The room was well set up; the bed was comfortable, the 2 fans were great and having a mini fridge in the room was very handy. We loved that there were sloths and agouti around the hostel. We also loved Tequila, one of the cats who was super friendly. He brightened our days!

Simply one the best Hostel I ever been to. The location is far from Puerto Viejo, of course, but the beach is close (ten minutes by walk), and just a bit further there are three supermarkets and a pharmacy (and you'll find yourself in the main road, pretty easy to do anything). Then, you're staying in a very nice jungle spot. The facilities are great, good kitchen, big rooms (with lockers and plugins). All very clean (you can see how the volunteers are making an effort, they're really great: all the staff is very friendly and helpful). Good common areas with a fantastic atmosphere, very social and easygoing (I would dare say you can actually feel at home: your home in the jungle). Highly recommended :)

The best hostel we’ve stayed in, couldn’t recommend more. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the hostel had a really homely vibe. Every space felt well thought out, we particularly enjoyed the yoga space :)

Hostel located just at the beach which makes you really feel like you are living on the beach. Great personel, everything was going smooth. Hostel has also bikes for rent. Kitchen was big enough for all the people staying at this time. Place was being cleaned every day, also bed was very comfy and spacious :)

We really enjoyed our stay. I think we got lucky with the room we received. We had direct beach access and enjoyed making coffee and walking out to the ocean every morning. We also liked having a kitchen with a fridge helping us lower expenses on our trip.

    Best hostel in Puerto Viejo! Had an amazing stay once again. I keep coming back here. The staff is amazing, always willing to help or just chat with you. It has everything you need and is located in between town and cocles beach. Both are walking distance which is really nice. Recommend anyone to stay here!
