My first hostal experience and not my last, after this reservation I booked again the very next day. Definitely would recommend, bed was comfy, water was hot enough, I like how it’s actividades to do. The food was aight, but you can cook your own meal in the comunal kitchen which was pretty wicked. Some mornings I would lounge around in the nets, with the sun beaming at me then go to the pool which was conveniently outside my room. I never did get a chance to go on the hammocks but that’s no biggie.

This place was disgusting. My shared dorm smelled like feet and old laundry. I felt like I was staying in a homeless shelter. One of the bathrooms had feces in the toilet. The couches were soiled. Never again!

This is the best hostel i have ever been to! Great customer service, special mention to Davis, he helped me with any issues or need i had, from transportation, to excursions, to food, etc... Angie was also very helpful. The design of the property is awesome! Not your bare bones hostel, this one has pools, bar, restaurant, rooftop deck with great views and also activities like dance classes! They have raised the bar for hostels for me, i don't know how i will go back to a basic hostel again. I can't wait to visit again and bring my son, family, and friends. Thank you all for an amazing time!

Masaya is great if you’re a backpacker. The shared spaces are amazing, with the two pools, the huge rooftop terrasse with its bar and many chilling spots.
We booked a private room since we are a couple and that was the disappointing part. The room smelled terrible. It was very humid and you could see some mould on the curtain. The bed was comfortable but you only have a small sheet for covering. The whole thing didn’t feel very welcomy to me.
On the other hand, the hostel is very well located and the people at the front desk are very helpful to guide your around.
So, i guess youll love it if you backpack, maybe less if you travel with your partner and looking for a certain comfort.

Had a great time staying at this quiet hostel. Location is right in the heart of the city. Beds (in dorms) have built-in privacy curtains. Downside of this is that the curtains are vinyl and do not ventilate well (I had to leave mine open to sleep). Towels are 3,000 COP when staying in the dorms.

Great central location with helpful staff and exciting nightly planned activities for guests. Two pools and a lively game/lounge rooftop. Beautiful city views and accomondations. They will also help plan city excursions as well.

Amazing people and service! Helped us book a sailboat tour to a private beach in the park. Had a salsa dancing lesson, which led to a guided Santa Marta night life experience with a local Colombian. The motor bikes are the most exciting way to get around the city!

We really enjoyed our stay! Breakfast was delicious, but it took a while for the air conditioner to cool the room down.

This hostel had the vibe of a high end hotel! Our private room was big and clean, and the bed was super comfortable. The pools were cool and clean, and the rooftop bar was a great place to hang out and have a beer or a cocktail in the evenings and watch the sun set over the town. We liked it so much the first night we were there that we came back for more!

This property was pretty underwhelming. It was clean with beautiful architecture but that’s about it. The indoor pool was A clean good sized dip pool. The roof top pool was the opposite filthy and even smaller. The staff were quite nice and helpful which made a difference. The food and bar is ok. Drinks are a little on the pricey side and the food was fine but nothing The location was OK, central Santa Marta for sure but kind of the dodgy end of a street. I never felt unsafe but the area was a little funny (not in a good way) with interesting characters constantly floating about day or night.
I’ve been told this is one of the best hostels in Santa Marta. I only stayed here during my time so I can’t compare but if that’s the case than I guess I was lucky - but I did expect more from my overall experience here.

Rooftop pool. That says something. This place is hip and Santa Marta is a great hub for a lot of activity (Lost City treks, visits to Tayrona). A little sketchy (I got mugged a couple blocks from the hotel). But not nearly as sketchy as Taganga. Some great restaurants in town, too (just stick to the pedestrian streets).

We only stayed only one night as our main goal was having a place to stay before heading to Tayrona the next morning. The hostel is super cute. Funky rooms, very modern and clean, two pools to swim in. The rooftop area is a nice bonus - great place to swim, eat, or just hang out. No complains - would definitely recommend.
