- Terrible staying. The bed was very small and extremely uncomfortable. The pool was filthy, with plastic bottles floating in it. The room was full of insects, including a huge cockroach and tons of ants - I had tons if them on my bed and pillow. The Wi-Fi was very poor and only worked occasionally. The bathroom floor was in very bad condition, which just added to the overall disgusting feeling. There was no water from the afternoon until night. Even if this was an area-wide issue, there were no basic solutions offered (like water containers to manually flush). Also, they probably have no backup water tanks as my friends that stayed in other nearby hostels mentioned they had water. I was supposed to stay for three nights but left after just one because it was unbearable. To make things worse, after checkout, while sitting in the shared area and quietly reading a book, the owner reached out to me and asked me to leave the hostel area as guests aren’t allowed to stay after 13:00 when doing check out. So be prepared that if you have a late shuttle you will be forced to wait in the street. Absolutely terrible experience. Avoid at all costs.
+ The staff were great
- It smelt like sewage, no ac even tho the pictures had one, my fan stopped working, right beside construction
+ Solicitamos ayuda y no pueden mientras en otros lugares no fatal
- Soluciones
- Al hacer la reserva, no se me indicó que ocupaba dar nombre de personas adicionales a mi para poder ingresar con acompañantes al hostel, se le negó la entrada a personas que fueron conmigo y debido a eso decidí tomar mis cosas y salir en la madrugada de la estancia del hostel.
+ לא אהבתי
- היה חם ברמות קשות והמזגן לא עבד היו נמלים בכל מקום הצוות לא היה נחמד היה כלכך גרוע לרמה שפשוט הלכתי משם לא יכולתי להישאר שם עוד דקה והחלטתי לוותר על הכסף ופשוט ללכת
The rooms were extremely small and dingy. No pictures of them. Staff at reception had lunch before helping us and then charged 3% on top of the fee. There was a raccoon walking through the kitchen and no one seemed to care. We left after 2 days despite meant to be staying there for 4. Great location though.
Wort hostel ever. Dont go
Really old looking, no frills place. Definitely not worth the $90/night price.
The private room cost 40 dollars, and the room had a shared bathroom between three people. In the morning, there was no water in the shower, including in the toilet. Someone had pooped and there was no way to flush it. They finally let me use another bathroom, but they were adamant I check out my room at 10 am and then use the other bathroom, despite the fact that I was late in getting ready due to the bathroom not working. The hostel was not clean and 40 dollars was far too overpriced.
The place could be really great, it’s pretty and well located. However the atmosphere and the vibe isn’t serving. The staff is not really nice and welcoming. You can feel like they are only here for money and not for hospitality. The guy working in the morning can be very rude to customers. I am pretty sure the all over atmosphere would be much better with good people working there. One guy working in the afternoon was actually nice.

+ Great location, nice kitchen facilities, pool is such a bonus. They are strict about quiet time which is helpful to be able to get a good nights sleep. Definitely glad I stayed in the 4 person dorm though, a/c throughout the night and I'm always cold so they gave me a blanket. They were helpful with planning a shuttle to La Fortuna and also the surf lessons were great (cash only).
- I think only 4 bathrooms / showers so you might have to wait but generally I didn't have any issues. Also no lockers so bring a lock for your bag if you have lots of cash and valuables.
+ El ambiente. Excelente
- Nada
The atmosphere is excellent.
+ Great vibes, and perfect location!
