Nice hostel tucked away on a quiet side street in Rodadero. Pool is actually a small spa, but still appreciated. Reliable wifi (despite previous reviewer). Some food available at bar. Very friendly staff. Bed a bit uncomfortable - could feel the slats under the mattress - but dorm had it's own bathroom. Main problem here is that it's in Rodadero... More

We stayed in a private room with bathroom for 65,000 pesos per night which we thought was a great price compared to a lot of other private rooms in hostels in Colombia. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They helped us in booking our trek to Ciudad Perdida, they also booked us a bus to travel to Cartagena. The... More

Friendly welcoming staff. But at 65,000 pesos it's not cheap so it was a big disappointment that wiFi did not work the entire time I was there. Or- as another traveler put it- "the wifi simply doesn't work here." Either it shouldn't be advertised as such or a discount should be provided.. A shame bc nice otherwise.

There was a mix-up with my reservation so that when I arrived there was no bed for me... not a good start but, for once, it was actually not a problem at all....all was resolved for me while I was given a free welcome drink and easy directions to the beach. The people running this hostel are soooo nice, I... More

The top line should say it all, but I will add a few more lines. The owner and staff are truly wonderful. They go the extra mile for you. The rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere makes you feel as though you are part of the family and just not a tourist. The decor is very tropical... More

I am travelling with two others and we arrived without a reservation and they only had one double room left but went out of their way to move another bed into the room so we didn't have to move after our long journey. They charged us the same price for the room even though we were an extra person and... More

The host of the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a very nice atmosphere, almost hippie like. There was a hammock outside our room which was very nice when we wanted to relax. We only spent 1 night there but it was pleasant. There was no hot water in the room we stayed in.

Since you arrive until you leave, the owners (Giovani and Ivonne) will take care of you! Loved the little swimming pool (you can't really swim) to chill out at the end of the afternoon while having a beer. Nice and friendly little bar, which they manage to keep it on enough to create a good ambiance but making sure that... More
