We stayed 3 nights. The staff was great and really helpful. They also gave us a free ride to the El Zaino entrance of the Tayrona park.The enviornment of the hostal is really beautiful, set in the nature, so it really feels very relaxing. The breakfast and the dinner at the restaurant were very tasty :) on the last day after check out, they let us stay in the hostal and still take advantage of the pool and beautiful facilities for relaxing.

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The rooms were nice and clean. Kitchen was well equipped. Its just a 15min walk to the El Zaino entrance and the bus stopps right infront the door - so its a perfect stay before the Park. You can also leave your luggage in a locker there. Would 100% recommend..

Rey and Yeimiz the couple running this place are absolute divine souls. Their positiv attitude and deep gratefulness for the living experience are truly inspiring. The energy of this place is just magic. Rey offers Shiatsu and other bodywork therapies. The location is right at the beach with this part of the town being a perfect mix between something happening and still being super relaxed and quiet. I felt like part of the family and town after just a few days <3

My favourite place to stay in Colombia. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, especially Joyanita. The surf instructor Christian was amazing, knew the spot really well and was very helpful with picking the waves. The dorms were comfortable and clean. 10/10 place, vibe was unmatched, would come back here in a heartbeat.

All hostels in El Zaino

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The atmosphere in this place is amazing, really relaxed and chill staff and guests. The food and the drinks delicious and affordable! The pool clean and refreshing. Sleeping in a cabin basically outside was such a cool experience, felt safe and exciting, would recommend! Definitely the best hostel we have been out of all 10 during one month in Colombia.

    Apart from the road to get there everything is AMAZING about this hostel! Couldn’t recommend it more. One of the, if not thé, best hostel I’ve stayed in. Beautiful (outdoor!!) rooms, a big area to wander around and get lost in and such a good place to meet people. The vibe was completely right!

    The location is amazing!! So beautiful, with views of the jungle and the hills. There is múltiple places to chill, including pool, bath, net, swing and chairs. The food is amazing, definitely best hostel food I've ever had!! Its close enough to tayrona, el zaino entrance to walk (about 35 mins) plus some of it through the jungle which is beautiful. The staff were great, lots of volunteers who also speak English. We stayed in the hobbit room, outside shower and comfortable space.

    I'm into everything, it is the best hostel in Colombia and the world, the arrival is idyllic, it is a place with immense serenity and beauty, which allows you to appreciate nature at its best, the food is an ambrosia and the family that owns this paradise on earth is really charming. Thank you Origen for a night full of Colombia Guajira Magic.

    Calm and refreshing place to chill near the jungle, early in the morning you can even see some monkeys ! The hosts are so nice, and will help you with everything. The bed was comfy, the sound of the rivier and the nature to fall a sleep. The food from the host is really good, and cheap. The rivier down the hostel is really good for swimming or chilling on the rock. There are some waterfall to visit and Tayrona entrance (El Zaino) is really close

    The view from the room was beautiful, we could see some animals during the day and night, the hostel is good for meeting new people from around the world as they propose a variety of common areas, the food they sell is pretty tasty as well. In general it has a good location if you plan to visit the Tayrona Park.

    In itself being close to the beach (20 min walk) it’s a bonus, the actual tent was really spacious and we left our bags and phones charging there and nothing went missing which we felt safe for. Shower and toilets were working. There was plenty of security and staff to watch over your things. The restaurant was not cheap but really good quality food and drinks. Breakfast was delicious.
