La Ruka Hostel

A little walk from town, but close to the beaches,not the most social but with friendly staff and clean. There is also a bus stop just outside of the hostel which is convenient.

Goed hostel met ruime kamers, buitenkeuken leuke sfeer, goede locatie

Nice hostel, would always go there again!!

Very cool hostel! The common areas are nice and there are many spots to chill out. The vibe is lovely with all the cats, dogs, and super sweet staff/volunteers! It’s 5min away by feet from the city center which is really convenient! Only thing is that it’s a bit pricey to share a small dorm with 7 other people. For that price it would be nice to include breakfast maybe? Otherwise loved my stay there !

Stayed at this hostel twice during my time at Puerto Viejo . Would absolutely recommend due to cleanliness and the open space which are both very important for me . Laid back staff and welcoming atmosphere, also met some great people here too !

One of the best hostels I stayed in, everyone is super friendly, loved the vibe, great common spaces and clean:)

Really good hostel . Very clean and have a lot of common areas to chill out in . Friendly staff and dorms and bathrooms were also clean. Would recommend if you are in the area

Nettes Personal und gute Ausstattung sowie schöne Anlage. Nicht zu weit von der Stadt entfernt. Atmosphäre eher cozy und entspannt. Das dorm war etwas dunkel aber sonst gut

Great! The hostel has everything you need ❤️

Excellent place 🙌 want to come back again for future travels to Puerto viejo

This is the best hostel in Puerto Viejo. It’s like the location of a beachy yoga retreat. The space is unique, they do a great job of sustainable practices, and the yoga “room” is amazing. Highly recommend!

Super Hostel, calme pour dormir et à la fois vivant avec beaucoup de backpackers, idéalement situé très proche à pied du centre de Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. Les volontaires sont super sympas et l’atmosphère sauvage avec un grand « jardin ».

Ein mega schönes Hostel. Rund um zufrieden. Leider lag unser Hostel an der Straße, was etwas lauter war, aber das ist Meckern auf hohem Niveau :)

Loved my stay in La Ruka during 4 nights. For me it’s the perfect mix between social and chill. Lots of common areas, I was in the dorm where there are only 6 beds (some big beds as well), the dorm had its own bathroom, very clean. The kitchen is also very clean and easy to use. The volunteers are super nice, you can rent bicycles for cheap, and the location is perfect, not too in the city of puerto viejo but super close. They also have yoga classes everyday, honestly perfect hostel!

I loved my private here , and the hostel itself is situated in a nice location. I'd stay here again .

I kept extending my stay, because I loved the hostel. The rooms are big and there is enough space to storage your stuff. They have a nice common area to connect with people. And the staff was so lovely! I can totally recommend it. One of the best hostels I‘ve been so far!

Very cute hostel! Staff was friendly and helpful, and there was a nice chill vibe. Lovely garden around and a nice outdoor kitchen. There are bikes to rent. Would absolutely stay here again!

Wer richtiges Dschungelgefühl will ist hier genau richtig. Beim Frühstücken konnten wir Affen und Kolibris sehen. Es besteht zudem auch die Möglichkeit am Yoga teilzunehmen, was auf der Terrasse mit Ausblick auf Dschungel und Meer definitiv ein Highlight war. Da alles offen ist, sollte man auf jeden Fall Rucksäcke und Taschen immer zulassen, da sich sonst schnell die Ameisen breit machen. Es gab außerdem die Möglichkeit Frühstück zu bestellen. Kaffe stand umsonst zur Verfügung:)

We had a great time staying here! The were very sweet and the kitchen were clean and nice too cook in. They had great facilities like a gym and opportunities to take yoga classes and nice “lounging” area. The hostel were placed perfect in my opinion 10 min walk to city and 10 min walk to playa cocles so right in the middle.

Really lovely hostel, the staff were great. The rooms were nice and the hostel itself is very welcoming and chilled. Yoga every day and a good kitchen!
