Would recommend
Pros: The hostel is well situated, right next to the beach, and you can easily walk there. They organize activities every evening, which makes it easy to meet and connect with other travelers. The staff is friendly. I didn’t use the kitchen, but it seemed fine. The beds are ok, the private shower I had was clean enough, and breakfast is decent—you get three fruits and one pancake.
Cons: It’s not super clean, though acceptable overall. The first night there was no hot water, but it was available the following night.

A great and comfortable hostel to meet new friends!
Pros: I loved my stay at this hostel :) The energy is amazing here and it is really easy to meet new friends here! Additionally the hostel is super close to the beach and has a great location! I was worried that there would be no AC in my 4-bed mixed dormitory because it is not listed, however they had AC in I think all rooms. There was also a super cute cat that was very entertaining!

Pros: A nice pool and vibe. Easy to get to know different people with the spacious reception area in the middle of the hostel. Also easy to get tips and help from the staff. We liked the possibility the hostel had for table tennis and pool, even though it was a bit old and well used. The location was great, right by a laundry and a food store, and just a few minutes to walk down to the beach. In the night there were a guard at the gate. The kitchen worked pretty well with three fridges and two stoves for cooking.
Cons: Even though having AC in the room, it was really hot. The toilet in our dorm didn't flush well and the sink hardly gave any water when we turned it on. The kitchen had a lot of flies and ants. The breakfast was nice with fruits and a pancake but lacked proteins.

Would definitely stay here again if going to Santa Teresa!
Pros: Great staff and very clean. Good kitchen and the breakfast was really tasty. Two of us are gluten free and this was no problem at all, which we appreciated alot. The location is also perfect, close to everything! We recommend so much. Best hostel (of 4 different) we stayed at in Santa Teresa.
Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Really good vibe in the hostel, I kept extending my stay because of the social vibe. If you wanted to go out there was people to go out with but it was also quiet past 11pm if you don't want to go out. The volunteers and staff were really nice. The pool area was actually how it looks in the pictures. Really well equipped kitchen and delicious breakfast.
Cons: If you don't like pancakes every day, but personally I never got sick of it! The location is good if you are a decent surfer, but for me the waves were a bit big at the beach near the hostel, however it's easy to take a bus to playa hermosa

A nice destination at Carmen Beach near Santa Maria
Pros: The social area and the pool were nice. A really good surfing school is working together with the hostel, good surf instructors! Overall, the cleaning was good. Always friendly and helpful staff. If you wanna plan your next destination, the staff in the daily hours can help you the most.
Cons: The kitchen was too small for so many people and really hot. The fridges were not always keeping food cold, but several fridges available. However the kitchen was always clean and tidy during the day, as the volunteers cleaned up throughout the day.

Great location for a few days
Pros: Comfortable beds and the rooms were cleaned daily. Good location to the beach and near lots of resturants plus a supermarket just round the corner. Breakfast was lovely - lots of fresh fruit and a pancake plus coffee/ tea.
Cons: The private rooms are a little noisy as the social area is immediately outside so don't expect a quiet night if you pay extra. The upstairs dorms rooms don't have hot water, just the private room downstairs.
