    Some of the doors were very low. We had some mosquitoes in the room.

    Lovely staff and a great breakfast with an amazing view of the bay. The beach was just a short walk away.

    It's a great hostel, I'm not a fan taganga but if that's where you want to go, then this is the right hostel. The staff went above and beyond. Lots of stairs tho, for those with less mobility.

    Place is really nearby the pueblo, just a few minutes up the hill, but you have to be careful going up as there is no sidewalk, you basically walk on the side of the road and Colombians are a bit agressive with their way to drive 😅 Light in the room is also maybe a bit too bright and the small side lamp provided was not working properly.

    I just stayed a night there to relax from my trip to Tayrona, and I slept like a baby! They have a very clean terrace with a swimming pool where you can enjoy the sunset while sipping your piña colada. Not to mention "Coco", the cute and playful owner dog, I fell in love with her 😍

    A little walk up the hill from Taganga beach. There's no sidewalk, so you have to walk on the road.

    as the name says, it is colourful. Well designed with an amazing view. A real feel good place and the staff contribute to this. The dorm had AC, which was nice. Good lockers in the room.

    The walk between the hostal and the village is a little dangerous, I wouldnt recommend doing it with small children (no sidewalks and curves with at times buses)

    The view on the bay is WOW! The service was good. Room was clean and had a cute private balcony! It was really HOT and did well to put AC plus a big FAN.

    Street noise was constant as it’s close to the road and our room was next to the pool mechanical room so that was also noisy. Shower pressure not great but hey, it’s Colombia!

    Good location, basic but clean accommodation. Very nice staff. Far enough away from the beach/town so music noise not an issue. Pool small but nice and the hammock was fun!

    An excellent choice for us

    It is good to know that even though it is close to the beach, the road or the stairs there are not nice. Also the hostel has a lot of stairs. It is ok for healthy people, but it can be a problem if there are any special needs.

    We liked this hostel and Taganga very much. The view was great, the pool was nice, breakfast was good and Taganga is a nice village. We also visited the National park and Playa Grande. I travelled with my two adult daughters and this was a good choice for us.

    They leave the light on, what means in our case that we had light in the room during the night. Also the door had an open spot, so mosquitos could easily enter the room.

    Lovely staff. Great view from the swimmingpool/terrace. Quiet place and due to that a quiet sleep. Breakfast was good, also dinner.

    Nothing :))

    Very good value for money! Generelly the room and the hostel is basic but clean and lived up to my expectations. Even though I came early - they let me check in. The staff really made it a nice place to stay. It had a kind of family vibe , which I liked! Can definitely recommend this place if you need a cheap and safe place to stay.

    Wish breakfast were included but it was still a decent value & tasty meal.

    The owner & staff were WONDERFUL. Sweet, kind, patient & very helpful in helping us coordinate details of local activities. Our kids (15 & 10) had fun with the pool and our family room was very comfortable & spacious. Beautiful ocean/sunset views from patio. The hustle & noise of the beach was at a good distance so we slept well but walked in.out of town for dinners easily. Hostel puppy “Coco” was a bonus too:)

    Drug dealers at Taganga beach. Hostel is fine but no North American travelers. All European or local. I don't think there is drinking water or coffee tea without cost

    View of bay. Pool, comfortable bed with aircon and in room bathroom, sunset and deck plus small kitchen and fridge. Short walk to village but be careful on road
