I stayed here for five days to see Taganga and the local area. The good: - Casa de Felipe seems to be the hostel that most backpackers head to. It attracts a good mix of people and always seems to be busy. - The food is amazing. They have a french chef who cooks lunch and dinner and while the... More

One of my favourite hostels in Colombia, Casa de Felipe is a wide open terrace with water fountains, hammocks, deck chairs and an open roof where you can get a great view of the coastline. They also have a great selection of movies, a chilled out tv room (with a fan) and two great cafés that serve great food and... More

This place is huge, but it still has a chilled vibe. Nice clean rooms (both dorms and privates). Lots of places to relax, hammocks everywhere, central courtyard to socialise, rooftop terrace to chill and check out the views. Nice food (if a little pricy). Helpful staff. A little bit of a walk from the main part of town, but only... More

This was the best hostel I stayed at in Colombia. Very clean, well kept and with a friendly and helpful staff. There is a staffed info desk that can provide information on everything there is to do in the area. The kitchen makes great food and juices, and the patio area has loads of seating and hammocks for plenty of... More

We stayed here for a total of six nights in two different rooms. This because we did the Cuidad Perdida trek in between! We liked both of the rooms and we payed 65000 pesos per night for two persons which we think was good for this place! We cooked our own food in the shared kitchen which was not that... More

We stayed in a private room with private bathroom for 65000 pesos per night not including breakfast although you can pay extra for this. The room was clean and was serviced daily. We had a fan which worked well although we found it a little noisy. There was a nice breeze but the windows aren't screened so we did find... More

The room is pretty basic, but it is clean. I arrived without any reservations and the hostel was full, so I was assigned a room outside the hostel, and you could see that there was not too much movement or cleaning going on... (HUGE spider in the ceiling kept me nervous). At the next day I got the chance to... More

We enjoyed our short stay here. Our double room was basic, clean, comfortable and well ventilated. The staff were friendly and professional. The french food good and very pleasant to sit under the trees on the wide patios and eat, drink and socialise. The distance from the beach is a handicap. A great base for exploring tayrona parque nacional and... More

This was for me the most relaxing place in Colombia. The ambiance is really good, no party hostel, every dorm has its own toilet and bath room, enough place and hammocks to relax and easy to meet nice travelers. The french chef serves really great food and the bar makes nice juices.
