Jeny was a great host for us, and if you're nice she will teach you spanish. Hostel is nice a calm, and a great place to meet people. Definitely not a party hostel, but centrally located and clean.

I stayed for one night, and was all good. It was pretty quiet during the day, a little partying at night. The staff were all really friendly. Only down-side: you have to bring you own lock for storage and the lockers are pretty small (too small for my laptop).

Great location but facilities are really poor and bathrooms are dirty. Big tv with lots of movies is great!

There was not enough air circulation. The enviroment was very hot all the time and the A.C. only worked from 8pm to 11am...You can not stay in the hostel at day because of the heat!

The location and the staff are the best! It is right in the center of Cartagena and the staff are very nice and helpful! The common areas are also nice, with a very comfy living room, the kitchen, a computer with internet for those (like me) who travel without laptop!The rooms are basic, nothing very special, anyway my overall opinion about the hostel is good and I will come back there!

We only stayed at makako for one night, but we had a great time. Everyone at the hostel including the guests it attracts are very easy to talk to. Location is amazing!

The staff was very good and the location was excellent. There were a few travelers that slept on the couches due to unavailable beds but depending on which side of the fence you're on that could be a good or bad thing. The beds were comfy and the AC helped make the heat tolerable. My only complaint is the locker situation. They're at the front entrance and could fit just a passport and a large camera but not much else. If each bed had a locker that could fit a backpack that would be great!

Is a very nice Hostel but the dorms are very hot, you said was with air conditioning, but you put off it between 10am and 8pm, so on these hours is very, very hot the room, so I suggest to put some fans inside while you off the air conditioning or to leave it on all the day.
