I really had a wonderful time at the pelican house hostel. The staff (owners and volunteers) are amazing! They help you with everything, organize tours and transport and are always up for a lovely conversation. The atmosphere at the hostel is super laid-back and familiar. The hostel has a kitchen and fridge for cooking meals and enough spaces to hang out. Despite the humidity, the sheets and pillows are dry and smell fresh. There is daily housekeeping to keep everything clean. The location is absolutely amazing (just look at the pictures). It really is a small paradise and I think my Chocó experience may have been the best during my 8 months of traveling.

One of the best hostels I have stayed at in Colombia! The location is spectacular and on the beach. I enjoyed my morning walking along the shore. The breakfasts are my favorite meal of the day, they are different every morning and the cooks are creative with the food types and tons of flavor. So many great tours offered. We did the whale watching tour and the baby turtle release. Both were amazing and unforgettable. The staff is super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The public kitchen was great for making meals. H ighly recommended overall.

Loved all the hammocks, and the wildlife all around. Great WiFi and good breakfast. Bonus points for the puppies!

Travelers on a budget looking to experience a place like a local will enjoy homestays. These simple accommodations are in a private home, where the host also lives. All facilities are shared and in most cases breakfast is included.
Laid back vibe hostel run by good people. Upstairs hammock/lounge area was a great alternative to the midday heat. The nearby beach is huge and great for swimming and surfing - ask about tides beforehand. Cool activity programme on offer. My room had a fan and decent mosquito net over the bed, however I found night-time to be cool enough to go without the fan. Bar downstairs can be noisy (it's a hangout for locals and staff mostly) but clears up by 11pm latest.
Nice place to stay with good value for money. Mailer and his family are great hosts. The location is great - just a few minutes walk to both the beach and the town. I went specifically looking for jungle walks and mailer is the best guide around for this it seems. Very knowledgeable about the various flora and fauna of the surrounding jungle and he is able to take groups or individuals on both day and nighttime tours
Great hostel in El valle with a nice bar and terrace to chill out at. I spent a week here and absolutely loved my stay here. The staff is super friendly and overall it's a lovely vibe to meet people and have a good time.
Also best wifi in the whole town if you need to work :)
PROS:

- several different spaces to relax and watch the ocean
- nice chill vibe
I really loved my stay at the Humpback as I have stayed there for 3 weeks ! The atmosphere is super chill and it’s an awesome place to relax, especially in the hostel’s hamacs or directly on the beach as it’s the only hostel that’s actually located on the beach. It’s also a great place to meet other backpackers as well as the locals who always hang out there.
Overall I 100% recommend the Humpback !
Perfect stay Staff is incredible friendly especially santi. The place is amazing nearly no mosquitos hamocks all over the place, well equiped kitchen, a lot of tours are offerd. you can do so many activitys there, for example: the locals play every afternoon volleyball, surfing everyday for cheap rentals, and as i brought my own fishing rod it was possible to catch mackreals grouper pargo and much more just from the rocks on the right end of the beach. Was my best stay/time in colombia... thanks for that 🫶🏻
The views of the beach are spectacular from our room and social spaces. Everything was very comfortable, and an extremely relaxed atmosphere.
The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruits and juices cereals and eggs how you like, good coffee etc.
Monica was such a great host and so helpful about organising tours and recomendations of where to eat.
Such a great hostel. Daniela was so kind and welcoming, she really made an already excellent hostel all the better. Location couldn't be better, right on the beach & town is only a short walk away. Coffee is available at all times and the kitchen is big and fully equipped. Comfy beds with mosquito nets. The cutest, friendliest pets. Couldn't recommend this place more.
