    If there had been many more people, the shower and bathrooms would have been insufficient.

    The location is great. Looks like it used to be a family-owned apartment and since there were no other guests, it was like having a whole house to ourselves.

    The door to the washroom adjacent to the dorm is broken and makes a lot of noise when people are trying to close it. Needs fixing.

    Shared kitchen. Privacy curtain on dorm bed. Outlet and light by each bed. Excellent location. Very clean.

    It would be better if there was another shower, but the hostel was not full when I was there, so I had no problem taking a shower everytime I wanted to.

    Clean, comfortable hostel perfect to have a nice rest. It is also well located close to the beach and different atms. Small light and sockets next to the bed and lockers underneath. Nice kitchen too.

    There was only one shared shower, which would not be enough if the hostel was full.

    Comfortable dorm beds with privacy thanks to the cubicle. Vey close to the square and the beach, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Friendly staff. We were able to leave our backpacks here during our tour to the desert.

    Jose is an awesome stand up guy. Very helpful, as is his brother Jesus. The hostel is close to the beach, but not so close that the music will keep you up. The rooms are air conditioned, there is a light and plug in each bunk with a blind for privacy. I've been here many times, and will continue coming back. ✌🏼

    Our room didnt have a window, so the air gets quite bad easily and our bedroom smelled a bit. The looks of the bathroom dont work properly.

    Price value very good. The staff is very friendly and they helped us so much with our flight. Great location right next to the beach. Kitchen was well equiped and had everything we needed. Free drinking water which gets exchanged perfectly on time.

    No social vibe, the kitchen was very stuffy and could do with air con too

    Very chill hostel. Small but clean and modern. Good kitchen facilities. Free purified water. Large dorm room. Comfortable beds and good air con. Close to the seafront . Owners were friendly but sort of only hung around if they needed so was nicer not to feel constantly under supervision which often happens. They kindly allowed me to store my backpack whilst I went to Cabo de la vela

    It was a really good place to stay for Riohacha! A couple little improvements to make it even more amazing would be to have a small bedside table / reading lamp, and a shower mat, so we wouldn't have to get the floor wet after a shower.

    Our hosts Jose & his brother Jesus were great. They were very helpful throughout our stay, responsive by WhatsApp for information and help on booking tours & transits to /from airport or bus terminals. Jose's English is really good, so this was helpful when we struggled in Spanish. We stayed 6 nights which was a sufficient amount of time in Riohacha, to see Cabo de la Vela and get a feel for the town. The location was really good, steps away from the beach and near everything needed - grocery store, pharmacy, ATMs, restaurants. We booked the private room with en-suite bathroom, which is a 1 bed apartment with small lounge with sofa and table, which can be used as a desk. The rooms are not overlooked so its private and quiet most of the week bar Saturday, when there is some street noise until late. There is no balcony, but there is a small corner view of the sea from the bedroom window. The bed was large and very comfortable., and the space very generous size, also very comfortable - with a nice large wardrobe to hang and organise our things so we could feel more at home. We appreciated having a small kitchenette with sink and gas hob to make our own coffee in the mornings. A shared fridge is also available in the reception area to use., as is a convenient drinking water refill dispenser. There is also a small hand-wash laundry room with drying line. The AC and Wifi both worked really well, and it was good to have a fan in the living area to help distribute the bedroom AC. Our room was cleaned once during our stay, with fresh towels and the hand/body soap topped up. We appreciated that there was sufficient amount of soap available to use. The property doesn't have hot water showers, but we got used to it, as it was hot in Riohacha in October. We did see one cockroach on our 1st night (which can be common in tropical climates)but Jose dealt with it straightaway and it didn't happen again the rest of our time there.

    Overall the property is nice for a short stay but the facilities are not really comfortable, the shower is really slow

    The property is located at the heart of Rioacha and close to the beach (less than 2min).

    The guy at the reception didnt make us feel welcome at all. The bathroom smelled and the shower wasnt convenient. Didn't look as clean and new as in the pictures. We booked for more nights but canceled after the first.
