Viajero Tayrona Hostel & Ecohabs

This hostel is nice. Cool pool and right on the beach. Lots of activities planned too. However…..the bar by the pool plays really REALLY loud music from about noon and as we stayed the Friday night in a dorm - banging music with some serious base until 2am! Yes two in morning! 🙄🙄. Couldn’t sleep. Wouldn’t have stayed here knowing this.

The room are clean, AC is working fine, a lot of outside space, nice big pool and dj music on friday/saturday. The staff is very helpful. Tayrona park a 20 minutes bus ride from the hostel. Very nice stay if you want to visit both tayrona park and than move to palomino.

The hostal is very beautiful, located in a perfect location. I really liked the pool, and the views of the beach. The people here are really nice, and it’s a great place to make new friends. thanks to Miguel and Estrella for helping the process of checking in and changing beds.

I had such a great time at this viajero. It's very social and picturesque place. All the workers were lovely and very helpful, but especially Miguel and Estrella in reception. Me and my friends did surfing on our last day and it was a great place to learn as a beginner.

This hostel is stunning. The location is incredible. There are multiple cafes and restaurants on-site (there is not a kitchen to cook in however). Also, the way that the dorms are set up really warrant a great atmosphere for meeting people. Everything opens up into a main courtyard-like area that has the main bar, volleyball court, beach, and pool. Additionally, there are multiple events that go on daily that help introduce you to people. (I played volleyball everyday at 4 pm in a tournament and my team won each day so we got a free cocktail). There is also a surf school on site. They have lots of boards to rent. Unfortunately, mother nature didn't want me surfing while I was there because there were zero waves. The main negative about this hostel is the terrible wifi. They even have a place that is considered the "coworking space" and the wifi is completely unreliable. For this hostel being a place that fosters and caters to digital nomads, this is completely unacceptable. The dorms were fantastic. They are cubby style with a thick curtain for privacy. You have your own private light and wall outlet as well as a locker for your things. I got a dorm with A/C which is VERY necessary with the weather. The other cool part about the dorm was the private outdoor shower. A very nice touch to be able to shower under the stars at night. The only other comment I would say (and spoke with the gentleman at the desk about), is the reliability of the plan for the day. Because there are so many things/event allotted in the day, people expect that they are going to happen. Multiple times they would say "x is going to happen at this space at this time" and something would change, go wrong, etc. The staff at the front explained that the person who coordinated all of the events etc had just left. Honestly, you could tell. If they had a reliable person to fill that roll, this hostel would be incredible. This place has insane potential to be truly incredible. All the ingredients are there. As someone who has worked in hospitality before, it was disheartening to see small things that could be tweaked by good management to really make it a very special place. I know Viajero has a reputation and has many fanatastic locations in numerous countries. I hope this location can sort their staffing out to reach full potential. As long as you don't need to get work done/are tied to wifi, I would certainly recommend this hostel!

Bad...really bad....they lie and aren't honest with the guests. The rooms have no wifi or air conditioning!! ***! The food isn't that great! And on top of all that we canceled two nights because or Fan kept breaking down and its been a month and no refund yet!! Thiefs! I contact them every week and they say our accountant is on it, but nothing happens....please get them our of business they well ruin your vacation. STAY AWAY.
