    The natural setting of the hotel was beautiful, with many colorful birds to see during breakfast. The location of the hotel was conveniently near the entrance to the national park, making it easy to explore. The food at the hotel was good, with a range of options available at reasonable prices.

    The noise from the surrounding area was a major issue. The constant traffic from the nearby road made it feel like trucks were in the room, and the barking dogs and loud music from neighboring properties added to the noise pollution.

    The hostel's location is very convenient for visiting the nearby national park. They offer a free shuttle service to the park entrance, saving guests the hassle of finding transportation. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, providing great recommendations for nearby activities. the dorm rooms are clean and modern, with comfortable beds and air conditioning.

    One downside is that there is only one bathroom for the dorm rooms, which can be inconvenient if the hostel is busy. Another drawback is that the mattresses in the dorms are a bit too firm for some guests' liking.

    The nearby attractions were great, especially the park. The free transport and short walking distance made it very convenient. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    I had a terrible experience with the owner. He was uncooperative and unfriendly, causing a lot of unnecessary stress.

    The landscaping at Eco Hostal Yuluka was absolutely beautiful, with serene views and plenty of space to relax in hammocks. The pool was a nice touch, especially after a long day of exploring. The dorm room had comfortable beds and was relatively clean, and I appreciated the lockers to keep my valuables safe. The individual outlets by the beds were also very convenient. The air conditioning and fan in the room kept it comfortable. The free shuttle to Tayrona Park was a great perk and made getting there easy.

    The value I got at this hostel was amazing, the room was comfortable and luxurious. The location was perfect, surrounded by nature and just a short ride to Parque Tayrona. The staff were friendly and super helpful.

    One breakfast option could have been improved.

    I stayed at Eco Hostal Yuluka for two nights and it was a fantastic experience. The breathtaking view, beautiful property, and convenient on-site restaurant and bar were some of the highlights. The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. The proximity to Parque Tayrona and the shuttle service in the morning were also great perks. Additionally, being close to the collectivo bus stop from Santa Marta made transportation easy. I couldn't have been happier with my choice to stay at Yuluka.

    I would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hotel was perfect, as it was right next to the national park. the restaurant at the hotel had great food and reasonable prices. Another advantage was the beautiful grounds of the hotel, which added to the overall experience of the stay.

    The wifi connection at the hotel was quite poor, so don't expect to be connected during your stay. there were some bugs in the room, but it's understandable considering the location in the jungle.
