Franklin and the rest of the staff. So friendly and helpful. This is a very interesting place, stuck onto the side of the mountain with a stunning view, including the skyline of Santa Marta in the distance at night. Breathtaking.

The service from the staff was great, the bungaloo was very comfortable (with hot water, totally unexpected), the views are unbeatable and is very easy to locate and move from there to the little town (10 mins walk)

Really loved the location, the view is amazing, the smell of the forest, waking up to bird symphonies in the morning. Awesome sunsets. Unique location and concept hanging on a cliff. Really lovely family working in the restaurant, very kind and attentive.

Minca Ecohabs is Awesome! I have stayed at several places in Minca over the years and this place takes the cake! Location is unbeatable. You feel completely isolated but are only a few minutes walk from town. The view is incredible, the staff is super friendly and the rooms are impeccably clean. If it is available definitely request the Colibrí Ecohab!

The room had amazing views and was very spacious. They had hot water! We had a great time watching the sunset and hanging on our balcony for much of the time. It was a great place to stay in Minca.

The hostel has a great reception! They are nice people. You can buy food by delivery if you arrive late and if you are tired. The view at the night and morning is beautiful and relaxing. At the morning you can see several birds around in the trees. The breakfast is very good! And the place has a beautiful view of the mountains and sea. If you don't want to walk to much, you can ask to the people there and they call for moto to transport you to the place that you want to visit. It is highly recommended!!

We stayed in rooms located on the house with 4 accommodations... there is not actually division on the top of the house so you can hear everything between rooms. Likely not an issue in the bigger individual huts.
View and location of the rooms on the hill... from the restaurant at breakfast there is a beautiful view of Santa Marta. Waking up with all the sounds from the forest is quite an experience.

“Don’t stay here if you’re looking for rest”
- • Couple

- • Stayed 1 night

When we arrived, we loved the setting of the cabins in the middle of nature. The cabins don’t have any windows, only moskito nets, which we thought was a nice touch with all the nightlife outside. However, when we went to bed, we realised that it meant that you could hear all the noise from the nearby road to Santa Marta. Even worse, we were woken up by a group of people at 4AM who were partying right next to the hotel with loud salsa music. It was impossible to sleep. No one from the hotel was reachable. What could have been a nice experience was completely spoilt by this. Would not stay here again.
Located outside of tourist trap Minca, simple but nice cabins. Friendly staff.

No hot water and the walls between the rooms are very thin so you can hear conversations very easily. Unfortunately our neighbors were also smoking weed throughout the day/night and as there are mosquito nets as windows, we were unable to block out the smell.
Great location, feels like you’re in the middle of the bush yet a 5 min walk to town. Bed was comfy, good mosquito net for sleeping.

To be honest, it's a shame when hotels don't treat you like proper guests because you're not paying enough per night. We booked 2 standard rooms at about $50 per night. Very very basic rooms, (no closets, hangar space or anything). All other rooms had hot water, except for ours. When we asked the receptionist Lucas to help us with the hot water situation, he told us that standard rooms don't have the privilege of having hot water... especially because we booked through Booking.com.... What? Very friendly up front, attentive, but then zero effort on behalf of the staff to accommodate their guests' needs. As soon as we upgraded to the bigger Ecohab rooms, paying double, almost $100 per room per night, they finally started giving us the attention and care that any guest deserves... And hot water... Great. We stayed four nights and half the time we didn't even have running water! Or electricity! Imagine if it was an ecological hotel with it's own power source and rain catchment system, that wouldn't have been an issue at all! Lucas was kind enough to book us a $120 tour to drive around in a 4x4 1980 something Chevy with a non-local guide from Armenia and not Minca. Really nice guy, but didn't know anything about where we were or what we were doing really. Took us to Los Pinos at midday when the heat and condensation of the jungle had already covered up all the views... Very nice guy though, happy to have made friends. Although Ecohabs is a lovely location surrounded by forest and beautiful views, the rooms are perched above a highway, so don't be surprised if you're woken up at 8am in the morning thinking that a semi truck is about to roll over your room, that's just the traffic below. Lovely, waking up to the sounds of birds in the morning, but sadly ruined by trucks and motorcycles running by below.
Really loved the location, the view is amazing, the smell of the forest, waking up to bird symphonies in the morning. Awesome sunsets. Unique location and concept hanging on a cliff. Really lovely family working in the restaurant, very kind and attentive.

No fan of any description in the room meaning you never escape the heat and sleeping at night have been quite uncomfortable.
Location of the Ecohabs is fantastic- short walk into the centre of Minca to reach bars and restaurants. The staff have been incredibly helpful and friendly. View from the room is amazing!
