Hostal tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza, con personal muy amable y una ubicación ideal frente a la playa y junto al río.
Pros:

Mi estancia en el Bob Marley Hostel en Mendihuaca fue muy agradable. El lugar está rodeado de naturaleza, con un ambiente tranquilo y relajado, perfecto para desconectarse del ruido de la ciudad. Las instalaciones son sencillas pero cómodas y limpias, y las zonas comunes invitan a descansar y compartir con otros viajeros.
El personal es muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, lo que hace que uno se sienta bienvenido desde el primer momento. Su ubicación es ideal: frente a la playa y junto al río, lo que permite disfrutar tanto del mar como de un entorno natural único. Sin duda, un lugar recomendable para quienes buscan paz, buena energía y contacto con la naturaleza.

If you enjoy the simple life, I do recommend the stay. Overall, I had a good experience
Pros:

The location is perfect—right on the beach, where you can hear the waves and truly relax. It was exactly what I needed. The owner was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful, making the experience even better. Highly recommend for if you like the simple stay

Cons:

Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but the low water pressure was inconvenient. The wooden structure and lack of ceiling between rooms made it a bit noisy, and my friend found it hard to sleep with the light and sounds from other rooms

Exceptional
Pros:

We had an unforgettable time at the Bob Marley Hostel. The owner was extremely accommodating and read our every wish from our lips. The hostel also functions as a surf school, where we were taught to surf with a lot of patience and enthusiasm.

We will definitely make another stop there on our next trip to Colombia.

A big thank you to everyone!

Poor
Pros:

Good location on the beach front and friendly staff member

Cons:

Little privacy as the walls don’t go up to the roof so all the rooms and toilets are connected. It is easy for bugs and animals to get in. During our stay we had a rodent in our room which we think lives under the bed. We saw the rodent one night in our room and the day after that we found poo on the shelves and on/under the bed. We decided to leave and talked to the employee, about getting a refund for the remaining night due to the circumstances (not the full stay). The employee refused as it was past 11am which is checkout which was a disappointing outcome considering the circumstances.
