Reviewed Sep 8, 2026The entire team is warm and welcoming, and the receptionist went completely above and beyond for us—even organizing express laundry at 9 pm with no fuss at all. We also booked our tour to Cabo de la Vela and Punta Gallinas directly through the hostel, which made planning seamless. If you're heading into La Guajira, this is the perfect place to start. Highly recommended!
Nothing at all—everything exceeded our expectations.

Reviewed May 26, 2026Le concept de l'auberge avec plusieurs espaces pour se poser. La piscine, même si elle n'est pas grande, elle permet de se rafraîchir car il fait chaud à Riohacha. La gentillesse du personnel. La décoration Les chats qui sont très bavards si on prend le temps de leur répondre 😊 La wifi fonctionne bien. Les casiers dans le dortoir suffisamment grand pour ranger les sacs. Il n'y avait donc pas de bazar. Il y a également des casiers qui peuvent être fermés avec votre cadenas.
