Gelegen op een prachtige plaats in Corcovado. Veel wild gezien. De kleine tentjes stonden volledig open bij aankomst en we vonden een grote spin in onze tent. Ze sluiten zou qua ongedierte iets slimmer zijn? De ventilatie va´n de tent was volledig dichtgeroest zodat we het niet konden openen. De gemeenschappelijk keuken was vuil.Vieze borden en pannen, 1 van de 2 ijskasten stuk. Het sanitair van de gezamelijke blok was heel slecht onderhouden. Het personeel was vriendelijk en lekker on...

i believe it's the best hostel close to bahía drake. it's perfectly located between the bay& white sand beach which cuts the long hike along the coastline in half and you can easily walkfrom both sides of the hostel to explore wildlife and jungle. the staff is very friendly, Karolinacooksdelicious,andthe family living in the area shares information about the wildlife and place surrounding. you walk up to the howler monkeys and see coatis passing by outside the dorms. don't forget to buy food bf...

This was by far my highlight of my Costa Rica travels! I’ve seen countless animals (fireflies, sloth, ant eater, monkeys, caiman, dolphin, snake, coatis etc), the sky is breathtaking with all the stars, you’re really remote in the jungle, we swam with bioluminescence during new moon and beyond that people are sweet there and the food is delicious at the restaurant! I stayed 6 nights and would’ve loved to stay longer! What a magical place!

Amazing place in the middle of the jungle and beautiful beaches with really few people around. Perfect if you want to enjoy the nature without much people around. For food, besides the hostel restaurant, there is a tiny village in a 5min walk with 1 restaurant. Drake Bay is 45min walk. The only downside: in the hostel part I believe facilities need some work done to improve their state. All in all loved it quality price, would stay there again!

I stayed four nights in a the female dorm. It’s a large room, and the bed was comfortable. Monkeys would come right into the kitchen so we had to keep food hidden and stored in fridge. Gabriel was really lovely and welcoming so thank you for being so helpful. Reiko the cat was lovely too. The only thing I’d complain about is there was absence of coat hooks. Please put this up in bathroom / dorm rooms, it would make things a lot easier. Thank you Corcovado jungle hostel. I’d visit ag...

Amazing hostel. Staff super helpful and friendly, great location and amazing wildlife right at the hostel. The boat ride from Sierpe is beautiful. The food is really good and a reasonable price.

Je ne marque jamais de commentaire, mais là je suis obligée! Meilleure hostel & expérience que j’ai eu en Amérique Centrale. Victor, Gabrielle et Yesica sont vraiment adorables, ils ont été au petits soins du début à la fin. Grâce à eux, j’ai amélioré mon espagnole (ils ont étés patients) et ont à meme ete faire un foot avec leurs amies. Niveau propreté rien à dire, les tentes sont parfaites avec une vue splendide. Le chemin pour aller à Drake Bay est sublimes. Je reviendra...

Easily the best hostel I’ve stayed in location wise! It’s a 4km walk to drake bay, so the beaches are super quiet and trails are full of wildlife. Facilities are a little basic (power and water turned off a few times) and unclean (we had a bat fly into the kitchen one night) but this is understandable with its remote location

I loved forest camping, with beach sounds all night, howler monkeys howling in the mornings, blue morphos while brushing teeth. But the place needs to be more user-friendly. The road ends, but then there are no signs to guide guests to reception or to actual hostel area. Checkin/out is inefficient. The water gets turned off at night, so there’s no flushing the toilet or running the water filter, which didn’t work for 1/3 days we were there. Chilled water refilled in the morning, then runs o...

I really liked my stay in this Hostel. The room was clean, the staff was very very nice and it was so very easy and comfortable to book tours with them. Also the beach in front of the Hostel is beautiful and the forest is right next to ghe kitchen (during my breakfasts I could see a coati, monkeys, agouti and a funny kind of bird. The only thin I didn't like was the kitchen. It was a bit dirty and full of bugs and there where not a lot of cooking supplies. But all in all a great hostel.

Para acceder al hostel hay que tomar una lancha desde Sierpe. Los precios de las mismas varían según si uno la paga al lanchero o al hostel (que te la cobra mas caro). No hay señal de wi fi en el hostel, si en el hotel. Si bien la idea de la carpa no es mala, si hay que decir que la misma esta sucia (telas arañas en los laterales) y el colchón es incómodo. Faltaría en el sector carpas un tacho de basura y luz para el baño, además de un jabón. Son detalles. En contraposición el amanece...

I loved my stay here. The location is priceless! Directly between some of Costa Rica‘s most pristine beaches. I ended up staying in a tent and it was lovely to hear the waves at night and practice yoga on the little deck in the morning. The owner is a wonderful person and the rest of the staff is nice too. They really do their best to keep this place clean but of course that’s not easy in this location. I cooked my own food and I liked the kitchen. If you love nature, this is the place to go

Absolutely stunning location, you can't get much more of an authentic rainforest accommodation than this - you really feel like you're in the thick of it. Gabriel, Yesica and the rest of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful - they cook good food too! Great place to explore the area or even chill in the hammock and watch the world go by! It's my second time staying here and it won't be my last. I could easily have spent my whole trip here!

Wir haben hier keine Nacht geschlafen sondern sind am selben Tag wieder abgereist. Die Mehrbettzimmer sind so dreckig. Mein Lacken war voller Flecken und die gemeinschaftlichen Badezimmern sind abartig. Diese wurden wahrscheinlich noch nie geputzt, außerdem geht das Wasser am Waschbecken nicht. Es sind alle Arten von Tieren in der Toilette und der Dusche gewesen. Ich würde es hier nicht empfehlen, da man hier leider sehr enttäuscht wird. Das einzig schöne war der Strand.

Sadly, I have to agree with the bad reviews. Even for 12$ not good value for money. First of all, the 6 bed dorm doesn't even exist. It's a 10 bed dorm - guess they put "6 bed" bc they know once you're there it's hard to get away. No mosquito nets, no place to put or hang your stuff. The few lockers that exist are so rusty you can hardly open or close them. Same goes for some of the bathroom locks. No soap, neither at bathroom sinks nor in the kitchen. Too few clotheslines. Very unfriendly staff
