To enjoy the views it’s a steep walk up the hill but worth it!

Friendly staff with a warm welcome, wonderful views from all parts of the hostel, great value for money and close proximity to Parque Tayrona

The road to the place is very steep

The place is full of nature and tranquility

The location is amazing, in the middle of a mountain, you have the feeling to be really in nature! Wonderful view to the seaside and the mountain. A magical place, it is a bit difficult to arrive to the top, but when you make it, it is amazing.

the food from the restaurant was your only option really. unless you wanted to get a taxi somewhere else. the food was pretty standard.

the location and the views are incredible. we stayed whilst a hostel near by had a festival and it was really peaceful. nice place to just chill for a few days. can stay here and go to the parties in the area.

the 70^ degrees uphill battle every time you would go up to your dorm. Way too steep. If you’re a bit fat you will die.

it was very clean, and nice facilities.

Tough hill to climb to your room, but definitely worth it if you're in shape to handle it.

The views were outstanding. Very helpful and hospitable staff.

It was a mission to get to our rooms. We did not expect a 20 mins steep steep walk/hike to rooms.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful rooms and clean beautiful wash facilities.

As a solo traveler, I felt like an odd person out. It's not very social. They don't have many bathrooms, and the ones they do have aren't very private. There's also not much hangout space--only the restaurant and the reception area, but no real chill area.

The view is incredible! I didn't mind the climb up the hill to get that view. :) It's also possible to walk to a very lovely beach in 20-25 min. The walk is mostly down a dirt road and I enjoyed it.

Know that you are in nature, so mosquitoes are definitely present.

Beautiful breathtaking location! Good breakfast, friendly staff.

Loud music from a property next door made it difficult to sleep even with ear plugs…. but it is Colombia and was Saturday night so to be expected a little. As other reviews have mentioned the driveway is STEEP and narrow and the stairs once you reach the hostel are no joke - this is not an accessible property for anyone with mobility issues.

The views are spectacular and the rooms were very well kept. Basic but very clean. Food was good and the staff were lovely, and even helped us to arrange transport and carried one of our bags to the room once we were at reception.

the main entrance is after a 5 minute walk by a very inclined way

great view and cozy atmosphere, shared dorms are comfortable

cold shower, limited food choice, no atmosphere. Steep hike to get to the rooms, restaurant or down to the main road, you don't want to leave.

The views here are absolutely stunning but you have to earn them. You basically have to hike up a steep hill for 20 minutes to get to your room. The rooms are huge cabins. Nice cargo net to take photos on.

The stay was very relaxed with a great view on the surrounding area. The meals served by the friendly staff were really delicious and I enjoyed them during music on their terrace.

Nothing bad to say!

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Niuwi Hostel. Obviously the first thing you realize is just how beautiful the view is. This is something you do not get anywhere else in Buritaca. The pool was an amazing addition to the view. I stayed in a private room and slept like a baby at night! The entire team was very hospitable and helpful. The drinks were great at the bar, and the fried fish with Coconut rice in the kitchen was amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about my stay.

Staying at Niuwi was an unforgettable experience. The place is a true paradise between the mountains and the sea. The staff was incredibly warm and attentive, always making sure we felt at home. Every detail is cared for with love,from the cozy rooms to the delicious food. We left feeling inspired, recharged, and deeply connected to nature. Highly recommended!

The photos are misleading a little and there is a LOT of steps and they don’t tell you aware you of that.

It has a beautiful view, and the hostel is very nice. The food is really delicious and the staff are so nice.

The hike up was tricky, but became a challenge I loved most. If you have a touch of asthma or fear of heights, this place may not be fore you. (But I survived!)

Starting my trip nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada was the best decision of my trip. It was a short 20 min walk to the sea, where I could attend surf lessons, and meet up with friends staying at various hotels and hostels near by. I appreciated the sense of isolation, while being so close to the sea and places I was as going. The staff were very kind and offered a sense of belonging. I went during a quiet season, and benefited from the quiet and a chance to listen, paint and draw.

It’s a bit of a walk but worth the view

Wow is an understatement! Camila and Sergio offered us a paradise during Bonanza Festival. They were the best hosts and the view was just unmatchable, same a the quiet vibe that we needed to get a proper rest. I cannot wait to be back!

Nothing, the only thing is to be prepared for a lot of stairs.

Amazing view! Good food!
