Séjour de 4 jours

Situé dans le centre, tout est accessible ( resto, bar, marché, ..). Joli petit jardin pour se relaxer. Proposition d’activités (rafting, parapente et autres) facilitant les réservations sans surcoût. Calme et ambiance sympathique.

Un ventilateur au plafond aurait été apprécié car sans climatisation. Le ventilateur sur pied est un peu bruyant.

Excellent sociable, and friendly hostel

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel was sociable but quiet as soon at it hit 10pm. Very respectful environment and great facilities and location.The paragliding we booked through them was also excellent. Small group and we felt very looked after,

Overrated place

Staff are very friendly. They even allow me to use their facilities once I check out.

1. Their windows have only shutters. It is very noisy at night especially people are still chatting outside in the middle of the night. I could not even fall asleep one night because of the noise coming from outside. Apparently there is no quiet hours here and the staff would not stop people from chatting. 2. The kitchen is okay, but the flame does not go up very well and it takes forever to boil your water.

Sociable hostel with superb local knowledge and friendly staff

I can’t recommend this hostel enough. Easily the best one I’ve stayed in so far. It feels very homely and is really sociable so it’s great for solo travellers. The front desk arranges adventure activities which makes meeting other people from the hostel even easier and the staff have an enormous amount of local knowledge and are more than willing to help. The group activities on evenings through the week are great too - Tejo Tuesdays were a particular highlight! Shaun (I hope I spelled your name right!) is a really helpful and friendly owner, going above and beyond for his guests. I think I’ll struggle to find a hostel that is anywhere near as good value for money as Macondo - go and stay there!

None!

Adventurous week in the Chicamocha Canyon!

The hostel provides a great introduction to San Gil on arrival. They helped us book various excursions, provided recommendations for restaurants and provided space for us to hand-wash our laundry. When you book with the hostel and the weather conditions cancel the activity, the hostel can very easily switch to another activity so you don't lose the day. There were even times that the staff moved our hanging laundry into the shade when it started raining. I would recommend Macondo hostel to anyone that is coming to San Gil for some adventure! P.s. They have hot water!

Beds weren't the most comfortable, very firm, especially after a long day of activity... I think this is more of a personal preference.

Exceptional

I stayed in a private room and it was the cleanest and most comfortable one I've had so far during my 2 week trip through Colombia. What I appreciated a lot was also the clean, fresh smell. Lots of places have scent diffusers which are awfully overbearing. This place didn't, which I was really grateful for.

One of the best hostels I've been to, the staff helps with everything - all info, booking tickets, you can book all the adventures like rafting, paragliding the day before and they organize everything. The bed was comfortable. The hostel is very social so great if you're traveling alone. And a hot jacuzzi in the evening is a plus :)

Would be great to have a drinking water dispenser instead of buying bottled water at the reception

Very good

Easy to communicate with the staff to book tours etc

Our room was one of two positioned behind the kitchen used by all guests. It was open from 7am until 11pm. Unfortunately this meant that all noise from talking, music, moving chairs around, etc was CLEARLY heard from our room. This could have easily been mitigated by 1) fixing the door behind the kitchen to close properly as the latch was not there allowing the door to swing open 2) install a solid core door instead of the cheap hollow core closet door to our room and reduce the large gap at the bottom to the floor.

Perfect location, the employees are super friendly and help you with any kind of question. The place is really quiet and if you wanna book any type of activity you can do it via them (cheap prices aswell). Would highly recommend this place! It is super close to all the good restaurants and the main square :)

great location, extremely friendly & insanely helpful Staff, very clean/well equipped accommodation

It was by far the best hostal I stayed in during my 2 month backpacking trip through Colombia. Apart from the fantastic location and the extremely friendly and insanely helpful crew, the hostal offered enough space and was sufficiently equipped to, for example, hang up wet things (e.g. towel/swimwear, etc.), store the backpack and clothes well and each bed, had a bedside table with power socket and lamp. Things you learn to appreciate when you´re travel around within the Colombian hostal world. I also really like the fact that there are very friendly notes everywhere to raise ecological awareness. The crew is by far the friendliest I have ever met and responsibly and trustworthily while helping to plan tours in the area and get to know San Gil. All tips and assistance have always been a complete success and was always really economical. Super warm thanks to the great team and the fantastic hostal, which with great attention to detail made the stay in San Gil unforgettable. Many greetings

It’s a minor thing but the mattress was hard. I didn’t sleep that well.

The best hostel I've stayed in Colombia

I was extremely sorry that I couldn't stay longer. The staff, including the owner were very friendly and welcoming. They were very helpful giving me directions of where to go and the timetable to it. I used to buy a beer at night just to stay at the reception talking. The garden was amazing and the jacuzzi was beyond perfection.
