COMFORT HOUSE — Hotel in Santa Marta

Truly not sure how this place has 4.7 stars. People either feel bad or have no expectations for cleanliness. I understand that this is a budget stay, but I’ve stayed in cheaper places that were much cleaner. There was hair all over the bed, mosquitoes everywhere, and the bathroom smelled so badly of sewage. There were reviews on booking.com that talked about the smell, but I figured it probably wasn’t too bad. Oh no, it was bad and I should’ve listened. We stayed for 3 hours before leaving. On top of that, Santa Marta has got to be the most overrated city in all of Colombia. The entire city stinks and there’s nothing to do. On top of that, the area of this hostel is quite sketchy with some people who struggle with drug usage using and buying drugs right around the corner. They have no problem coming up to you and asking for money while the police stand...

Great location, really pleasant and clean rooms, but one thing that makes this such a god place to stay are the staff. Very helpful and generous with their time and advice. I travel to Santa Marta every six months and this will be my place to...

Nice, clean stay with phenomenal air conditioning. Hosts were able to help with random requests and questions. I would recommend anyone to stay here and would love to stay...
