Do the bird watching tour! We are not really into birds, but we found it very interesting and we saw like 50 species. The host is really enthusiastic in explaining everything and he really inspired us.

Absolutely nothing

Jui Chi MaMA is a paradise, different bamboo houses built in the nature, 5 min walking from the Main Street. The room is easy, with the essentials but is so perfect. During the night u maybe cane hear the sound of various animals that are in the near but we slept very well. At the beginning we decided to stay only 5 days… we booked 7 days more. Really recommended if u wanna stay in the nature and feel the good vibe of Palomino :)

Stove burners gave some trouble, located far away from everything in town (which is good and bad)

We had a lovely, large, private room with attached bathroom, everything we could've hoped for. Nice social spaces to relax and meet others, beautiful natural garden space, very helpful chill and knowledgeable owner and staff.

I felt like there were more mosquitoes than usual. But also it could be me. They love me.

Rooms clean, nice kitchen, and great recommendations by Ger!:)

Lots of plants for shade, and beauty.

If anything, a little more kitchen tools would be a good addition to the already well equipped kitchen

Tranquil little oasis in Palomino, thankfully further away from the bustling main street. German welcomed us warmly, explained us everything and gave us useful culinary recommendations. We also did an amazing bird watching walk through Palomino with him. His passion, joy and knowledge are beautiful to witness- we learned a lot - definitely a recommendation. Do this when you are in Palomino - it adds so much to your stay, as you don’t only learn about birds but also about Palomino and the people. Rooms are spacious, comfy and clean.

Nothing - everything was great.

Nice comfortable rooms (we stayed in a room with an en suite and a terrace). It's a quiet hostel which is just off the road but it feels like you are in the middle of the jungle in the back garden. The family who owns the hostel are very nice and send information about the area and the property before we arrived. 100% would recommend.

Beautiful garden, rooms and plants! The Staff super nice! It's a bit far from the centre but not so bad. About 10min walk.

Eating meals here was a bit of a challenge. The kitchen furnishings were very basic but the biggest problem was lack of a decent food market nearby. The restaurants in Palomino that I tried weren't very good,. You may want to bring your own chef.

German, the live in managee is a great guy. Take a guided birding trip with him! My room and bed were comfortable and reasonably quiet because the property sits away from the noisy town center. The construction of the buildings, the dense landscaping, and the furnishings are all very pleasant and tasteful.

The hostel is perfectly maintained meaning it is super clean has nice rooms and a beautiful outside/ chill area where you can have your meals or just relax throughout the day. There is a nice kitchen where you can cook and a separate pantry for every room. The host and his team are really kind and helpful in any situation! I would definitely come back!

The vibe of the place is magical, you arrive from a busy main street in palomino to a quiet and relaxing place full of plants and good energy! The host is always happy to help you and recommend places to go, they also tell you a lot about Palomino, their people and the indigenous of the area! It was a full experience! I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Palomino! Thank you Ger for your hospitality!!

The hostel is big and great atmosphere inside

The location is a little far from the main road and the beach but good way to get your steps in!

The house has a huge garden with a lot of common areas including hammocks, couches and tables. The kitchen was big and well equipped, and the bathrooms clean. The private rooms have a mosquito net and a fan which is definitely needed. The host Ger was super nice and welcoming, he gave us so many tips and check-in time and even took us birdwatching - an experience I recommend!

We really felt at home in this Hostel and extended various times so we could enjoy this amazing town a bit longer. The hostel is no very much in the center but you can still reach everything easely by foot and you geg your peace and quiet. They habe a super nice kitchen, tons space to enjoy your day and the room and bathroom were very comfy and clean. One of the best things although was the staff, this cute family really made us feel at home here.

Jui Chi MaMa is a very special place and is located in an authentic neighbourhood and environment. The rooms and the garden are wonderful. The staff are very nice and helpful. It is a 15-20min walk to the beach, but it is very worth staying there. It is quiet there and you can relax wonderfully. The kitchen has everything you need. We will miss that place!!! Thank you!

A budding slice of paradise in a quiet corner of Palomino, the care taken in the creation of the space, it’s integration into the surrounding community and ecosystem, and the family-feel of the hospitality makes Jui Chi Mama the place to stay in Palomino. From the moment we were greeted by Germán, we knew the quality of our stay was important to him and his family. Germán took the time to sit with us with a map and orient us in the wider region of the Sierra Nevada and La Guajira province. If you like BIRDS or learning about local ecology and wildlife, you MUST book your tour with Germán. We had one of the best birding walks of our three month trip with his keen eye, beautiful storytelling, and kind and collaborative presence. Our room was very comfortable with a strong fan, comfy bed, great mosquito net, a cute little balcony, and clean private bathroom. The properties garden and communal space was lovely, though we didn’t make as much use out of it as it deserves as we spent most of our day out doing activities.
