    It was not very clear which were the times of the reception. We had to wait a lot to do our checkout.

    Beautiful location in the middle of nature and very close to the river. Very quiet and a little bit outside of the town

    Very small bed. Everything in the room was damp, and would not dry due to the climate. However, I would stay again.

    Very good location, beautiful surroundings. Small private balcony, and big shared balcony. Very clean shared kitchen. I would stay again.

    The other hostel (casa Quinto) has better sunset views, a bar and a common area, where as casa Maracuja is located below at the river. To use the facilities at casa quinto you need to go up a steeper path for 6 minutes. We would book the casa Quinta next time.

    Perfectly located! Super clean, super equipped kitchen, it rather feels like being in a private air bnb as there were not many guests around.

    As some others have mentioned, you're able to hear music from the other side of the river. To us this was not too distracting and we didn't find this an issue. In our shower, which was clean, there were some spots on the sanitary kit. This could be remnants of the paintwork, or starting fungus, we weren't sure.

    We stayed in a private room and had a great time. The fully equipped kitchen, well maintained property and friendly staff made for an excellent visit. You can fill your bottles with clean, filtered water and the overall atmosphere is great. The Mirador with a great view of Santa Marta and sunrise/-set is a great bonus!

    If you don't eat eggs breakfast is a bit light.

    Quiet, lovely and beautiful hostel - incredibly beautiful surrounds! There were few of us who stayed there but everyone was soooo friendly and could meet other travellers very easily. Had own fan and shelf by your bed in the dorm. Comfortable bed, towels included and extra towels provided for the river you can swim in. A great bathroom with hot shower! Beautiful facilities and great cooking facilities. Incredibly helpful staff. 👌🏼 perfection. Included breakfast. Staff went above and beyond to help all of us staying there. You can walk up to a lovely viewpoint for sunset at the other property across the road. Gorgeous.

    Unfortunately for the owner of Finca Bolivar, there is a hostel across the river which is organizing regularly (so we've heard) very loud and long parties, this means hardly sleep for any guests that stay at Casa Maracuya, this does not apply to the main property above. When we were there, it went on till 5h30 am in the morning (Saturday) while it was announced to stop at 2 am. Like sleeping next to a disco, horrible. You totally miss the point of being out in nature. However Casa Maracuya is still great, well located and has everything to provide a wonderful stay. So hopefully the neighbours close rather sooner than later.

    Location is perfect, only short walk from the town, next to a river and surrounded by lush gardens.

    The breakfast was a steep 10 min uphill walk.

    We stayed in Casa Mango, private twin room. The facilities were so clean. We had a bathroom and shower to ourselves and practically a kitchen to ourselves. It was very well-equipped. The beds were comfortable and each bed had a fan. Short walk to town. Really quiet and peaceful place to sleep. Well-run Hostal.

    The breakfast is served uphill in the other part of the villa, you gotta earn the breakfast and you start your day by sweating a bit

    Serenity of the space with the sound of the river Access to the river Nice and equipped kitchen Felt like we had our own flat with the terrace Close to the center so you can easily go there walking

    This feels more like a cosy house than a hostel. Staff leave you to your own devices. If you connect with the right people, it's amazing. We had shared meals and taught each other dancing on the verandah. House is very clean (cleaned daily) and towels included! Beds are awesome! Very peaceful place to wake up and do yoga/meditation.

    It was a super clean hostel, they cleaned the dorm rooms daily and gave you fresh bedding and towels. It’s a 10-minute walk outside the town of Minca, it is uphill but this shouldn’t put you off, everywhere is uphill in Minca This place had such a homely feel, everyone was so friendly. Also, Miguel sat us down on arrival and gave us some recommendations for what to do in Minca and was super welcoming. You’ll find a well-equipped kitchen, the wifi works great, and they have lovely chill areas, even a BBQ. The showers were hot and amazing and they even had a hairdryer. You each get a spacious locker in the dorm rooms, the only niggle was there was no plug socket near my bed. The highlight of this place is its sunset viewpoint, it’s well worth the climb, trust me. You also have access down to the river where you can cool off and swing around. Easily one of the best hostels we have stayed in over 6 months in Latin America, if your going to Minca stay here.

    From my point of view, when we arrived we waited for a couple of minutes in the door even tho I annouced my arrival, and already talked in the phone for my reception, one of the workers opened the door but he was not the person who was going to receive us so, he wasn't sure to let us in then we waited a couple of minutes more until someone came to open the door and receive us. Also, I consider that the check in at 3 pm is too late considering the check out it's at 10 am. I'd suggest reducing this interval of time.

    I loved the facilities, overall the place was cozy and private, everything was super clean and quiet, enough space for the amount of people. The kitchen has everything to cook, the fridge has space and storage boxes, and everything is labeled big +. The room where I stayed was big and the terrace was super cute, not much of a view but not a problem since I was mostly resting, which make the bed such an incredible comfort zone, I need to highlight that bed, amazing!! Also, a big comfort for the location is having hot water shower since the water in Minca is really cold. Loved that! The common areas are very spacious, and the sunset view point... Speachless!
