    Ive stayed here many times over many years and I always find it hard to leave! Lucy and all the staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. The place is super clean including the pool. I ate so much great food from the restaurant here and the bar upstairs serves amazing drinks. I highly recommend divanga to anyway visiting Taganga!

    No complaints

    The pool and rooftop bar set this place apart from other hostels. Also a few blocks from beach so it was also fairly quiet by Colombia standards.

    I love the private rooms with the matisse painting, private bathroom, and tiny little outdoor seating area. There is a great ceiling fan, high quality linen and strong airco. The property can a lovely pool, strong wifi, and delicious food served throughout the day. I enjoy staying here everytime, this was my 4th visit.

    There were lots of ants, some in my bed when I arrived and sadly I was in a non-aircon room. I was sick the first night which was really hard when it was so hot, but after that the lack of aircon wasn't too much of an issue!

    Super friendly, lovely setup with the pool central to the hostel. Bar was great and food at we incredible. The cleaning staff were very thorough and famr in every day which was fantastic. Great to have an ensuite as well!

    The decor could use a little refresh. There was loud music till about 11pm so it was hard to sleep (though this seems to be the norm all over Colombia).

    This hostel was in a nice area of Taganga on the hill. The staff were quite nice. The shared areas include a pool, hamac areas and pool table that we enjoyed.

    there was nothing to not like.

    Wow! talk about an amazing hostel! Honestly it’s more like a mini resort. What a fabulous team of people that work here, and make you feel like you just came home. Super friendly staff, a swimming pool, a restaurant with fabulous food, an upstairs bar with pool table, a great breeze and nice view. lots of good space to hang out too. Our room had AC and a comfy bed. super clean and well laid out hostel. the owner Lucy and her team of staff and volunteers run a well organized hostel.

    The internet is insufficient, but that’s true throughout the whole town.

    One of the best hostel/guesthouses that I have ever stayed in. The whole place is very efficient and run well. Everyone knows their job and does it flawlessly. The dinners are excellent! Lucy is the personable proprietor and takes very good care of the guests.

    The kitchen was dirty, and not well equipped. Also, the girls at the reception were very loud, one of them entered into our room without knocking at the door first. A bit annoying overall.

    The rooms have AC, which is great for a good sleep. The vibe is chill, I recommend it if you want to get your PADI or SDI. They offer the course with Reef Shepherd, which is cheaper than other schools!

    Over $500 in goods were stolen from our locked room while we were away at Tayrona. The owner was not helpful at all and provided zero support for us. She basically just blamed us and insisted we must have just lost the items somewhere else. In fact she insisted many times that this has never happened before but there are other reviews from people who claimed the same thing happened to them!! DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR THINGS STOLEN

    One of the most uncomfortable hostel I had in a very long time. I got a 4 bed dorm when I booked a 6 bed one that looked spacious enough on picture. There was barely no space so 2 of us slept with our backpack on the beds. When one person moves, the 3 other beds move as well. Not to mention the neighborhood music that is blasting on purpose at an unbelievably high volume at random hours nights and days. I think to bother the guests and the hostel on purpose. (not slept in 3 nights with music starting at 6am or blasting until 3am). I do not understand the ratings that does not reflect much my experience there.

    Food from the restaurant is amazing, good backpacker atmosphere in general.

    We came here to do our open water dive certificate. The planing and communication from the hostal to organise this was top from the beginning. The full property is really nice and well thought trough. The food in the restaurant is super good and we loved that they have so many vegetarian options. Perfect for us was also the separat kitchen to cook for ourselves. The pool and hammocks were amazing to spend the hot afternoons as well as the upstairs bar with pool table. All rooms have air conditioning which makes the night much more comfortable.

    Super friendly staff! Great place to meet new people and to hang out in the community areas. Everything is very well organised and the staff is always available if you have any questions. It‘s just a short walk to the beach but not right in the center so it is very quiet at night.
