Reviews of Nacuma Garden Hostel - Casa Nacuma

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!

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 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.

I loved the bathroom and the shower 🚿there is an Hamaca and mango tree in the backyard , thank you Natalia

Comfortable bed, bigger room with large shuttered opening to an outdoor garden. Hot shower, free filtered water, quiet environment.

Outdoor area smaller with no view.

The location, the people, the home with a kitchen to share! Open air hostel with beautiful architecture and lovely gardens.

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!

Supremamente amables! Que grata experiencia, los recomiendo

really nice garden and area with the kitchen big room and nice bathroom really quiet area not far from bus terminal

no hot water at all it'a not a big deal but the mattress is covered with plastic, don't like it too much

This is a beautiful hostal, Peaceful, clean, charming! It is the perfect place to get work done, as well as to get to connect with yourself in case you are looking to recharge your batteries. Camilo and Maria are wonderful hosts who love what they do, and guarantee that your needs are met. Awesome place to stay in Barichara!

Everything is awesome! Nothing to complain about Nacuma Hostal! There is more of the great things to be grateful that there is no space to consider anything else!

Relax hostel, staff was friendly and helpful, good price, included breakfast

It was really empty when I was there so no atmosphere.

I felt very welcome and comfortable.

Camilo is a lovely host, very friendly and has great suggestions for the area. Comfortable and quiet dorm room. Good showers. Drinking water.

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

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

Super friendly and helpful staff. Lovely and quantity terrace/property. Great location.

Everything. A very nice and quiet place to stay. Very good dorms with plenty of space. Nice breakfast

Such a beautiful place. Felt from the first moment when i entered relaxed. Camillo is such a nice guy. He plays beautiful guitar, too. Gracias por todo
