- Cornelia (10/5): - Sie waren sehr zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und freundlich auf eine ganz natürliche Art. Und wer sich ein Andenken tätowieren möchte, ist dort richtig. Es gibt nix
- Mawency (10/5): -
- Faustine (7/5): - Très bon emplacement, propriétaire très gentil il fait très chaud dans les chambres… il y a des ventilateurs mais la chaleur reste très importante!
- Luis Carlos (7/5): - Le meilleur point est l’emplacement. Juan s’est montré chaleureux et accueillant. Les chambres étaient bien Il fait très chaud dans les chambres mais Juan est en train de réfléchir à mettre en place une climatisation pour que vos nuits soient fraîches. La cuisine est très petite mais dans l’ensemble il y a de tout. La douche et la chambre mériterait un coup de balai, beaucoup de saleté sous le lit malheureusement et le rideau de douche à changer plus souvent
- Daniel Ricardo (9/5): - Facilidad de comunicación con el Hostel a través de Daniela quien en todo momento estuvo pendiente de mi llegada.
- Benjamin (8/5): Good value - Nice location just outside main downtown area and beach but very quick and easy to walk, also Exito supermarket along the way. Has outdoor and indoor communal area and kitchen. Dani on reception is great, she has fluent English for those like me whose Spanglish is not good enough. Kitchen small which might b an issue if there is full occupancy.
- Arthur (8/5): Very good -
- Hrvoje (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hrvoje (10/5): Exceptional -
- Noa (9/5): Great location, good room and value for money! - Great location Nothing
- Noa (8/5): Great location great host - Great location, Juan was lovely and there were 2 fans in the room making it cool and breezy All was good.
- Hemerson (1/5): Definitely not a hostel - The place is in a good location This isn't really a hostel. You'd be staying in someone's house which also has a tattoo shop inside. The place isn't really suitable for the intended purpose, it is really hot inside and even with a fan you will have issues to sleep in this heat.
- Felicia (10/5): Exceptional - Cosy accommodation with good kitchen near to the city center and shopping street. All the staff are really helpful and do everything for you to have a pleasant stay🌞
- Mat (8/5): Great - Awesome staff! Nice place, comfy Hot, fans and no airco...
- Marta (10/5): Exceptional - With Juan it's a vybe. He has been really kind to us. Moreover he can store your luggage while you visit the Tayrona park. Very recommended for a beautiful experience in Santa Marta. NOTHING
- Ana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kristóf (10/5): Juan is an excellent host - Amazing stay highly recommended
- Quirin (5/5): Passable - Basically a friendly and minimalistic place, with a kitchen and the opportunity to store luggage during the visit of Parque Nacionall Tayrona. Unfortunately it's dirty (used shreds, dirty floor)
- Isa (7/5): Good for value 👍 - Location and very nice staff, quiet at night. Extremely hot and in the room, hard to sleep. The fan did not help a lot to cool down.
- Luis (10/5): Agradable - Excelente
- Sagar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sagar (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly and chilled vibes
- Selina (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel has a great location, the kitchen is well equipped and the owners are very welcoming and helpful.
- Lyuben (10/5): Exceptional - We spent a night in Juan Pablo's hostel and he just made us feel at home. Very good host, he let us use the kitchen facilities and the location is a few blocks from Santa Marta's beach.
