Loved the hostel. Very nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff! The rooms were great spacious and the beds have curtains. Kitchen was well stocked and common area was nice. There were bikes for rent and activities organized by the hostel. Easy walk to the beach but in a quieter street.

Really enjoyed my stay! Evening activities were so much fun and social. Great location and amazing kitchen conditions. En suite could be cleaner but with 8 girls I understand that’s a task

Really enjoyed our stay here! Met some lovely girls and it’s such a great location and facilities are fab. Would be good to know what all the volunteers do as it made it feel quite cliquey as they’d just sit together and not socialise with guests?

Relaxed but sociable atmosphere with daily activities. Great kitchen and communal area to chill out in. Also really clean + nice getting ready area. Can also borrow bikes from the hostel which is great for getting around the town

The hostel has the perfect location for just a few days in Puerto Viejo, kitchen and meeting area are nice and staff was friendly. Only negative point: Toilets were disgusting

I Only stayed for my last two nights in Puerto Viejo but I had the most amazing time. The Hostel feels like a home and I can definetly suggest it for everyone who is looking for a calmer vibe and cleaner surroundings. They had a beauty station with lighted mirrors, straightening irons and blow dryers. I didn’t even realise how much I missed getting ready like that. It was amazing!! The Team is also extremely nice and I can definitely recommend coming here! :))

Hatte eine tolle Zeit im Hostel. Toller Aufenhaltsbereich und Küche. Die Zimmer sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber okay. Es gibt Vorhänge was mega ist. Lage ist tip top. Personal war nett.

+ La ubicación y el lugar

- Llegamos y el pin que me dieron para ingresar no funcionaba, no contestaban el teléfono ni el mail, ni por booking, sino fuera por un matrimonio suizo que estaba parando ahí y que nos ayudó a ponernos en contacto con ellos, hubiéramos perdido dinero, ya que estábamos a punto de pagar en otro lugar.

This hostel was really outstanding. The volonteers were absolutely amazing and there were organized activities each day. Even though the jacuzzi area was small you get access to a big pool at a nearby hostel.

I enjoyed my stay at La Tribu Boutique Hostel for Women. I enjoyed meeting women from all over the world. The common area is very nice and the kitchen is fabulous!!! The hostel is very clean. The lockers and storage of luggage in dorm room should be bigger. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel.

My booking was cancelled by the hostel on the same day, just a few hours before arrival. I was only informed by email and found out when I arrived. What made the situation worse was the staff’s attitude: no apology, no empathy, and a very unfriendly response. Mistakes can happen, but the way this was handled was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this hostel, especially if you rely on confirmed bookings.

Disappointing. Rude staff (not all). Mouldy room. Bed bug outbreak was handled so badly. Prior to my stay some guests had bites and told staff but it was ignored and new guests were moved in. On my second night I found multiple bites and bed begs on my bed, so I left next day but more guests moved into my dorm. I heard that they eventually closed the hostel for a few days to properly exterminate, but that should have happened from the start. Now their customer service won’t reply for a refund...

The common area looks very nice. No one seems to use the jacuzzi so I didn't feel comfortable using it either. It didn't really feel like much of a "safe space" unfortunately. Some younger guests were totally inconsiderate of everyone else and there was a lot of noise between midnight and 4am generally, also from the common area. Also overheard some nasty remarks about myself and other guests. Location was very good and kitchen was well equipped although appliances were dirty.
