It's in the jungle, the walk there it's an adventure by itself, still not hard at all. 20 to 30 minutes walk to the Zaino entrance of the Tayrona park, 30 minutes by bus to Santa Marta, 10 minutes to Poza encanto entrance and Mandiguaca beach from the mean entrance of the hostel by bus, 15 minutes by bus to El Rio Guachaca entrance if you want to visit the hidden waterfalls of El Saltillo. Staff are very friendly, funny and lovely people. Food is good, I don't drink cocktails, but I saw many drinking cocktail after another. I was traveling alone and expected to be alone the whole trip, but I met a lot of travelers from different countries in it and spent my whole trip with them even after leaving the hostel to explore the Tayrona park we stayed together. The great ambient there made it possible for me and others to share the trip in group. I CAN'T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH, GO THERE AND SEE YOURSELF.

Totally everything! That magical place is the most beautiful place , its a real paradise. The views from all of the parts of this hotel is something breathtaking .The host was super friendly,kind and he helped to us with everything. With the information about the places about the transport and he always tried to helped us with everything what we needed. Our “cabaña” was tidy, nice decorated and with the small jacuzzi . Also they have there swimming pool what they always care about so is clean. You can also make an order for the dinner and they will prepare it for you :) and of course also breakfast. Drinking morning coffee from that place hits different ☀️ I fully recommend this place 10/10

We were welcomed with very good service; they immediately showed us to our room, explained the rules. The room had everything we needed and a lovely balcony. Breakfast was good. The best part is its location—you don’t have to walk from the bus like you do with other hotels. We usually don’t use pools, but this one looked clean, and we liked it. Plus, they helped us with directions to other places.

stayed here for two nights, in order to visit Tayrona National Park for a full day. if you come here by public bus i recommend to get off at "Plaza Tayrona" and walk 10min to the hostel. it is a quiet, peaceful little hostel next to the river (swimming is possible). good wifi, good mosquito net, hammock, common areas, cold water shower. a tienda is nearby. more food options are walking distance along the mainstreet. we did a big hike in Tayrona NP (about 17km / 10.5miles): left the hostel around 8AM, went by short bus-ride to Calabazo entrance (Bus around 3K / community fee 5K / entrance fee depends on your nationality). walked all the way to Cabo beach, then exit in the afternoon at Cañaveral gate (shuttle to Zaino 5K) and walked back to the hostel. saw different types of monkeys along the way (including red howler).

The atmosphere in this place is amazing, really relaxed and chill staff and guests. The food and the drinks delicious and affordable! The pool clean and refreshing. Sleeping in a cabin basically outside was such a cool experience, felt safe and exciting, would recommend! Definitely the best hostel we have been out of all 10 during one month in Colombia.

Apart from the road to get there everything is AMAZING about this hostel! Couldn’t recommend it more. One of the, if not thé, best hostel I’ve stayed in. Beautiful (outdoor!!) rooms, a big area to wander around and get lost in and such a good place to meet people. The vibe was completely right!

The location is amazing!! So beautiful, with views of the jungle and the hills. There is múltiple places to chill, including pool, bath, net, swing and chairs. The food is amazing, definitely best hostel food I've ever had!! Its close enough to tayrona, el zaino entrance to walk (about 35 mins) plus some of it through the jungle which is beautiful. The staff were great, lots of volunteers who also speak English. We stayed in the hobbit room, outside shower and comfortable space.

I'm into everything, it is the best hostel in Colombia and the world, the arrival is idyllic, it is a place with immense serenity and beauty, which allows you to appreciate nature at its best, the food is an ambrosia and the family that owns this paradise on earth is really charming. Thank you Origen for a night full of Colombia Guajira Magic.

Calm and refreshing place to chill near the jungle, early in the morning you can even see some monkeys ! The hosts are so nice, and will help you with everything. The bed was comfy, the sound of the rivier and the nature to fall a sleep. The food from the host is really good, and cheap. The rivier down the hostel is really good for swimming or chilling on the rock. There are some waterfall to visit and Tayrona entrance (El Zaino) is really close

The view from the room was beautiful, we could see some animals during the day and night, the hostel is good for meeting new people from around the world as they propose a variety of common areas, the food they sell is pretty tasty as well. In general it has a good location if you plan to visit the Tayrona Park.
