    Limited vegan options for breakfast, should consider implementing this since there are many international travellers. The room was big but dark (no proper window). The toilet was also quite big, but permanently flooded (due to humidity of the location it never dried up). We requested new toilet rolls since the one in place was soaked.

    We spent three nights at Kanta Sana, and had a very good experience. Bed was big and comfortable, room was clean. There is no A/C but a fan, and mosquito net is provided. They supported us with booking a taxi to/from the hostel, and provided information when asked. We also used the laundry service, which was efficiently ready within 24hrs. Pool is big enough and there's plenty of space to hang out outside the room.

    - A guy receptionist would rather find himself working in a morgue, but I heard he isn't there anymore. - not allowed to use kitchen for guest, only for volunteers. The receptionist was running to me nervously when they saw me using it, even though I just wanted to wash and cut some fruits!

    Beautiful place, hands down. I felt more like in a resort, not in the hostel. Unusual decor, furnishings. The design is made in a certain theme of different colors, naturalness, naturally shaped wood. Spacious. You can find place for your own. Yoga everyday and a basic gym.

    The menu of the restaurant was a bit limited, but the so-called main street is not far away, where you can find a good selection of restaurants

    Good vibes, great helpful staff, peaceful location, place is beautiful, room was big and spacious.

    Stayed in the dorm next to the Pool. The dorm was basic but had everything, including a fan, a locker and a small lamp for each bed. Showers are big (water ist cold, but totally fine in this climate). Common area really nice and Like in the Pictures including a small gym area. Break-fast is nothing special but good.

    Dorm rooms dont have a door so noise can be an issue.

    Best hostel in Colombia. I went for a few days and stayed for a month. Calm chill spaces to work, read, relax, lots of hammocks. Gym, ping pong, pool, bar, fantastic free breakfast, pool, literally this hostel has it all.

    They did have quiet hours, although the music was quite loud until 10pm. Our 2nd night, we think they forgot about the quiet hours time because the loud music continued until after 11pm. We got a private room, but the sound travelled quite a bit between rooms despite this. Bring ear plugs! This hostel is also on a street a few mins walk from the main street of Palomino. It was safe enough but not as well lit as we would have liked!

    The design of this hostel was really interesting - they incorporated the construction well with the nature of the area. The breakfast was excellent and they had a good selection from their restaurant as well. It was convenient to be able to charge food and drinks to the room and then pay the bill upon checkout. They also have a helpful book of activities at reception and they even booked a tubing tour for us and a taxi to the airport when we left! Very helpful staff.

    It can get a little noisy if you want to sleep super early or have neighbors which are talking loudly. But that's just a minor thing :)

    It's an amazing place to stay in Palomino. Really liked the attention to detail in the whole place, it's very beautiful. Also, the food is very good and we could join a free Yoga class, which was great. Staff is really nice, helped us with transportation back to the airport. Thank you again! It was our second time in Kanta Sana and we'll probably coming back soon!

    The only thing missing is a small kitchen for guest use.

    Breakfast was good, offering three different meals (Eggs, Yoghurt or Pancakes) all accompanied by fruit and a different juice each day. Great to be able to cool down in the pool Nice relaxing areas with hammocks. Also there was a small gym and space for your yoga/sports practice. Also I enjoyed the chance for a waterbottle refill at reception for 1000COP per litre.

    Clean, comfortable, nice location off the main road, very friendly staff and free yoga classes (not sure if that’s an always thing or just while we were staying, but it was great!) Nice breakfast with some options for those of us who are tired of the usual eggs and arepas ;)

    Water was free at the beginning of my stay but became scarce and therefore paid for during the last days. Some people might have problem with a bit of noise from nearby hostels or people talking in the evening in the common areas.

    Relaxed vibes, the whole place is basically a tree garden, with loads of hammocks and places to chill within the bamboo construction, nice pool. Restaurant and bar available most of the day. Tasty breakfast included. Location a bit further from the main street but this allows for more peaceful environment.

    When we arrived at the hostel they put us in a different room from the images I booked but they had the same facilities, so there was no problem, but in the middle of the stay they asked us to change the room to the one I originally booked, it was a little annoying because we were already comfortable but the truth was not so serious. The bad and good thing is that it was very close to the entrance road of Palomino, so getting to the hostel was very easy, the bad thing is that it was a little far from the beach 20 minutes walk or so, but most of the road had businesses and was nice.

    the hostel is very nice, the breakfasts were delicious and there were many options in the menu, from what we could taste everything was delicious, they had many open areas, pool table and places to rest; the people of the hostel were very friendly and nice.

    A slight thing to make better but ok how it is: Wi-fi that would reach to the street next to the reception and to the parking lot.

    I think it's the best hostel I've been in so far. So really almost everything
