My first hostal experience and not my last, after this reservation I booked again the very next day. Definitely would recommend, bed was comfy, water was hot enough, I like how it’s actividades to do. The food was aight, but you can cook your own meal in the comunal kitchen which was pretty wicked. Some mornings I would lounge around in the nets, with the sun beaming at me then go to the pool which was conveniently outside my room. I never did get a chance to go on the hammocks but that’s no biggie.

This place was disgusting. My shared dorm smelled like feet and old laundry. I felt like I was staying in a homeless shelter. One of the bathrooms had feces in the toilet. The couches were soiled. Never again!

This is the best hostel i have ever been to! Great customer service, special mention to Davis, he helped me with any issues or need i had, from transportation, to excursions, to food, etc... Angie was also very helpful. The design of the property is awesome! Not your bare bones hostel, this one has pools, bar, restaurant, rooftop deck with great views and also activities like dance classes! They have raised the bar for hostels for me, i don't know how i will go back to a basic hostel again. I can't wait to visit again and bring my son, family, and friends. Thank you all for an amazing time!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Masaya is great if you’re a backpacker. The shared spaces are amazing, with the two pools, the huge rooftop terrasse with its bar and many chilling spots. We booked a private room since we are a couple and that was the disappointing part. The room smelled terrible. It was very humid and you could see some mould on the curtain. The bed was comfortable but you only have a small sheet for covering. The whole thing didn’t feel very welcomy to me. On the other hand, the hostel is very well located and the people at the front desk are very helpful to guide your around. So, i guess youll love it if you backpack, maybe less if you travel with your partner and looking for a certain comfort.

Comfortable, quiet hostel in Santa Marta
Had a great time staying at this quiet hostel. Location is right in the heart of the city. Beds (in dorms) have built-in privacy curtains. Downside of this is that the curtains are vinyl and do not ventilate well (I had to leave mine open to sleep). Towels are 3,000 COP when staying in the dorms.

Hostels are a great way to meet people
Amazing people and service! Helped us book a sailboat tour to a private beach in the park. Had a salsa dancing lesson, which led to a guided Santa Marta night life experience with a local Colombian. The motor bikes are the most exciting way to get around the city!
