Different things like leaders, room doors opened, etc.

I would like to have privacy in the room.

The music was too loud for our taste. It was more of a party hostel at all than what we were going for. The kitchen was big, but there were barely any plates/pans/cutting boards/ etc.

Beds were very chill and spacious and with the temperatures in Cartagena, a pool was great too, even if it's not that big. Nice garden to hang out in and great location in the old town. Hostel also has fun activities like a pub crawl, only we didn't get to join that.

The room smelled like humid, and the bathroom inside could have an upgrade

The stuff is nice and kind, there's a pretty exterior common area, and the location is quite good, 5 min walk to Torre del Reloj

The rooms do not lock! All rooms are left with the door open at all times. Sharing a room with six people is one thing, but being in a room where everyone in a hostel (or the city for that matter, since they never checked my wristband as I was entering) has access to is a different story. Nothing bad happened but I just wasn't very comfortable sleeping, knowing that anyone could enter at any point without a key. (There is actually an option to lock the room only from the inside, but obviously that does not work, since other people staying there would need to come in). On a similar note, their luggage storage also does not lock and the door is left wide open all day so everyone can come in and out and nobody checks. Definitely did not feel safe leaving valuables there before check in and after check out. AC is only on from 8.30 pm to 9 am, even though they charge extra for rooms with AC. This means that there is no place to cool down during the day. They should have at least a paid option to have the AC on in the room during the day Bathrooms were an issue as well. The bathroom attached to our room (shared between two rooms) was not great. They did not even provide soap for the sink, the showers did not really drain very well so there was always water on the floor, there is no place to hang your towel or clothes, there were tons of ants going up and down the shower wall and overall, was not pleasant, which was unfortunate in a city so hot that you want to shower multiple times per day. I also did see a cockroach walking around the patio. There are more bathrooms close to the pool but again, not great. Overall, I had a perfectly pleasant stay but if the other people staying in the hostel do not end up being as lovely as my hostel-mates were, it could be a different story. The overall lack of locked rooms and the bathroom situations would be enough reason for me to find a different hostel next time I am there.

The location is perfect! In the heart of Getsemani with tons of restaurants, bars and street food options. Convenient for uber pickup and drop off. Walking distance (=-10 minutes) to both the walled city and the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas. Exactly where you want to be staying. Breakfast was nice with eggs, arepas or toast, and fruit and juice. Portions could be bigger but it was free, freshly made, hot breakfast so a great way to start the day. Just note that you sign up and they make it for you on the spot so it is a 10-15 minutes wait. This is not a complaint at all, just a note so everyone can plan their morning accordingly The room had big lockers (for which you need your own lock) and was clean. The temperature of the AC room was perfect (definitely spend the extra dollars for AC, trust me you need it), curtains on the bed give a ssense of privacy, there is an outlet right next to the bed. The patio is also lovely with a small swimming pool and sitting space. Wifi was perfect. Stuff was nice as well. Loved the hostel cat!

I did not like one of the women in my Dorm she was Chilena. She complained about almost everyone in the dorm and they were stupid complaints. She acted like she was entitled. It was not Medial Luna s fault I just happen to get stuck with her in that dorm opposite her bunk. However there were a lot of other cool people in the dorm. She also verbally abused me and gave me the finger while and when I was eating my Carne especial peacefully at the church square with my friend. I wrote about here in a previous review while at Media Luna. Management admonished her about her behavior in the dorm but unfortunately for me I ran into here after I moved to another hostel and she berated me for telling the truth in the review. So I guess her behavior confirmed what I already knew. Call her a Chilenian Karen.

Great place to meet backpackers. The pool was great and breakfast was good and I met a Finnish lady who was the most energetic and coolest dancer that I have ever hung out with.

Be aware the cheapest room has no AC, I mean they have one but they asked everyone living in the room 10$ more if we wanted the aircon turn on.

No mosquito nests and no sealed windows so I got eaten alive 😂

Hostel was in a great location and the Breakfast was nice!

Its a party hostel, and they dont really say this in the info. I had to wake up early for a flight. And the lady at the frontdest promised me to wake me up at 3.30 so i didnt have to put an allarm in the dowm. She forgot to wake me up and I slept trough and missed my flight.

Great location, nice swimmingpool, pizza restaurant with discount from hostel.

One of the persons I shared the dorm with was a constant complainer about everything. e.g. too loud, my computer too bright for her to sleep.

Nice place to meet fellow travelers. The pool was a life saver during the mid day humid heat.

There was mold in the pillow.

Staff was nice, shout out to Kevin for the cocktails.

Not much to say about this, maybe if the pool would be available alit bit longer that'd be great...

This is such a nice place for a fair price. Shared rooms are spacious, beds are ok and lockers have a lot of space. The pool is available most of the day and there is a bar too.... the included breakfast is ok. The staff was kind and very helpful.

Stayed in October 2023

Music was played at a volume way over what was necessary all day with no quiet areas, even when there only 2/3 people by the pool. Breakfast wasn’t great Could get hostels closer to the center for the same price The bar/club is not in use and neither is the rooftop

Plenty of room in kitchen Friendly staff Pool table

Stayed in August 2023

We had ants all over our beds, but after pointing it out we got taken to a new room immediately. The hostel itself didn’t seem very social, so maybe not best for solo travelers.

The hostel itself is really nice. The pool was nice, so was the breakfast. The location is a little outside of the town, but still really good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bedrooms seem a little outdated but were actually quite comfortable. The air condition worked well too.

Stayed in August 2023

You have loud music all the time. The climate is really hot. The fans don't work properly so it is really difficult to get to sleep at such hot temperatures. The air conditioners are too small for such spaces. They only turn them on after 9pm, but it is too hot that you came feeling it around 4am

The location is great. The staff is really helpful.

Stayed in August 2023

Air con was off until about 2am one night and just isn’t strong enough to fill the big rooms with cold air. Sink areas were pretty grim and full of cockroaches at night.

Pool was nice and air con in rooms appreciated.

Stayed in June 2023

the clients of the hostel were very dirty, everywhere, the hostel should give more reccomendations and restrictions forcing people to be clean.. AC as to be regulated in order not to be too cold, if you ask they do it friendly.

The place that is safe, the staff working was very available and very kind. the breakfast with fresh food and variety. Free wifi working so well. Kitchen very fournished to prepare your meals. Very very confortable beds and space in the dormitories. at a small distance from bars, restaurants, shops and a very good situation near the historic center

Stayed in July 2023

It's forbidden to drink your own beer/alcohol on the territory of hotel and alcohol of the hotel is crazy expensive.. That definitely destroys the vibe inside because people just go out to hang out at night and in the end there is not much socializing because there is no people in the evenings in the hotel.

Breakfast was really nice with 5 options to choose, I loved it ;) also. Ping pong table and discount for the pizzeria for the clients of hotel

The kitchen isn't great. Very few pots/plates and stuff. Struggled to make ramen.

The rooms had Aircon through out the night which was nice. The breakfast was good too.

Got very sick from breakfast the second day, diarrhea and vomiting. Most staff was super inattentive. You'd ask them a question, they didn't know but promise to find out in 10 minutes. Half an hour later, I went by again but they'd forgotten. This happened twice. And sometimes while they're talking to you, they start doing other random stuff such as talk to other people. Some staff was very good though.

Much space in beds, location is perfect.
