This is an ok hostel. Some of e staff are very friendly some are not..the rooms have fans and they get super hot. O if you don't t like hot room you will probably hate to stay here. There is a room next to the kitchen that looked like the worst room to have as it gets a lot of noise. The top rooms by the bar could get very loud.

This was the best hostel experience I had, and all for the low cost of 25,000 pesos (about $13/night). The sheets were clean, the pool was clean, the rooms were clean. There is an electric fan for each bed. There was access to a full restaurant menu and a full bar menu. There's a POOL TABLE! Very short walk to the beach. I lucked out, as did a few other people: the 4-bed rooms were filled so we got the 2-bed rooms at a better price. The staff was very conscious and placed me with another girl.

Four bed dorm was spacious with decent bathroom. Very nice pool. Internet access all over was fast with computers available with headsets. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very nice breakfast. Location is good- far enough away from all the bars on the waterfront to be quiet but still only a short walk. Hostel has a nice balcony up at the bar.

Nice hostel located short walk from the waterfront. The pool surrounded by hammocks makes for a really relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant has some decent options and the bar tender whips up tasty blended drinks. The lower rating is reflective of the burglary that occurred during our stay there (luckily it did not involve our room), but it was not a surprise considering the surrounding community. The staff is very helpful with providing information on trips and transportation.

Amazing hostel, staff were amazing, beautiful pool and the food and drink from the bar is very good. The hostel is more like a boutique hotel just with dorms, highly recommend.

The staff was truly incredible, I was soaked after a boat back from Tayrona and they let me use their employee showers before my flight. They go above and beyond and the place is very nice as well.

I stayed in Divanga in March 2013 and it was the nicest hostel we stayed in during our trip in Colombia. There is a Hotel and a Hostel and we stayed in both during what was supposed to be a 4 night stay in Taganga (we ended staying 10 days). Lucie and her son couldn't have been more helpful.We were met at the door on arrival, the staff are friendly, the food and facilities are great and its very clean. I can't wait to visit in the future. Thanks to all the Divanga staff.

A beautiful hostel run by the lovely Lucie and her son. This was my favorite hostel in all of South America. The facilities are great - lovely rooms, a nice relaxing pool area and a fantastic bar and restaurant - the food is amazing. I would recommend staying at least 5 days here - our stay was too short.

We had a very nice 6 night stay at these hostel, which is more like a hotel than a hostel. In this time we stayed in 4 different rooms and each of them was clean, with good funcional fans and privacy. The owner, a french woman, is very very friendly and helpfull, the crew as well. They serve delicious food and drinks, and you can relax at the pool or on the roof top bar. We would recommend this place for an easy and happiness stay!

We have been in Divanga three times and will return. All is made with a good taste.Safe Divanga is small enough to be cosy and big enough to have all you need for to rest comfortably. Healthy breakfast, refreshing pool,suitable for children and good view over the village.Personnel is friendly and there is information and internet available to help you plan your travel.Young travelers seems to be the majority in Divanga,but we can warmly recommend it also for mature travelers, like us
