I loved Pink Hostel! It was a bit outside of La Fortuna city, so it was very peaceful and the atmosphere was really nice. Gerald and his family are so incredibly kind and hospitable, I felt very comfortable and very well taken care of. They went out of their way to make sure I had a great time in La Fortuna, I will be back!

Pink Hostel is a Unique and superior place to stay. The real difference makes the owner Gerald and his Family. If After all the airbnbs and anonymous Hostel stays there is a Place with REAL hospitality, Geralds Pink Hostel is the Place to Go!!

Gerald and his family are the best host! He loves to share the beauty that is La Fortuna. If you ask to do a tour, he’ll have it arranged or take you himself. The location is slightly outside the city to provide a bit of quiet but not far from all the action. He is available to answer any questions/request you have. Could not recommend this place enough. Not too social of a hostel but amazing if you’re traveling with someone.

Gerald is an amazing host who will do anything in his power to make your trip to la fortuna as amazing as possible. He and his family take care of the hostel really well and if you want to do any activities in la fortuna you should definitely ask him with help for booking, he'll always get you the best deal :). If you want to stay at a fun and authentic place this is the best you will get.

Gerald, his wife, and kids are the best hosts! They went out of their way to make sure I felt at home my entire stay. The property is clean, quiet, and a nice short walk to town. Gerald is so helpful answering any questions you may have about La Fortuna. Looking forward to staying here again in the future!

I can’t say enough good things about Fortuna Pink Hostel. Gerald is the best hostel host I’ve ever had. This is his childhood home, and he manages the hostel with his wife and 2 daughters. He gives really great advice on the best things to do in Fortuna, and goes out of his way to help with anything you need. I highly recommend his sloth tour/night walk and his river tubing experience. The hostel is very clean, and I felt extremely safe. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else! I can’t wait to co...

This has got to be the best hostel in LA Fortuna! Gerald is one of the kindest people I've ever met. He's a great host and family man and he'll help you with any inconveniences and answer your questions. The house is also very taken care of. The rooms are clean and the kitchen has everything you'll need to eat and cook. I can't thank Gerald enough for my stay. Will definitely come back next time I'm visiting Costa Rica!

I don’t even know where to start. The owner Gerald is the absolute best. He and his wife treated us with the up most respect and their hospitality was always phenomenal. My spouse and I did a sloth tour and night walk with Gerald and we saw seven sloths, all in their natural habitat starting from right outside the hostel. He is a great man and even better human being and I think the pink hostel is the best place to stay while in la fortuna.

This was our first stop in Costa Rica and we felt instantly at home thanks to Gerard and his lovely family. We extended an extra 2 nights because it was such a nice, calm atmosphere. It’s near a supermarket so you can cook or it’s about a 10/15 minute walk if you want the main bars and restaurants. Definitely recommend

We had a great stay at this place. Gerard and his family were so so welcoming we immediately felt comfortable staying there. They had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and Gerard’s recommendations for what we should do with our two days were spot on! Thank you to the whole family!

Gerald was amazing!! He really does go above and beyond. Meeting him and his beautiful family was a joy. He helped us to spot a sloth right from the hostel and took us to look for a Toucan. We recommend you book your tours through him, as he is super knowledgeable and will help get the best deals. The place is in a safe neighbourhood and it is very quiet at night. The facilities were rustic, but clean and the kitchen is very spacious. We would definitely come again! Great price! Gracias!

I felt very comfortable in the hostel, thank you so much! It's a 15-20min walk to the city center, but the area is quiet and I felt very safe (as a woman traveling alone). The hosts are very friendly and gave me some great tips :) I would definitely stay here again

I spent three nights with my friend in the pink hostel and it was really good ! The owner Gerald is really nice, he is tour guide and shows us sloth and toucan the minute we arrived ! Also he gave me really good advice to take the bus to go to Nicaragua ! I recommend it for sure . He comes to clean the kitchen and bathroom everyday. He bring us fresh bread every morning and we also have free coffee and free tea !
