Metto 8 perché sono una persona che si adatto a tutto è ho avuto la fortuna di condividere il mio soggiorno con una ragazza conosciuta in colombia.
L ostello si trova in una Zina centrale.
Ha molto potenziale e poco utilizzato 😞
Bello lo spazio esterno e la cucina a disposizione però potrebbe essere abbellito maggiormente.
I volontari presenti erano m simpatico e disponibili. Mi hanno permesso di lasciare lo zaino per giorni nell ostello mentre io sono andata al tayrona park.
Purtroppo la pulizia non è il forte della struttura.
Una sera non sono riuscita a dormire perché il vento era talmente forte che sembrava che stesse per staccare la stanza che non dispone di finestre che si possano chiudere.

Ambiente tranquilo e o anfitrião amigável e educado, tudo saiu como eu me planejei, ate fiquei um dia a mais... o alojamento e simples porem e muito acolhedor, me sentia em casa que poderia andar descalço tranquilamente sem preocupações com nada, muito ventilado e com som da natureza, dos galos e dos pássaros. Da pra ver o por do sol da sacada de cima e a lua cheia das montanhas, eu super indico, as praias são deliciosas de desfrutar. Gostei bastante, e recomendo! ( Pelo preço valeu a pena pois não encontrei hospedagem com valor menor que tenha as comodidade, como agua para banhar, fogão para cozinhar, geladeira para guardar mantimentos, wifi e uma boa cama para dormir, então pelo valor ta otimo) ( NÃO TEM FILTRO DE ÁGUA POTÁVEL TEM QUE COMPRAR)
Poderia melhorar o wifi e manter uma higiene da geladeira, ou ter uma outra geladeira ja que tem que comprar agua e usar os galões grandes. Fora isso gostei de tudo!

Simpática y ayuda del personal del hostel muy amable
La habitación estaba sucia, con polvo, cucarachas y ratones dentro de la habitación Somos acostumbrados a los hosteles baratos pero los cucarachas caminan en nuestras camas durante la noche.

Das Personal ist super nett und freundlich. Gute Ausstattung.
Hostel ein bisschen runtergekommen. Die Betten quietschen übertrieben viel. Die Etagenbetten sind sehr labil und man spürt jeder Bewegung der anderen Person. Unmöglich zu schlafen.

La chambre privée était très correct et spacieuse
Les fenêtres qui ne pouvaient pas fermer complètement, on était donc réveillés tôt le matin par les coqs et la musique à fond dès 5h.. Changer les fenêtres seraient vraiment bien !

Beds are comfortable
It's a bit too rustic like an abandoned house and the bathrooms smell. They could improve common areas

7.0 / 10.0
Great location and the staff were so friendly.
Good vibe and atmosphere in communal areas and bar was cheap.
The bedrooms are so hot at night, no a/c just a couple of fans and it was not a good night sleep unfortunately.
Could also do with more toilets

8.0 / 10.0
Super economical and basic. The staff are the stars here. Friendly and tranquil vibe. Attentive to your comfort
Noisy neighbors music on blast from every direction all thru the weekend. Not the owners fault this is typical every beach town.
The 420 winds are chronic, but It's a party friendly Hostel so has its share of characters
9.0 / 10.0
Location was good, a 5 minute walk to the beach. Staff were great, outside area was great. We didn't use the kitchen as it was cheap enough to eat out. We used the bar as we weren't allowed to bring our own alcohol in but the beer was cheap enough.
My mattress was uncomfortable but my husbands was ok. A very poor area.
3.0 / 10.0
The staff and volunteers were nice. Good lockers.
I love a bargain hostel but this was just too far for me. Rooms and beds looked worse than squatters digs, I didn't dare look too closely at the mattress and pillow...very old and brown. Theres a walk to the the only bathroom outside which isn't covered so you get soaked in the rain. Kitchen area is small and everyone goes in there when in rains so no space to cook or relax. I've seen much worse kitchen and bathrooms but the whole hostel seemed grimey, tired or broken. No windows and rooms are road facing so slept very bad due to the load motorbikes and dam cockerel! I didn't feel comfortable there for some reason, felt very self conscious of my belongings. Didn't get my change at check in. You can get much better accommodation in the area at the same price or a little more .

Facilites are basic but everything is pretty clean and nice, very chill and good atmosphere and staff are great
The upstairs room had lots of noise from outside at night, maybe it was just because it was some kind of holiday that day

8.0 / 10.0
Very friendly staff! The kitchen is nice and big and the laundry facility is not expensive. The staff were always super friendly and helpful to talk to. There is a bar in the hostel where you can buy drinks and water and the social area is big. The location is away from the busiest and loudest streets in the town which is a positive, as it's still close enough to walk to the lively parts.
Nothing, very good hostel for the money.
