Reviews from visitors:
We rented the whole place over airbnb. But the landlord was checking on us multiple times, every day. You are not allowed to do that as an airbnb host. They also wanted extra money for visitors. The hosts were friendly in the beginning but it was clearly acting, in the end say were terrible hosts, angry and discussing everything. We got a few old towels that smelled like cat piss (yes there are cats everywhere, nothing for alergic people). Cold and old showers. Very thin walls, xou hear everything. Way too many rules, not recommenable for a relaxed vacation. Do not go there.
Very bad. unfriendly and the opposite of relaxed hosts. Also a bit far off from everything. Only cold water showers. Charge you for everything extra.
Really nice hostel with clean rooms and great pool area! Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Just don't eat at the restaurant. Food is awful, bland and thrown on the plate without a care. AND it's not by any means cheap. This was the burgers specifically but I'm sure the rest of the food is of a similar standard.
Really nice place, the only thing is that is a little bit further from the centre. It has a really big breakfast, very clean, big rooms with aircon! Spacious chillout space with hammocks and pool. Big kitchen. Good quality for good money! Only a lady at the reception could be nicer ;)
Avoid at all cost. Staff are rude, wifi is poor.
I was given mustard despite telling staff I was allergic when I complained they told me that I was lucky I didnt get charged for this meal. This place is a joke. They cross contaminate all foods so if you suffer from any allergies you cannot eat here.
Also the area so somewhat unsafe we could hear gunshots at night and the hostel looked more like a prison with bars over every window and thick metal doors that get padlocked shut at night so you cannot leave after a certain time.
Much better places to stay in santa marta
