Clean and large room with comfortable beds, for a cheap price. Staff was nice. It was situated on close walking distance off the center, but still quiet.

Perfect place to stay if you are looking for a cozy hostel with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. Perfect location in relation to the Spanish school to improve your Spanish, not to mention you have several top surf spots within walking distance! There is a large living room with a bar where you can get drinks. Everyone usually sits here chatting, drinking, watching a movie, playing ping pong or a game of pool. Almost every evening there is something to do in or around the hostel such as Burger night, Taco night and Trivia night. There is a communal kitchen with all amenities and various places where you can relax, such as several hammocks or sofas. The Garden will soon be renovated with, among other things, a volleyball field. There is already a slackline and campfire spot available! And don't forget to cuddle or play with the cutest dog (Lobo) and sweetest cat (Venus)!

All hostels in Rivas

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.

    There were only two redeeming qualities this hostel possessed to make our stay somewhat bearable: the volunteers and the proximity to Playa Amarillo. The volunteers were terrific, very friendly, very helpful, and excelled at giving the place some energy. The hostel is located just five minutes from Playa Amarillo, which was some fantastic surfing while we were there and something I would recommend to anyone that surfs, especially beginner to intermediate surfers.

    The location of the hostel is just perfect. Small cabins surounded by coconut trees. Its remote but you feel safe all the time. 5 min walk to the beautiful beach of Popoyo. Trent couldn't be a better host. In the morning you get an awesome breakfast with fresh fruits from the area and in the evenings Trent will explore the local kitchen with you.

    Great stay at Ruamoko hostel. The owner welcomes you with a smile and kindness. The dormitory is big and spacious there are even 2 bathrooms in the room of 8! The sea is just next door and the atmosphere is really cool in the hostel. I recommend :)
