"I had a wonderful stay here! The accommodation is cozy, comfortable, and felt like home from the first moment. The food was delicious, fresh, and always prepared with care. A very special thank you to Laura and her mother, who were incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay - they truly made the experience unforgettable. And of course, the two adorable dogs made everything even better! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a welcoming and authentic stay."

Hotel The Dolphin Santa Marta

"Hotel bei Ebookers war bezahlt. Und bei Unterkunft musste ich nochmals 228 000 kolumbianischer Peso bezahlen. Ich dachte das ist Kaution. Wie ich feststelle. Habe ich nun dieses schlechte Hotel doppelt bezahlt. Nun habe ich eine Buchung in einem anderem Hotel. Wieder über Ebookers. Und die wollen nun auch wieder Geld. Obwohl bezahlt.. funktioniert ebookers nicht. Oder machen das die Hotels in Kolumbien so. Fühle mich nun betrogen und hätte gerne das Geld zurück."

Divanga Hostel

"Conveniently located, this property is run by Lucie, a French woman caring and fluent in English and Spanish. She runs the place in a warm way making it cozy and nice to be in. She cooks delicously as well. There are two calm and nice dogs that run freely. It is all a soothing environment. She arranges for transportation and gives u tips. Rooms and pretty, with AC. I spent almost a week in Divanga using it as base and the plays draws relaxed travellers fun to talk to. Super recommended. "
