    The hostel is simply perfect, so if you’re ever in Leticia, I highly recommend it to everyone. The team is incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure you have an unforgettable stay. They offer great tips and organize amazing, unique tours. The cocktails are hands down the best in town, and the owner is a truly talented tattoo artist. Everything is spotless, and the garden, with its cozy seating areas and great music, is the perfect place to relax and feel at home. All in all, it’s just a wonderful place to stay!:)

    A wonderfully cozy space with both indoor and outdoor common areas perfect for relaxing and socializing. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming and the staff are so helpful and friendly. The hostel is conveniently located near the airport and just a short tuk-tuk ride from town. I really appreciated Jonathan’s efforts to use the hostel as a platform to provide opportunities and education for locals while fostering a community of musically cultured (no reggaeton here!) and environmentally conscious individuals.

    about the only thing is, is that it is a bit off center. for me no big deal, as i wanted to have a rest and it's a shirt tuktuk ride. there is a school next to it, which can be quite noisy during daytime, but i rather found it funny and i was mostly there during the weekend anyway

    it's a neatly decorated place run by amazing people. the social area in the garden is perfect to chill out and it has a clean and well equipt kitchen. the operate a bar for drinks ans fresh juices. breakfast is also fine and comes with a tasty juice. jonathan also connected me and an other traveller with a maguta guide to visit his community and stay in the jungle. for me it was about the perfect stay after comming down the amazonas on slow boats

    Jonathan and Jamila are building something special here. Their contact with the community living in the jungle is inspirational. Jonathan traveled himself for 9 years, and you feel that in everything in the hostel. Do yourself a favor and stay in this place.

    Not applicable. Rarely have I seen a perfect hostel like this run with a spirit of integrity.

    Excellent property, fabulous central, tastefully decorated. The external sit out makes you feel like a resort at the price of a hostel. This hostel is run by a swiss couple Yanina and john (I hope I got the names right), who have hearts of gold. They run it in an eco friendly way while supporting local indigenous communities and persons with disabilities by hiring them and treating them with utmost dignity and respect as part of their family. The rooms and hostel beds are super comfortable with an attached bathroom to each room, and also separate bathrooms to give ample number of bathrooms in case there are more guests. You will feel like you are in a Homestay with a family - yet have the opportunity to meet fellow hostellers and exchange travel notes! Go for it!

    I stayed in various hostels during my time in the Amazon and Nomada was my favourite by far. I stayed for a couple of nights at the start of my trip, and returned there when I was in Leticia, which was my base for visiting Puerto Nariño and Iquitos. I met lots of interesting, fun, kind people at Nomada, across both fellow guests and the staff team. The hostel is only a year or so old, run by an indigenous family and Colombian friends. Together they create a uniquely welcoming atmosphere. The dorm is basic but comfortable, and there are good amenities - a functional kitchen, free coffee in the mornings, free drinking water, a fast laundry service. Their beers and cocktails are very affordable. José and Romel organised a group meal in the garden one evening, which was super fun and cheap, and on another night made hot chocolate con queso for everyone. The vibe is sociable without being super loud/party-party-party. They are also starting to offer tours of the local area, and when I needed to arrange a short overnight tour close to Leticia, the team put something together for me in a beautiful location that worked well. One bit of advice for solo women travellers - the place is in a quiet corner of Leticia and I recommend getting motorcycle taxis or tuktuks into the town centre (which cost no more than 6,000 COP), as on my first day I was groped by a passing motorcyclist when walking into town in broad daylight. However the team will call you a tuktuk and once I started doing that, going into town and back was unstressful. Across the time I spent at Nomada, there were one or two avoidable misunderstandings, but it all worked out in the end and overall my trip was definitely better for happening to book there. Stay there if you can, it's really cute! And make sure you chat to the lovely staff - you will learn a lot about Leticia, the communities, and la selva from them.

    Some people may feel that this property is a little bit far from Leticia. Personally, I really enjoyed the walk. It takes about 20 minutes at an average pace but it’s nice to walk through the communities on the way. I also felt very safe walking after sunset. You can also get a moto taxi for like 6K COP.

    The family that run the hostel are lovely. You are essentially a guest in their home, but it doesn’t feel over-crowded or intrusive - which is lovely, especially if you are travelling for a long time away from home. The house is nice and I slept very well. It is kept very clean and the garden is lovely. There is a decent kitchen.

    even though they have mosquito nets on the outside doors, they don't close them in the evenings. I guess it might be hard to enforce this. But sometimes the lobby has many mosquitos. Not cool in the Amazon with all those diseases. A good solution would be self closing (a bit tilted) mosquito net doors.

    From the 2 month trip that I am having I think this hostel was the most exceptional from all the places I stayed for money 💚. The garden is a very good place to meet other travellers and share stories. I met a few amazing adventurers, even went to a local Uitoto tribe for 10days with one. And its because this hostel. Besides that Johnathan is a very good host, always helps out, is very warm and knows activities. Also love that there's always a pure drinkable water canister. Not all other places have it
