We stayed here a few months ago and unfortunately had a very negative experience. One evening, just outside the hostel, we were threatened at knife point. When we reported this, the security guard on duty was very young and did not take any action. The hostel owners later became involved but were dismissive and unhelpful — instead of supporting us, they suggested we were making it up. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!There are no street light on that hill and the police and people who own this place dont ca...
My least favourite hostel stay in my Central America trip. The dorm has AC, however they don’t turn it on unless you pay extra for it. There are fans but they point to the foot of the bed so doesn’t do much unless you sleep that way. But if you do you lose your privacy because the curtain only covers the head of the bed and doesn’t go further. Ultimately it is too hot to even wear clothes, but then you don’t have privacy so this isn’t an option either.
Wouldn’t recommend- they try to charge and extra 10 USD for WiFi, staff rude and breakfast a 2/5
Overall it was a fine place to rest your head for a night, close in town but off the main drag. Sheets and bedding did not seem clean. Not much of a social vibe but overall fine for a night or two
Attention à la femme de ménage 💸
The dorm was big but smelled bad, and it was sooo warm in there, and almost no lights. This is a good hostel to rest, people go to bed early and are very quiet. The kitchen was bad and the water filter didn’t feel safe to me. So haven’t drink any water there
Definitely not the best hostel I’ve been. I had a dorm with 10 beds. First night was great, but the hostel was empty. If you wanna socialize and meet backpackers, it’s not the place. Second night was awful. A family with 4 kids got like 8 beds in the dorm and it was a nightmare. I’ve been in many hostels and I know dorms can be noisy, but I never had kids running around and people being so disrespectful in the morning. A hostel should not put a family with kids in the same room as backpack...
- Kitchen was a conplete mess (Dirty Plates, Used Pans and food all over the kitchen) - Waterfilter doesn‘t really work wenn the hostel is fullybooked. It only drips out. No chance to fill a whole bottle. - Rooms were really hot - Lower beds have courtons, upper bads don‘t - Locker was broken
it’s okay. it’s located uphill from the main square. not much to do, not a lot of activities. very hot in the room and really small kitchen.
I didn’t love my stay here. The hostel felt kind of dirty and had a strange smell. The atmosphere wasn’t great either. If you’re looking for something walkable to the main beach, this has that, but the main beach isn’t great anyways so it’s not the best selling point.

L’hostel est situé à 5 minutes à pied du centre, un peu à l’écart, belle tranquillité. Or, près de plusieurs maisons abandonnées avec des SDF qui peuvent t’aborder lorsque tu rentres en soirée (menace au couteau pour $ ou offre des services sex.) Le dortoir était confortable. Plusieurs coins pour chiller dans la cour. 3 choix de déjeuner, très bon. Bon rapport qualité/prix, je recommande tout de même. Les femmes de ménage chillaient longtemps dans le dorm, ce qui m’a donn�...
The hostel is located 5 minutes walk from the center, a bit out of the way, nice quiet. Or, near several abandoned houses with homeless people who can board when you come home in the evening (threat of a knife for $ or offer sex services.) The dorm was comfortable. Several corners to chill in the yard. 3 lunch choices, very good. Good price/quality ratio, I recommend anyway. The cleaning ladies chill for a long time in the dorm, which gave me a doubt. To watch.
Not the worst, not the best. Check in is at 1pm, not 12. There were no towels included. The kitchen is very small, ok to cook but not even ONE towel to dry dishes or clean the counter. No filtered water. The included breakfast is alright but it was 20 mins late both mornings. Our roommate got back in our dorm just to catch the cleaning lady GOING THROUGH HER WALLET. The bathroom is ok but needs hooks. My sheets were stained and there was trash in my personal space. Location and view are good.
Overall it was a fine place to rest your head for a night, close in town but off the main drag. Sheets and bedding did not seem clean. Not much of a social vibe but overall fine for a night or two
Great location for a good price. Breakfast included is a nice touch. However, the facilities are pretty mediocre; the biggest issue is that the top bunks don’t have curtains, something that I don’t recall ever experiencing at past hostels.
muy buena ubicación con vista al atardecer, el personal está muy amable, está seguro, cama con ventilador y cortina y grande locker, desayuno rico.
Very good location with a view of the sunset, the staff is very friendly, it is safe, bed with fan and curtain and large locker, rich breakfast.
It’s not really a social hostel, but it has some lovely chill areas to relax. The kitchen is quite basic, could use more equipment and better cleaning. Mixed dorms could be improved, when I arrived there was no space for my backpack (no locker or corner), which was uncomfortable until I could switch beds and get a locker. Location is okay, but I felt a bit unsafe walking back at night as a woman. Some street security would help!! 🙏
Lugar perfeito, super tranquilo e bom para relaxar. O café da manhã é ótimo, tem duas opções e a equipe é super educada e gentil.
Great place to chill !!
El hostel es comodo y tranquilo. El único problema que tuve es que dejé olvidadas unas zapatillas y cuando regrese a buscarlas no estaban mas. El desayuno esta bien, el wifi funciona bien y las habitaciones tienen varios baños.
The hostel is comfortable and quiet. the only problem i had was that i forgot some slippers and when i went back to get them they were gone. the breakfast is good, the wifi works well and the rooms have several bathrooms.
great chill hostel in San Juan del Sur, a good place to get some rest away from the partying. lots of hammocks to chill in, a deck to watch the sunset, free breakfast included was great. dorms are spacious with comfy beds. showers are cramped but fine. sweet and helpful staff. highly recommend
Decent hostel for a night or two due to affordability. Don’t do laundry here, two of my white tees got ruined by their laundry service
Absolutely loved my week in saltwater! free breakfast pancakes were huge and delicious! The women who work here are so friendly and j moved beds and extended without any difficulty. Full kitchen/fridge, en-suites with several showers + extra toilets outside! The hammocks/ seating is amazing to chill, socialise, eat and study or do work. The WiFi is excellent and the hostel is very comfy. Each bed has a fan and I always slept so good! Perfect location and a pretty perfect hostel. Thank you girls
This was my favorite hostel in San Juan del sur. The breakfast is great, bottom bunks have a privacy curtain, nice spot to chill with a beautiful view. They don’t host any social events and some of the information they have is outdated.
Great place to stay, very quiet compared to other hostels. Can get busy on the weekends with locals and have found it to be quite loud but other than that it’s a great place to stay.
Everything was amazing: cheap hostel, very clean, yummy and big breakfast, big lockers, nice shower. Only thing is there were issues with the toilet flush working.
Attention à la femme de ménage 💸
El estaff, la dueña y el hermano son muy amables y te hacen pasar un buen rato, el desayuno es muy bueno y las habitaciones muy comodas con lockers grandes. Todo es muy limpio y con areas comunes muy lindas
The staff, the owner and the brother are very friendly and make you have a good time, the breakfast is very good and the rooms are very comfortable with large lockers.
beautiful view, close to the city, staff was great and a lot of breakfast options. just don’t do your laundry there (they charge more for women clothes than men clothes)
Great spaces to hang out, a lovely breakfast and helpful staff. Short walk down the hill to the beach. Pretty quiet / not a social atmosphere. Private room was okay - very warm and bathroom was pretty mouldy - but a cheap price so overall an okay stay.
