One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at!

The BEST hostel I’ve ever stayed in. So clean, cozy and quiet. I could’ve easily stayed there a month. I so badly wanted to take Dobby, Evie and Navi, the hostel pets, home with me. The whole staff and owner were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Sehr schönes und sehr sauberes Hostel. Die Besitzer und die Volunteers waren mega freundlich. Das Design als Schiff ist total cool. Alles ist blitzeblank und es wird auch ziemlich streng darauf geachtet, dass das so bleibt. Das Hostel ist direkt bei der Schnellstraße, sodass man die Autos hört und zu Fuß kann man nur auf dem Seitenstreifen laufen.

Overall the property was nice enough but I wouldn’t recommend for solo travellers at all. There was no atmosphere, nothing social of any kind and so not great if you’re wanting to find people to hang out & explore the area with. There is AC but it’s controlled by the management & comes on (if I remember correctly) at 21:00-09:00… which isn’t great if you’re travelling during hotter months. The large bunks are definitely a plus, and I think you’d enjoy the experience if wanted quite...

Great place! The location is on a main road so it’s loud outside but the rooms are really quiet Even though there’s a lot of people in the dorms, it’s built in a way that you don’t feel them and you have your own privacy The owners and the woman that works there are very kind and helpful It has a nice kitchen with some complementary items that helps you cook and the supermarket is very close

Had a great time here. Kind of in an isolated location which is nice but also can be inconvenient. There are some decent restaurants and a supermarket nearby. The staff and owner are awesome. Clean facilities. Small tight-knit atmosphere with other travelers

J'ai passé un très bon séjour, on vit à moitié dehors et c'est génial ! La cuisine est très bien équipée. Le lieu est très propre et calme.

I had a great stay at Shipwrecked Hostel. I was in town for Envision Festival and needed a place to stay the night before. It's a cute little hostel in Uvita. There is an upstairs open space with places to lounge and do yoga, a few showers and bathrooms, a full kitchen with a stove and fridge, and $10 for laundry is reasonable. The room is secure, air conditioning is great, beds are cozy and private with the curtains, and lockers (with keys). Owner shared local knowledge and recommendations.

ich hatte einen unglaublich tollen Aufenthalt! Es war so schön, dass ich gleich verlängert habe. Alles ist super sauber, ruhig & ordentlich. Man hat Lust bekommen Zeit dort zu verbringen und abends eher zu kochen als Essen zu gehen. Würde immer wieder kommen und habe es all meinen Freunden empfohlen!

Great people & easy to meet other guests as you all sleep in the same room. Super clean, best bunks ever. Right across the street from a supermarket. Great area on upper deck for working remotely. Just the wifi could be better but you will have this issue anywhere you go in Costa Rica.

I had a great stay in shipwrecked hostel. Workers were friendly and helpful and it was clean that also because they want that the guest follow the hostel rules and keep an eye on it. I slept very good (best sleep of my trip so far).

Best best hostel ever. I loved the staff the animals EVERYTHING. Would recommend the chair message it’s phenomenal. Great facilities, clean - SO clean it’s incredible, comfortable beds and private. Only downside is that it’s a bit far from the beach by walking and I slipped a few times walking up the steep hill after it rained. You can easily get Ubers though! Stay here!!

All hostels should be like Shipwrecked Hostel - then bunkbeds were excellent. Just like you had you own little room. Clean everywhere and the staff was so friendly. The social room was very cosy and nice! 10 out of 10 stars!
