The staff and owners are incredibly friendly and helpful and made our stay the best. Their cute and well-behaved animals were a big plus! The hostel is clean, the beds comfortable and the aircon great (and necessary). Delicious breakfast. Good wifi! Located in a calmer part of Santa Marta with fewer restaurants, although close to the beach. A bit noisy during the evenings due to the traffic outside. Ideal for people traveling in groups or in pairs.

Blue dot is not just a hostel. Its a magical place, where you instantly feel at home, surrounded by forest everywhere you look. There is an incredible river 5 min from the hostel to refresh and connect with nature. Delicious vegan food made with love, dogs to cuddle and super comfy beds. Its an adventure to get there, but totally worth it!

The house is located a reasonable walking distance from the road where the buses run and about ten minutes from the entrance to Tayrona Park. The house is located in a very quiet area, ideal for resting with a beautiful garden and hammocks available. The room and the house in general were very clean. The bedding was very comfortable (mattress much less firm than what you can usually find in Colombia). We did not meet the host but Rafael who welcomed us was very pleasant and available

What an amazing experience, somewhere between Hostel and Homestay. The location is quiet and off the beaten path, yet barely a 5 minute walk to the main beach. I was welcomed in by name at the door (there were no other guests expected to check in that night). I was working while there and would be regularly offered whatever juice of the moment the family was making, ginger tea, to join then for lunch, etc. they wee understanding that I was working for many hours throughout the day and offered me a personal fan, moved a table around and whatnot to accomodate offering me an outdoor workspace even though there was one in my room. The place was spotless and the private room I upgraded to had four pillows on the bed, I hadn't been so comfortable in all my weeks in Columbia! The hammocks and chill space was perfectly spacious, with a quiet option on the rear balcony away from others with a view of the mountains. The hosts set me up with a local guide Pocho for a swim and fishing walkabout through the mountains, he was a naturopath and offered a massage and treating my injured knee. The whole experience was a blessing. The restaurant suggestion was so spot on that I went there for every dinner and wish that there was such a well priced option in the other cities I visited. Im so grateful my AirBNB fell through and that I landed here instead!!
