Set in Ríohacha, Guajira region, Hammocks - Hamacas is situated 100 metres from Playa de Riohacha. The hostel also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service.

At the hostel, all rooms include a wardrobe. All rooms are complete with a shared bathroom and air conditioning, and certain rooms also offer a patio.

No complaints! It's basic but well-run. Joshua speaks good English and provided details for a 3 day tour of the desert - also recommended. The hammocks were strong and comfortable.The air conditioning works, there are lockers (bring your own padlock), a courtyard with chairs for socialising, and the beach is a very short walk away. I stayed here twice.

A few steps from Playa de Riohacha, Nueve Uno Hostel is situated in Ríohacha and features air-conditioned rooms. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Some rooms at the property have a patio with a sea view.

Jose is an awesome stand up guy. Very helpful, as is his brother Jesus. The hostel is close to the beach, but not so close that the music will keep you up. The rooms are air conditioned, there is a light and plug in each bunk with a blind for privacy. I've been here many times, and will continue coming back. ✌🏼

Such a great hostel. The whole set up is lovely and the staff are great. It has everything you need too: comfy beds with curtains and AC (set not too high or too low), a pool, and tasty breakfast + both a kitchen and restaurant bar. The other guests staying when I stayed were also great. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Sashii Hostel is a wanderful place, in a great location in Rioacha, near to the seafront. The Hostel is so close to a market where you can find anything you want. The staff is very kind and ready to help you for any request. I also booked an amazing tour of 3 days and 2 nights in Guajira, with the same company that was the best experiance in Colombia. Really reccomanded.

    This is the quietest hostel. They don't have common areas. We stayed in double room for 2 nights and it was comfortable. And we stayed one more night when we returned from La Guajra tour. It's very good location near the beach and market. The staff were very nice. There is always some one at the disk. It has no air-conditioning but the fan was more than enough. It's not luxury but it's good.

    This hostel is conveniently located close to the centre, with restaurants nearby and a supermarket next to it, so perfect if you stay here before you go on a tour to La Guajira. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even called someone who spoke English to explain the safety/security measurements to take in this part of Colombia. The breakfast was good and we loved the rooftop terrace and the hammocks on the balcony.

    Everything. One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Int the dorms: capsule style beds, individual lights and fans, regulated air-con at night at a good temperature. In the other areas: lots of space to relax, a brilliant roof-top pool and bar, a room full of bean bags with a huge screen ideal for watching sports or films. Great location. Quiet. Friendly, attentive staff. Good value for money.

    The staff is very helpful, the hostel is clean and the bedrooms are great with curtains on each bed, as well as lockers to keep your stuff safe. It's well located and the breakfast is good for the price you pay. I would really recommend it if you go to Rioacha
