Location & Hot Water

This was the closest I’ve ever been staying in a crack house. By far the dirtiest hostel I’ve stayed in and the staff were very rude.

The price is the cheapest in town. Bed in the tent was comfortable.

Stayed in January 2023

The kitchen was very small for the amount of people and the there was kind of no cooking equipment

I sleeped in the dorm with the Hammocks. It's possible to hang up your own or the one from the hostel. 1 night in a Hammock from the hostel is 6$ and the price is super fair.

This place is like a prison. There are locks on the inside of doors so you can’t leave the property without a key. The staff watches cameras and stares at you like they are prison wardens. Don’t think you can bring someone on property to your room, staff will charge them for a full night. They are very strict. There’s a fire and problem so prepare to be itchy. Staff wasn’t respectful initially but I stayed a while and they became kinder over the duration of my stay

Location is good

The worst hotel I have been in in my 5 years full time traveling. How somebody could give it a good review is beyond the realms of comprehension? With a zillion tents around, I had to make my way to my dorm room on a floor of beer crates upside down. Looks and feels like a refugee camp. No hot water. 1 toilet per thousand guests, it seems. Simply awful. $22 for a bed? No 💩💩💩 Run while you can..

Absolutely nothing. The reception guy was friendly, that's about it.

The girls had zero complaints!

The 2 bedroom house you have set is was perfect for my daughter and her friends to stay! It was their last weekend in Costa Rica. They have been in college studying abroad and have fallen in love with your county! They loved staying there and it was great to have them call me and see all the smile and laugh that were taken place at your property! Thank you for making it a memorable stay for them!!!

The bathrooms are dirty, there is not enough showers for everyone and in the morning there was no water so I leave to your imagination the condition of the toilets.

The concept, the vibe and the staff was good. It's close to the beach and they do offer activities like bonfires.

This is one of my favourite places in the world. ❤️ The staff is wonderful and sweet.

I will miss this place. It feels like being part of a family. I slept in a Hammock for weeks and loved every minute of it. I woke up to the sound of the ocean in the morning and could go for a swim before breakfast.

This is a unique place. Loved the staff. Ended up staying for 10 days when I was ment to stay one night. Bring a mosquito net and spend a few nights in a hammock.

The style

Stayed in September 2022

We booked a dorm room and we arrived at 5pm we were told there was no dorm room available as it was a mistake by booking.com and it shouldn't have been on the website. We were offered a tent to stay. Although I don't understand why we could not have been told earlier, so that we could make different arrangements.

Didn't stay here.

I stayed in a hammock and it was the worst experience ever. Not because of the hammock but because there is no mosquito net, so I couldn't sleep at all! I was bitten by mosquitoes all night. There are no plugs next to any hammock or nearby. I just found one at the bar. Kitchen too small and very basic, not enough cutlery or utensils. The design of the whole place is just weird.

Free shot when you check in. Next to the beach. Just stayed there because I arrived late at night and just wanted a cheap place to sleep.

The kitchen facilities are not available 24h

Great value for money. A sure choice when stopping off in Puerto Viejo. There are always fun guests that you meet and the bar plays good music. Well equipped communal kitchen. Very artistic and extravagant deco.

Ever thing VERY POOR ......was a Great Hostel 15 years ago...

Beach was close by........

Stayed in June 2022

The property was very dirty, especially the community kitchen. The kitchen was not well stocked. The rooms were incredibly hot, no airflow, and very difficult to navigate. The bathrooms and showers were dirty and not kept fully functional.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The beach was really pretty.

One staff member misplaced my passport and another staff member was extremely unfriendly, and tried to over charge me because she wasn't wanting to listen to the fact that I had overpaid the day before. She seemed to be annoyed and inconvenienced by everything, not so great when you wanting to get matters solved. Another staff member was there though and was super helpful in payment matters. Cameras would be a good thing too as I had one of my belongings go missing.

I liked that they have their own beach, great showers and a the tent set up was clean and comfortable. Some of their staff members were really nice and helpful.

There's no plug inside of the tent, super hot a lot of mosquitoes i couldn't sleep well

Cheap,Good location

Stayed in May 2022

the kitchen was very crowded, very dirty in my opinion and also SO hard to find some utensils! I feel like there were maybe 5 knives and forks for a hostel with over a 100 people. Also no gloves or anything to pick up a hot pan, almost no knives to cut with. If you plan on eating out every night this hostel is very nice, but I hated having to go into the kitchen…

room with good working airconditioning for a low price. the bed was pretty comfortable as well, and the location is also very nice
