Guest Reviews
- Jenniffer (8/5): - El desayuno es muy rico y muy bien presentado.
El servicio al cliente también es muy bueno. Son muy atentos! La habitación en la que nos hospedamos estaba de frente a la calle principal y escuchamos chivas de fiesta y motos toda la noche.
- Laura (10/5): - Das Hostel ist sehr schön eingerichtet und alles ist sauber und ordentlich. Die Gastgeberin und auch die Angestellten kümmern sich herzlich. Das Frühstück ist fantastisch und auch das dazu gehörige Restaurant. Hier kann man sich rund um wohl fühlen. Nada
- Cardona (10/5): -
- Evelyn Vanesa (10/5): Muy conveniente. - The hosts y el personal de limpieza muy amables y atentos. Tienen servicio de restaurante con comida rica.

- marin (10/5): -
- Maldonado (8/5): Mí opinión sobre la estancia. - La atención de Mery y Erika. El precio excesivamente elevado del desayuno y los sandwiches.
- Luisa Ceferino (10/5): Un hogar a la distancia :) - La energía del lugar fue hermosa. Diana, su familia y Meri fueron amorosos, atentos y amables. Nos quedamos en dos ocasiones y lo volveriamos a hacer. Deseamos volver a compartir más con ellos y recorrer su cultura a través de sus saberes y visiones. Gracias infinitas
- Andrea Quevedo (9/5): -

- Andrea (8/5): - Great staff , nice place , good coffee and pleasant atmosphere
- Yurany (10/5): Muy bueno 😁 - Excelente ubicación. El personal desde que llegamos nos atendieron como si estuviéramos en casa. Muy amables las chicas, Mery y la chica de la tarde fueron excelentes de inicio a fin, atentas en todo lo que pudiéramos necesitar. La señorita Diana muy cálida en todo sentido. Los gatitos Panchita y Cinto, las perritas maravillosas, hacen parte de la estadía. Cabe destacar que el desayuno que ofrecen es muy delicioso. Enamorada del tiempo que estuve allí. Quedó muy agradecida! Todo fue excelente.
- oscar (8/5): -
- NohemyMC (9/5): Nos encantó - La atención del personal, Mary es un amor, estuvo muy pendiente de nosotras.
Me encantaron las mascotas del lugar 2 perros y 2 gatos
El desayuno 10/10 Recomendaría tener TV en la habitación y una cajonera
- Maria (10/5): Es lugar bonito con una energía maravillosa, es limpio y la atención fue magnífica - La atención de las mujeres que está a cargo, Mary y Erika hicieron de nuestra instancia en el lugar fuese agradable Nada
- Yeison (10/5): - Todo. La atención, el cuidado en cada detalle. El Desayuno. La cama. El Balcón. Es lejos de la playa.
- Janine (9/5): -
- Ant (9/5): - Atención de las personas... Y la comida deliciosa! .
- Gonzalez (10/5): - La atención del personal fue excelente y las habitaciones muy cómodas
- Ana (10/5): - La atención es espectacular, el lugar es demasiado acogedor, la comida deli y los animales la mejor compañía
- Isabel Marcela (8/5): Gracias! volvere! - Muy buen desayuno, excelente ubicacion y atenciónd el personal, muy capacitado y preparado.
La comida muy buena. Los animales domesticos ocupan espacios que no deberian, hay personas que no gustan de los animalitos en el comedor, por ejemplo.
En Booking no aparace que la habitacion que reserve tenia baño compartido; sugiero, aclararlo en la pagína, no se debe asimir que el cliente lo sabe.
- Ana Maria (10/5): Todo excelente - El alojamiento es muy lindo y muy limpio, el personal excelente, los desayunos deliciosos, queda en una muy buena ubicación y siempre están prestos a ayudarte, definitivamente nosotros volveríamos.
- Manuel (8/5): - El personal
- VASQUEZ PADILLA (10/5): - La atención del personal es excelente Nada todo perfecto
- Alina (9/5): Muy bien todo - Las instalaciones, todo en general No me gustó que las habitaciones no tienen TV
- Guzmán Alves (8/5): -
- Gilles (9/5): - La gentillesse du personnel : toutes les personnes présentes étaient très charmantes et prêtes à faire en sorte que mon voyage se déroule pour le mieux.
Il est situé dans le Rodadero mais à l'écart(15 minutes a pied), ce qui permet de bénéficier de la tranquillité. La chambre que j'avais ne disposait pas de sa propre salle de bain (c'était indiqué mais je n'ai pas fait attention)
- Florin (9/5): - Très propre, calme et agréable pour la nuit grâce à la clim Seul regret que le petit déjeuné ne soit pas servi plus tôt ou que l'on puisse se servir en thé café fruit quand on part tôt.
- Alessandro (9/5): Ottimo in tutto - Lo staff persone deliziose. Definire meglio che il bagno fosse in comune.
- Assya (6/5): - L’hôtel est sympathique et joli, dans une rue calme. La nourriture proposée est très bonne avec des options végétariennes. Il est impossible d’entrer et sortir de l’hôtel sans appeler le personnel, car aucune clef n’est donnée. Ce n’est pas très pratique.
Par ailleurs, le personnel manque parfois de professionnalisme, ce qui ce remarque à travers différents services (oubli de donner des informations importantes, musique très forte le soir au bar de l’hôtel, salle de bain commune qui n’est pas nettoyée tous les jours et est utilisée par les clients du bar, etc.). Bien que l’endroit soit sympathique, on ne s’y sent donc pas très à l’aise
- Claire (8/5): - L'accueil était super ! La chambre est confortable : clim, literie, calme. L'extérieur est assez petit et donne sur la rue. Les bâches permettent une certaine intimité mais du coup il fait très chaud dessous.
- Glenn (10/5): Nos sentimos como en casa. - El desayuno muy variado y delicioso, a la vez que era saludable. Cerca está el restaurante con un delicioso menú. La ubicación nos gustó mucho, ya que está muy cerca a la playa y a la avenida principal donde puedes tomar trasporte público, también tiene cerca supermercados y droguerías. Le doy un 10/10, la atención tanto del personal como de la dueña fue de lo mejor, nos sentimos muy cómodos. Gracias Diana y a todo el
Personal.
- Laura (9/5): Cosy - The service, the staff, the pets. Food quantity.
- Orlando (9/5): I highly recommend Magdalena Hostel for a relaxing stay. - The facility had the atmosphere of a real home, complete with lovely pets. The hosts work very hard to make you feel at home. They are wonderful people—friendly, helpful, and hardworking. My sincere appreciation to Diana, Yulver (forgive my spelling), Mery, and Lina for making my stay so pleasant.
- Elin (10/5): Friendly, beautiful and clean hostel - The staff and owners are incredibly friendly and helpful and made our stay the best. Their cute and well-behaved animals were a big plus! The hostel is clean, the beds comfortable and the aircon great (and necessary). Delicious breakfast. Good wifi! Located in a calmer part of Santa Marta with fewer restaurants, although close to the beach. A bit noisy during the evenings due to the traffic outside. Ideal for people traveling in groups or in pairs.
- Ohav (8/5): Very good -
- Manon (10/5): Best gem found in Colombia so far - After visiting several properties across Colombia (working as travel advisor) this one is the best gem so far !
Lovely atmosphere, spotless clean place, smooth communication with staff - everything is impeccable
- Claire (8/5): Very good - Everyone was really friendly and helpful. It was a lovely room which was comfortable and safe.
- Nadina (10/5): Cute Hostel with very good food - - We absolutely loved the food. 🥰 arroz amu ♥️
- the owners are very nice - it is not in the center of Santa Marta, but you have very close a bus station :)
- Bo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (10/5): Stay here please! :) - The host were amazing. She runs the hostel herself with some other amazing emploies. There are dogs and cats there and it has an amazing atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home. The breakfast was also good. There is some barking from the dogs in the street at unconvenient times. I dont think its possible to avoid in El Rodadero at street level though.
- Verónica (9/5): Superb -
- Olivia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Erico (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francisca (9/5): Superb -
- Kylie (9/5): Superb - Staff was very friendly and helpful!
Room was clean and comfortable. Airconditioning was much needed.
Location was good. Few minutes walk to the beach.
- Alexandre (10/5): Great stay and even greater people! - The staff was awesome! Super accommodating and always happy to help and suggesting places. Really friendly. The food was really good as well.
I highly recommend! The location wasn’t the best (still good) but definitely compensated by the staff.
- Thomas (10/5): Loved it - The property was new and nicely decorated. The outdoor patio/bar was really nice.
The hosts, Pilar and Jorge treated us like family and it was a very nice environment to relax. The beach was very close and so were some restaurants and grocery stores.
Large, comfy bed in the room with air conditioning, as well as a balcony. Would be nice to have a mirror and some hooks to hang things from in the room.
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional - lovely family and nice, clean rooms. Breakfast was perfect
- Charline (10/5): Exceptional -
- Juliana (9/5): Superb -
- Cristhian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Iptamenos3 (10/5): Exceptional - The heartwarming welcome that the entire team gave to my partner and me. This attitude continued during our entire stay and I can't stress enough how much we appreciated their genuine interest and care for our wellbeing and for providing us with a truly unforgettable stay. Diana and her colleagues are incredible people and I sincerely hope that we will have the opportunity to visit their extraordinary hotel again one day.
The place is an oasis of hospitality, our room was spacious, impeccably clean and comfortable with a great private shower and an incredible bed. The food that the restaurant offers is very tasty and carefully prepared. I loved every single second of our 3 days stay! One (minor) thing I would like to mention is that I think it is a pity that our breakfast did not include any fruit or fresh juice.. two of the strongest pillars of the Colombian culinary experience, in my humble opinion. Maybe you would like to look into that..
- Na (10/5): Exceptional - The staff and the owner are very kind, friendly and flexible. We felt they were really there to make sure you have a good time. We felt they were trying their best to improve also.
Very clean room.
Good location.
- Gabriela (8/5): Very good -
- Jorge (10/5): Amazing - Everything was amazing The place is quite and great attention
- Tobias (9/5): A great option if you want to stay in the more calmer side of SM (with a nicer beach) - - Diana was a fantastic host, really helpful with all our needs and friendly
- The breakfast was delicious. On one day, we had to leave before breakfast time and they even offered to make us something for take away
- Our room was quiet, clean and rather minimalistic (but had everything you need, except for a trash bin) - It sometimes became clear that the hotel is still very new, and not all logistics are 100% figured out yet. For example, the staff needed a bit long with the food, and on one day there was no milk for the coffee.
- You don’t get a key for the main door, which means that you always have to ask the staff to open the gate for you. If no one is aroun, you sometimes have to wait on the street for a while. The problem could be easily solved by installing a door bell.
- Sofia (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean facilities, friendly staff, good food, over all a wonderful place. Will come back again.
- Noam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bermudez (10/5): Fantastic experience!! - Location, location, location. The hostel is pretty close to playa Salguero one of the most beautiful beaches in Santa Marta and not that popular as the rest. Staff is super friendly and open to help you in anyway possible.
The rooms are beautiful and well kept. Beds are super cozy and everything is immaculate.
The hostel has restaurant service and let me tell you the gastronomic experience it will just blow your mind!!!
I truly recommend this Hostel you can feel the love invested in every detail of your experience. Not being able to stay longer and try all the dishes.
- Adriana (10/5): A very comfortable place to stay - It is very well located, extremely clean, the food is delicious. The employees are very helpful.
