I absolutely loved my stay here. There's a lot of common space, from the rooftop, the pool, the shaded area with the hammocks, the large kitchen and dining area to the couches. Juliano is a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful and so is Emil who works at night. I stayed in a 4-bed dorm room which was rather small, but very clean and had A/C at night.

We booked for three nights originally but ended up staying five as it was such a fantastic hostel. The spaces were clean and well designed - we loved hanging out by the pool on the hammocks. It was also the perfect location for day trips to Minca and the national park, all made easier by Juliano’s extensive knowledge of the area. All the staff were super friendly and made us feel like we were home away from home. Can not recommend highly enough.

I decided to stay in Taganga instead of Santa Marta to visit Minca and do some scuba diving. This hostel was brilliant. Clean, great location, nice pool and very secure. The owner was incredibly helpful with organizing tours and scuba diving from the hostel, and super knowledgeable about the region when it can to giving advice. I highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Taganga!

Probably the most beautiful hostel I ever stayed in, great (actually clean!) kitchen and communal area where you can hang out and meet people. Julian in the reception is the best, helped with booking dives, ordering food to the hostel and just generally giving tips! Emil the night guard is so nice and would walk you places at night if you were alone. Best hostel of my 5 months of traveling, stay here!

We had an amazing time in this hostel and really enjoyed the stay! It was the perfect choice while doing our open water divers, as it was calm but not boring at all! A great place to meet people, relax in the hammocks, chill in the pool or to cook a meal in the evening. The stuff is super friendly and helps out in every situation :) The hostel itself was perfectly equipped and always well cleaned. A great place to come home after a day at the beach or under water ;) We totally recommend it and would definitely stay here again! :)

We had an amazing experience, walking distance to the local restaurants and main streets, also to the trail to the next beach, Giuliano the owner of the hostel was super helpful, arranged all the transportation, tours, prices, security. The place has hammocks, pool and the service was incredible! We really appreciated it.

I came to Taganga to do my open water diving license and stayed for three nights in Hostal Palohe. It's hard to find anything what could be improved. The hostel is the cleanest hostel I've been to in Colombia, even the beds in the dorms are made every day. There is an outside kitchen which is even better equipped than my own in kitchen back home and very clean as well. Furthermore, the whole common are around the kitchen and the pool is really nice as well and made with love. Decoration is so pretty! It's visible that the owner was thinking about what his guests would appreciate and that he as well as his staff love their work. Everybody is so nice and helpful (Giuliano gave me really helpful tipps while choosing my diving school) and the owner even took me in his car back to my hostel in Santa Marta. Haven't tried the breakfast but looked good to and there is free coffee the whole day. As the hostel isn't to big it's easy to socialize as well, perfect for solo travelers! Many thanks to the whole team!

We had a very warm welcome in the hostel when we arrived, all the staff was so very helpfull and always on for a chat. We felt like home! The hostal is new, so the rooms are perfectly clean, the common area is very well designed and organised. The hostal is perfectly located, just 5 min walk from the busy beach area.. The owners invited us several times to eat with them which was REALLY pleasant , they were lovely! We DEFININITELY recommend a stay in this beautiful place!

If you want tranquility the Palohe Hostel is for you while being close to the promenade. Often the music is deafening and the center is very busy. In the Hostel you can make your own meals the kitchen is well set up. But the best thing is that Taganga is the best place to make trips to see the beautiful beaches that definitely deserve to be seen. the staff is very friendly and helpful. Recommended
