The staff and owners are incredibly friendly and helpful and made our stay the best. Their cute and well-behaved animals were a big plus! The hostel is clean, the beds comfortable and the aircon great (and necessary). Delicious breakfast. Good wifi! Located in a calmer part of Santa Marta with fewer restaurants, although close to the beach. A bit noisy during the evenings due to the traffic outside. Ideal for people traveling in groups or in pairs.

Was a great stay we came back a second time. Met Jan who gave us a great tour of the city. Both Snr Felix and Jan very welcoming and great with history on Santa marta and advice. The bedroom was nice, comfortable and lots of ventilation, the bathroom was reasonably clean and the breakfast (w coffee) was a nice extra. Made Santa Marta one of my favourite cities to visit in Colombia so far! The buses to Park Tayrona were passed by 2 streets over.

My stay at Blue Dot was incredible. Even though the place is still under construction, my stay was very comfortable. The surroundings are spectacular and a perfect place to relax and unwind on the beautiful river or in one of the comfy hammocks with jungle views. I went on a nice adventure tour to one of the many waterfalls around, and can only give the highest marks for the whole experience. Besides that Daan cooked some very flavourful Vegas distes, and added smoothies of fruit that was freshly picked next to the hostel.

La ubicación. La cocina comunitaria lacks proper utensils, sauce pan and pots are ten years old or worst. No coffee maker, no knives, no tweezers, but worst af all no knives. In fact, there is only a small a couple of years old knife that somebody left. A regular 2" gas lighter is there for you to introduce the hand close to two excelent burners that burns ouir hands. Kitchen ceiling light does not work, water faucet is loose and no soap for dishes. The promoted terrace to look over the sea ys not properly suited for seating. The location is what makes this place great. however is not an experience that exceeds our expectations. Thanks!

    Great location close to the entry of Tayrona National Park. The natural springs pool (and the natural beauty of the hostel) were the highlights of my stay. Relaxing in the pool watching hummingbirds and seeing a family of monkeys the afternoon I arrived were a couple of my top memories. The older lady (owner's mom, I believe) and front desk woman were very friendly and helpful. Very quiet room and quality sleep. Happy to have been able to leave a piece of luggage there for a couple of days without additional cost.

    Victor is a very friendly host and really takes his time for his guests. The streets around are really quiet which is a big plus in Santa Marta. The breakfast is delicious and cheap, they have washing services which are also fast and cheap. It is not a not a big hostel with a lot of partying guests. Airconditioning works good and there is semi-warm water in the shower which is also a big plus im Santa Marta. The WIFI works constantly and is good enough to do video calls on.
