I was worried we would be too remote from the hub in Minca to really enjoy the area, especially after experiencing the road up to the hostel, but I was wrong. Everything we needed was right there. We were more than happy to hike to all the things we wanted to see but you could just as easily take a moto or 4x4.
The food was great. The people were even better. We really didn’t want to leave.

The staff at the hostel was courteous and helpful and some were English speaking. The hostel included a casual beach front restaurant that served excellent meals that were fresh and delicious and included several vegetarian options.

10/10, for sure the best hostel we had in a 10 month trip! Amazing friendly staff, great rooftop with good food and drink options, but still peaceful at night. Small pool is great to cool off!
I just loved this hostel. It was by far the best hostel we’ve stayed in South America on our 3 month trip. The room was amazing and felt like a luxurious hotel (we were in the private bedroom with a balcony). We have started to dread the free hostel breakfasts on our trip but this one was amazing as it wasn’t buffet style, we could order off the menu. The food and drinks prices were really reasonable considering you couldn’t buy your food from anywhere else! I would highly recommend adding this hostel to your Columbia itinerary.
Great location, walking distance everywhere through busy streets - it felt safe around the hostel even at night. Rooms have AC and beds are comfy. Pool area is very cool, the vibes in general are great and quiet from evening time. It also has breakfast inc wich is great for the price!
Very good value for money! Generelly the room and the hostel is basic but clean and lived up to my expectations. Even though I came early - they let me check in. The staff really made it a nice place to stay. It had a kind of family vibe , which I liked! Can definitely recommend this place if you need a cheap and safe place to stay.
Amazing location, nice hostel, hostel keepers where super nice and told us where to go and its cheap. Best hostel I have been to so far. Big recommendation for everyone visiting Minca.
Great location,great staff and roof top bar on top of hostel with cheap beer...the best hostel where l stay in Colombia
