Honteux
Pros:

Rien, c'etait horrible.
Nous sommes arrivé dans une maison toute ouverte avec des dizaines de moustiques sans moustiquaire... L'hôte a envoyé son fil en acheter une, trop petite, nous avons dû nous même bricoler quelque chose.
L'endroit était sale, la salle de bain pas lavée, la cuisine, le frigidaire avec des vieux plats dedans, le congélateur moisi. Les draps et serviettes des précédents locataires laissés sales dans la cuisine.
Des déchets dans le jardin, des bouteilles de bière sur la terrasse.
Des le premier soir nous avons voulu modifier notre réservation pour partir le lendemain mais l'hôte n'a pas accepté donc nous avons dû payer les 4 nuits, nous sommes bien évidemment partis quand même. Mais quelle malhonnêteté.

Cons:

Tout nous a déplu, cet endroit est à fuir.

Neutral review about this place
Pros:

Santiago was very nice. He knows English so it was helpful. The hostel is located in the village so there is a small market nearby

Cons:

The price for this very basic room, far from the beach is overpriced. We pay 140k COP per room per night and it should be max 100k COP. The kitchen is very basic with an electric stove, without a kettle. There are some tools missing even for omelette.
Sometimes it feels that Santiago tries to sell us some tours (we find by ourselves at a lower price, somewhere else)
There are tons of mosquitoes in this area and the net wasn't installed, so we had to ask for it the second night.
The fan wasn't working so we asked for a fan. There wasn't toilet paper so we had to ask.
It is expected that the room will be ready when we arrive.
