La Tortuga Hostel Reviews

Ok we can't talk highly enough of the hostel, the hospitality was incredible, if I could've stayed there for longer I would've done it in a heartbeat. It is by far the best place to stay in Taganga, and Monica is the nicest host you could ever hope to get.

Hostel itself was great with a gorgeous view of the Caribbean sea and mountains, very clean snd friendly, helpful staff!!. however, the locals are extremely noisy, the neighborhood is filled with roosters, parrots and dogs that tend to make noise throughout the night, ear plugs recommended to get some decent nights rest

We spent 1 night in this hostel before going to Tayrona. We wanted to stay another night when we returned, but unfortunatly, they were booked. The hostel is great. Mona, the owner, is very helpful and has a warm personality. When we were there, Mona organised a small party on the rooftop bar for the evening including a band. Real good evening! Only downsite are the neighbours who start blasting their music out in the street early morning (way before 8), but this is in all Taganga.

Look good but the pool is made out of plastic, the rooms walls has a gup to the siling for air is good but also for moskitos, there are eants all over the kitchen even when it's clean, there is only cold water in the showers, no option for some thing else the same at all the hostels in towne, and the only computer is not included in the price. Good for one night , during the day there's too much music, birds and dogs noise from the neighbors, and some times also at night.

Some of the staff had no knowledge of diving options and prices. Facilities are good and well maintained, kitchen was good. A bit far from the beach.

Great bar and great staff. A slightly crazy guy across the road tends to blast music til all hours but otherwise all good.

Its an adequate place to stay for a couple of days but nothing to write home about. Some improvements could be made to make the bar and pool (blow up) a bit nicer, such as not making everything concrete everywhere, its not very atmospheric. Dorm was very small but it was clean. Kitchen looked fine, i didn't use it tho. The location isn't great, it feels a bit dodgy walking back there at night. Nothing drastic to complain about, but there are nicer places if you can find them.

Nice hostel a litte away from centre but not too far. Private room was lovely and very clean but the kitchen was a real let down it was really dirty. Staff were helpful but the security was a bit much, having to be accompanied to your room each time you returned and no keys...a little strange.

Very nice chill out place, no partyhostel at the time we travelled. But that you'll get in town, no worries! Love the hammocs and the sunset from the roof top bar!
