The heartwarming welcome that the entire team gave to my partner and me. This attitude continued during our entire stay and I can't stress enough how much we appreciated their genuine interest and care for our wellbeing and for providing us with a truly unforgettable stay. Diana and her colleagues are incredible people and I sincerely hope that we will have the opportunity to visit their extraordinary hotel again one day. The place is an oasis of hospitality, our room was spacious, impeccably clean and comfortable with a great private shower and an incredible bed. The food that the restaurant offers is very tasty and carefully prepared. I loved every single second of our 3 days stay!

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.

Blue dot is not just a hostel. Its a magical place, where you instantly feel at home, surrounded by forest everywhere you look. There is an incredible river 5 min from the hostel to refresh and connect with nature. Delicious vegan food made with love, dogs to cuddle and super comfy beds. Its an adventure to get there, but totally worth it!

I loved the 3 bed dorm, which was clean and had towels free of charge. Watched the sunset from right outside the hostel and went for a walk to the further beach which was so magical. What a beautiful location. I left early to get to tyrona work and kindly the host made me breakfast early. What a fab hostel and beautiful dreamy location. I want to go back, one night was not enough.

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.
