Perfect place to relax while in Santa Marta

Room was spacy, amenities were simple but effective. It definitely is more of a hostel geared towards a younger crowd who like to have fun.... so don't always expect to it to be quiet. Nevertheless, really well-run place and great location for a Santa Marta stopover especially if you're looking to travel further north to Parque Tayrona, etc. The staff there are well-informed and always helpful. Gabriel, Jesus and Carlos (at the bar) were always approachable and helpful.

Chunuu Hostal y Glamping MINCA

HOSTAL Y GLAMPING; CONFORT EN MEDIO DE LA NATURALEZA. una experiencia única, al lado del rio Minca y en las estribaciones de la sierra nevada

Nice place in Minca

Reviewed By danielgordon3004

The location is lovely and the deluxe rooms very comfortable. The pool is a reasonable side and a lovely location next to the river. There are a ton of insects as to be expected, especially at night. The reception staff were lovely! Bar staff friendly too but rather disinterested. Got My food wrong three times in a row, to the point I just didn’t eat it. Overall though, a nice place in minca around 15 minutes from the centre.

Reviewed By Stefanutz

The fan and the air conditioning (which was not possible to turn off) in my room was extremely loud. Felt like I'm sleeping with a diesel generator next to my head and of course I couldn't sleep all night. Someone in the room told me that he stayed there before and it was the same, so the hostel must be aware of this, yet it continues cashing in on that room. It's like renting a bike knowing that it has a flat tire. Because this the most expensive hostel in town, I find it very upsetting, especially for the night of lost sleep. Also, the room is very dark and the bathroom continuously smells like feces, because of the ventilation shaft.

So Noisy and Not Comfortable

Reviewed By 644tuncerk

Me and my friend booked 2 seperate rooms for 3 nights. Unfortunately the 1. Day of our hostel experience we couldnt sleep because of the Staff. All the night they played billiard and laughed around of the swimming pool. And the 2. Night the some of the guests run in the hostel and listened high music i didnt have to listen their music and nobady warned them. And the last day of us wanted to help for airport shuttle . But they wanted get some comission in taxi and put extra money (1. Day they said 40.000 cop 3. Day 45.000 cop) and they try to get more comissions on daily tours too. You can go all the places by taxi cheaper than hostel. Generally the staffs of reception and kitchen are polita but i can not for everybody ! I can not reccommend this place. How they could get so many 5* points i can not believe!

Aluna Hostel B&B

Kind

Reviewed By sadeeyor

When you are poorly, come here, beyond the cathedral. It's not a fancy hostel, but people will take care of you. Which happened to me after rampants diarrhoeoa. The girl fully made sure I was ok, mopped up my brown with no thing after from asks to call the hospital three times. I kept assuring her I was ok, as I crawled back to bed. I emerged weak. Just a ceviche wich processed the wrong way with vinegar. These things normally don't happen. When they did, she was concern. Next day, I was drained yet fine. Well, well enough to enjoy meeting my friend somewhere else in Colombia again. When you travel and inopportune things happen, that simple no fuss sure-you're-ok attitude is lovely.
