It was very comfortable, surrounded by nature, very quiet. The food was amazing. The hostel is run by a very nice family, always super helpful!

If you are looking for luxury with air conditioning, hot showers and a receptionist in livery, you won't find it here. But probably nowhere else in La Macarena

A simple wooden house, large unglazed windows with wooden shutters and mosquito nets. Fan, comfortable clean bed. Excellent food, the best cuisine in town. The extremely helpful and pleasant owners, full of ideas for activities in the area, have become my friends and I have been coming here regularly for five years and feel at home here. The house is set in a garden at the end of the town and at the beginning of the pastures. A minute's walk from the river, which is full of fish in February. A herd of cows accompanied by barking dogs occasionally pass by the hostel. Frogs croak loudly at night and monkeys swing in the trees right above my head in the morning. I really like it that way.

Great value for the money, everything went smoothly, from picking up from the airport, through organizing tours to dropping off at the airport, very friendly staff and especially David

There’s a lot and loud dogs (friendly though) around the hostal that make it a bit more difficult to sleep from time to time The city should pave streets in this part of town aswell, it would really make this place so much more accessible.

We booked a tour to visit the Caños Cristales and were automatically put into a hotel in the center of La Macarena. There was nothing wrong with the hotel, but after three days, when the tour was done, we had foreseen a last night in Hostal Caño Nevera. A bit further away from the main center than the rest, but such a lovely natural place! Super friendly staff, ready to help and think with their guests. We liked it and would refer people who like a more homey environment to this place!

A 10min walk to the center (I liked the silence), no A/C (but a fan does it)

Very friendly familylike staff that was very helpful with tours and everything, big room, hammocks, breakfast available, quiet area, backyard beautiful

Very friendly staff who took care of all logistics, for ex, organizing tours, airport pick up/drop off, providing transportation to and from the tour. No hot water provided, but there is no need for hot water. Good local breakfast.

So friendly and attentive people, they can organise daily tours for you during several days (we stayed 4 days and each trip was beautiful, La macarena is not only caño cristales). Rooms are simple but with mosquito nets on the windows and fan (for Air conditioning you need to pay a small fee but we didn't need it as nights were fresh enough).

Eric and his dad couldn’t have been more attentive, they run a great establishment! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend this place whole heartedly

Beautiful place and next to the river, just after arrival arrangements were made so we could go out fishing the next morning. Excellent bbq's at night were the topping of a wonderful stay. It's clean and silent, yet just few minutes walking outside town. I can only recommend.

Pesky mosquitoes in outdoor areas. But that's not the accommodation's fault. They are everywhere in the region.

Simple, very modestly furnished rooms. Large windows with insect netting. Incredibly helpful and pleasant owner. Helps with everything, he can arrange things, give advice, shows how and where. I've been to the Macarena for the third time and this is the most pleasant place by far.

Everything was to our liking

The hostel is worthwhile ! Located in a calm and green area, Jorge and David are warm and helpful hosts, ready to give a helping hand or advice on activities and the region when needed. They also provide some tours in the area. Housekeeping was on point.

From the minute I arrived at the airport, Jorge and David were outstanding hosts who went above and beyond. They helped me plan all my excursions, made sure that my time was comfortable, and genuinely made me feel at home. The hostal itself is a little oasis with animals and land to explore. Breakfast was delicious. Beds were very comfortable. I wish that I could have stayed longer than the 5 nights that I did.

1. The staff didn't remind me of the chargability of breakfast and provided me with breakfast every monring, till the day when i had to settle the bill of everything and i was shockingly charged for breakfast of CAD5 every morning. 2. I reserved the tour provided by the hostel at least 1 month in advance, and yet when i arrived, i was suddenly told that the 1st day tour has been full without good reasons, and changed to another tour with an extremely difficult hike where each participant would better wear trousers to avoid any injury and mosquitos, but i wasn't told anything regarding the difficulty of hike and things to prepare, when the hostel staff told me it's simply 5km hike which sounded like an easy hike, and my legs were badly injured. The guide didn't take care of me as i followed the group, just stuck to their own pace without properly waiting till i'm alright. The most terrible tour experience ever. 3. The tours were definitely overpriced when i was told by other tour members that they joined the tour around 10-20% cheaper than what i paid. 4. The staff didn't follow up on the photos taken in Cano Cristales, and it's been 2 weeks without reply.

Noth much to like about. Overpriced in general.

we’re we’re locked out one night when we got back at 11:15pm so we had to climb over the fence to go knock on the door so that someone would let us back in. we didn’t know there was like a curfew.

we liked that it was family owned. they helped us get cabs and our excursions.
