As a result, we had to book another property at the last minute, which was more expensive and offered fewer amenities. We are also disappointed with how Booking handled the situation, as they did not agree to cover the price difference for the replacement accommodation, even though it was within the proposed budget. While we understand that unexpected issues can occur, the overall experience was not satisfactory, and unfortunately we were the ones who had to bear the consequences of this situation.

good location close to Tayrona park. very nice staff and management nice surrounding, relaxing and peaceful

Location was very close to Tayrona National park. The breakfast was simple however good. Nice relaxing pool. Very helpful employee who kept us informed of the park closure, getting us an extra night as our glamping was cancelled, getting us a taxi for our return and getting us a lunch for our bus ride to our next stop Cartegena. There was no hot water in the shower. We asked for 2 beds, got 1 double bed and 1 mattress that we had to pull out from under the bed.

The Hostal is in a great location on the river and we had a large room with a view of the river which was great. You can see much wildlife in the garden and along the river: birds, squirrels, butterflies, parrots all come through. We even saw an Osprey sitting in one of the trees. The pool is in perfect condition and quite large, with an area to swim and a jacuzzi type of area to hang out. The property has many places on several levels to sit, relax, watch wildlife or play. They are well prepared for occasional power outages as they have a solar system with batteries that powers essentials (like lighting) in case of an outage. The manager, Victor, is very attentive and helpful. We are travelling with a small dog which meant we couldn't get into the national park and he helped us find places just outside the park to visit. Overall easily the best place to stay in our whole trip throughout Colombia. Nothing that we didn't like. The only thing I can think of would be flyscreen doors (which I haven't seen anywhere in Colombia). They are fantastic to keep mosquitoes out while allowing a fresh breeze in the room at night.

The hostel manager Victor was extremely helpful; he gave us advice numerous times about trips, tours, booked us a taxi, arranged packed lunches for when we wanted a day in Tayrona Park, etc. Nothing seemed like an inconvenience to him. He also allowed us to check in 90 mins early. Hostel was clean, rooms were a good size, had a lovely pool area (again good size) and was good value for money. Was 1km walk to the park which was helpful and had a handful of nice restaurants and cafes nearby (on the main road just outside). Would 100% use again and recommend to friends and family.

We had a great stay! The room was comfortable and very clean. Air con worked great and even without it, the room itself felt quite airy and not too hot despite the temperatures along the coast. The pool is really clean and nice. The guest kitchen is also a perk. Overall, good amenities! Tayrona entrance is walkable or you can catch one of the buses that passes in front of the hostel. We liked the location and found it convenient. Highly recommended.

Loved the property! So peaceful, clean and great location to visit Tayrona National Park. The staff were so friendly and spoke perfect English and helped us navigate our visit including reccomendationa for dinner and getting the bus to Palomino. Loved the location it felt like our own private villa with beautiful gardens and corners to relax. We were upgraded to the Honeymoon Suite which was so spacious and such a treat!

Amazing staff. Very good location. Refreshing pool.

An immaculate property with exceptional staff. Such a lovely - can’t recommend this place enough. It was perfect ?

Loved this place. Great host Victor and his family who were communicative and always helpful without ever being over bearing. It's got an amazing pool you can actually swim in. Comfortable ensuite rooms with style and comfort and a little bar for the evenings. Breakfast was also really good too. Highly recommend it here. The only thing I would have liked would have been a smaller light or two in the rooms

So friendly Staff and the whole area is extremly relaxing and they Put a Lot of love in the small Details.

Nice location People are really nice and helpful Good breakfast

Exceptional

We had a great stay! The owner is super nice and attentive, and there is just a really nice atmosphere at the place. The pool is great and the dogs are cute. Big recommendation.

Perfect location to explore Tayronna in one day and Palomino the other day….there is a big swimming pool and a river inside the hotel. A nice place to chill. The owner was really really nice and good really good advises for the activities around ! Good breakfast and adorable dogs !

Great hospitality! Super friendly staff. We could leave our luggage when we were in the national park. We were helped by arranging lunch for during hike. Really great!

Location, pool area, comfortable bed I’ve stayed in many accommodations and never had issues with staff. But the manager here made my experience unbearable to the point that I actively avoided interacting with him. At first, I simply wanted to take a bath after days of camping (thats why I booked this place since photos indicated there is a bath). I asked for a simple fix, a plug to close the bath. Instead of a quick solution, I was left waiting for hours without explanation, only to find out they were moving me to another room. This process dragged on past check-out time, and I had no choice but to stay another night. Throughout, the manager was visibly angry, dismissive, and passive-aggressive, ignoring my attempts to communicate. Even in the new room, there was no hot water (so no bath ? but I decided not to inform staff so I don’t interact with the manager again), WiFi barely worked, and the overall experience was frustrating. The location is good, but there are much better options in the area.

The hostal was very close to the park, which was nice after a long day of hiking. The manager was very helpful at all times. He also had very good english. Overall a nice stay if youre looking for something calm and close to the Tayrona park. Would recommend :-) The bed was a bit small and hard for us. WiFi were also a bit unstable. However, this seemed to be a problem for the whole area. Would also be nice with some hot water for the bath tub.

A good value and characterful base to get to the park and a good place to spend time chilling out. Our room was clean and the air con worked perfectly. Breakfasts were nice, served by the smiling ladies with freshly prepared fruit. Over four nights we found that the restaurant right next door called Coconuts was great for lunch or dinner, and you can order in. As the other reviews say, Victor cares that his guests are happy. We were there over new year and he gave us excellent advice to visit the park on the 31st as it would be packed on the 1st and 2nd. We had a great hike and we saw huge queues the day after. Park entrance is walkable but big lorries on the roads sometimes. There were really heavy rains at night during our stay which knocked out the local water supply, and when there was water, hot water was patchy, but a fix was being worked on. The wooden taps and basins look kooky but don’t work as well as regular ones.

Lovely oasis. Beautiful gardens and definitely the best pool we've had in 2 weeks travelling. Room was spacious and loved the crafted wooden furniture and fixtures. Shower was excellent. Breakfast delicious and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing. One thing to note which is down to personal preference. Mattress is very firm which was fine for me but not everyone's preference.
