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 :)

I accidentally left my glasses there and they were so incredibly nice to send them out to me all the way to San Jose. I’ll never forget this gesture, thank you so much! Apart from that facilities were great as well as the atmosphere and the team!

The Location right infront of the beach is a dream. Food was falvourful, local style. Big kitchen area with loads of Utensils. Alejandra the receptionist, gave me some plasters and anti bactieral water for some walking blisters I have. Then let me change bed. She went out of her way to help. Probably the nicest person I met in all of Costa Rica!! The Hostel is also close to a big supermarket. I would stay again!

If I could give it a rating higher than 10, I would without hesitation. One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. Everything was wonderful: the room, the facilities, the cleanliness, and a special mention to Tito and Cian who made us feel at home. Costa Rica was even better because of them ♥️✨ pura vida!

Beautiful and relaxing hostel in Puerto Viejo. Staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The hostel felt very safe too. There are hammocks to relax in and the outdoor kitchen is really well-equipped with everything you need.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    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!
