“Time to relax and power up on energy”
The view is amazing. The chill vibe is also something I feel for. After a 4 day hike this place is just what I needed to power up on energy and just relax. For me it was easy to just spend a day in the social area reading, swimming, sun and drinks.

“BEST VIEW IN TAYRONA / GREAT FOR ROMANCE.”
The view is absolutely gorgeous and is close to different other places that are great to visit like the Tayrona National park. Perfect place to relax and meditate. All the personnel was very friendly and super helpful. The private room was very clean and super comfortable, it’s the perfect spot to have a romantic time with your love one. The food they served at the restaurant was delicious with very generous portions. I WILL BE BACK!

“Relaxing, would stay again”
Staff was nice. Kitchen had good food and decent prices. Road to hostel, steep but shorter than reviews made it seem (wouldn't want to carry a big suitcase though). Good areas to chill. Not too far to get to other places via bus/moto. Lovely views and waking up to birds. Mosquito nets on beds and curtains. Pool, nets, and hammocks good for relaxing. Free coffee in morning

“Paradise in the mountain”
The views are incredible, over the Carribbean sea and surrounded by the mountains and trees. The food is good and the staff are all very friendly. You can see all types of wildlife, especially birds, in the trees and landscape around the hostel.

The location is amazing, in the middle of a mountain, you have the feeling to be really in nature! Wonderful view to the seaside and the mountain. A magical place, it is a bit difficult to arrive to the top, but when you make it, it is amazing.

This was an incredible hostel! The views were incredible and the staff very accommodating. We stayed in the shared dorm the first night and then a private cabin the second. I would definitely recommend trying for a private cabin as it was so picturesque and like something out of a movie! Natalia at reception was very helpful and helped us with our transport. Kenet in the bar was very very nice! He went above and beyond to try and make the stay as good as possible for us and has great music taste!
