Absolutely lovely and helpful hosts, including their two little ones. :-) Great location close to the seaside, main town square and popular hangout streets and squares. I would have stayed a lot longer if I had time.

Lukas and Holly were amazing hosts. I really enjoyed my stay and their hospitality. Thanks so much for your help, you are very great people with interesting children as well. Best wishes from Max and Kevin ✌🏼

Nice, clean, modern and cute hostel :-D. The owners are very nice. If you book here, they will send you a lot of helpfull information about the things you can do in and around Santa Marta. They will also explain more if you have questions. They have a nice and friendly dog. Their two kids are adorable. The location is perfect, super close to everything!

The owner of the hostel is super friendly. We stayed only for a night and the service was perfect. They have 24h reception service and they are very familiar.

The owners are incredibly nice people. I felt really comfortable. Everything was really clean, the dorm room is very nice. It's a very small and quiet hostel. I've never felt so safe about my stuff in any hostal - you can leave your phone charging and go have a shower without worrying it might get stolen. They also make coffee in the morning for free. Thank you very much!
The best place we’ve stayed so far in Colombia :-) Extremely friendly and helpful host family, cozy room in a good size and fine location.

The owners are incredibly sweet. They gave us many tips about what to do and how to do it. They are really helpful and they know the city very well ! We had a tiny cute room and enough space for 2 people in our private room. A/C works well.

Good location, nice and helpful staff! I totally recommend it

Very good position in the center of the town. Comfortable bed, and good wifi. The envirovment of the hostel is perfect to rest and prepare yourself for trekking or go to the beach. Juan the hoster, is really kindly and give you the best advice to know.

Everything was amazing, the room, the hosts were the best part!! They’re really kind and very helpful. We would love to go back and stay there
