The property was new and nicely decorated. The outdoor patio/bar was really nice. The hosts, Pilar and Jorge treated us like family and it was a very nice environment to relax. The beach was very close and so were some restaurants and grocery stores. Large, comfy bed in the room with air conditioning, as well as a balcony.

This hostel is amazing. I went there after reading the reviews, and they don't lie. It's a magical place in the middle of the jungle, super relaxing, with a river and waterfalls nearby. You wake up in the morning to the sounds of the rainforest animals. It's the best place to relax. There are also lots of activities to do. Daan, the host, makes you feel at home, he's super smart, we had some great conversations. He wants to share his values in this place with his guests. The food is excellent. It's just perfect. And the motorcycle ride to get there is worth it in itself.

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

If you want to stay in Taganga, this is a great location and great value. The hosts are extremely welcoming and kind. They let me check in in the morning after the night I had reserved and allowed me to sleep as much as I wanted. They cooked a complimentary lunch for all the guests. They organized a boat tour for the quests the following day. It felt more like staying with family than a hostel!
