Featuring a garden and views of garden, Surf House is a recently renovated homestay located in Sámara, 1.5 km from Samara Beach. With quiet street views, this accommodation provides a patio.

We showed up at 6pm and no one to welcome us and no reception, really bad feeling… found a neighbour who told us that the person was maybe on a surf trip, but no way to contact him as his phone number is getting directly to the voicemail ! Really disappointed, bad experience and now we do have to find something else at this time… For the owner : please show respect to your guests.

Comprising a garden and a shared lounge, Passiflora Backpackers Samara is a recently renovated accommodation in Sámara situated close to Samara Beach.

Really happy with my stay here...it's a super chill place, just minutes from the beach with good wifi to work with and the staff and people I met there were mellow and good company. My dorm bed was comfortable and everything very clean with a big well-equipped kitchen. I would definitely book here again.

Featuring a private beach area and views of sea, Fenix Hotel - On the Beach is a recently renovated guest house located in Sámara, a few steps from Samara Beach.

A magical place. It is on the beach so you can hear the waves and see the sunset from the property. My kids loved the small pool and surfing, going to the beach at will. It is simple and down to earth, reminded me of Kho Pangan in thailand 20 years ago. The town is within a walking distance. The team - Lorena and Kim are great! Helping us booking whales tour, answering every question we had. Very accomodating and freindly. Great relaxed atmosphere. Chill.

Situated in Carrillo, House in the palm forest features accommodation with pool with a view, free WiFi and free private parking for guests who drive.

You couldn’t wish for better hosts and room/ garden / kitchen facilities / location and maybe I was lucky but all the other guests ( maximum of 12 ,at a time ) were amazing people . My 10 days were making great new friends , very kind and genuine people seem to gravitate to this beautiful hotel . You will see monkeys in the trees and wake to their howls & the bird life and that’s it , no road noise , leisurely coffee and breakfast then onto your day :) Absolutely faultless , highly highly recommend . Thank you so very much Hani & Honza , cannot wait to return 🕊️❤️

    This is a great hostel. The volunteers and managers really care. Each night there was something social organized or informal. I was travelling alone but there were other groups and individuals. It was busy even during low season so it’s popular. Kristin and Tom were amazing volunteers. I don’t know how Andres is connected to the hostel but he is so kind, generous, loud and carefree. I would come back here .

    Everything. It's a beautiful dome with a huge comfortable bed and great views. Delicious breakfast and lovely hosts. The only mistake we made was to book for just one night. Should have stayed at least two 😊. Can highly recommend
