hear crickets and frogs singing and the sound of the river and sometimes you hear monkeys. It’s awesome. If you gonna eat. Don’t go to tiki hut as the pizza’s made us sick. 😀nothing
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kirsty (9/5): Very relaxing - Lovely peaceful rooms with shady tables outside and access to river. Home cooked vegetarian dinner and breakfast available. Accurately located on Google maps. Error in location on Booking.com.
• Fahnert (9/5): Superb - Cute Hostel near the Tayrona Park, perfect to stay there the night before. Beds are comfy, food is delicious and it’s only 3mins by Motortaxi to the park :) also directly on the river
• Grace (8/5): Would recommend if you want to be close to Tayrona to visit the park - Great location and value for money to be close to Tayrona - we left our bags here and then stayed in the park for one night. The host was super helpful despite our lack of Spanish and cooked vegan dinner for us both nights! There’s a small communal space but I wouldn’t book it for somewhere to hang out, more for a base for Tayrona.
• Rachel (8/5): Very good - cute and affordable, convenient to tayrona. he will hold onto your backpack for $10k/night though Alejandro was nice, he never had change for me - not the day I checked in so I said no problem I’ll grab it tomorrow, not the day I checked out, so I said no worries you can give me change when I get my backpack. however, he still didn’t have it, so I left him the difference. it was still quite good value but on principle this did not feel good. also, he did not give me good information about tayrona, saying a reservation was not necessary when in fact they wouldn’t let you in for 2 nights without one.
• Vedran (7/5): Good - Staff member, nice gentleman. Also the sound of nature is good The room we got didn't have the wall connected to the ceiling. This means that the people from room next to you can hear you, and you can hear them.
• Alexandra (8/5): Very good -
• Ubinger (9/5): Alejandro is very welcoming and accommodating and friendly. Knowledgeable about the area and able to give recommendation - Relaxing, tranquil, quiet, private. Easy access to the river for swimming.
• Hannes (10/5): Exceptional - It was a wonderful stay at Alejandros "castle"! I strongly recommend it especiallly for people, who want to calm down, relax and enjoy the nature. Alejandro is an amazing person with a big heart. That makes the difference to the other touristic places around, which are mainly owned by foreigners now. You get served with delicious food and sleep in very good beds. So "think global - act local"...and enjoy :) -
• Timo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rob (8/5): Very good -
• Alexandra (8/5): Very good - You can buy a delicious and reasonably priced dinner at the hostel! Also awesome to be able to take a dip in the river right off the back of the hostel. Our host was also very helpful and friendly! Bathroom is far from the bedrooms.
• Mario (7/5): Good - - it is located next to the river which is amazing - the host is very friendly and helpful - our room was not clean - the facility is okayish…but, it is probably the most that you can get in a National Parque - you cannot pay for the room by card…only cash is accepted. The issue is that it is not mentioned when booking, and the only way to get cash in the national Parque is to pay a fee of 10%. I told the owner he should add it to booking.com
• Mrmoose (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely host and nice river where you can swim and hang out. 20min walk to the main entrance of tyrona park.
• Sahm (10/5): Exceptional - Calm and refreshing place to chill near the jungle, early in the morning you can even see some monkeys ! The hosts are so nice, and will help you with everything. The bed was comfy, the sound of the rivier and the nature to fall a sleep. The food from the host is really good, and cheap. The rivier down the hostel is really good for swimming or chilling on the rock. There are some waterfall to visit and Tayrona entrance (El Zaino) is really close Nothing, everything was great.
• Martina (10/5): Perfect place to relax - The kindness of Alejandro and Claudia. The terrace with the amaca, the very relaxing atmosphere, the quiet and the "music" of the river.
• Joris (10/5): Amazing - It was very peaceful, enjoy waking up in the nature with the river nearby. Alejandro was a very good host. Communication was with Google translate since I couldn't speak Spanish but again he really took the time for you. Definitely worth the stay. I upgraded to the 2nd personsroom on top instead of the 1 personsbed. I prefer the view and the extra space I had there and then you could make use of the jacuzzi.
• Átogob (10/5): Exceptional - a really lovely place right next to the river and very close to the tayrona national park. clean and comfy rooms, WiFi, hammocks, a beautiful garden. alejandro takes care of his guests at any time. we can also recommend the delicious breakfast and dinner.
• Abbie (10/5): Romantic oasis in the jungle - What an incredible set up, a beautiful room over looking the river and the jungle, a terrace to sit and relax on, even a jacuzzi! You can also walk down to the river and take a dip if you fancy. It was beautifully clean and felt like a little romantic oasis in the jungle. So so close to the park - a moto taxi there will take you about two minutes. Two lovely doggies and amazing hosts - they even walked us to our bus stop to help us catch the right bus!
• Dawid (10/5): Wonderful place by the river close to Tayrona National Park with great hosts and atmosphere! - We spent wonderful time in Sierra Tayrona Hostel: - perfect location - very quiet and close to the river with access to swim. 15 min by walk to Tayrona National Park Entrance. - wonderful hosts - Claudia and Alejo welcomed us with a big smile and hand full of good advice about local attractions. They were always willing to help and making sure we have a nice stay. They have also 3 nice dogs and a cat and some visitors like monkeys, iguanas and birds :) - Nice and clean room - comfy bed with moscito net and a fan - Great facilities - private bathroom outside the room and jacuzzi bath with sauna. Taking a bubble bath under the stars and with river sound was amazing. Highly recommended! Nothing, all perfect!
• Stephen (10/5): Truly awesome experience that I will never forget! - Claudia was a great host who took care of all our needs and provided great conversation when we engaged her. The facilities were exactly what we expected, rugged but tidy. We had a great time and will definitely visit again. The food was fantastic. Nothing really. It was a great trip all around and the was a fantastic homebase for us.
