Just WOW. The location is magical - road is through the jungle crossing several streams and rivers, I spotted some special birds on the way already. The hostel is gorgeous with unique view of the hills and forest, spent the afternoon staring at the view and effortlessly spotting birds. The cabinis wonderful for nature bathing,mosquito nets worked well, good facilities. Nice food, beautiful pool and common areas. Great food and coffee plus - they seem to support and promote local community which is wonderful. Absolutely loved this place and recommend it to everyone looking for a wonderful time in nature.

We were welcomed with very good service; they immediately showed us to our room, explained the rules. The room had everything we needed and a lovely balcony. Breakfast was good. The best part is its location—you don’t have to walk from the bus like you do with other hotels. We usually don’t use pools, but this one looked clean, and we liked it. Plus, they helped us with directions to other places.

A lovely peaceful escape in nature with very warm and kind hosts! The food they cook is exceptional and good value. The building is rustic and looks like a treehouse. You have a view to the nearby river that you can swim in and the forest and hills behind. They even have a jaccuzzi and very friendly pets. The guests I met were calm and had some nice chats together. I was able to leave my luggage as I stayed overnight in Tayrona Park for a small cost. Would definitely stay again and can recommend!

I was expecting a room in a large building. It was my own little hut with my own patio and private bathroom. I can't explain how beautiful this place is. The cooks whip up your food to order. All the staff were always smiling and amazing. The pool was perfect after being out in the heat all day. I honestly can't recommend enough!!

The dorm room and bathroom were so clean, considering people are coming from beaches and still. The restaurant had delicious food. The location is the best to hail buses to Tayrona, Santa Marta and other beaches in the area right at the doorstep. Want to thank the friendly staff who suggested me to go to Cocos beach which was so much fun.

Definitely recommended to come here and connect with nature - as the place is located between a beautiful, not crowded beach and the jungle which you can see from the rooms. The place and the people working there are exceptional. Maria, Jose and the staff in general were super kind and helpful in every situation. Everything was just perfect: great facilities, incredibly comfy bed, delicious breakfast and the cutest kittens!

    The atmosphere in this place is amazing, really relaxed and chill staff and guests. The food and the drinks delicious and affordable! The pool clean and refreshing. Sleeping in a cabin basically outside was such a cool experience, felt safe and exciting, would recommend! Definitely the best hostel we have been out of all 10 during one month in Colombia.

    Apart from the road to get there everything is AMAZING about this hostel! Couldn’t recommend it more. One of the, if not thé, best hostel I’ve stayed in. Beautiful (outdoor!!) rooms, a big area to wander around and get lost in and such a good place to meet people. The vibe was completely right!

    The location is amazing!! So beautiful, with views of the jungle and the hills. There is múltiple places to chill, including pool, bath, net, swing and chairs. The food is amazing, definitely best hostel food I've ever had!! Its close enough to tayrona, el zaino entrance to walk (about 35 mins) plus some of it through the jungle which is beautiful. The staff were great, lots of volunteers who also speak English. We stayed in the hobbit room, outside shower and comfortable space.

Thank you Origen for a night full of Colombia Guajira Magic.

    Calm and refreshing place to chill near the jungle, early in the morning you can even see some monkeys ! The hosts are so nice, and will help you with everything. The bed was comfy, the sound of the rivier and the nature to fall a sleep. The food from the host is really good, and cheap. The rivier down the hostel is really good for swimming or chilling on the rock. There are some waterfall to visit and Tayrona entrance (El Zaino) is really close

    The view from the room was beautiful, we could see some animals during the day and night, the hostel is good for meeting new people from around the world as they propose a variety of common areas, the food they sell is pretty tasty as well. In general it has a good location if you plan to visit the Tayrona Park.
