An alright hostel in a good location. The pool and hostel could do with lots of fixes. The breakfast was small and never ready by 7.30 or even 8. But the rooms have air con... And if you can get the dorm at the top of the stairs the balcony overlooks the bay and the local football field. We spent... More

Bayview is a nice and clean hostel, but don't expect anything fancy. Breakfast is minimal, the pool area unattractive and the staff don't make any effort to make you feel at home. A great television room though, which is great if you want to relax after a trip to Ciudad Perdida, and a nice location right in between the beach... More

We had a walk around town to find a decent hostel and immediately liked Bay View, from the bright exterior to the huge and spotless pool and the perfect English speaking owner Santiago. Once in we got the feeling we were special, I imagine just like anyone else staying, and it felt great, especially after some of the treatment we... More

This is a good place to party. The parties on friday nights are definately worth going too. I found the owner, Santiago to be very hospitable. Above and beyond how other owners have been. The rest of the staff are very nice too. My only gripe was that the rooms were hot, and that if you have a room on... More

After reading all the past reviews which rate this as a terrible hostel I left with no complaints. Breakfast is served everyday and they even ask before you venture out for the day if u ate. There are self service storage lockers with someone always on duty. Just lock up your valuables with your own lock and no problems whatsoever.... More

I wish I had read the reviews of this hostel before staying here! Our valuables were stolen from the locked storage room by a staff member and the owner took no responsibility whatsoever, not even giving the guy´s name to the Police. He also said this has never happened before but now that I have read previous reviews of Bayview... More

Some of the things the hostel promises and completely and utterly fails to deliver: the hostel does not "include breakfast", there is none at all not even to pay for. There may be a TV room but no DVD player to play the "huge DVD library". There isn't a jukebox or video game consoles. While there is a hostel van... More

By Taganga standards, this place is top notch. The pool here deserves about a million stars, and the common area was great, but the room itself left much to be desired (and by much, I mean all). The music was deafening until 2 am, the sheets weren't super clean and didn't stay on the uncomfortable bed, and the room was... More

This place was the most horrible hostel in all of Colombia and Ecuador in our experience. Totally overpriced, noisy and uncomfortable. They don´t even give you towels! The sheets on the bed aren´t fitted, just top sheets so they slide when you are sleeping and you find yourself laying on bare yucky mattress!! DONT STAY
