Pros: close to the center, the kitchen has all you need, rooms and bed were good

Cons: i misses a hot shower. also the toilets outside of the room, thats a bit annoying when it rains.

Worth it, but it's important to check for yourself where the hot water is and don't forget that there is a gym a

Pros: The location was good, a little far from the center, but it was relatively quiet. The air conditioning worked well most of the time, maybe too well. It was freezing at night. There were fitness and yoga facilities right next to the stream, which was cool, and the whole area was clean and cute.

Cons: Some of the staff knew English and some didn't, but only some were nice. When they gave me a tour of the hostel, they didn't tell me about the facilities and they didn't tell me about one shower that had hot water. Luckily, I found out in the end that there was one shower with hot water, which was not right. And on the last day, I found out that there was a cool gym that was on the other side of the hostel. In fact, the staff lied that there was no shower with hot water because it was really cold at night, so why is that?

Pros: Look nowhere else and stay here. Such a lovely hostel owner, clean rooms and great location. The hostel was super cheap compared to everywhere else we stayed in costa rica. Kitchen was so well quipped and the hostel has a table tennis table and gym

Pros: Breakfast wasn't offered, just coffee. Well stocked kitchen with lots of cooking and eating equipment!

Cons: The mattresses aren't super comfortable- kept getting poked by springs

Pros: Loved this hostel! Very clean room and bed, nice outdoor space to socialise, play table tennis or chill in a hammock. Large lockers were very useful, the staff let me keep my bags in there between checkout and leaving for my next location which was much appreciated! Friendly staff and great location - about ten minutes' walk from the bustle of the main town.

Pros: The communal areas with hanging chairs, table tennis and books

Cons: Very few hot showers, kitchen utensils. No fan to circulate air in communal area

Relaxing hostel, a bit away from main town places

Pros: 4-beds dorm is spacious with the lockers outside. Very good kitchen with everything you need to cook your daily meals, lovely sitting area neat to the river, but there were noisy works during the day. 3 toilets and 3 showers for everyone.

Cons: Walk of 10-15 mins to the good supermarket and major town spots. Didn't see it as particularly social hostel, but everyone was nice.

The best hostel I could possibly choose in La Fortuna

Pros: Amazing social hostel with beautiful common area. There are also tables with sockets for when you want to work. The beds have curtains so you are not too bothered when you want to sleep and others are awake, as well as sockets. Wonderful garden with free gym. Also free coffee in the morning. Whatsapp group that helps socialize and plan trips together. The location is not in the city center, but remember you'll likely use car or Uber to move around, so it doesn't really matter. There still is a grocery store and a couple of restaurants in the area. The center is just 10 minutes walking distance.

Cons: 2 of 3 showers were cold but it wasn't a big deal since it was always hot outside. The receptionist didn't tell me about Whatsapp group so I joined a bit too late, as did others I talked to.

Jonza 8/10
Finland 🇫🇮

Pros: Very good price-quality ratio in my opinion. Everything was nice; comfortable beds and enough room. Nice public yard area with hammocks etc. Also had kitchen and place to hang out clothes et. Also nice that it had a small gym. Was a good place to stay if travel with budget. Enjoyed my stay in here.

Cons: Not much to complain considering the price. Quite worn out in some places but was ok. Also location not that central but was ok too.

Very clean and calm place

Pros: This place is so clean. Ive been staying there for 5 nights and ive seen them clean the place at least 2 times a day. The kitchen is great with everything you need. I really liked the curtains for the bed, bring more privacy. The air conditionning in the room was also nice. I liked the location of the hostel even if it was 10 minutes of walk from the center, it made the place a more quiet and relax place to stay. I liked that there was a bunch of different places to either relax or work (different workspace and hammock) There was also a little gym to workout. Locker to put your things in a safe place if needed My bed was a single bed but big enough, very confortable bed

Cons: The staff wasnt really friendly. A girl in particular. When i arrived she just showed me my room. I asked for a bed more in the back of the room, she said no and left. She didnt show me the place like she did with other customers. I think she doesnt speak good english so she will be more helpful with spanish people..
