Wonderful location outside of palomino, endless walks on lonely and clean beaches possible, staff is awesome, helpful, friendly and the vibe is super chill. Food is very good and they can cater very well to vegetarians.

Highlight of my Colombian trip

Peaceful hostal with direct access to beautiful and calm beaches. The staff and the volunteers are super nice and organize morning yoga and other activities which creates a great social vibe. Don’t let you scare of the distance to Palomino, there are great moto taxis doing the trip in 5 min. Definitely one of the best hostels I have stayed at in South America.

A hostel with a very laid back, friendly, chilled vibe. The location is top class immersed in nature. It is it's own slice of Colombian paradise. Everyone working there was super friendly and they did all they could to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Good music, good food and only a 5 minute moto taxi to Palomino

The river and the basically private beach are beautiful and quiet. The gym space is big and there are lots of spots to relax. Our room was nice and clean. Volunteers and other hostel guests were friendly and group activities were run every day like pizza nights, movie nights or trips to waterfalls.

Best hostel in palomino/colombia

Amazing location just outside of the town with its own access to a quiet river and a short walk to the beach , surrounded by wildlife. Staff and volunteers all super friendly such a great atmosphere and set up we extended our stay by an extra 3 days wish we could've stayed for longer Kitchen is available although the they have a set menu (burger chips ect) and a special menu that changes daily for a cheap price Events every day Social but not a party hostel Great place to spend a few days or a few weeks

Fantastic location next to the river / beach and very sociable and fun!

- great location right next to a river for swimming and a beach - such a social vibe, I met so many great people - great food options for lunch and dinner to buy for reasonable price - fantastic activities including painting a mural, pizza making and a fire show - you can rent a kayak to paddle into the nearby mangrove which I would 100% recommend - wonderful volunteers and staff, all very welcoming and kind

Fun, friendly and sociable hostel in nature

Super friendly staff and volunteers, lots of activities and events (perfect for solo travellers), beautiful location in nature (jungle, beach and river access) while being close to the fun of Palomino. Delicious reasonably priced food and shared meal times. I can see why people extend their stay!

No sleep by the San Salvador

Staff and community were awesome. The location is ok. It's right near the highway, so it's easy access. But you also hear the road noise. The beach is amazing. About a 20 min walk from the hostel. Good actives. Yoga was awesome.

I'm repeating

A wonderful place to disconnect and connect with nature, yourself or others. River, jungle, wild beach. Activities and places for socialising. Staff and volunteers are kind and helpful. Good food. Very clean. I've seen people extend their stay! Howling monkeys wake you up. You cross the jungle for 20 minutes to arrive to a wild beach. One hour walk on the beach to Palomino. Kayaks. Yoga. A motorbike can take you to the village anytime for 6,000 pesos. Breakfast included (7.30-9.30h). There's a daily menu for lunch (13.00-15.00h) and for dinner (19.00-21.00h) with vegetarian option (falafel 20.000 pesos), chicken or beef (25.000 pesos) or fried fish (35.000). Unlimited water refill for 5000 per day.
