    There were some other guests who stayed in the swimming pool screaming and playing music until 1am, while everyone had to wake up at 6am the day after. Owners should have come out to tell them to stop but they didn’t.

    We got a private room. It was big, clean and comfortable. Owners were very nice and breakfast was included and good. The place has a swimming and is very very close to the Tayrona entrance (5 min walk) which is very convenient.

    I had some issues locking the windows in my room. The shower rose had failed and so water just poured out rather than spraying.

    The Location is excellent only 500m or so from the entrance to Tayrona National Park. The staff are very friendly and helpful and gave me advice on good beaches to visit in the area. My room was comfortable and for the cost was exceptional value. The pool area is really nice. They stored my bag for free and gave me some advice on how to get to the airport at Santa Marta. Breakfast starts at 06:30 so you can eat before you go into the park.

    The mattress was too hard. Room on the Main Street so noisy

    Close to Tyrona entrance Stuff were great and very accommodating. I booked a Family room for 4 as that was the only one available at the time on booking.com but when I got to the property they had a smaller room for two which was what we needed and they gave us that. Breakfast is good and the place is very clean

    The only thing I didn't like was the shower system. It was water running through a small hose in the wall. The hose also doesn't have water pressure as it is not a shower head. It felt very awkward showering there. The water also didn't go down the drain fast so it felt like showering in your own dirt. Not a great feeling for me. Luckily I only stayed one night.

    Beautiful hostel, only 5 minutes walk to Tyrona park. Air conditioner in rooms works extremely well. Beds were super comfortable. Rooms are big. Breakfast was included as well. Nice hammocks to rest on in the common area. The owners are super friendly and welcoming.

    The entrance is a little bit scary, with dogs. But the accomodation itself is good.

    Ideal place if you want to sleep outside of the Tayrona park, but close to the main door, the day before or after. Simple bedroom with fans, clean and mosquitera. Nice pool to relax. The lady allows us to keep some luggage there while we visited Tayrona park.

    It is really the best option near the entrance to Tayrona Park. Very affordable price, a cute pool, and a very nice place in general. Much better to stay here than somewhere else inside the park. Definitely reccomended. We stayed one night before entering Tayona Park and this is what I definitely recommend if you plan to arrive in Santa Susana late afternoon. The stuff also helped to arrange a taxi directly from the airport.

    The bathroom was a bit basic, and the AC is only in one room.

    Location is superb, 5 minutes walking to the entrance of the Tayrona park. If I would go again I would not sleep in the park, and only visit the park during the day. We also got a free upgrade.

    No hot water, get ready to wake up at down due to light and farm animals crying. But for the price, it’s more than fine.

    Excellent value for money. Great location right at the entrance to tayrona park. Staff were also great, especially Anderson, who also took us to the terminal in Sant Marta in the moty. Room was spacious and clean. Nice pool.

    Only one of the rooms in our suite had air conditioning. Luckily we're a close a family so we all slept in that room. Would recommend they put an AC unit in both rooms.

    Great location. Park Tayrona is walking distance. Friendly staff. They're also doing some construction so i'm looking forward to coming back in the future and seeing what they've done to the place.

    We had a room without A/C and therefore only slept a couple of hours, we underestimated the temperature at night. Another couple who had a room with A/C slept great, so definitely pick a room with A/C. We didn't find it an issue, but the shower was cold water only and without a shower head.

    We used this spot to stay one night ahead of our Tayrona park visit. Very close to the entrance, so in that sense ideal. We could leave our backpacks at the hostal, which was nice. After asking the pool's pump was activated and the pool cleaned of small bugs, after which it was a great way to overcome the hot climate. Laundry service was quick and good. After our park visit (a day after checking out) they let us use the showers and pool to overcome the Tayrona heat, which was greatly appreciated!
