    We loved being part of protecting this beautiful piece of nature. We also enjoyed the massages available there and the good food and drinks. Very friendly staff!

    This is a slice of paradise. It was perfect to hear the sounds of the jungle and to birdwatch. We swam in the natural swimming pool in the river nearby which was wonderful. Bruno and his wife were very helpful in sharing ideas of the many activities we could do.

    Very nice staff and good food. Breakfast and dinner were really nice and we loved the cocktails. Everything was really clean. But above al, the location was amazing. The place is in the middle of the jungle with alot of colorful birds and fantastic surroundings. The river where you can swim (/float in dryseason) is only a minute away and is a perfect replacement for a swimming pool (but then you are all by yourself). Would definitely recommend!

    Everything! An amazing hide-away, so glad we found it! We extended our stay as we didn't want to leave. Laurence & Bruno are wonderful hosts - welcoming & helpful. All the staff are great - smiley & happy. Great vibe amongst all the team. Food is yum - lots of great options. Best breakfast in Colombia! Great music playing in the restuarant every night! Lots of hammocks & sunbeds to chill out. Great walking, hiking & running trails all around the hotel. The best bit is the river crossing on arrival - adds to the whole adventure. Loved it! Book it!

    There is not a single thing that we disliked about the experience.

    Great property in the jungle surrounded by nature and bordered by a river. Totally safe and quiet. Staff was professional, courteous, helpful and efficient. It is easy to walk across the shallow river, but if you need transportation from the main road, Bruno will provide it. If you are taking a bus to or from the location, he will also explain and help you determine how to do this. The room was amazing and unique. Very practical with bedside tables, good lighting and plenty of electrical outlets. The food in the restaurant was very good.

    Barranquero is an amazing place, the grounds are beautiful and it set next to the river amongst the trees so there is lots of nature. The staff are so lovely and helpful, always very welcoming and offering recommendations during your stay. The food in the restaurant is the best we’ve had during our trip so far and the rooms are also probably the nicest we’ve had too! It’s a super relaxing and laid back place and Laurence and Bruno have created such an awesome vibe that we hope to return soon

    The French couple who own this place are really wonderful hosts, the rooms are comfortable, food fantastic and there is plenty to do in the area including hiking trails and beaches, plus it is close to Tayrona Park entrance. The gardens are beautiful and the location is very peaceful right by the river

    So far my favorite hotel in the world, without overexaggerating. Amazing food, the kitchen made us so happy. Extremely friendly workers and owners. The Hotel is in the middle of nature, you can go to the nice river and we even saw birds and monkeys during breakfast. All in all perfect for couples to relax.

    No complaints at all. Truly, the staff was wonderfully flexible, informative, affable and attentive. The food was delicious. Dinner took awhile to be served, but I did not come all the way out to the jungle to be in a rush. The complimentary breakfast was substantial, tasty, first-rate. The hot chocolate was as good as in France!! Bruno, the owner, picked us up and drove us back and forth across the shallow rivers to and from the main highway in his Jeep, chatting with us amiably. He and his wife Laurence and the staff (Cynthia, Daniel) were all kind and accommodating. I loved it. Plus, the hikes along and across the river and to the waterfall were terrific, unspoiled nature experiences. No crowds, hardly anyone really. Just what I was looking for.

    The French owners of the Barranquero have created a laid-back, comfortable lodging and dining experience that is original, relaxed and unforgettable. The hotel is very well-designed. Our room was extremely clean, comfortable, and spacious. WiFi is excellent, especially considering how isolated the hotel is. It was a perfect place to unwind, surrounded by glorious nature and few people.

    The location was amazing, in the middle of nature with a river to swim, we walked along the riverto tayrona park. The crossing of the river was an extra fun experience, we were with two people in their 60s and they loved it. We left very early before 7 but that was no problem for the staff to bring us to the other side of the river. The staff will do everything they can to make your stay the best. The food was the best we ate in colombia, my venezuelan father in law almost cried because the sopa de lentejas was so good and reminded him of his mother. My family will never forget these special days in your hotel, thank you so much.
