We enjoyed our stay at the Viajero hostal we stayed in one of the cabins, it was very nice. The staff were friendly, the food was good. I would suggest this place to anyone who enjoys living. If you want peace and quiet, this is not the place to go. This hotel is full of people enjoying life and having fun.
Would definitely come back to this place. The service is excellent, Pablo from the front desk went above and beyond to make our stay incredible. The wifi isn't great but then again you want to stay in a place like this to disconnect!
Loved how many options there were to enjoy the hostel and area. Tayrona park, surfing, hammocks, lots of activities, it was a great visit.
It’s quite the party place though and even with a private suite away from the bar the music plays until 3 am. There’s no escaping it.
The property is huge with a restaurant and a pizza resto, bar, yoga, workspace and beach space. The staff are fairly organized but the cleaning staff are awesome and keep everything very clean, outdoor and in you room. The location is not near anything walkable and the walk from reception to the beach is a fairly long walk. Staff do not really introduce you to the property so it’s on your to figure it out yourself. Less of an organized hostel vibe then other Viajeros. You don’t really know who’s the volunteers are at the hostel. I’d go for the beach, get away from people and somewhat the vibes.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
La chambre était remplie de moustiques (au moins une trentaine !! ) les moustiquaires des fenêtres sont toutes classées et pas de moustiquaire au dessus du lit. Punaises de lit avec des centaines de piqures
The hostel is very unique. It had a really cool design to it and we enjoyed the beach and the pool. Staff was very nice. However for the price, wifi connection was very slow and only available in certain areas. And in our room the bed was very hard and the bathroom was open to outside so we were finding way too many ants and spiders in our room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
The problem I had with this hostel is that they had false advertising on their website. I booked a females only dorm from the photos they advertised. When I arrived it was absolutely not that room. When I inquired the front desk told me they only have one of those and it was coed. She also agreed it’s all sabotage. The women’s only dorm is a very old and smelled like mildew. The bathroom looked like it wasn’t cleaned in days. The rest of the hostel was nice. Food was good. Nice bar area and options. Good cheap massage for 30$.
Muy buena estadía. Menú del Restaurant poco variado pero algunos platos bien buenos. Excelente el ceviche.
Muy bueno para descanso y habitaciones con todos los servicios. Es un poco más que un simple Hostal.
Excelente servicio y actitud de todas las personas, tanto los de servicios generales, cocina, staff y por su puesto, los viajeros voluntarios. Nuestra estadía fue perfecta de principio a fin. Ya estamos planeando nuestro próximo viaje. Para mejorar: cobertura de wifi, variedad de snacks y jugos o bebidas en la playa
Las instalaciones son divinas y la comida deliciosa, el staff es grandioso, muy amable y servicial. Son embargo el aseo en general deja mucho que desear, las camas estaban sucias y desatendidas, los baños y duchas sucias y durante todo el tiempo que estuve, si estado no cambió, eso es triste. A parte del aseo, todo fue grandioso.
La playa es hermosa. Es un Hostal muy buen organizado, con mucho diseño una piscina lindisima y la playa espectacular. Nos quedamos en los Ecohabs y son definitivamente hermosos.

Would not stay here again.
The hotel bungalow itself was very nice for the price. The hotel bar (on the beach) sucked. The bartender had a limited assortment of liquors. The bartender at the pool/beach bar was unable to make a mojito. In general, excluding at the front desk, service was poor. The beach was dirty and unappealing.
