Amazing experience to learn how to prepare an authentic Colombian meal. In a beautiful rooftop setting, using fresh local ingredients, hands on creating a delicious meal! Looking forward to make this for my friends & family back home! Gracias LIFE IS GOOD!

Second time staying here, staff treats you like family, like the decor of the place (they converted a colonial house but kept the original materials and design). Context= back in 2022, I was going to stay here for a bit and ended up being 2 months... (tells you all you need to know) Breakfast (quality) is included, much quieter than other hotels in the area = better sleep at night! Also purified water/coffee free, which saves some $$ as you can't drink the tap water in Cartagena (other hotels I have to keep buying bottles). For socializing and meeting people, can always go to Selina rooftop nearby or cafes in Getsemani neighborhood, then return to Life is Good for the peace.

this hostel is more like a hotel. in great location close to Trinidad square. large lockers in dorms big enough for large backpack and large front pack. choice of three types of breakfast. free coffee 24/7. arranged taxi to airport 25k. highly recommend. only downside is that I arrived at 7pm and couldn't book any tours for next day as they use an external tour agent.

We had a wonderful stay at Life is Good in Cartagena. We found the staff to be incredibly attentive and the quality of the food in the restaurant was excellent. If you are looking for somewhere close to all the action of Getsemani and the old town, without all the noise then this place is ideal. We also did a cooking class which was absolutely worth it. Before coming here, I didn't realise just how nice Colombian food was but after this course, I will certainly be trying it at home. The absolute highlight for us during our stay was the kitten. She is utterly adorable and incredibly playful and worth the room rate alone.

My friend and I took a cooking class with Life is Good. It was fun and the food was great; very much worth the price! Our class was in Spanish and English and there were plenty of menu options.

My husband and I were looking for a fun activity to do during our stay in Cartagena and I stumbled upon Life is Good Cartagena’s cooking class!! It was truly an amazing experience with Chef Carlos and our translator Diana. They were both very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. We cooked very traditional coastal Caribbean Colombian dishes and the class also included a free drink and dessert. They have so many dishes to choose from and day classes have a capacity of 4 guests, which keeps the experience very intimate. This class is great for all ages!! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cartagena. It’s a great and unique way to experience the Colombian culture!!

I stayed five nights in the family suite. The room, AC and Wifi were great. It was really the staff that stood out. They were all so helpful, and I really felt like I was part of their family. The location was quiet, but close to lots of restaurants and bars. The coffee was available all day, and it was really good. If I come back to Cartagena, I would absolutely stay here. Great value too!
