- Natalie (7/5): - Our room was very clean and comfortable and the AC worked well. The rooftop terrace was a lovely place to relax. The staff were very kind. Overall good value for money The wifi was very patchy, and at one point didn’t work for a whole day. It was handy being able to use the kitchen, but unfortunately it wasn’t very well equipped (most of the pans were missing handles, barely any cutlery, no chopping boards, only 2 mugs etc). Some of the neighbours played very loud music all night, but I suspect this is a problem all over Taganga at not just at this hotel

- Juan Carlos (10/5): - Dana, la persona en recepción fue muy amable y atenta con nosotros. Tambien la otra señora que estaba encargada de otras cosas y vino a ayudar por un momento fue muy amable.
Mia (nuestra), la gatica, hace muy bien el rol de recepcionista también.
El hotel es muy cerca de todo pero no hay ruido ni mucha gente.
Las arepas de huevo al frente del hotel estaban muy provocativas, no las probamos pero nos quedamos con ganas.
Al lado del inicio del camino para Playa Brava y de la playa
Nos pareció limpio y ordenado.
Este no es un hotel de lujo, pero es agradable y suficiente para el descanso y la comodidad.
El rooftop es super agradable y hay una brisa deliciosa. Se puede ver el atardecer ahi.
Llegamos antes de la hora del check in y nos dejaron quedar en el rooftop por un rato y nos entregaron el cuarto como 2 horas antes de la hora normal. Super amables.
El aire acondicionado funcionaba perfecto en habitación 203 y 204. La carretera por la que los carros llegan al hotel esta malita.
La puerta del baño deja pasar luz entonces se ilumina el cuarto muy temprano.

- Richard (10/5): - Alles wie in der Unterkunft beschrieben, ich komme immer wieder gerne zurück in dieses Hotel, die Mitarbeiter machen es zu einem zweiten Zuhause. Alles top Alles super, es könnte mehr Besteck und Geschirr zur Verfügung gestellt werden. 10x Messer, Gabel, Löffel, Tassen und Gläser würden ausreichen

- Mercado (10/5): Nos gustó mucho, y el precio excelente - Buen trato Todo chevereee
- Simon (8/5): -
- Estephania (8/5): - Buena ubicación, buen personal, tiene disponibilidad para cocinar aunque pocos utensilios
- Correa (8/5): - Que da cerca todo, muy seguro y los habitantes son muy cordiales Deberían asear las habitaciones, una vez salgamos a otro destino para poder recibirla nuevamente limpia
- Mateo (7/5): - la ubicacion es muy buena, cerca de la playa y del centro, y lo sufuciente alejado del ruido del centro y de la musica fuerte, asi que eso es perfecto para los que les molesta el ruido al dormir. El baño es muy bien aseado, en el tercer piso tieen una sala de estar hay mesas nevera para guardar lo que quiras, con una bonita vista al mar, las habitaciones tienen aire, televisor lo que es muy bueno, si buscas ir a recorrer taganga y un lugar solo para dormir de noche esta perfecto. Pedi una habitacion que le entrara poca luz ya que la primera vez que fui no pude dormir mas en la mañana dado que la ventana tiene cortinas por las que entra mucha luz y no deja dormir mas, podrian poner unas cortinas que no dejen entrar tanta luz, igualmente la puerta del baño es de esas puertas de un material que dejan entrar mucha luz y el baño tienen una pequeña ventana por donde entra luz, la luz que refleja la puerta del baño y la de la ventana porque las cortinas dejan pasar mucha luz se hace dificil dormir en la mñana o el dia. recomendacion cambiar las cortinas a unas mas gruesas y la pierta del baño que deja entrar mucha luz, areglan eso y mejora mucho mas el lugar.
- yismelys (8/5): - Las instalaciones, las habitaciones muy limpias. Se fue la luz por un momento, el hotel no tenía planta, sin embargo algo de no preocuparse.

- Oleg (6/5): - Value for money; yet, there are better places in Taganga to book. Strong smell of chemicals in the room; the room is too small.
- Aleja López (9/5): Lejos del bullicio de Taganga. - La habitación que reservé me gustó mucho, tenía estantes para descargar las cosas, las camas muy cómodas y aire acondicionado. Todo muy limpio y la terraza es espectacular. Una hermosa vista.

- Sebastian (8/5): Very good -
- Fabio (8/5): Very good -
- Edwin (9/5): Superb -
- Mayré (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (10/5): We had a good time with my family. - The staff is very friendly. Very close to the beach and restaurants, I also loved the rooftop. It was definitely worth the price. The road to get to the property needs maintenance.
- Fabienne (9/5): Great place for great value - It‘s located right by the beach and everything is in walking distance. It‘s a little more quiet than other areas with only a dirt road outside and felt safe to walk home even in the evening (I wasn‘t out late at night). The staff was very kind and helpful (be mindful to bring cash to pay your stay with unless you have any of the apps they suggest). The common areas offer a beautiful view and the opportunity to relax and cook, there weren‘t many people there at the times I went. My single person bedroom was clean and comfortable. It was a little dark in my room and at times there were loud noises at night (I‘m guessing ACs and showers, bring some ear plugs), but all in all I slept well.

- Fabian (7/5): Good - Great roof terrace! Room rather small and with no natural light.
- Barbara (6/5): Nice but basic budget hostel, great for 1-2 night stay. - Basic budget hostel a short walk from the bustle of Taganga beach front. Great breezy roof terrace with hammocks. Very small room and basic bathroom with no hot water. But given heat didn’t matter.
- Carmelo (1/5): Bad -
- Maya (10/5): Good value comfortable stay close to the beach - Lovely spacious rooms with AC and comfortable beds.
The staff are really friendly and the location is right on the beach. The terrace is also beautiful! Nothing
- Charlyn (10/5): Exceptional - It’s very clean, the dorms are spacious and have AC and lockers. The breakfast (eggs, toast,coffee,jam) at the roof terrace was also very good. Maria at the reception is super helpful and was very kind. Thank youu for a perfect stay!
- Callum (1/5): Cancelled my booking a few hours before I was due to check in. - - Cancelled my booking a few hours before I arrived. Offered no alternative . I was travelling in the morning so it was a nice stressful time.
- Bryan (9/5): Superb - People were nice and the breakfast even earlier.
- Bernard (9/5): Superb - Everything Some minor repairs need to be made.
- Thomsano (7/5): Good -
- Orestis (1/5): In general our stay was disappointing! Lack of professionalism and respect! - The hotel is located close to Taganga beach, so the location is more or less convenient, even though the street can get scetchy and probably unsafe during the night. .The view from their terrace is very nice while getting breakfast. We were extremely disappointed with the attitude and lack of professionalism of the staff and management at the hotel.
They charged us 100,000 COP, which equals $25 USD, for washing our clothes. Such exorbitant prices for laundry services are unreasonable, even by international standards.
Moreover, they provided us with false information regarding transportation to Tayrona Park by boat. We intended to visit Tayrona for one day and return the following morning to catch a bus to Cartagena. They informed us that the boat would depart at 12 pm and return at 10 am (both times were incorrect). This misinformation led us to bring only the bare minimum of clothes to Tayrona. Consequently, the next day, we had to walk for 2 hours in Tayrona and take two buses to return to their hotel in Taganga in time. Despite promising to reimburse us for the lost boat trip back to Taganga (equivalent to $50 USD for both persons), they failed to make the bank transfer. Essentially, they withheld our money, and despite numerous attempts to contact them, they did not respond. When they finally replied, they claimed it was our responsibility to reclaim the money from the boat company.
The room was not clean; there was dried toothpaste all over the sink, and instead of a showerhead, there was a single tube emitting cold water.
Additionally, during the weekend, the noise from nearby clubs and bars was excessive.
In summary, while I understand that Colombia faces challenges such as poverty and infrastructure issues, the aforementioned complaints have nothing to do with high standards. It is entirely reasonable to expect a hotel to: 1) charge fair prices for basic services, 2) provide accurate and reliable information, and 3) maintain a clean and sanitary environment. "
- Tobias (8/5): Very good - Good location, nice staff, good room, decent Kitchen to use for own cooking Very boring breakfast, no hot water in showers
- Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aaron (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were exceptional. Maria and Elvis were fantastic, so kind and welcoming. They let us keep our luggage at the hotel for a few days, we were late a day and they did not mind. Very safe, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was great on the rooftop terrace and Mia the cat was very kind and lovely. Definitely recommend staying here while in Tanganga
- Jarno (7/5): Clean and central, but very loud. - Staff is very friendly and helpful. On our first night we had a room facing the street which was incredibly loud & they were able to move us the next day. Breakfast is tasty. Value for money is good & rooms are clean. Although the location is super close to the beach, this meant we heard super loud music from down the street up to midnight. Not at the fault of the hotel; but as it was unbelievably windy when we were in Taganga it was impossible to spend time on the roof without being blown away. Can’t fully recommend Taganga as a whole, but if you’re keen on it this is a decent option.
- Cristian (7/5): Good option - The facilities Location. Even though it's close to the beach, it is hard and uncomfortable to get there by car. No decent roads.
- Sabina (9/5): Good price for a private room - The accommodation is fairly priced. There’s a kitchen and fridge to keep/prepare your own food. I also liked relaxing in the hammocks in the large terrace area. The staff team are friendly and welcoming. Plus, I loved the sassy tortoiseshell cat in the lobby! The window in my room looked out onto a wall, which made the room a bit dark and stuffy. It would also be good to have some bowls in the kitchen for cereal, etc.
- Angel (8/5): Great location close to the beach would stay again. - The ac worked well and the rooftop area was comfy. The shower barely had any water pressure and the shower head needed to be replaced
