    We enjoyed the cozy beds and the spacious rooms, perfect for our romantic escape. the location was great, with easy access to the main square and a short distance from the bustling restaurant area by the beach. - the breakfast served daily was absolutely delicious, especially the mouthwatering pancakes.

    That the toilets could have been cleaned more frequently, with a lack of soap and full paper bins. In our room, the ceiling fans of the reception area were quite loud at night, which disturbed our sleep at times.

    The courtyard was beautiful and comfortable to hang out in. The staff and other travelers were friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was delicious and filling. The location was great, just a few blocks from the beach. The hostel had nice amenities like privacy curtains, outlets, and lights for each dorm bed, as well as a good kitchen, fast wifi. The hostel also had discounts at local restaurants and bars.

    Sometimes the music was too loud and could be heard in the rooms. The smoking area being in one of the main common areas made the room smell like smoke and was unpleasant.

    The staff, location, amenities, and cleanliness were all top-notch. The hostel's helpful and friendly staff made arranging trips a breeze. Its central location, just a few blocks from the beach, was a major plus. The rooms were clean and well-equipped with good amenities, including privacy curtains and outlets. The common areas were peaceful and provided a tranquil atmosphere. Unlimited free water refills and delicious breakfast options were also highlights.

    Almost perfect.

    the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making my stay at Bona Vida in Riohacha even better than my previous experience. From the evening bartender/manager's positive energy to the refreshing pool and well-equipped kitchen, everything resonated with me. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Riohacha.

    Slow service.

    I stayed at the amazing Bona Vida hostel for two nights and it exceeded my expectations. The dorm area has air conditioning, a separated living room with Netflix, and is physically separated from the main building, making it incredibly quiet. The facility is modern with tiled floors, a clean pool, and nice showers. There are outlets everywhere, a well-equipped kitchen, and 24-hour staff. The staff is friendly, the breakfast is delicious, and they were super accommodating with changing my tour plans. a fantastic experience.

    Couldn't recommend this place more.

    I recently stayed at Bona Vida in Riohacha for one night before my tour to Cabo de la Vela and Punta Gallinas. The central location made it a great starting point, with a storage room available for my belongings. The spacious room had a comfortable bed and a big flat TV, and the rooftop terrace provided a wonderful place to relax. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, allowing me to change my tour date and rebook my dorm night without any charges. The included breakfast was delicious and the hotel was well-organized from start to finish. Highly recommended!

    Can recommend this hotel.

    Central location, perfect for exploring surrounding areas. Clean and comfortable rooms. Rooftop terrace with bar and hammocks provides a jaw-dropping view. Breakfast choices were delicious. Dorms offer good privacy and have all necessary amenities. Staff, despite language challenges, were helpful. Great atmosphere and easy to meet people. a super hostel experience worthy of multiple visits. Five-minute walk to the beach.

    What a great value for money! The private room with its own bathroom was perfect, complete with air con and a TV with Netflix. The location was awesome, just a few blocks from the beach. The staff at Bona Vida were so helpful and friendly, providing us with all the information we needed for our tours.

    Breakfast selection could be better, but overall a fantastic stay.
