Only flaw was breakfeast not included, but price was reasonable ($6.000). There is a familiar atmophere, so if you are looking for a party hostel, this is not for you.

We stayed in a Double Room with AC including private bathroom and mini balcony which was great value for the cost. The staff were very helpful and the place was really clean . The breakfast if you opt in is also fabulous and good value for the amount of food. Security was no issue here as the door was locked all the time. I would definatly stay here again. Reccommended for couples and people wanting a quieter atmosphere.

I really liked, the rooms and the building was clean and with good facilities, what i dont like was the noise make by the staff (in the reception at 2 AM had really loud music and at 7 AM the maids were talking and laughing really loud) it has a beutiful guest kitchen full of implements.

We really enjoyed our stay at Aluna. We used Aluna as a base for visiting Tayrona national park and both Patrick and Jaime were really friendly and helpful and ensured we had reliable transportation to the park and allowed us to store our luggage here whilst we were away. We stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was very clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. They also have an extensive collection of books for swap, plenty of space to unwind and the free coffee is a nice addition.

Really nice hostel but let down by 2 thing - firstly the wifi, which was not strong enough to be accessed in our room, even though our room was just about the cls¡osest one to reception, and secondly the kitchen, very badly equipped (none of the frying pans had handles for example) and no spare gas cylinder so in ran out halfway through cooking and it was 1.25 hours until the new one arrived). Otherwise nice building, nice room and very helpful staff.

This hostel feels more like a boutique hotel than a hostel. Everything is new and nicely decorated. We stayed in a double bed room ensuite and it was very inexpensive.

The hostel is very nice since it was designed by the owner who knows about traveler's needs pretty well - the colombian guy at the front desk was not very kind - he had some preferences for some customers and was very rude when one asked him for assistance - The kitchen needs a new cookware set and a bigger fridge - other than that my stay was very pleasant !!

The staff was amazing here! They always had great information, and they were very helpful. It isn´t a party hostel, but that is what I liked about it. The breakfast is a great deal for $6.000!

Its a scam that they put on hostelworld that they only have 4 bed dorms and then you turn up and are expected to sleep in a 6 bed dorm for the same price. And the staff were incredibly rude, including the manager/owner. He did begrudgingly give us our deposit back but I doubt its a nice place to stay.
