As this hostel is organized around an outdoor courtyard, it does get a bit more dusty and has spiders in the corners, but they do clean often and it is just part of the charm of a place like this!

I tried a few hostels in Barichara and this one was by far my favorite! Amazing location, close to everything but in a quiet street. The dorm room was huge, with comfortable beds and big lockers. The kitchen had enough equipment to cook and the common bathrooms/showers were clean and had hot water. You can also do laundry for a fee and get breakfast of eggs/arepa/fruit/coffee for 10k. Camilo is friendly and helpful and speaks perfect English in case your Spanish is not quite good yet! This place is really peaceful and welcoming, it felt like a little home and it was easy to meet other people. Great wifi as well!

I love Nacuma; it's tranquil, comfortable and well equipped. I was going to stay only a few days but ended up lingering for two and a half weeks! And it was one of the places I was truly sad to leave. It felt like home! The hosts, Camilo and Maria are absolutely lovely. They are accessible but also respect privacy and let you do your thing. Camilo has also been super helpful with tips on what to to in Barichara as well as other spots in Colombia. Natalia, the house keeper is super friendly and a lovely person to be around. I hope to return soon. Just book it! I booked the room with the garden view - 100% recommend! It was also the most peaceful rest I've had in Colombia. Oh, and the showers and bathrooms are super clean and ver close to the room so it being shared is no issue. The kitchen was also equipped for all my needs and always clean.

Super nice staff. The hostal has a very calm, but still social vibe. However, there are very few people here, sometimes. The view of the city roofs and church is marvellous. The area feels safe. I kept extending my stay night after night because I was able to relax here so well. Also, there is a parrot that sings the Colombian anthom in the morning, it's hilarous! Go to the pool three blocks up the hill! It is so large, prestine, calm, barely any people and only $2 entry. Next to it, there is the best mountain viewpoint in town. And, check out Comuna 13 and e.g. their Yoga Classes!

If I have to say something (very minor), I'd just say that a bedside lamp would be helpful, especially if you are sleeping at the top bed

Location is great and Camilo is a super host (and great guitar player!). He gave me all the useful info I needed for the rest of my trip. The hostel is basic but pretty and common areas are nice places to enjoy and relax

Zero complaint

If you want to feel how it’s like to stay in a more than 100 years old house, Nacuma gives that experience in the best way possible. Most importantly no place is complete without a great Host, Camilo definitely leaves no stone unturned, the experience wouldn’t be the same without the hospitality and great communication from Him, one thing is sure, you’re in good hands in Barichara.

It was the perfect stay for us nothing to complain about.

Camilo was a great host. He gave us alot of suggestions what to do in Barichara. And no matter what problem we had he was always there to help us. He even got us bustickets for our next trip The house is gorgeous. Its very old and charmig but in perfect condition. Our room had always the right temperature without fan because its almost 5m high and it has a traditional roof. There is also a nitendo to play and a nice garden. What we also appreciated wad that ita was a nonsmoking hostal.

Camilo is an excellent host, very kind and good to chat to. Breakfast was so tasty, Natalia is also very sweet. The bed was comfortable, the house is beautiful. Very good value for money for the dormitory. I had a great stay. A relaxed and tranquil space.

Very hospitable environment and more than I expected in a hostel with shared room. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The house has large, open common areas with a lovely garden area offering a good view of the town.

The downside of the rustic charm... Specifically no fans to keep the mosquitoes away at night (not actually a big problem but a couple of bites) A bit of dust (presumably from the roof) on the bed sheet (I extended twice, so overall, I liked it a lot!)

Staff very good, as was the breakfast (lots of fruit and eggs) Rustic charm...it is a pretty building and courtyard

Camille is an excellent host, very pleasant , helpful and informative. The location is great, only a couple of blocks from the plaza but still quiet, the room was spacious and clean and the breakfast was fine.
