Evelyn 8/10

I made friends in this hostel, which is super easy, if you are open to it. I loved the atmosphere and would come back 10

Pros: The open space is great to chat and get to know people. You can rest there perfectly during the hot noon hours and the evening and chat with other guests. The kitchen is super roamy and has a huge table. There is a drying line, so all the towels and clothes are dry within hours. The rooms are small, but you have a private, clean bathroom, which I liked a lot. Lockers are there as well and you get big towels! The host is laid back, roaming around, but more in the background.

Cons: The AC is a little loud, but after a long day at the beach that shouldn’t bother anyone anymore :)

Best budget option in town with a peaceful vibe...

Pros: I had a great stay here and met some wonderful people...including the owner: I remain thankful for his coffee that was always there for the share : ) ...The hostel is a short step from shops, an easy stroll to the beach, a place with a peaceful vibe, there's a large kitchen and plenty of chill space, I will definitely return.

Cons: Happy with all

La pura vida!

Pros: It was so cool there, the owner, a guy from Sweden, is so relaxed about everything. Of course you must be quiet after ten. The kitchen is very well equipped. There is no bar or something. You buy your own drinks at the supermarket and drink it at the hostel. The city Tamarindo is most expensive in Costa Rica, even in supermarkets. The Hostel is not in the Center of the city but only 500 meters from some party places away. Very cheap, but you must do everything buy your own. It was so much fun there because I met lots of other travelers and had such a great time. La pura vida!

Excelente!

Pros: Todo, la energía del lugar es excelente. Sin tener grandes lujos, sus camas están bastante bien, su piscina es agradable y tiene todo lo necesario para que te encuentres cómodo. Lo mejor es la energía del staff ( sobretodo Alana de Australia, genial ella muy amable) y de los hospedados. Sobretodo

Cons: Nada.
